MEOW, listen up! We've got a great episode for you! 😉 This week we are hitting the open highway to discuss the 2002 cult classic, Super Troopers! The critics may have given it a brutal 36% on Rotten Tomatoes, but the fans pushed it to a massive 90% Audience Score!

We had a fun debate about the movie’s humor and rewatchability today. While Deric still loves the movie, Ryan feels it's not as good as he remembered from his youth. We dive into the iconic opening scene, the classic quotes ("Meow!"), and why Captain O’Hagan’s straight-laced delivery is the perfect comedic foil. We explore a fan theory connecting the restaurant in Waiting... to Super Troopers , and discuss a weird on-set detail about a fake tree.

Poof! As if by some sort of token magic, we're here! 😉 This week we are clocking in to discuss the 2005 workplace comedy, Waiting…! We explore how this film captures the "slice of life" experience of young adults figuring out their lives while toiling away in entry-level service jobs.

We dive into the movie's surprisingly low $3 million budget and its solid box office return, proving that a relatable story and a great ensemble cast (Ryan Reynolds, Justin Long, Anna Faris, and Dane Cook!) were a recipe for success. We also discuss why critics gave it a low 28% score, while the audience pushed it up to 75%—is it because the comedy hasn't aged well?

We revisit the humor of the mid-2000s, reflecting on jokes that hit differently today and moments that still make us laugh. We discuss why Ryan Reynolds's character, Monty, despite his flaws, would still be a fun person to hang out with, and why Anna Faris's character, Serena, is the smartest one in the room. Plus, we celebrate the epic monologue from Mitch when he finally lets loose on his coworkers!

Hello from the electric city of Scranton! 😉 This week, we are punching in to discuss The Office Season 1! After wrapping up our Best Buds Summer Rewind, we're diving into the show that took the world by storm – focusing on its humble, and sometimes awkward, beginnings.

We reminisce about first discovering the show (for Ryan, the "Healthcare" episode was his gateway!), and explore how Season 1, while a little "rough"(That’s what she said!), laid the groundwork for the beloved series. We dig into why Michael Scott seemed "insufferable" initially, and how a key change from executive producer Ricky Gervais (making Michael good at sales and more childlike) pivoted the character into the lovable boss we know. We even touch on Steve Carell's commitment to not watching the UK version to avoid influence!

Get ready for some laughs as we revisit:

• The cringe-worthy "Diversity Day" episode, the most skipped episode in syndication due to its racial insensitivity (but a vital part of the show's early identity!).

• Our favorite moments from Season 1, including Dwight's “medical diagnosis”, Michael's ridiculous "blue blast" sports drink, and that shocking "Filet-O-Fish" confession.

• The evolution of Dwight, Angela, and Creed's characters from their early iterations.

• Jim and Pam's early flirtations, and the surprisingly terrible way Roy proposed to Pam!

• The "Alliance" prank, Dwight stuck in a box, and Jim getting Dwight to dye his hair blonde.
