  • Men in Black (Rewatch)
    Jul 3 2026

    It’s time for another Summer Blockbuster Rewatch! George returns to the show as we revisit the 1997 sci-fi comedy classic Men in Black.

    Nearly 30 years later, does it still hold up? We discuss the unforgettable partnership of Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith, the groundbreaking visual effects, our favorite scenes, memorable quotes, and the deeper themes we appreciate now that we’re older. We also take a trip back to the summer of 1997 with a few retro commercials sprinkled throughout the episode.

    If you grew up quoting this movie or just want to revisit one of the biggest blockbusters of the ‘90s, this one’s for you.

  • Toys That Tried to Kill You! 2 (The Revenge)
    Jun 19 2026

    Some toys were fun. Some toys were memorable. And some toys seemed determined to send us to the emergency room.

    This week, we’re revisiting some of the most questionable toys from the ’80s, ‘90s, and early 2000s. From flying dolls and water-powered rockets to toys that got recalled almost as quickly as they hit store shelves, we’re looking back at the products that made parents nervous and kids line up anyway.

    In this episode:

    * Sky Dancers

    * Splash Off Water Rockets

    * Snacktime Cabbage Patch Kids

    * Heelys

    * Super Soaker CPS blasters

    * Why these toys are still remembered today
