Brunch

Peloton is getting roasted. Billie Eilish isn’t, but the make-believe people roasting her are. DJ sees “When Harry Met Sally.” The bad boys have differing views on “The Irishman,” while “Queen and Slim” is a heavy, painful masterpiece. 

Listeners shared their text messages about the show and DJ hated it. Mark McGrath is here to ruin your relationship for $100. An update on the Patreon holiday song. We see and review two movies that make it into our top five favorites of the year: 'The Peanut Butter Falcon' and 'Knives Out.'

Is saying something's "having a moment" having a moment?Grammy noms are out, which is great news if you're an old song. Most importantly, there's a new enjoyably bad holiday movie in town. 

It's Christmastime and people are losing their minds! DJ explains Chicken In A Biskit (it has a blue box). We run through our Top 10 Top 1 ABBA songs. A Patreon discussion. Is not liking the Foo Fighters a true badge of honor? And a new segment called "Is This Popular Song Actually Good?

Jeff comes through to talk childhood impressions of Rage Against the Machine, assessing the Red Hot Chili Peppers, imagining what Haim's version of Speakerboxxx/The Love Below would sound like and discussing best-movie-of-2019-so-far-candidate "Parasite." DJ saw "Countdown," leading to a heated discussion about whether there should be a limit to how scary PG-13 movies should be.

It's a very negative music episode as we shit on Taylor Swift's Tiny Desk concert, discuss Haim's hiatus (before their new single) and Kanye West's new album. Kyrie Irving and his unrelenting drama is discussed, plus possibly the best ad read in show history. Also, DJ recites the cast of 'Scream 2' and sings Creed.   www.patreon.com/listentobrunch

The bad boys cover the horror classics: The Exorcist, Halloween, Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Scream, that Boy Meets World episode, a Halloween episode of Everybody Loves Raymond and the Blair Witch episode of Dawson's Creek.

We missed a week and we're sorry, so here's a State of the Podcast. We review 'Joker' (for real this time, we swear) and 'El Camino' while brainstorming some new bits for the show. Pete is working on his tight five. Also, the playlist returns once again. Subscribe to to the Patreon: www.patreon.com/listentobrunch

The new Sturgill Simpson album is the music version of that movie "Mandy," Seinfeld2000 deserves a lifetime achievement award and HOO BOY is "Joker" something. 

Both Pete and DJ have new musical love interests. We figure out why baseball writers like Bruce Springsteen so much. The Father John Misty subreddit has fallen on bleak times. We review 'Between Two Ferns: The Movie' and 'Ad Astra.'

Brave Dave tore his ACL, Pete has strep throat and we're all gonna die. After some corporate blowback, the BBoP are careful to please. The ads are good and everything else is bad. 

Taking your calls on The Morning Buzz! A moment of silence for the late Paul Walker. Holy smokes, Lana del Rey really *is* having a moment! Plus, a review of 'It: Chapter 2' -- a five-hour saga that we still don't really understand.  

So we didn't see it, or Midsommar (Director's Cut), but Randy saw the latter and we watched the controversial Dave Chappelle special. We also made a Taylor Swift playlist.

The world-famous Taylor tiers get podcast-first treatment for "Lover." Answering some curious headlines. "Ready or Not" pops off. 

NPR Brunch presents: An essay you never fucking asked for.  Popeyes' new chicken sandwich is making people lose their mind, but is it THAT much better than every other chicken sandwich? It's a bad week to be a gas station. Plus, reviews for 'Good Boys' and 'Blinded By The Light.'   Episode brought to you by FEALS. 

"Where y'all sitting?" is a smash hit. An old guy sang too many smash hits at karaoke and wound up in the hospital. While you idiots are asking whether a hot dog is a sandwich, we're asking more important hot dog questions. "The Kitchen" is an astonishing failure. DJ sees a Fast and the Furious movie and loves it. Emilio sits on Pete's lap.

We mock the worst meme in the history of the internet, discuss the new Haim single and where it came from, plus reviews of 'Once Upon A Time In Hollywood' and 'Crawl.' 

A very specific solution to Taylor Swift's current dilemma. The "crying about Mr. Rogers" fad is getting out of control. "The Lion King" was indeed disappointing. 

In a shockingly on-topic episode, the boys discuss 'Midsommar' -- the latest horror movie from Ari Aster -- and that's about it. Also briefly discussed: Chest hair and 'Ready or Not.'

A special surprise guest from "Stranger Things" joins the show to (not) talk about Season 3 and how everyone looks gross. DJ & Pete both agree the season was outstanding but they find reasons to complain anyway. Also, a review of 'Spider-Man: Far From Home' (aka Spider-Man 3) and a "BRUNCH Explains the Movies" for 'Midsommar.'
