  • 18 - A Boy, an Alien…and Also a Cat
    2024/11/07

    Today we look to the stars, but not before we clean the lasagna out of the litter box. That’s right, we are covering two nostalgic throwbacks! One is widely considered a classic, and the other flies a little below the radar. See if you can guess which is which. But lucky for us, both feature some candy, candy, candy, candy.

    We’ll begin with a short, animated special that follows Garfield the cat on his very first trick-or-treating adventure. And he’s invited Odie, you and us along for the ride. After that animated appetizer, we revisit the Steven Spielberg + John Williams juggernaut, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. He may be ugly, but he’s endearing. Also kids in the 80’s were crazy. The era did bring us some iconic, cinema soundtracks, so we also have an audio quiz to get us in the mood.

    We also mentioned a few links on the episode that we’ll include below. And if you scroll down a little further you can vote on the Spotify poll to let us know what you think. Do either of these hold up?! If you have suggestions for future episodes, we’d love to hear them at ideas@WDYT.show⁠.

  • 17 - Chucky Is Your Friend 'Til the End
    2024/10/31

    Hidey-ho! It’s Halloween, and things are getting a little spooky around here. Jeff’s experience with this holiday—and with creepy movies—is pretty limited, so Josue thought this would be a good time to take a plunge into nostalgic horror with an iconic film from the 80’s. Child’s Play. Starring the one and only Chucky, ‘your friend to the end.’

    We kick things off with a little quiz where Jeff gets to flex his new found knowledge about our friend Charles. Let’s see how much there is to know about this doll that kicked off a long-running, freaky franchise that just keeps coming back like some sort of voodoo.

    Scroll down to the poll to let us know what you think of Child’s Play! While you’re there, drop a comment to let us know your best ever Halloween costume. If you have suggestions for future episodes, we’d love to hear them at ideas@WDYT.show⁠.

  • 16 - When We Say Addams You Say Family
    2024/10/24

    We are nearing the end of October, and that means the podcast is getting slightly creepier…but also ookier and kookier. And a bit sensual? We are revising another sequel that Jeff thinks will stand the test of time, but there is only one way to find out. Let’s talk about 1993’s Addams Family Values where humor takes a dark turn and romance blossoms in unexpected places. And, frankly, in weird ways. But first, a little quiz on TV show tunes. Play along and see if you can guess the answer before Josue does (or doesn’t).


    Remember to scroll down to the poll to let us know what you think of Addams Family Values! While you’re there, drop a comment to let us know who is your favorite member of the Addams Family. If you have suggestions for future episodes, we’d love to hear them at ideas@WDYT.show⁠.
