This week on Enjoy Stuff, Jay and Shua tumble head-first into the wonderfully absurd world of Monty Python, celebrating the comedy troupe that made nonsense an art form. From silly walks to spam, it's a fast-paced love letter to ridiculous genius. It's…….Monty Python's Flying Circus! Let's dive head first into the pepper pot of silliness with the classic BBC comedy show that influenced generations.    News Ghostbusters II's River of Slime being turned into a five-hour cinematic ambience video, plunging viewers into the eerie tunnels beneath New York City. Dark Chocolate Reese's Puffs and Cinnamon Toast Crunch Peanut Butter hit the shelves A Kansas public library has recreated some iconic scenes from The Breakfast Club to promote reading and community   Check out our TeePublic store for some enjoyable swag and all the latest fashion trends What we're Enjoying Jay has been diving deep into the imaginative worlds of Andy Weir, enjoying The Martian, Artemis, and Project Hail Mary for their clever science, humor, and heartfelt storytelling. He shares how Weir's blend of problem-solving and character makes each book feel like a cinematic adventure. Shua is loving the Harry Potter: The Full-Cast Audio Editions, now available on Audible, praising the huge ensemble of recognizable voices that bring the wizarding world to life. The immersive performances make it feel like listening to a blockbuster movie in audiobook form.     Sci-Fi Saturdays -  This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay gives ARQ (2016) the spotlight as he discusses this tense, time-looping science-fiction thriller. It's an obscure one that is definitely worth a watch. Read his article on RetroZap.com. And make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com. Plus, you can tune in to SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua talk about great stuff in the MCU.   Enjoy Spam!  Digging into the history of Monty Python's Flying Circus, exploring how six writers, one animator, and one fearless Carol Cleveland changed comedy forever through sketch, satire, and surreal animation. Through 4 seasons of absurdist comedy, they broke the mold of what comedy was supposed to be.    Then we wrap things up with a playful game in which Jay reads the opening line of an iconic Python quote and challenges Shua to guess what comes next. Test yourself if you're a Python fan to see if you can do better than Shua. .   Are you a Monty Python fan? Do you like Spam? Who won the English football cup in 1949? Let us know! First person that emails me with the subject line, "This is a dead parrot" will get a special mention on the show.  Let us know.

Hey, quilty friends! Leslie and Rochelle just had a wild chat covering everything but the kitchen sink. Rochelle is fully committed to her new life as a Clogger and Rock Climber, having danced for four hours straight and tackled a challenging climb. Meanwhile, Leslie is recovering from a baking disaster that involved a batch of burnt chocolate chip cookies. The entertainment front was equally chaotic, with a deep-dive on the book Project Hail Mary and a recommendation for the movie Song Sung Blue (yes, the one with Neil Diamond songs). They wrapped up this segment by discussing the concept of finding joy in the small stuff—the "borrowed light rule"—a perfect motto for this duo's adventures.The upcoming Galentine's event is set to be a blast, with 33 kits already cut for hilarious-sounding projects like 'Love Stinks' and the 'Mushroom King.' The biggest news is that the 'Inappropriate Quilters' retreat at Osage Hills Retreat Center is already sold out—talk about high demand! They even had a chat about the seasonal slowness of quilt production, which gives them time to plan for future fun like bunting and prosperity hens. Plus, Leslie's fabulous long-arm machine, Esther, got a shout-out. The immediate to-do list is focused on setting up a retreat waitlist and getting Rochelle the right tap plates for her new clogging shoes.

Episode Summary Frank and Jonathan are officially back for 2026 after a hectic but fun holiday break, including the Geek Freaks Network Christmas party and a little self-awareness about how often podcasters say "you know." From there, they hand out their personal "best of 2025" picks across movies, TV, superhero projects, and games, plus run through the community poll winners. Then it's full speed into 2026 hype: a family-friendly movie calendar, the big "adult list" blockbusters (including the absolute chaos of Avengers: Doomsday and Dune 3 landing the same day), and the TV slate they're most excited to keep on the radar. They close with a spoiler-heavy talk on the Stranger Things finale and what the show stuck the landing on, especially character growth, the goodbye energy, and how cinematic the final battles felt. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 Welcome back, holiday break recap, and the Geek Freaks Network Christmas party 01:45 "Best of 2025" picks: movies, TV, and what surprised them 04:26 Superhero movie and superhero show poll results (plus some spicy takes) 10:16 Game of the year voting and falling back on comfort games 11:38 Best villain debate and why Pennywise took over the conversation 14:50 2026 family movie calendar (kid-friendly theater picks) 20:22 2026 blockbuster calendar: 28 Years Later, Project Hail Mary, Ready or Not 2, and more 26:43 The "event day" problem: Avengers: Doomsday and Dune 3 on the same date 28:22 2026 TV hype: The Boys, Game of Thrones spin-offs, Star Trek, One Piece, Lanterns, and more 38:46 Stranger Things finale review: the goodbye, the battle, and what hit hardest 47:15 Dungeons and Dragons sidebar and why they need binders like Stranger Things 50:01 "Most cinematic finale" talk and the Abyss/Dimension X discussion Key Takeaways Sinners was Frank's clear movie of 2025, with major praise for the craft and the left-turn genre surprise. Superman won the community superhero movie vote, but Thunderbolts got real respect for performances and exceeding expectations. Andor is still the "tell your friends they're missing out" show, even if Stranger Things owned the bigger pop culture moment. The superhero show vote was tight, and the conversation around Daredevil: Born Again came with real critiques about structure and payoff. 2026 is stacked across both "take your kid to the movies" picks and big-ticket IMAX events. Stranger Things earned its goodbye, especially by bringing the focus back to friendship, growing up, and the reality that life moves on. Memorable Quotes "You realize how much you say 'you know' when you're podcasting." "It felt like a finale divided in two." "This is about friends and not just this big brand fight." "Don't let Disney brush it off. Watch it and enjoy this fresh idea from Marvel." "As much as they're saying bye to each other, they're saying bye to us as well." Poll and Discussion Highlights Mentioned Best superhero movie vote: Superman took the top spot (with Thunderbolts close behind in their personal debate). Best superhero show vote: Daredevil: Born Again edged out Peacemaker in a near tie. Game of the year vote: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 came out on top. Best villain talk: Pennywise (Welcome to Derry) dominated the conversation, with shout-outs to other standouts.

The year is done, the streaming bills are higher than ever, and Jamie Apps and Corrina Mabey are back in The Commentary Booth to decide what was worth your time and what absolutely wasn't. Welcome to the 3rd Annual Treats Or Trash Awards, a brutally honest look back at the best and worst TV shows and movies of 2025.In this jam-packed episode, Jamie and Corinna battle over rising streaming prices, reveal the platform that won the year (and the one that's burning a hole in our wallets), and crown the ultimate TV show that dominated the conversation. But it's not all glory, they also expose the "Ultimate Trash Fire" award winner, a show so bad it became a legendary disaster.Highlights Breakdown:

A Little Greek, A Little Sci-Fi 2025 kicked off my goal of reading the great books of Western Civilization. So in typical fashion I read a little Greek, a little sci-fi, and a smattering of everything else. Indiepub still factored into the list with some hits and misses, just like the tradpubs. As always, the goal we should all have isn’t quantity it’s quality. But quality doesn’t just mean classic great books, it means books you enjoy and changes you and allows you to experience escapism and learn more about God’s world as He is the ultimate storyteller.

Most Anticipated Movies of 2026 Ranked! Greg Alba & Coy Jandreau count down and debate the most anticipated movies of 2026, breaking down blockbusters, franchise sequels, reboots, prestige films, and wild curveballs we can't stop thinking about. Instead of ranking by our personal order alone, this episode covers the biggest upcoming films audiences are buzzing about, studio by studio and genre by genre — from massive superhero tentpoles to sci-fi epics, horror revivals, anime adaptations, and auteur-driven passion projects.

Thomas and Frank look back on the movies and TV that defined their 2025, from why Superman hit so hard to how Marvel's three-film run landed with Thunderbolts, Fantastic Four, and Captain America: Brave New World. They also talk about the stuff that disappointed them, why TV felt like it "won" this year, and the shows they could not stop thinking about, including IT: Welcome to Derry, Alien: Earth, and Andor. To close it out, they shift into 2026 mode: what's got them genuinely excited again, which upcoming releases feel like "event" movies, and how they want to evolve Challenge Accepted next year by being more personal and more present on social. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 – Welcome back, what this episode covers (2025 favorites + 2026 hype) 00:33 – Thomas check-in and the newborn update 01:32 – The baby's first Marvel movie (yes, really) 03:31 – Quick run through the 2025 movie list 03:55 – Why Superman was the movie of the year 04:02 – F1 as the surprise hit 07:15 – What worked in Superman (comic-book storytelling and trusting the audience) 10:56 – "I needed that movie this year" 11:03 – Marvel's 2025 slate starts: Brave New World, Fantastic Four, Thunderbolts 11:56 – Why Thunderbolts is the one that felt different 18:12 – Sinners and the hunger for original stories 22:25 – Weapons (and the conversation spirals into other watchlist picks) 24:56 – K-Pop Demon Hunters love and why it clicked 28:38 – Disappointments and missed watches, including Star Trek: Section 31 30:24 – "TV shows dominate" and why this year proved it 30:53 – TV highlights sprint: Welcome to Derry, Stranger Things, Daredevil, Alien: Earth, and more 32:04 – Andor praise and why the release format worked 35:01 – Frank's top TV list: Chief of War, Paradise, Player Base 36:03 – Alien: Earth reactions (including the ending debate) 37:08 – Next year's challenge (Fargo Season 4) 39:10 – Revisiting Marvel 2025: what each movie represents and what Marvel should learn 41:33 – The big disappointment: Chair Company (plus Ironheart) 45:03 – Quick plug: Survivor 49 coverage and Survivor 50 excitement 46:11 – 2026 hype begins: Supergirl and the DCU momentum 50:02 – The Odyssey and why it feels like an "event" movie 51:15 – Marvel needs to "earn" the hype again 52:51 – Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping and why it could be huge 53:16 – Rapid fire 2026 watchlist: Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Project Hail Mary, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple 55:01 – Why seeing Spider-Man filmed "for people" matters 55:55 – The Mandalorian and Grogu as a real theatrical Star Wars moment 57:54 – What they want to improve on Challenge Accepted next year 58:40 – Social media mindset: be natural, be present, stop over-polishing 59:52 – Outro + how to send in your challenge Key Takeaways Superman landed because it played like an actual comic-book story and trusted the audience to keep up. Marvel's 2025 trio felt like three different "versions" of the brand, and Thunderbolts was the one that showed the most heart and restraint. Sinners is a great example of why original stories can still feel like a must-watch cultural moment. 2025 was stacked for TV, and the list of standouts is honestly longer than most years' movie lists. Andor remains the gold standard for prestige franchise storytelling, and the release strategy helped it stick. 2026 looks like it could swing back to a movie-forward year with multiple "event" releases on the calendar. They want the show to feel more personal in 2026, including more natural social posts and more listener involvement. Quotes "Talking about you, some of our favorite movies and shows from 2025 and what we're hyped for in 2026." "Yeah it was I needed that movie this year. Like I needed it." "They gave a director a chance to tell their story." "Right now, welcome to dairy. Holy cow. These last couple episodes have been so damn fire." "It makes me cry that it's the finale." "You don't necessarily need to make a polished post." "It's for people, not just, you know, for box office numbers."

It's the Year of the Horse, the Fire Horse, and somehow Johnny Spoiler—a confirmed Water Pig according to the Chinese zodiac—is here to guide you safely through one of the weirdest cult fantasy sequels of the 1990s:Beastmaster 2: Through the Portal of Time (1991).This week on the podcast, Johnny Spoiler revisits the movie that turned sword-and-sorcery into a full-on Los Angeles crime comedy, where Marc Singer's Dar rides through Hollywood in a convertible, an overworked detective just wants to close his cases, and an evil brother is chasing an atomic bomb across dimensions. Yes—this is real. And yes—it somehow works.We break down why Beastmaster 2 became a cable-TV classic (so overplayed on TBS it earned the nickname “The Beastmaster Station”), why it's the only truly fun Beastmaster movie, and how its mix of fantasy, comedy, and 90s culture makes it endlessly rewatchable.Along the way, Johnny Spoiler digs into:Why the “time portal” is actually a parallel universeThe return of Kodo & Podo (ferret continuity corner)Why the animals get sidelined in favor of dimension-hopping brother dramaWings Hauser delivering elite B-movie villain greatnessJames Avery (Uncle Phil!) as the exhausted L.A. cop archetypeSara Douglas (Superman II, Conan the Destroyer) in full dark-fantasy modeKari Wuhrer, Sliders, Hellraiser, and peak 90s genre energyWe also hit Home Video Headlines, where Johnny Spoiler rants about the current state of movies, TikTok trailers, Project Hail Mary hype, Dracula with Christoph Waltz, and why modern cinema feels like it needs a shot of rocket fuel to stay relevant.You'll also get:Favorite bits and cable-era nostalgiaWhy Beastmaster 2 works as family-friendly fantasy funFan questions about reviewing mainstream vs cult moviesStaff picks from Tubi, The Office Season 5, TED, and a renewed interest in Balls of Fury Green lightning. Sword-and-sorcery on Sunset Boulevard. Johnny Spoiler doing what he does best—making sense of movies that absolutely should not exist.Binge now.ProveX https://tr.ee/ProveXJohnnyMeatzy https://tr.ee/GetMeatzyJohnny

"I just saw this bright, golden, light. It encompassed me. And in the middle of that light was the most beautiful face." ---------- Fifty years ago today, with seconds left on the clock, a quarterback launched a desperate pass and later said, "I closed my eyes and said a Hail Mary." The phrase stuck -- a last-ditch effort when human ability runs out. As I record this episode, I'm reading Project Hail Mary -- a story about humanity's final attempt to save the world. A last play. A long shot. A mission resting on grace. But tucked inside this episode is something even more striking. In Episode 246, Darron wasn't throwing a Hail Mary at all. And yet -- at the very last seconds of a supposed past-life regression -- the Blessed Mother arrived anyway. Uninvited. Unmistakable. Pointing him not to herself, but to her Son. Because sometimes, when time is up… You don't even have to throw the prayer. She comes running. ---------- Share Your Story If you have a Touched by Heaven moment that you would like to share with Trapper, please leave us a note at https://touchedbyheaven.net/contact Our listeners look forward to hearing about life-changing encounters and miraculous stories every week.

We open by tracking our video money and mocking the chef who quit Elon's "epic" bacon diner, before diving into the IN THE NEWS segment where plummeting crypto and Nvidia stocks confirm everything is a sham; we cover Bezos's new $6.2 billion AI flop, a sleeping Tesla Robotaxi driver, and why OpenAI's new school tools are a Recipe for Idiocracy with students who can't read; in MEDIA CANDY, we tear apart Disney's lazy Moana remake; THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE we discuss Zork going open source and why movies just don't feel real anymore before CLOSING SHOUT-OUTS where we are mourning Mani from the Stone Roses, and wishing Bjork a very metal 60th.We start with a FOLLOW UP on our channel's performance, wading through the garbage pile of Monetization questions and Stats, including the scourge of Shorts—because apparently, that's what we do now. Speaking of people running from trouble, former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers is ditching his OpenAI board seat after a fresh batch of cringey Jeffrey Epstein emails surfaced. Meanwhile, the financial world is having a meltdown: Nvidia's Stock is Falling Again after its earnings report, exposing the fact that almost Yet Another Study Shows That Most Companies Aren't Making Any Money Off AI, and Bitcoin is Getting Absolutely Crushed Right Now, which we happily remind you will Trigger the Next Financial Crisis. Don't worry, Jeff Bezos will head a new engineering-focused AI startup because the world clearly needs more tech billionaires throwing money at things they don't understand, while Apple is reportedly getting ready to replace Tim Cook.The tech-bro corruption parade continues as a former DOJ official points out that Trump's Crypto Pardon of the Binance co-founder is exactly what it looks like, and Elon's pet AI, Grok Insists That Elon Musk Is More Physically Fit Than LeBron James and better at everything else, proving the bot has been sampling its boss's Adderall. Even though ChatGPT Achieves a New Level of Intelligence by finally letting you disable its em-dash addiction, companies like Intuit are integrating its tax and accounting products with ChatGPT—because who doesn't want an AI-powered tax audit? This all dovetails nicely with the news that OpenAI is launching ChatGPT for Teachers' right as students' math skills hit a low, leading to a literal Recipe for Idiocracy where elite college students Can't Read Books. The whole thing is broken, including Tesla's so-called Robotaxi, where a Passenger Alarmed When Tesla Robotaxi “Safety” Driver Falls Completely Asleep at the Wheel. On a lighter note, we check out the new trailers for The Witcher S4, Frankenstein, and Project Hail Mary in MEDIA CANDY, and tear apart the absolutely unnecessary live-action Moana teaser, before mentioning the biggest drama launch on Apple TV, Pluribus.Next up is THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE, where our tireless security guru Dave Bittner throws in some random facts, like Microsoft making Zork I, II, and III open source and videos on why the iOS Keyboard is Broken and Why Movies Just Don't Feel "Real” Anymore, and we discuss Thanksgiving plans. Finally, in CLOSING SHOUT-OUTS, we end with a shout-out to our generous PATREON supporters and PAYPAL/STRIPE donors, mourn the passing of Stone Roses and Primal Scream bassist Mani, and wish the incomparable Bjork a milestone 60th birthday.Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/tWM83ra7Qp8Sponsors:Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.
