Most people revisit their youth by making a playlist. I wrote an entire book.

In this special bonus episode, I want to share the story behind "Nu Metal: Nu'er Emotions: A Loud Funny and Surprisingly Emotional History of Nu Metal." Hear why this music still matters, how nostalgia turned into a book, and why an era that gave us Korn, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Slipknot and screaming over turntables deserves another look.

If you ever burned a CD, defended Fred Durst in public, or found comfort in a song people dismissed as "just noise," this one is for you.

Come for the questionable musical decisions. Stay for the laughs, memories and heart behind the noise.

Grab your copy and turn it back up. - Randall

Sometimes we rank things like the greatest albums of all time, but today we rank the songs that would make us dramatically remove our jacket before getting immediately knocked out. That's right, we're discussing and debating the best songs to fight to! On this episode, we debate the loudest riffs, hardest beats, and most glorious and violent anthems in music history. Because every playlist deserves one track that make you feel like a hero...even if you're just heading into a meeting with HR.

Some movies stick the landing. Others drive straight off a cliff, explode, and somehow still roll credits.

This week, Formidable Opponents dives headfirst into the most baffling, rage-inducing, and unintentionally hilarious movies ever put on film. From endings that make absolutely no sense to finales that somehow manage to ruin two hours of perfectly good storytelling in under five minutes, nothing is safe!

Warning: Contains spoilers, cinematic slander and emotional damage for fans of certain "masterpieces."
