• Step Brothers (2008) | Being Hit in the Head With a Drum Kit

  Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay come to the realization that they just became best friends while talking about 'Step Brothers.' Andy starts off the episode by detailing how his real life battle with a roommate over a drum kit lead to an unfortunate physical confrontation — very much like Dale and Brennan in the movie. Then the boys talk about one of the last great R-rated studio comedies that is anchored by Will Ferrel and John C. Reilly, but elevated by an incredible supporting cast including Adam Scott, Richard Jenkins, and Kathryn Hahn. Inspired by the opening of the flick, the guys get deep into the weeds and share their recipes for makeshift nachos that are just tossed in the microwave. Afterwards, Kathryn Hahn's uncomfortable forward facing bathroom sex scene leads Bombay to remember a unique position he pulled off with an ex. Of course there's discussion about bunk beds, and freeing up room to do so much activities. This episode will have you grooving and nodding your head as if you were listening to "Boats n' Hoes."

• Swingers (1996) | Getting Stabbed Over NHL '94

  DescriptionDegens Andy S and Brandon Bombay head to Vegas, baby, Vegas, to talk about the indie film that launched multiple careers, 'Swingers.' Andy starts off the pre-game with a story about the time he was trash talking while playing NHL '94 with friends, and the fights became too real. Then the fellas take out $300, but only intend to spend $100 of it, as they talk about a heartbreak movie that does the impossible by making Jon Favreau's whiny Mike actually likeable. He co-stars with Vince Vaughn who was basically playing himself, but with charisma turned up to 11, as his character Trent pulls off an equally impressive feat by snagging two waitresses at a casino. All of this leads to the guys sharing stories from their own bar hopping days, and fortuitous interactions with beautiful bunnies — and occasionally blowing it by not waiting the requisite two-plus days to call. This episode is money, and it doesn't even know it.

• Bloodsport (1988) | Hitting Up Hooker Bars in Hong Kong

  Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay are the American sh*theads who make chicks with bricks while talking about action classic, 'Bloodsport.' Bombay breaks records while kicking things off in record time with a story about when he visited Hong Kong and had a surreal experience at a hooker bar. Then the fellas show what the hell a dim mak is, as they fearlessly enter an underground tunnel before discussing the movie that turned Jean-Claude Van Damme into a star during the VHS era. The guys debate if young Frank Dux was mentally slow, or just a clueless sports fan who loves Giants, and Andy recalls a time he stole a katana sword of his own. There's also plenty of discussion about real life shyster Frank Dux who parlayed a whimsical tale about an illegal martial arts tournament — and a few purchased trophies as proof of his exploits — into Cannon releasing a film based on his story. Plus, why did the film fictional Dux stay up all night banging a girl he just met before the biggest fight of his life? All of this, and of course the boys have to talk about Paul Hertzog's dreamy score coupled with Stan Bush's power ballads. This episode was recorded to honor you, shidoshi.

• The Usual Suspects (1995) | Pooping Your Pants In a Police Lineup

  Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay hit listeners with a twist they won't see coming, because it kinda doesn't make sense, while talking about the crime caper classic 'The Usual Suspects.' Andy kicks it off by telling a story about when he wound up in police custody after attending a Grateful Dead show, and similar to Benecio del Toro's infamous fart, he couldn't hold it in while standing in a police lineup.Then the fellas discuss a movie that put handicapped people on film back at least 15 years, and debate whether this movie that is noted for its labyrinthine storytelling still holds up. It features an uneven cast, but there are undeniably great turns from the likes of Gabriel Byrne, character actor Pete Postelthwaite, and Kevin Spacey's duplicitous criminal mastermind. The true star of this however is actor Christopher McQuarrie, but the guys have trouble figuring out why Spacey's Verbal Kint needed to tell lies that were structured around the postings on a police bulletin board. Much like this '90s banger, you'll be talking about — and scratching your head — well after this episode ends.

• Major League (1989) | Heckling MLB Players To Pay Child Support

  Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay get comfortable in the nosebleeds while watching one of the quintessential degenerate sports movies, 'Major League.' Bombay leads off the lineup with a story about going to a Toronto Blue Jays game (drunk), and causing a scene with a giant stuffed bull as he hurled insults at players from the upper deck. Then the guys settle in as they discuss this Slobs vs. Snobs classic which brings back wild memories of acting like maniacs at ball games. The cast is filled with memorable societal rejects such as Charlie Sheen's felonious Ricky "Wild Thing" Vaughn, and Tom Berenger's philandering washed up pro. It even has a gruffed voice manager, and a JD-chugging announcer calling the games. Do your best Willie Mayes Hayes impression, and run don't walk to this unhinged episode. If you decide to not tune in then "up your butt, Jobu."
