Avsnitt

  • For our friends in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, 5 years have elapsed since Thanos snapped his fingers and instantly removed half the population in the galaxy. For Remember When, it's been over a year. Time travel is funny like that ;)

    Now that we're back from our extended stay on Titan, we've got some catching up to do... personally, and cinematically!

    We start the show with a spoiler-laden discussion on Avengers: Endgame. When we last left our Marvel heroes, they were scattered across the galaxy, like dust in the wind (too soon?). Endgame has the tough job of landing a story arc that has carried over 11 years and more than 20 movies. Did it succeed? What DIDN'T we like? Listen in and get settled, because we have thoughts.

    After that, we're gonna jump right into Spider-Man: Far From Home. Peter Parker's return from The Blip, and his extended stay on Titan, has some serious MCU repercussions.

    In the midst of this, we have some quick chats about Captain Marvel, Into The Spider-Verse (which, OMG, watch it on Netflix if you haven't yet!) and more.

    As the show closes, we also talk about The Matrix (two decades of Neo goodness!), the fade-out of the Netflix Marvel era, and more.

    Oh, and Jay's been a busy beaver in our show absence! Listen in at the end to hear what's in store for our next episode.

    We appreciate all our fans for your support, your words of encouragement, and your patience. Thanks for the emails, tweets, and Facebook comments you've left us in the past year!

    And if you haven't seen it yet, be sure and stop by our Facebook page for an idea of what lies ahead.

    Please note that we're no longer maintaining FilmTangent... it was a lot of upkeep for what amounted to being an extraneous channel.

  • 18 movies. Ten years.

    That's how long this has been building up.

    It would have been easy to chalk up the buzz behind Infinity War as marketing hype, rabid fanboy passion, or something else. And honestly, before the movie came out, no one would have blamed you.

    And then the credits rolled on Infinity War. And it turns out... no... it was all true. All of it. In some weird way, the movie manages to exceed the insane amounts of hype that led into it.

    And if you're like us, when those credits finished rolling... you walked out of the theater with your jaw hanging open, and some emotional scars.

    So let's heal together!

    After multiple viewings, Parris and Jay sit down to talk about the fallout from Infinity War... both in terms of the events of the movie, and how the movie has impacted us.

    We're going to go into detail on all the events of Infinity War, beginning to end. We talk about the things that were under-served, the characters we didn't deserve, and the path that's been laid out over the past 18 movies.

    We also have ideas on where the story will go next. The ending leaves one of the largest cliffhangers in cinematic history, but if you look at Infinity War, there are clues about the road ahead.

    This entire episode is dedicated to Avengers: Infinity War, and because there are SO MANY SPOILERS, we've elected to postpone our conversation around Fletch until Episode 74. And if you're one of the people that hasn't seen Infinity War yet, we strongly urge you to wait to listen to this episode until you've had a chance to watch the movie. Trust us, there's magic in not knowing.

    Our show continues to grow because of YOU, our listeners! We appreciate all the feedback we've had over the past two episodes. We hope that after you've had a chance to listen to this, you'll drop us a line and tell us you enjoyed it.

  • We thought we were prepared.

    After that hype-generating trailer back in November, we thought we were ready for what Infinity War had to offer. And then that second trailer hit last week...

    We're starting the show with BOTH of us needing an adult, and recap'ing the second trailer. Parris and Jay have theories.. who lives, who dies, and just who the heck Peter Dinklage is playing. (We're guessing it's not Thor)

    And on the flip side of the Marvel coin, there's the second season of Jessica Jones. Is it as bad as Iron Fist? No. But the show really does have some problems, and we've got to talk about that Villain problem that Marvel's running up against.

    Then it's trailer talk, and some TV catch-up! This Is Us and The Good Place are two fantastic shows you need to be watching if you aren't already.

    Lastly, we jump into Doctor Who, some listener Q&A... and Jay's got a question. And a confession. But we'll get to that.

    Thank you, as always to our listeners. We had some amazing feedback on the last show, and we hope you'll keep it coming. The positive words, the encouragement, and your support are the reasons we do this show

  • After a lengthy slumber that feels like something the Winter Soldier would have experienced, Remember When is back on the air. Grab a drink and get comfortable, because we have a LOT of ground to cover.

    To start our show, there's the Star Wars conversation. We're covering The Last Jedi with a ton of spoilers, and talking about the transitional elements of this movie, how the future of the Skywalker franchise looks, and what we think about this whole "Anthology" set of prequels. If Solo's teasers are any indication, the future isn't so bright for them.

    Then we jump into the latter half of Netflix's lineup of Marvel shows in 2017. After knockout hits in Luke Cage and Daredevil, we're faced with the Sophomore Slump of Iron Fist and the mediocre Defenders. We've got lots to say.

    And what about Spider-Man Homecoming? Is it one of the best things to come out of the Sony email hack, or is Michael Keaton still just Birdman? Do we finally have a definitive web slinger, and is Tom Holland the right guy?

    After that, we're hitting Thor Ragnarok and Guardians of the Galaxy 2. A quick taste change in Marvel movies following last year's Civil War

    But then we get to the juicy bits... Black Panther. This utterly stellar Marvel movie isn't just great superhero cinema... it's just a perfect movie on its own. We talk about its impact on the MCU, how it affects Parris, and what this movie means in our current social and political structures. Serious talk? You bet. But it's beautiful, just like the movie that inspires it.

    .... oh crap, DC did a bunch of stuff too. We should talk about that just for the sake of posterity, so join us near the end as we cover Justice League. Believe it or not, Jay liked it!

    The road ahead looks good too. Infinity War is just around the corner, Deadpool 2 is mere weeks afterwards.... the future is bright indeed.

    And speaking of the road ahead, be sure and join us for the final minutes of the podcast. We're talking about what's next for Remember When, and you might be surprised at some of the cool stuff we have in store for you.

    It's been a while. Life happened while we were gone. But we're back, and we're happy to be here. Thanks for having us on your podcast playlist.

  • OK you guys, listen.

    We normally start the show and tell you how and where to find us. Email addresses, phone numbers, Facebook pages, and so on.

    NONE OF THAT MATTERS. We're skipping the usual introductions and jumping right in this time, because holy cow... a lot has happened in the last few months!

    We start out talking about Rogue One. The latest in the Star Wars rebirth movies had some shaky production stories behind it. One of us hated it, and the other one loved it. Flawed? Yes. But we've got both sides of the Force with us here. And the high ground!

    After that, it's time to talk Justice League, Marvel, and what the rest of 2017 looks like.

    While we're on the subject of Marvel, we should probably mention that Jay has watched the entirety of Luke Cage! It's time for us to talk about the Marvel universe in Netflix. Thankfully, Parris has also watched Iron Fist and is happy to give us important words of caution. Words like "boring" and "yawn".

    Oh, and speaking of Netflix? Stranger Things. It happens here.

    And we even cover Three Amigos.

    It's like we have many pinatas. A PLETHORA of pinatas.

    We have a lot of ground to catch up on. Come join us for the ride. It's our first show of 2017. And on the plus side, at least our podcasts are more frequent than Sherlock seasons (and more enjoyable, based on the most recent season!)

  • Hello again! You've probably been wondering about us, and where we've been. It's a long story that involved job changes, geographical moves, and general life circumstances. But let's skip the details and get right into the goodness. Remember When is back on the air!

    We should warn you though... this may be the most Superhero-y episode we've ever done! The last few months seem like they've been filled with nothing but comic book movies and trailers.

    Our starting topic is Batman vs. Superman vs. Your Better Judgment. This trainwreck of DC's has a lot to be ashamed about and boy, do we talk about that shame. We also cover the follow-up, Suicide Squad, which.... well, we don't want to spoil EVERYTHING in the write-up.

    Then we jump into the Marvel Cinematic Universe and look back at Civil War. It's the Avengers 2 you deserved.

    And while we're on the topic of superheroes, Jay mentions that he's all caught up on the Marvel Netflix shows. And boy, does he have some words!

    In the middle of all this, we've got talk about the Rogue One trailers, the worries over Guardians 2 and Dr. Strange, the hope for DC's salvation, and what's coming up in the weeks ahead.

    That's right. Weeks. Not years. ;)

    Our show continues to exist because of your support. We say that every time, but it's true. In fact, it was feedback from fans that helped make this episode happen. So please, SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS! They really do mean the world to us :) You can you can find us on Facebook and Twitter at @rwpodcast, or email us at [email protected]

  • The wait is over, and it has finally arrived. Episode VII is now in theaters, and we're dusting off the microphones to give you an early Christmas present!

    Our entire episode show is nearly 90 minutes long, and it focuses exclusively on Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Be warned: This show is one of the most spoiler-filled romps you've ever experienced.

    With two separate screenings under each of our respective belts, we've each walked away with different perspectives. This show is a deep dive into EVERYTHING related to The Force Awakens... the strengths and weaknesses of the new characters, the problems inherent with bringing back an old cast, where the new movie falls flat, and what it gets right.

    It's a passionate discussion. The two of us end up on opposite sides of the Like/Dislike scale in quite a few areas, even in a few spots you might not expect.

    Get ready. Get comfortable. We're about to tell you everything we think and feel about the "revival" of the Star Wars franchise. And it's gonna be amazing.

    As always, we're grateful to our fans for your support and patience. We do this because of you! If you'd like to connect with us between shows, you can find us on Facebook and Twitter at @rwpodcast, or email us at [email protected]

  • "Chewie... we're home"

    And since we know your RSS feed has been feeling a little dusty, we don't waste a lot of time with the formalities in our latest episode of Remember When. We've barely said our hello's when we jump into the show content.

    Because BOY OH BOY, we have a lot of ground to cover!

    Age of Ultron is our first target. It's been hyped, marketed, teased, and long-sought-after. But after the extensive wait, this movie just can't meet expectations. We're prepared to tear it a new one. We spoil the heck out of this movie.

    Then there's the new season of Game of Snore... er, Game of Thrones. Jay came close to tapping out near the end, and Parris has some pointed thoughts on why this season feels so "off". And yeah, we tell you all the big story moments here, too.

    The fun isn't limited to those two items, either. At the end of the show, we're mixing in talk of the new Episode VII teaser, our Ant-Man anticipation (or rather, extreme lack thereof), Netflix's Daredevil show, the third season of Orange is the New Black, the final season of Mad Men, the premiere season of Better Call Saul...

    It's a show filled with five months of conversation, all wrapped up in an hour. And we jump around a lot with tons of spoilers, but rest assured, we cover a lot of ground.

    Fans of our original podcast, UncleGamer Radio.... you might want to pay close attention to those final few minutes of this episode.

    We love our fans. We appreciate you tremendously, even when you're sending us hundreds of email messages asking when the next episode is coming. We do this show because your passion matches ours. Please keep that feedback coming! You can talk to us between shows by emailing us at [email protected] or on our Facebook page at facebook.com/rwpodcast

  • Remember When has always been about the odd tangents, so for our first episode of 2015, we're taking on a new piece of media.

    Podcasts have been in a renewed spotlight over the past four months as a result of the success of Serial, a new show from the team behind This American Life. Serial is the documented review of the murder trial against Adnan Syed, accused of murdering his ex-girlfriend in 1999. This investigation is filled with drama, corruption, lies, suspicion, and so many incredible stories that it's hard to believe it's all true.

    But this 15 year old murder is not only a true story, but is reported on so fascinatingly and in such minute detail that we've been captivated by Sarah Koenig and the stories she has to share.

    Parris and Jay recap their learnings from the Serial podcast, who they think committed the murder, and talk about their stance on Adnan's claimed innocence. We're pretty sure the Mail Kimp girl did it.

    Not a fan of Serial? Don't worry, we're not going to leave out without a movie discussion. November and December had some HUGE trailer releases, and we're going to talk about them. We also give you some initial details on our FIRST REMEMBER WHEN MEETUP! Coming to Seattle in December 2015. Know any good movies coming out then?

    Remember When is a product of love, and we offer it as a free download to our listeners. Your enthusiasm and your feedback is one of the most important pieces of our show. If you haven't already, please like us on Facebook at facebook.com/rwpodcast or follow us on Twitter @rwpodcast. Or you can email us at [email protected]!

    Time stamps:

    0:00 to 1:01:48 - Serial discussion (spoiling every episode)

    1:01:48 to end - Trailer discussion (we spoil the trailers for Terminator Genisys, Jurassic World, Episode VII, Avengers 2, and Ant-Man)

  • Good podcasters always pay their debts. For Remember When, that means we're finally giving you what you've all been waiting for!

    We're heading to Westeros and taking a deep dive into Game of Thrones.

    After several years of Parris' urging to get on the bandwagon, Jay has finally (FINALLY) caught up on the show. He's so eager to talk about it that we barely have time to do a show intro! We just jump right in.

    We won't lie: It's an intense talk.

    It took Jay a few attempts to get into the show, and you probably won't be able to guess why. We rave about some of the best performances in the show, and it's not just dominated by Peter Dinklage. And we talk about THAT MOMENT in Season 3, when the wedding gets a little red.

    We don't just cover individual episodes either. We talk about our crazy theories on how the show will end, and what's in store for some of our favorite characters.

    And the epic conversations don't just stop at Dem Thrones! These past few weeks have given us a bevy of news from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We've seen some of the first meaty scenes from Age of Ultron, we've seen the full roster of movies that's coming for Phase 3.... and boy, are we giddy.

    Cap 3. Civil War. The Infinity War. It's just.... so beautiful. And we talk about them all, and how this giant story is about to get woven together.

    There's a lot of goodness in the show, if we say so ourselves!

    If you're enjoying our podcast, please send us a note and say Hi! We do this show out of passion for you, our listeners. You can email us at [email protected] or you can keep in touch with us between shows at http://facebook.com/rwpodcast or on Twitter @rwpodcast.

    Time Stamps:

    0:00 to 38:48 - Game of Thrones, all four seasons spoiled

    38:48 to end - Marvel Cinematic Universe, Phase 3, the Age of Ultron trailer, why DC must be crying in a corner, and the Great Geek Cinema Year That Will Be 2015.

  • Oh hai! We're back, and we have so much good stuff for you. Episode 64 starts off with a trip down memory lane as we journey through another Great Movie Jay Has Never Seen. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles may not be the hallmark moment in the careers of John Candy and Steve Martin, but it's certainly one of the movies that leaves a lasting impression!

    With fresh eyes, Jay talks about his journey through this unique road trip flick and how it gave him a new appreciation for some of the comedic elements of these two actors.

    After the appetizer, we deliver the main course of this episode... Guardians of the Galaxy! And almost a year after we started to see the first bits of this movie, we're happy to report that Guardians has (mostly) exceeded our expectations. We're giving you a lengthy look at Marvel's latest piece in Phase 2. It feels like Firefly! GROOT! Chris Pratt is unstoppable, and holy cow, that voice acting from Bradley Cooper. Also, GROOT! But it's not without its flaws, and we're happy to talk about those at length too. Jay talks about the biggest hiccup for him, and Parris forecasts the next 10 years of Marvel movies.

    But it doesn't end there! Now that Marvel is doing SO well, it brings a Stark light (see what we did there?) onto the DC Universe. With such a rich set of characters and fun stuff, how can they be failing so hard? We give some honest feedback on their underperformance at this year's Comic-Con and why DC needs to step up their game.

    And as our show ends, Jay delivers a proposition that leaves Parris stunned. It's the great Hulking of 2014. You won't want to miss this, because it's about to get ... chilly...

    Our show exists because of YOU, our listeners! Your positive comments, encouraging feedback, and multiple email messages asking if we're dead are what help keep the show going.

    19:28 to 29:23 - Our farewell to Robin Williams

    29:23 to 1:11:43 - Guardians of the Galaxy (spoilers on this, other recent Marvel movies, and mentions of DC Universe. Also, I am Groot). Various bits of minutia about TV shows, too!

    1:11:43 to end - The Great Hulking of 2014 (super mild spoilers, but they're from a few years ago)

  • We've unofficially dubbed May as "The Month of Marvel" and to celebrate, we have a brand new podcast. Don't call it a regular release, or you might jinx us!

    Parris and Jay spend a few minutes catching up. We talk about the recent Episode VII announcements, and Parris cycles back on the recently rebooted Robocop.

    Godzilla's recent arrival in theaters piqued Parris' curiousity and we talk about the latest take on a classic franchise. Thankfully, it's nowhere near as bad as the Matthew Broderick era.

    Then we hit the meat & potatoes of our show: The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and X-Men: Days of Future Past. After a release like Captain America: The Winter Solder, Sony and Fox have a lot of competition in the Marvel universe. And we're here to tell you why Spidey is already in need of another reboot, and why we liked Days of Future Past.

    But that's not all! Parris actually managed to watch the entirety of GI Joe: Retaliation. We can only assume that some kind of hypnosis was in effect because WOW... that movie is a train wreck. And speaking of train wrecks, Transformers 4 is looking like it's going to live up to the standards of Transformers 3! Which is to say, the trailers look terrible. I mean really, Optimus Prime riding Grimlock? Yeesh.

    Lastly, we wrap up with some talk on TV's worst year in a long time, and a look back at Mad Men.

    And if you're waiting for a return to "Great Movies Jay Has Never Seen", listen in at the end! We announce the movie selection for our next episode.

    Our show exists because of YOU, our listeners! Your positive comments, encouraging feedback, and multiple email messages asking if we're dead are what help keep the show going.

  • We interrupt the six month gap in our recording schedule to bring you this EMERGENCY podcast.

    We hadn't planned to record another episode this soon. But a funny thing happened... Captain America: The Winter Solder hit theaters last week.

    And when the movie finished, and the two of us walked out of the theater, we agreed... this couldn't wait. We HAD to talk about Captain America, right away. No delays.

    If The Winter Soldier has a single message to deliver to its viewers, it's that Marvel isn't playing around in Phase 2. They're here to deliver. And it's so serious, so wonderfully delivered, that the next hour of Remember When is exclusively dedicated to the epic proportions of The Winter Solider.

    We don't even tangent outside of the Marvel universe (much). And we spoil pretty much all of the Marvel movies to date. So if you haven't seen The Winter Soldier yet, do yourself a favor and leave this episode alone until you do. You'll be glad you waited.

  • The bi-annual release of Remember When is finally available!

    We don't waste any time getting started with this show, and jump right into the good stuff! Our Robocop discussion is ALMOST IMMEDIATELY shanghai'ed by a tangent into the first teaser for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie and our discussion on it.

    Then we jump back and look at House of Cards (with a TON of spoilers). How did the end of Season 2 fare, and what are our fears moving into a third season after this most recent story arc? We also play the "I need an adult" card as we chat about the intense, shocking events in Chapter 24.

    Jay surprises everyone with a chat about the first two seasons of Archer, and some Game of Thrones talk. YES WE TALK GAME OF THRONES (but not as deep as you might like)

    Then we talk about the Marvel multi-verse, and our thoughts on the upcoming launches of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, X-Men: Days of Future Past, and The Amazing Spider-Man 2, as well as conversations about the Guardians of the Galaxy trailer. With three separate studios vying for their own claim in the Marvel world, can reboots be far behind?

    Speaking of reboots, how about that news on the possible Matrix reboot? Is it time for us to look at that as a viable option?

    And Jay, bless his heart, confesses that Parris was right about one of the recent Great Movies Jay Has Never Seen.

    There are tangents, tangents galore here. How many tangents? There are so many that we can't even time stamp things. It's ridiculous. Bring a neck brace before listening to the show!

  • What a fitting moment for the Remember When podcast! We're celebrating the end of Breaking Bad by offering our first full-length show that we recorded face to face... just Parris, Jay, and a microphone. It's like you're a fly on the wall of our regular conversations!

    The entirety of episode 60 is devoted to the end of Breaking Bad. The final season was filled with ups and downs (mostly ups) and we're here to catalog them in full. We talk about the pinnacle moments in the final hours of Heisenberg and why Ozymandias is going to be looked back on as one of the greatest episodes ever created for TV. We also talk about why the last two episodes feel a little "off" compared to the rest of the season, and how the series finale wraps up so many of the dangling plot threads.

    Because there's just so much when it comes to the Breaking Bad finale, we spend our entire episode talking about the show. If you haven't caught up, go do it right now! Otherwise, we're going to spoil all the goodness for you.

    As always, thank you to our fans for your continued support of our show. Remember When exists because of all the wonderful feedback we get. Our fans’ passion drives us!

  • "Back so soon?", you ask? Indeed! Remember When is forgoing its usual three month waiting period between episodes with brand new content. As one of our Twitter friends put it: In Parris and Jay time, it's only been 1 week since the last show!

    And in the world of entertainment, a lot has changed in the last seven weeks! Netflix has gone from being the place where you watch reruns of Star Trek Voyager to a major powerhouse with Emmy nominations and some of the best shows on TV.

    We spend the early part of the episode loving on Orange is the New Black. This new show from the creator of Weeds is arguably one of the best shows you can watch right now, and is almost certain to be a frontrunner in the 2014 Emmy season. We talk about how we each independently watched the series, then almost immediately watched it a second time, because it's just SO good!

    Once that was done, Jay sat down with the first season of House of Cards to see what the Emmy voters got all worked up about this year, and Parris gets a well deserved "I told you so"

    AND OMG BREAKING BAD IS BACK! Walter White and Jesse Pinkman grace our TV screens once again, and we can't wait to talk about the powerhouse of a season opener. Remember to tread lightly here... tons of spoilers.

    We end the show with a look back at the disappointing movies that capped out our summer season, and a look forward at what's in store for 2014 and 2015.

  • And now the story of omnipotent aliens who lost everything, and the two podcast hosts who had no choice but to watch their respective movies and see if they could keep it together.

    We start off the show with a look back at Star Trek Into Darkness. While our anticipation for the movie ran high, the final product proved to have a few holes. Our spoiler-filled chat on the Final Frontier talks about the gross underutilization of Benedict Cumberbatch, the way they've mangled the story of some of the characters, where the story hit its all time high, and just a few of the ways the movie pays tribute to the original timeline.

    Then we jump in, feet first, to our Man of Steel discussion. Remember back in Episode 8 when we talked about what it would take for Superman to be relevant and interesting to current movie audiences? It seems like Zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan might have been listening in to our show that week, because Man of Steel feels like a line-by-line interpretation of so many of our ideas. We gush about the updated approach to the movie, lament the property losses, and talk about how much we love Man of Steel almost in spite of itself.

    Jay's been binge watching an old TV show, and we look back at the Bluth empire and its mighty fall.

    Then it's a quick sideways tangent into the current landscape of TV, with brief chats on Mad Men, Game of Thrones, Orphan Black, Breaking Bad, and the finale of The Office.

    There's lots of stuff in this episode, all crammed into a 75 minute window!

  • Look! Up in the Sky! It's a bird... it's a plane... IT BIRD PLANE! Meanwhile, back on the ground, a brand new episode of Remember When is available for your auditory enjoyment.

    Iron Man 3 hit theaters last week, and both of us have strong opinions on the first volley in Marvel's Phase 2 initiative. We converse about what it's like coming off of The Avengers and how Iron Man 3 fails in that regard, what the movie does to be better than its atrocious successor in the Iron Man series, and how Robert Downey Jr. might be getting too old for this s**t.

    Then we slide our way into talk about the most recent trailers for Star Trek Into Darkness and Man of Steel. The former is just hours from release and we can't wait to sink our fanboy teeth into this piece of cinematic goodness! The latter is looking more and more promising. And somehow, as we're talking, we manage to find ourselves talking about an alternate universe where the Beatles reunite and Superman III is never made.

    No, that's not a joke.

    Then it's on to the TV in our lives! Mad Men is letting us down, and Parks & Recreation is on FIRE this season. Parris encourages Jay to watch Archer, Parris talks about his change in viewing habits, and Jay encourages everyone to listen to The Americans... again.

    Timestamps:

    0:00 to 37:50 - Intro, Iron Man 3 talk (we basically wreck the movie in terms of spoilers, but also chat about other Marvel movies... hope you're up to date!)

    37:50 to 47:16 - Star Trek Into Darkness and Man of Steel chit-chat (no spoilers, just excitement), fan gushing over Star Wars 3-D, alternate universes galore

    47:16 to End - Archer (no spoilers), Mad Men (spoilers up to the most recent episode), Parks & Recreation (super mild conversation), talk about our next episode.

  • Pick yourselves up on the floor! Not only is Remember When back with a new episode, we're on schedule!

    Heads up, we're coming in HOT! Parris has just finished the first season of Sherlock after a year of pressure from Jay. And boy, do we have a lot to talk about! Parris recounts his experiences watching the first season and what he thinks about the show's brilliance. Jay chats about an alternate universe where Benedict Cumberbatch nearly became the Eleventh Doctor. And then, of course, we tangent off to talk about the news of David Tennant's return to the Who-niverse for the 50th Anniversary Special.... and we somehow, unexplainably, end up talking about Beverly Hills 90210 (the original) and Saved by the Bell. Go figure!

    Jay lets it slip that he's not a fan of Dinobots, which leads to a nostalgic trip down memory lane as we revisit our love of the original Transformers cartoon, the G.I. Joe movie, Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, and Voltron. Parris lets Jay know about the original edit of G.I. Joe where a beloved character nearly died, and Jay talks about his emotional stress from the original Transformers movie.

    We briefly chat about the starting episode for the latest season of Mad Men, and then tangent on how both of us are coming up to an impasse with The Walking Dead... at different points in the show. And naturally, this leads to catching up on where we're at with other shows, like Parks & Recreation, Modern Family, and Community. And then Jay talks about the first 15 minutes of Defiance, and how painful it looks.

    Whether you like new stuff or old memories, this episode has something for you!

  • Yes, it's been a while. But if it helps, WE MISSED YOU TOO! And that's why we're back with Episode 55 of Remember When. After a slight, minor, tiny delay due to Real Life, we've dusted off our microphones and come back for a fun and spirited conversation!

    We kick off the show with a chat about Super 8. This J.J. Abrams helmed adventure seeks to capture the spirit of Steven Spielberg and The Goonies by taking us back to the era of the late 70's ... but peters out near the end. We talk about the successes and failures of the movie, and sidetrack into whether or not J.J. Abrams is really as great as Hollywood seems to think he is.

    Then we sidestep our way into The Goonies, a timeless piece of 80's pop culture. A seminal work from our youth, this film ages like fine wine or good cheese. In fact, it's better to say it ages like Karen Allen (listen to the show... you'll get this joke later)

    And since we're on a J.J. Abrams themed show, we talk about the news of his helming Episode VII, and what we think this means for the future of the Star Wars franchise. Can our childhood memories be resurrected from the cruel, tortured world of the prequels? Will we be able to feel proud for this sci-fi epic once again? And how much lens flare can you fit into a single space epic?

    We look ahead at the summer movie season.. there's a LOT of stuff ahead (like Iron Man 3, Star Trek Into Darkness, and Man of Steel) and a lot of stuff that has us worried (like Man of Steel and Kick-Ass 2).

    And TV is in a WILD place right now! From the success of House of Cards to the general failure of pretty much every one of the major TV networks, it's like we're back in the wild wild west of content programming.

    As always, thank you to our fans for your patience and understanding as the duties of both of our Real Lives come up! We've missed you and thank you so much for your words of support these past few months. If you'd like to reach us, give us a ring at 714-758-5027 (you can call or text)!
