Cinephiles Unite!
I absolutely adore the chemistry that these two have, and I’m so happy to have another show featuring Sarah Marshall.

Joyful and illuminating show, from the siblings who replaced us
It hit me when I was listening to the episode on the Big Chill and they were saying, these were our parents, and I thought, no these were *our* parents. Of course, they would not recognize what they represent to us— the Gen X kids from the Breakfast Club—they were the babies that our aunts had—the …

Pump Up The Volume
HA! — I was a junior at Saugus High School, in Santa Clarita, CA, when Pump Up The Volume was filmed.

I was reluctant to listen to this podcast thinking it was going to be a lot of man bashing or talking about how all dads are horrible.

I loved Sarah’s metaphor of the show as a growing plant that needed to be repotted into a bigger pot.
