On today's True Sunlight Podcast, Co-hosts Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell continue their investigation into the photos and screenshots found on Stephen Smith's phone, learning more about what the Hampton, S.C., teen's life was like leading up to his mysterious death in July 2015. Mandy and Liz revisit two interviews with South Carolina Highway Patrol that — with new context — shed more light on his very last night and on what evidence SLED might have to help them retrace Stephen's steps. Plus, listeners will finally get to hear Stephen's own voice from a video Mandy and Liz found on his iPad... Also on the show, Luna Shark is taking on a new case! This May, Michael Colucci will stand trial — again — for the 2015 murder of his wife, Sara Lynn Moore-Colucci. Michael — a wealthy, prominent and well-connected Charleston-area man — insists that his wife killed herself with a garden hose. His attorney Andy Savage (yes, that one) even suggests that she might have tripped and fallen into the hose and hanged herself. SLED Agent David Owen — remember him from Alex Murdaugh's trial? — and the Attorney General say Michael strangled Sara to death in a fit of anger. This case features a lot of familiar themes and players from the Murdaugh trial, including the twists and turns that seem to have come right off the pages of a novel... On Tuesday, we published one of our Top Five Favorite episodes of Cup of Justice! We interviewed Emmy Award Winning Journalist and TV Host Tamron Hall. Tamron was on the TODAY Show in Mandy's early days of journalism and she deeply admired how she handled stories. So, y'all… give episode 69 of COJ a listen to learn all about her new book 'Watch Where They Hide', the attached scripted series and bias in journalism.

WHOA!!!  Here's our 75th episode, not including bonus episodes!  I can't believe it - well, yeah, I can, whatever. This week we're keeping The Professionals Series going with our favorite Grifters - Con Men/Con Women, etc.  This started out being a very easy list for me, but then again I was trying not to be overly obvious.  I did trump my sister on a couple of movies, though - one of which I could have sworn we'd watched together, but I'll be quite excited to watch them with her when I visit in April. If you've tried to send us an email in the past few weeks, you probably thought we were making up that address...well, we weren't, I just forgot to renew our domain - oops.  I'm hoping that explains the lack of engagement from our community, LOL. So that email is:  hello@thetopfivepodcast.com.  Let us know if there's a topic you want us to take on!!

I don't know about y'all, but I could talk about movie cops in a dozen different ways - and I think even Annie would say the same.  You often get cops in buddy movies - like Riggs and Murtaugh, Tango and Cash, etc.  And then you have the franchise people - for which we do have something to say in this episode.  And we haven't even talked about TV cops yet at all.  I am trying my darndest not to break Annie's rule after our first episode on teachers. Hope you enjoy this episode.  We still have a ton of professions to get through!  For example: Con Artists Retail Workers Soldiers Priests Um....Prostitutes Do you have one you'd like us to take on?  Email us:  hello@thetopfivepodcast.com  

Okay, raise your hand if this is your favorite series so far?   It might be mine, I haven't decided yet.  But we sure are having a lot of fun. This week, for The Professionals Series, we are talking about our favorite characters who are playing Actors.  That's right - actors playing actors, who knew?  Talking about these characters was great fun for us.   While he didn't make the list, I continue to think about Leonardo DiCaprio's performace in a little Woody Allen movie called CELEBRITY, from 1998.  This was, of course, coming off of Leo's huge star-making turn in TITANIC so it's ironic that he's an actor playing a typical celebrity actor.  Maybe not so many women in his bed, though, I don't know.   Just like any other role, actors playing actors dive deep into research. They study the mannerisms, speech patterns, and body language of actors both past and present to capture the essence of their character's profession. Actors portraying actors might find themselves reflecting on their own experiences in the industry. Drawing from personal anecdotes, struggles, and triumphs can add authenticity to their portrayal and create a layered performance that resonates with audiences (Annie and I had 1 bit of overlap in this show, and it's definitely a reflection of this point here.) What do you think of our list?  We'd love to hear your thoughts - hello@thetopfivepodcast.com 

Welcome to the next episode in our Professionals Series - DOCTORS. Doctors, the real-life heroes in the medical drama of life. Representing them correctly in movies? Oh, it's crucial! Setting Realistic Expectations: Ever notice how in movies, doctors seem to have the superpower of solving complex cases in an hour? Let's talk about the importance of setting realistic expectations. Medicine is more than just quick diagnoses; it's about diligence, teamwork, and sometimes, the reality of uncertainty. Humanizing the White Coat: Doctors aren't just walking textbooks with stethoscopes. Accurate portrayals help humanize them, showcasing the emotional toll, personal sacrifices, and the occasional self-doubt. It's like adding vibrant colors to the canvas, making the narrative richer and more relatable. Reflecting Diversity in Medicine: Doctors are a diverse group. Movies should reflect this diversity, breaking away from the one-size-fits-all portrayal. Whether it's different specialties, backgrounds, or challenges, let's celebrate the multifaceted world of medicine. Highlighting Ethical Dilemmas: Medicine often involves navigating ethical minefields. From tough decisions to moral dilemmas, movies can explore these aspects, sparking important conversations about the complexities doctors face.  Addressing Mental Health in Medicine: Doctors are human, too, dealing with the weight of responsibility and high-stakes situations. Addressing the mental health aspect in movies helps destigmatize seeking help and emphasizes the importance of well-being in the medical profession. Let us know how you feel about our approach to this show as well as our choices!  We want to hear from you!

Welcome back to the show and our new Professionals Series!  Now that Annie and I have really started digging into this, I think you're going to be THRILLED with what is coming around the bend.   Doctors Con Artists Priests "Sex-Workers" What ideas do YOU have for professionals we should add to the series?   This episode features ZERO overlap and ZERO cheating by me, mostly - and you'll also get to hear from my niece, Emily, who was home from college for the weekend.  Always exciting when Annie's kids join us on the show! Give us some feedback, people - we WANT it!  hello@thetopfivepodcast.com 

In this episode of the 'top five' podcast, my sister Annie and I launched a new series where we explore portrayals of different careers in movies. We opted to start with Teaching, with this episode making me reflect back on our "Top Five Movies About College" episode. Despite veering off the beaten path, we discuss both movies and characterizations that we think reflect disparate elements of the education system and the teaching profession as a whole. It was a unique discussion as Annie and I approached this series concept differently but it gave us context for the series, which I do anticipate will be a BIG one.  We're already working on Doctors, Lawyers, Prostitutes (why not?), and...well, what ideas do y'all have?  We want to hear them!!   Email us today:  hello@thetopfivepodcast.com and give us some suggestions for The Professionals Series!

Happy New Year, Top Five Fans!  And major apologies for taking almost a month off and not telling y'all about it.  Between Annie and me, we just needed to take a Tech Time Out.  But we are BACK and super duper excited for 2024!! Today's episode is highlighting characters from the incredible film career of one Gary Oldman - Oscar-winning Chameleon Actor who is all things sexy, hard-core, and funny...not to mention dangerous, deep, over-the-top, and a variety of other superlative adjectives. Where Gary Oldman is concerned, I always yield to my sister's knowledge of his films because she "found him" first!  She shares a story of how she discovered his films that always makes me nostagic for our college years together.   Anyway:  here's a few more deets on today's episode: The hosts share detailed insights into movies like Sid and Nancy, The Professional, True Romance, Bram Stoker's Dracula, and others. They also discuss their love for the actor himself and his incredible range, noting how he often completely transforms into his characters, making him a favorite actor to many other celebrities. The episode also explores topics such as Oldman's lesser-known roles and the movies the hosts recommend people watch.   Did any of these roles make YOUR list?  Send us an email and let us know!  hello@thetopfivepodcast.com   

In this episode of 'The Top 5 Podcast', hosted by Kris McPeak and  Annie Pruitt, the pair discuss their top five guilty pleasure songs, and this crazy-fun playlist includes tunes from artists like the Nelson brothers, Hanson, and wildly popular boy bands like New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys. They mention songs from Rebecca Black, Air Supply, and Ashley Simpson. They also delve into their honorable mentions, including tracks by Dead Eye Dick and Rick Springfield. The discussion also includes reminiscing over the years and the importance of some of these songs in their lives. Want the playlist?  Ya darn tootin'!  CLICK HERE to get your paws on this one - it's super-duper fun! 00:01 Introduction and Welcome 00:33 Pre-Thanksgiving Chit-Chat 02:20 Guilty Pleasure Songs Discussion Begins 03:27 Listener Engagement and Contact Information 03:49 Top Five Guilty Pleasure Songs Countdown 18:52 Honorable Mentions and Final Thoughts 26:19 Recap and Conclusion

We're up to the second episode of our Guilty Pleasure Series - and after the Movies Episode, which was very difficult for Annie, bless her heart, we are back with our favorite Guilty Pleasure TV shows and this one was just a tad bit easier. Still silly. Remember - guilty pleasures are like the secret stash of chocolate you hide in your desk drawers – they're indulgent and maybe a tad bit naughty. And yet, even though they are guilty pleasures, we don't always feel super guilty at all, do we? And what are the defining characteristics of guilty pleasure shows anyway? Well, first off, they often defy the norms of what's considered "high-brow" or "cultured." It's that guilty feeling you get when you know you probably should be reading a classic novel but, instead, you're binge-watching a reality show. They also tend to be a bit over-the-top, whether it's the drama, the humor, or the sheer outrageousness of it all. It's like they crank everything up to 11 (from SPINAL TAP, which could in itself be a Guilty Pleasure, haha), and we can't help but be drawn in. Plus, guilty pleasures often provide a quick fix of entertainment – no need to overthink, just enjoy the ride.

Well - y'all know we HATE to be behind on these shows, but sometimes life just gets in the way, right?  Apologies all around for keeping you hanging for - OMG - three weeks.  I mean, we get to start missing it, too, LOL. So this new series is all about The Guilty Pleasure.  Heather Z. and I were working up an episode on Guilty Pleasure TV shows, but then Annie dropped the series idea into my lap and we were off to the races.  And let's just all make fun of my sister for just two seconds - she really had a tough time with this first episode:  Guilty Pleasure Movies.   But before we go too far into embarrassing my amazing co-host, let's just break down what we mean by Guilty Pleasure... A guilty pleasure is like that secret stash of chocolate you keep hidden in your desk drawer (or, as in my case, Jolly Rancher candy) – you know you shouldn't indulge too much, but you simply can't resist. It's those movies, songs, or activities that bring us immense joy, even if they don't necessarily align with our usual taste or the highbrow standards of society. Guilty pleasures often have a certain addictive quality, a magnetic pull that draws us in, leaving us utterly captivated...or ashamed and embarassed. Now, let's talk about how they differ from cult classics. Cult classics are like those vintage vinyl records that only true connoisseurs appreciate. They're not just loved; they're adored, celebrated, and embraced by a devoted fanbase. Cult classics usually have a niche appeal, captivating a specific group of enthusiasts with their unique charm, quirky characters, or unconventional storytelling. These gems achieve a level of cult status because they resonate deeply with their audience, creating a shared sense of belonging among fans. So, while both guilty pleasures and cult classics bring us immense joy, the distinction lies in their reception. Guilty pleasures might be seen as indulgent delights we enjoy privately, while cult classics are cherished openly, forming connections and communities around their magnetic allure. It's fascinating how these different forms of entertainment enrich our lives, isn't it?  And thus, yet another reason why you can't help but appreciate this show, am I right? So - enjoy!  Make fun of us all you want, LOL.  And, hey, we want to know what you think!!  Send us an email:  hello@thetopfivepodcast.com. Tell us your thoughts, and get ready for the next episode in the series!

So we're here this week to close out the country music series - we think, anyway - and as a Belated Labor Day show, we are honoring the World of Work.   this little episode  features songs that honor the work day, but even though the term "working class hero" does refer to blue-collar, Annie and I reflect on our own hourly-worker experiences as well as job transitions, etc.  I think y'all will enjoy these songs! Yes, there is a playlist, but it's not complete due to a certain country artist's big-time streaming deal...but no worries.  I'll try to get Annie to make us an Amazon Music Playlist, too! Enjoy!!!

Whoa, sports movies!!  What is it about these films that give us such a charge?? Movies about sports have this magical ability to captivate us because they tap into our deepest emotions and passions. They're not just about the game; they're about the human spirit, determination, and the triumph of the underdog. When we watch these films, we're not just witnessing a match; we're going on an emotional rollercoaster ride. We cheer for the underdogs, empathize with their struggles, and feel a surge of adrenaline during those intense game moments. These movies often showcase teamwork, dedication, and the pursuit of excellence, which are qualities that resonate deeply with us as humans. Plus, sports movies tend to have fantastic storytelling. They weave compelling narratives around the games, adding layers of drama, friendship, love, and sometimes even humor. It's this combination of relatable characters, powerful storytelling, and the thrill of competition that makes sports movies so incredibly exciting and universally loved. They inspire us, make us believe in ourselves, and remind us that with determination and heart, anything is possible!

Maybe it's because both Annie and me didn't really get into country music until our adult years - and in both cases, that was around the late '90s and early 2000s - but we still feel compelled to continue the country music series AND the concept of our favorite "whatever" in The New Millenium...but that is the theme for today's Country Music Series Episode.   Although Annie and I didn't just stumble on country music.  There are, indeed, a wealth of factors that brought country music into mainstream musical/pop culture: Crossover Success Country artists like Shania Twain and Faith Hill gained widespread popularity by crossing over into mainstream pop music, attracting a larger and more diverse audience. Bro-Country The emergence of the "bro-country" subgenre, characterized by party-themed lyrics and a fusion of country and rock elements, led by artists such as Luke Bryan and Florida Georgia Line, contributed to a new wave of listeners embracing country music. Digital and Online Platforms The rise of digital platforms and online streaming allowed country music to reach a global audience more easily, breaking down geographical barriers and fostering the growth of new artists and fan communities. And then there's the Country Concert Experience: Country music concerts provided fans with an opportunity to experience their favorite artists and songs in a live setting. The energetic performances and interactions between artists and fans helped create a strong sense of community and connection. Many country artists embarked on extensive tours during the 2000s, often collaborating with other artists for joint tours or music festivals. These tours not only showcased the individual talents of artists but also exposed audiences to a variety of country music styles. The 2000s saw the rise of country music festivals, such as the CMA Music Festival and Stagecoach Festival. These events brought together a diverse lineup of country artists and attracted attendees from all over the country, contributing to the genre's visibility and popularity. Successful country music tours and concerts served as effective marketing tools for artists and their albums. They helped boost album sales, increase radio airplay, and elevate the overall profile of country music. and, of course, the Apple Music Playlist can be found HERE.  ENJOY!!!!

Welcome back!!  We wouldn't be doing our due diligence if we didn't give the ladies a chance to be featured for that whole Character Actor thing.  We talked about our favorite five fellas a couple of weeks ago, now we'll dish about the ladies! To be clear, what makes someone a "Character Actress?" A 'character actress' typically refers to an actress who specializes in playing distinctive, unique, and often supporting roles that are memorable due to their personality, appearance, or quirks. These roles often deviate from conventional leading or romantic roles and require the ability to portray a wide range of characters. Character actresses are known for their versatility, transformative performances, and ability to bring depth to supporting roles, adding richness to the storytelling. We also somewhat operated under the same "code" from the Character Actor episode, which basically identified these rules, as previously posted on New York Magazine's VULTURE site: ➼ The Jenkins Rule: If a performer has been nominated for an Oscar, that performer is ineligible. ➼ The Dowd-Martindale Rule: If a performer has won a lead or supporting actor Emmy, that performer is ineligible. (Winners of an Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor are permitted.) ➼ The Hahn Rule: If a performer currently works primarily as a lead, that performer is ineligible. OH NO!  Spoiler Alert!!!!  Does anyone with the last name Hahn or Martindale factor into today's episode?  I guess you'll have to listen and see!!  

I am quite surprised that it took us more than a year to get down with Country Music, but I'm really glad that we have, AND that we're starting this special "mini-series" with our favorite Drinkin' Songs. Annie and I both went to high school in rural Arkansas, and the first thing we ever learned about country music (having just moved from Chicago) was that there were three subjects covered:  My Truck, My Momma (or My Grandma), and My Beer, or whatever other liquor you had around.  Now that's about as simplistic as country music can get but shoot...who doesn't love a country song about drinkin'? Country Music Duets and our favorite tunes in the 2000's are coming next - and if you have any suggestions for country music Top Five LIsts, just shoot us an email:  hello@thetopfivepodcast.com  And you are seriously a big old fool if you don't fall in LOVE with this playlist!  it's pretty freaking epic if I do say so myself!  Check it out HERE.

Welcome back to another fun show!  Sorry that we've sort of been hit-and-miss since Annie returned from Europe.  Working this whole 4/10 schedule usually means I'm home by 6 pm and that's a little late for my Central-Time Co-Host Sibling to get started recording.  But don't you worry - the 4/10's will be ending SOON! Meanwhile, you're going to hear Annie and I talk alot about "New Millenium" things in the next few episodes.  Yeah, we know - that was, like, 23 years ago...but the good news about that is there was incredibly good music being cranked out during those early years.  The early 2000's were my years living in Chicago, Arizona, and Nashville all before moving to California - I hosted a karaoke show in Chicago, discovered country music in Arizona, and you can bet your ass that I loaded up on a TON of musical influences during my 18 months living in Nashville. Regardless - as Annie and I were kicking up new show ideas, this whole "Our Fave Cover Songs of The New Millenium" seemed an obvious choice and I do hope that you'll enjoy our selections.   And is there a playlist?  OMG - you're darn tootin' there is!  You can find that bad boy RIGHT HERE.   ALTHOUGH - there are three of our songs that you can't find on Apple Music (BIG TIME SAD FACE).  But not to worry - we have links to them here! BETTER MAN - Sugarland 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover - Miley Cyrus Can't Help Falling in Love - 21 Pilots ENJOY!!!

Happy Belated Independence Day, or as I like to say, "Happy Birthday to My Favorite Sibling Co-Host!"  Yes, that's right, our own Annie Pruitt was Born on the 4th of July and we still totally let her think that the fireworks are all for her!   We had a couple of weeks off, ish, while Annie was in Europe with her family, but we have a HUGE new list of amazing topics coming down the pike soon, AND I promise that Doug Ferguson and Heather Zeitzwolfe will be back as well.   So - this character actor thing...Annie and I both approached our research a little differently and found some "rules" on what qualifies as a character actor role.  A fairly standard definition, like this one from Studio Binder, states, "A character actor is a film or television performer who specializes in portraying unique, offbeat, colorful characters in supporting roles. The term can be applied to actors who excel in one specific type of character or those who transform themselves for each role and take on a wide range of character types."  However, I found myself trying desperately to stay within the lines of these particular rules, as stated on New York Magazine's VULTURE site: ➼ The Jenkins Rule: If a performer has been nominated for an Oscar, that performer is ineligible. ➼ The Dowd-Martindale Rule: If a performer has won a lead or supporting actor Emmy, that performer is ineligible. (Winners of an Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor are permitted.) ➼ The Hahn Rule: If a performer currently works primarily as a lead, that performer is ineligible. Well, you will notice that Annie and I tried to yield to those "recommendations," and it's easier said than done, let me tell you.  Our list primarily consists of contemporary actors who are still with us, but I do pull one very classic actor out of the mix for my list.  and having said that, not only will we be bringing out a list of our Top Five Favorite Female Character Actors, but we'll be throwing out a few additional mixes because I'll be damned if we're going to have a character actor conversation which does not include Gary Oldman (come to think of it, he might even get his own show!).   Anyway - enjoy!!

While there are certainly full seasons of shows you can binge-watch on Hulu or Netflix on a sick day, there are also a bunch of great movies out there that are easy to follow, will make you laugh and smile, and otherwise take your mind off of whatever ailment you are nursing.  And surely lots of us needed this list during our recent pandemic, but let's face it - when you're suffering from that summer cold, Winter-Break-Flu, or recuperating from this or that surgery or whatever else, Annie and I have created a decent list of everything from romantic comedies to WWII Epics. And while this episode is coming in as the official 50th episode, don't worry - we will be doing a lovely series to commemorate what has now been a full year of The Top Five Podcast.  Which episode has been your favorite so far?  Which has upset you the most?  We want to know!  Email us today at hello@thetopfivepodcast.com.

Well, happy Late Hump Day - or it might even be Thursday by the time this gets posted.  Regardless - Annie and I had a very busy Memorial Day Weekend, cranking out shows for y'all and trying to get ahead of the game while she's in Europe with the fam. As for me - it's "Summertime" at the day job, so I'm doing as much as I can to catch up and put summer projects into motion.  I mean...nothing says "summer" like summer projects, summer movies...and Ensemble Casts.  Well, almost nothing. I really did love what Wikipedia had to say about Ensemble Casts: "In a dramatic production, an ensemble cast is one that comprises many principal actors and performers who are typically assigned roughly equal amounts of screen time. The term is also used interchangeably to refer to a production (typically film) with a large cast or a cast with several prominent performers. Ensemble casts in film were introduced as early as September 1916, with D. W. Griffith's silent epic film Intolerance, featuring four separate though parallel plots. The film follows the lives of several characters over hundreds of years, across different cultures and time periods. The unification of different plot lines and character arcs is a key characteristic of ensemble casting in film; whether it is a location, event, or an overarching theme that ties the film and characters together. Films that feature ensembles tend to emphasize the interconnectivity of the characters, even when the characters are strangers to one another.  The interconnectivity is often shown to the audience through examples of the "six degrees of separation" theory and allows them to navigate through plot lines using cognitive mapping. Examples of this method, where the six degrees of separation are evident in films with an ensemble cast, are in productions such as Love Actually, Crash, and Babel, which all have strong underlying themes interwoven within the plots that unify each film. Hollywood movies with ensemble casts tend to use numerous actors of high renown and/or prestige, instead of one or two "big stars" and a lesser-known supporting cast.[citation needed] Filmmakers known for their use of ensemble casts include Quentin Tarantino, Wes Anderson, and Paul Thomas Anderson among others." And so, with that bit of borrowing from Wikipedia, it looks like y'all WILL get this episode on Wednesday evening.  ENJOY!!!

Well, to quote Kenny Chesney: "Summertime is finally here!" I just returned from Kansas to see my sister's daughter Emily graduate from High School, which seemed like the absolute perfect time to hang out and record a show about Summer Songs.  So not necessarily songs with "summer" in the title, nor are they songs that are specifically "about summer."  But these are songs that both Annie and I turn to when we THINK about summer.  And not on accident, I'm sure, we have some overlap.  Come on, we're sisters.  We grew up with these tunes. I dare any of you to listen to our list and not find at least one tune that reminds you of summer.  And we'd love, as always, to introduce you to new songs as well.  So CLICK HERE to get the playlist on Apple Music - and there will be an Amazon Music version soon!!! Enjoy - and have a GREAT summer!

All right, don't sit there and act like it never happened to you!!!  You know that there has been something so incredibly funny that you laughed and laughed as you've never laughed before....yes, your stomach hurts, and yes, you might have had to cough and hack all night long...but you seriously did think you might pee in your pants, now, didn't you??? My sisters and I sure do love to laugh - Annie and I in particular because we have a very similar sense of humor.  Thankfully, we get to see each other enough doing these shows and having sisterly visits that there is often MUCH laughter in our space! Some of these clips and scenes you can easily find if you google "funniest movie scenes of all time," but others are just those that have come into our worlds in different times of our lives, and all of them are super funny, in our humble opinions. Keep in mind - that because we are talking about scenes that made us laugh like crazy, we actually DO laugh a lot during this episode!  Hopefully, that does not become distracting for y'all. Don't like our lists?  Tell us about it!  hello@thetopfivepodcast.com 

We knew you'd come back to find out what our top five television shows would be. It's truly a roller coaster of emotions finding out the shows each one of us picked. Number five on Kelly's list will absolutely shock you!

Thank you for listening to our heated debate about what makes a “favorite movie” a favorite movie. We chat about all the wonderful memories we have attached to various movies. Let me tell you this, you will be shocked with Harry's third favorite movie!

Hmm, I love cookies very much! It was hard to choose between all the cookies out there to make a top five list.  Anyway! I DID IT!!! And here are my choices!

This week we're returning to a Top Five List from the very beginning of this journey - and it kept getting pushed aside in the importance list, so it was great to get back to this early list and talk about our favorite Alien Horror Films! This show is a total anomaly in The Top Five Podcast - Kris and Annie and NO overlap!  Annie had movies on her list that I didn't have on mine AND that neither of us had seen.  I'm seeing a Kris and Annie Film Festival at our next in-person visit! It's crazy to think that this is Episode 42, and we're getting closer to Episode 50!!!  That means it's time for a celebration!  So send us your ideas for how to celebrate!!!  Send us an email at hello@thetopfivepodcast.com 

OH GOOD LORD!!!  What a week it has been!  My sweet dog passed away on Tuesday and then I got sicker than I don't know what.  So y'all are getting this final Bonus Oscar Episode a tad bit late and definitely after you already know who won what this year. The ceremony itself?  Jimmy Kimmel was, okay, I guess...and maybe the jokes were naughty enough, but I felt like he held his own.  The grouping of all the presenters was...strange, I guess?  Is there another word for it?  Idris Elba and Nicole Kidman....I mean, they're both hot, but then what??? My favorite win of the night actually was Sarah Polley, getting the Best Adapted Screenplay for WOMEN TALKING.  I still remember watching her "come of age" in the 90's in all those Atom Egoyan films and loved that she became a writer/director.  And all the horror movie fans out there were swooning to see Jamie Lee Curtis get her first Oscar. anyway - we loved doing these bonus shows for y'all and I hope you enjoyed them.  What should my co-hosts and I take on next?  We'd LOVE to hear your thoughts - hello@thetopfivepodcast.com 

Hey - it's Oscar Week!!!  (Yeah, we love the Oscars!!!) And Annie and I got together to record three special episodes this week!!  Although frankly, the Oscars are not what they used to be...but I think we always hold out for "this year's show will be better than last year's."  Sometimes it is, and sometimes it isn't.   We take on three lists this week for three super fun bonus episodes: Surprises and Snubs Oscar "Moments" Original Songs For Surprises and Snubs, Annie and I share our Top Five "favorite" situations where someone missed getting a nomination, has still never won after a bunch of nominations, a performance we weren't counting on, or a recipient we hadn't counted on.   So look forward to these three bonus episodes this week and let us know - did we get it right?  Which ones do you totally get and which do you totally hate?  Let us know!   hello@thetopfivepodcast.com

OH YEAH!!!!!  College Years!!!!  Whether you loved it or hated it yourself, there are certainly some dramatic and hilarious representations of college life in the cinema. Since 1925, college life has been a popular theme in cinema.  It's hard to believe that Harold Lloyd from "The Freshman" had some of the same experiences as some of the characters we are discussing in today's show, but you never know. Some of our favorites are entirely too real while others are entirely too ridiculous.  Still, Annie and Doug, and I had a blast discussing these and we sure hope you enjoy it, too! So we've covered football, sequels, toys, and vampires in the past few weeks.  Which of these have been your favorites?  And what other topics do you want to see us take on?  We've got a great list of new topics coming up in the next few weeks but naturally we would love to hear your thoughts!  Shoot us an email at hello@thetopfivepodcast.com Enjoy today's show!

The idea behind this show was somewhat inspired by that scene in WHEN HARRY MET SALLY when Harry calls Sally to tell her that CASABLANCA is on TV and they watch the last few minutes "together" while on the phone.  Harry's comment about the "best last line of a movie ever," inspired Annie and me to rally around our own favorite last lines of movies. And - as usual - they are not what you think they are going to be!  SPOILER ALERT - the last line of CASABLANCA didn't make either of our lists.   God bless Annie for reminding me about a couple of great Christian Slater films from the 90's that I really loved and really need to watch again...soon.   What topics do you want to see us cover in this show?  Email us at hello@thetopfivepodcast.com and let us know what sounds fun.   Fourth Wall Movies Ensemble Casts Character Actors Superhero Films Funniest Slow Motion Sequences Which of these do you want to see us take on?

Jeff, Dylan and Jen discuss their tried and true hunting and habitat improvements, as well as some of the major fails that clients make on their land, before Jeff, Dylan, Kevan and Joe make recommendations to fix.

Lucky Lucky Me!  I got to spend some of Super Bowl Sunday with my sister, Annie (who was cheering for Kansas City), and my East Coast Buddy Doug (who was cheering for Philly).  And while KC came out on top of the actual football game, I definitely think I was the big winner on Sunday as the three of us hung out to talk about our favorite Football Films and TV Shows.   This episode might surprise a few of you because some of the more traditional favorites in the world of football movies are not represented in our lists, but remember...this is a pop culture opinion show, and my co-hosts and I have ALOT of opinions! What topics do you want us to take on next?  We want to hear from you!! Hello@thetopfivepodcast.com 

TOYS!!!  Who doesn't love TOYS!!!  Especially Gen-Xers like me and my buddy Heather Zeitzwolfe, who is my co-host today as we talk about our Top Five Favorite Toys from the 1970s. Were you into Barbies?  What about Hot Wheels?  Or you might have enjoyed Lite Brite.  Regardless, we hope you enjoy our reminiscing about our own favorites back when most toys weren't necessarily plugged in and/or required a joystick, LOL. We'd love to hear more about your favorite Top Ten Categories - is there something we haven't taken on yet?  Or one of our lists that you liked or hated?  I promise you - we want to know!  Shoot us an email at hello@thetopfivepodcast.com 

We've been teasing this for weeks/months now, and are so excited that we are FINALLY chatting about our Top Five Favorite VAMPIRE MOVIES!!!! What exactly is the attraction to vampires, anyway?  Is it a sexual thing?  The premise of living forever?  The gore?  The answer to that is yes - it's all of it.  And there's so much urban legend and myth and made-up culture and rules about the whole vampire thing...well, what's not to love?   Our faves stem from the super duper oldies to classic American fare to foreign films.  Some of these films you've definitely heard of and some may be new to you.  Regardless, we had a lovely time discussing, as always, and we look forward to any and everything you have to say about our pics!!! Want to come guest-host an episode?  Love/hate one of our lists?  We super duper double dog dare you to send us an email and tell us all about it!!! hello@thetopfivepodcast.com
