Movie dance scenes can be integral to the plot, move the story forward and reveal so much about the film's characters.  On this episode, we take a humorous approach to some of these memorable moments.  Take it from three guys who have absolutely zero rhythm and coordination on the dance floor, you'll want to hear our takes and observations, in the same way you want to hear guys who've never played a down of pro football become NFL draft experts during this time of year.  Seriously, we had a great time talking about some iconic scenes, so step away from that punch bowl and get on the dance floor, you wallflowers; for this week, Formidable Opponents debates and discusses, "Best Movie Dance Scene."

On this episode, we delve deep into the musical labyrinth of Creed!  Join Formidable Opponents, as we soar with eagles, grow out our soul patches and wear our studded belts as we embark on a quest to answer questions like, "Was Creed given a fair shake?"  "Why did Scott Stapp tuck in his  Tony Romo jersey during a lip-synched performance at a Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving game?"  "Why in the hell were there Merman in the My Sacrifice video?"  From the theatrical, the pretentiousness and to the introspective depths of their catalog, no white undershirt will go unturned.  So grab your air guitar and let's over-pronounce some vowels together as Formidable Opponents debates and discusses, "Best Creed Song."

On this episode, we dive straight into the heart wrenching emotions and soul-stirring hits from our favorite "I Miss You" songs.  We'll dissect the lyrics, unravel the emotional undertones and discuss the musicians who have crafted those three words (not "I love you," THOSE are the words that should've been said before the songs we discuss on this episode were written).  Whether you're seeking solace in the lyrics, reminiscing about past connections, or you just want to listen to three heartless men do bad impressions of Tom Delonge,  this is the episode for you.  Join us as these week, Formidable Opponents debates and discusses "Best I Miss You Song."

Given the musicianship this episode discusses, apology songs are heartfelt, poignant, an expressive grasp for reconciliation, a remorseful regret, and a strong desire to right wrongs.  Given the individuals on this podcast discussing apology songs, there will be jokes, observations, and fun facts but also remorseful regret and a strong desire next episode to right wrongs.  Check out our latest episode, as Formidable Opponents debates and discusses "Best Apology Song."  We're sorry!

The 90s didn't invent the love song (neither did Elvis, knock it off) but what the era did create was a new sound and a new way to express emotions.  The artists of the decade created some of the all-time biggest ballads and for many of them, it catapulted them to a whole other level of success and exposure.    So, make that phone line dedication, enjoy that slow dance and go ahead and convulse in a fit of passion, totally acceptable (please, warn those around you ahead of time).  Yes, this week Formidable Opponents debates and discusses "Best 90s Love Song."  

As an added bonus, Super Bowl picks, TV show recommendations and we honor the late Carl Weathers.

On this episode of Formidable Opponents we take you back to a simpler time, a time where a show choir mega stars got together for a good cause,  a time when going out to eat at your local Pizza Hut was considered fine dining, a time where music told the the decade's story and those storytellers may have utilized an excessive amount of Aqua Net (pink).  Yes, we're revisiting the 80s this week and although we have a deep appreciation for synthesizers, bright colors and big hair, we do have a few things to say about some bands that we feel may have received more credit than they should have.  That's not to say we don't care for them; after all, the eclectic sounds and the variety of over-the-top (Not the Sylvester Stallone movie) expression is what made the 80s such an important time for music.  This week Formidable Opponents debates and discusses "Most Overrated 80s Band!"

We are back for 2024 and if you're a "Curb Your Enthusiasm" fan, you know our window to say "Happy New Year" is long gone (January 7th, for the uninitiated).  Speaking of great shows, and the endings of great shows, we're kicking off our first episode of the year by discussing and debating "Best TV Series Finale."  So many great memories as we get to talk about the classic series that we think stuck the landing.  Unfortunately, due to time constraints, there was no mention of WCW Nitro.

Although Christmas is a time of joy and celebration, that won't stop us about talking some of the terrible things about the holiday, namely, the bad movies.  Christmas movies have been a yearly staple for decades now.  Naturally, with the oversaturation of said movies, you're bound to come across a few stinkers.  Sure, we tend to forgive more during the holidays but in this episode of Formidable Opponents, we examine these movies and ask the most important of questions.  "Why?!"  This week we are joined by our friends Jenna and Danielle from The "Did Not Need to Know" podcast (much like Rudolph had a useful nose, they had high quality microphones), as we debate and discuss some of the Worst Christmas movies of all-time.

On this week's episode of Formidable Opponents, we're covering an era that elevated pop to a whole new level.  An era of excess.  MTV, arcades, roller skating rinks, bowling alleys, movie theaters and more featured the omni-present soundtrack of all our favorite pop hits of the era.  It's hard to believe how much time has passed since the end of a decade that continues to bring us so much pop culture nostalgia.  The 80s will always live on, bring us joy and remind us of a time of big styles, big hair and of course, big music.  So, welcome to our podcast, there's no turning back, don't moonwalk away, reach out to our collective pencil sketched hands and join us, as this week as Formidable Opponents debates and discusses, "Best 80s Pop Song."

On this episode, we celebrate one of our favorite legendary actors.  Nicolas Cage has entertained the masses for the better part of five decades.  We've watched him grow from moody punk teenager to a myriad of leading roles, sometimes subdued, other times intense but always entertaining.  The Cage-aissance is taking place and with the acclaimed, recently released "Dream Scenario"  generating some positive buzz around our hero, it is only fitting we take the time to honor and discuss some of our favorite Nicolas Cage memories.  He's survived bees, bounty hunters, a hijacked plane, and even John Travolta's chin and we're here for it!  This week Formidable Opponents debates and discusses "Best Nicolas Cage Movie."

We're back and we get to honor one of the greatest bands of all-time! A band whose music is so immersive and thought-provoking, a band whose music never fails to captivate.  That's right, on this episode we're talking "Best Pink Floyd Song."  Spanning generations, this iconic band has left a lasting impact on the music world and has provided the soundtrack to some of the best memories of our lives.   This week we talking about the musicianship, the meaning and the timelessness of the one and only Pink Floyd!

This week, we're trying a little something different.  To combat excessive episode delays, we'll be including some bite-sized bonus episodes.  These episodes will tackle everything from current events or quick hot takes we'd like to discuss.  The formats will vary and we're excited about continuing to churn out more content and discuss our takes on all things nostalgia and pop culture.

This week Randall flies solo as he remembers Matthew Perry.

It's Halloween season and that means two things, 1)Enjoying some great horror movies 2) Enjoying some bad horror movies.  What fun is the season if you can't laugh?  Campy Halloween villains have been a staple for decades, hitting their stride in the 80s and early 90s but for us, they will live on...or, die on forever.  We love the catch phrases, ridiculousness and the asinine as much as we love the blood, guts and gore.  Join us for a trip down memory lane as we hate on one of the things we love the most, as this week, Formidable Opponents discusses and debates, "Worst Horror Movie Villain."

There's nothing like combining two things we love talking about!    We're talking about the "fake artists" we wished that truly existed .  The songs that capture our favorite movie moments, characters and stories.   While we cannot promise absolutely no singing, we can promise some great nostalgia, debatable takes and lots of laughs.   On this episode of Formidable Opponents we talk about both movies and music as we debate and discuss,  "Best song by a Fictional Band."

This week Formidable Opponents puts on our best pair of sunglasses, picks up our cordless phones and we're all watching you.  Since we are, there's no better opportunity to join us and listen to a fun and interesting take on songs about obsession.  These hits sometimes hit the mark and quickly grew to be instant obsessive classics, others have just failed and  have been mired in cringe and unintentional comedy.  Check out Formidable Opponents this week as we debate and discuss, "Most Obsessive Song."  Also, don't hesitate to stalk our podcast social media pages, but at least leave a comment...unless your name is Sting.

Football makes for a great backdrop when it comes to movies.  The personalities, stories, relationships, collisions, the emotion, the excitement, what's not to like?!  From inspiring stories, to epic battles on the field, the movies we discuss in this episode capture the essence of the game.  Whether it's the underdog triumphing, the team coming together, or bad Texas accents, or finding out decades later you weren't adopted and only used to monetary gains by a family who provided a studio with an unfair portrayal of who you were, or.... *ahem.*  This episode is about much more than tackles and touchdowns.  This week Formidable Opponents debates and discusses, "Best Football Movie."

We're back talking 90s music videos with our friends Stephie and Lindi from "Turn of the Millennials" podcast.  For this episode, we're running back the 90s video music talk.  During one of our previous collaborations, we talked about "Worst 90s music videos" and we had another great time talking about one of our collective favorite past times as kids.  Our selections couldn't be more different and we promise no monkeys were harmed during this recording.  Also, we wrap up the episode by sharing our thoughts and memories of Paul Reubens and what Pee Wee Herman meant to us growing up.  So, check out our latest and check out our friends at "Turn of the Millennials."  Also, please note this episode has a slightly longer runtime than "November Rain."

This week on Formidable Opponents we examine one of our favorite past times. Sitting in a dark, air conditioned room and escaping the Summer heat while enjoying a great movie.  Not only a great movie, a great summer movie.  A movie where you can shut your brain down for a couple of hours and enjoy an action packed thrill ride.  The films we discuss are what summers were made for.  Classics that will live on forever!  We'll never get tired of these flicks as much as our listeners might get tired of our terrible celebrity impressions this episode.  So kick back and check out the films we selected as our best summer movie blockbusters!  All apologies to Sir Michael Caine on this episode.

The 90s music scene.  What an iconic era.  An era for new expressive sounds, lyrics and personalities.  An era that created an outlook for bigger, better, louder, angrier.  With that sound came a new voice, new problems, new feelings and we explored beneath the surface levels of whom we listened to.  Although plagued with loses of some of the biggest paragons who defined the time, the emotion and the rawness of many of the musical acts of that era have stood the test of time and continue to inspire generations to come.  This week on Formidable Opponents we discuss the frontmen that dominated the 90s landscape and cultivated the lifestyle and our memories of this important decade of music.

This week on a  Supersized episode of Formidable Opponents, we take on Fast Food.  With so many options and experiences, there is no doubt that many of our memories growing up are tied to these restaurants and food items.  They indeed share a special place in our hearts...at least that's what our physicians tell us during our EKG tests.  We cover everything from long forgotten food items, orders we regretted, and times shared with our family and friends.  Most of all, we share some pretty great laughs.  So join us, you may find a wayward onion ring in the basket of fries that is Formidable Opponents podcast.

For episode 90, we're taking it back to the 90s!  We've previously covered "Best 90s One-Hit Wonders" on a revisit, now we are taking on the worst.  The 90s were an eclectic time full of opportunity and joy in the music industry.  Those opportunities and that joy though short lived remains a part of our core memories and on every preset on every radio for anyone who is over 35 sending minivan owners singing along (windows up and quietly to themselves)  all over the world.  On the flip side of that, there are songs many of us would rather soon forget.  They are novelties or just terrible songs you've avoided for over the past 30 years.  Here on Formidable Opponents, we will never forget those 90s one-hit wonders good or terrible because without them weddings, grocery stores, and 10K run-walks just wouldn't be the same.  Admit it, these are some of those secretly shameful songs you still and will always love.  This week Formidable Opponents debates and discusses "Worst One-Hit Wonders."

For every Dark Knight, there is a Batman & Robin, for every Empire Strikes back, there is a Phantom Menace, for every Godfather II, there is a Godfather III. This week Formidable Opponents is talking about that perfect imbalance of bad sequels.   Those movies whose predecessors brought you back thirsty for more and left you completely disappointed.  Look, they can't all be House Party 2 but there's no doubt that when a hit movie rakes it in, studios keep drinking from that well until it runs dry.  Check out this episode and find out what each of us thinks is the Worse Movie Sequel of all time!

This week Formidable Opponents gives the people what they want (to tolerate).  That's right, splash on some of that Curve cologne and put on your best structure polo because we're talking sexy 90s music.  Music from an era, for a mood and yes, we each have our personal and hilarious interpretations of what that means.  After all, nothing is sexier than three middle-aged guys reminiscing about a simpler time where monk chants over a seductive beat and a plum colored suit is all you needed for a memorable night.  This week Formidable Opponents debates and discusses, "Sexiest 90s Song."

Great movie plot twists are like a rollercoaster ride.  They take you on a journey of emotions and keep you guessing until the very end.  The cleverest of twists will make you want to watch the movie again and again just to see how it all came together.  This week on Formidable Opponents we break down these twists, we also show our appreciation of Amanda Peet and perform three of the worst Mark Wahlberg impressions you’ve ever heard but that won’t stop us from talking about what we think makes for a great twist ending (or secretly playing “Good Vibrations” alone in the car and liking it).  Don't forget to check behind that shower curtain as this week Formidable Opponents discusses and debates “Best Movie Plot Twists.”

To be funny and meaningful is a trait of a truly unforgettable comedian.  Chris Farley was a comedic powerhouse that captured the laughs and the admiration of an entire generation.  25 plus years after his death, we still remember the times where he not only made us laugh but also inspired us with his humor and his genius.  Though we lost him way too soon and through tragic circumstances that we will discuss, we will talk about his legacy as a physical and energetic performer, as well as what his legacy meant to us personally.  This week Formidable Opponents calls a truce, (because brothers don’t shake hands, brothers gotta hug) as we share our most memorable Chris Farley moments.

80s Metal has a special place in our hearts, it gave us speed, thrash, pulse pounding music that defined a generation and continues to inspire generations after.  Sure, it gave us *ahem* hair metal and we are obligated to mention that's a point of discussion, too.  However, we are mainly touting the legacy of an underdog genre that was loud, in your face and continues to be both relevant and popular today.  80s metal has been featured on many of today's popular movie and TV shows and it's not difficult to understand why, for great music sets the tone and great metal will never go out of style; join us on this episode to find out why.  This week, Formidable Opponents debates and discusses "Best 80s Metal Song."

This week Formidable Opponents is talking songs in movies and there's nothing like a great soundtrack playing over some of the all-time most memorable scenes.  It's a natural combination that adds to the experience and gives us all that immersive feeling.  So, whether you're into those heel characters who violently torture their victims, deal drugs while badly singing along to 80s classics, or worst of all, laugh for no reason after a sexual encounter, this show is for!  Join us this week as Formidable Opponents discusses and debates, "Best Song in a Movie."

Hi, Everybody!  This week, Formidable Opponents takes you to the happiest place on Earth: Tijuana!...err. Springfield.  This week we are joined by our good friend Jiovanna Perez @jiowritesstories (who's the only person who calls us "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene"), as we discuss all things Simpsons .   On this episode, we are focusing on the secondary characters that brought Springfield to life but don't boo us (we'll assume you were saying Boo-urns), we talk about the entire  Simpsons family as well and what they've meant to us growing up.  As for who is the best, well, it should be obvious to even the most dim-witted individual who holds an advanced degree in hyperbolic topology.  Or, to find out, join us this week on Formidable Opponents, where the peanut bowl is freshened hourly.  We promise this won't be the worst...episode...ever

Our 2023 NCAA brackets are enough to make us drown our sorrows in alcohol but this week we celebrate!  We celebrate our return, our listeners and we celebrate the music that bonds us.  You can pretty much call anything a drinking song, and if you do, there is help.  However, there are a chosen few tunes that are your prime go to's.  Maybe they remind you of good times, maybe you're a glutton for punishment who wants to reopen an old wound, maybe you just want to sit back and take the moment in.  There are drinking songs for all those occasions and we're here this week to talk about them (and of course to remind you to please drink responsibly).  Join us this week as Formidable Opponents asks the hard pressing question, "Do you feel like we do?" As we discuss and debate, "Best Drinking Song."

As many of us know the only thing worse than an ending to something we love is a bad ending to something we love.  When a television series ends badly, we are left with questions, confusion and disappointment.  They aren't always reliable and consistent.  When those "jump the shark" or "slow burn" moments start happening, we usually prepare for the end and sometimes the final episode is a dimly lit match compared to the bright candle we held for the series.  This week Formidable Opponents promises you an episode that won't feature a blank screen and have you shouting at your family members about the cable being out, as we debate and discuss, "Worst TV Series Finale."

This week Formidable Opponents is elated, excited and pumped up to talk Emo music (odd, isn't it?)  Yes, we are standing outside your window holding up our radios as we tackle a music genre that takes us back.  Much how we associate party anthems with the great times we had in our youth, emo music played in an important role in how we dealt with growing pains, heartbreak and having to run laps in P.E.  We are joined by our good friend (and a guy who can apply eyeliner like no other) Jomichael on this trip down memory lane.  So join us and if you're hurt that we didn't mention your band, feel free to write a hit song about it....just don't delete us from your Myspace top 8.

This week Formidable Opponents is celebrating all things Super Bowl.  The memories, the games, the players, and the exorbitant amount of fanfare that surrounds "America's biggest holiday."  The Super Bowl has always been a time capsule of get togethers, fun, and food and we're covering all that and more!  It's an episode you wouldn't want to miss, even if you're Scott Norwood.  We talk about all the great moments that happen in between those sacred "white lines" (No 90s Dallas Cowboys jokes, please, we're above that).  So grab your favorite snack and don't call a slant at the goal line when you have three perfectly capable podcasters that can run the damn ball.  This week, Formidable Opponents talk Super Bowl!

This week Formidable Opponents continues our 90s themed episodes as we debate and discuss what we felt was the golden age of rap and hip hop.  An eclectic, energetic time where the genre not only seeped into the mainstream, it dominated it.  The songs, the artists and the stories painted a picture of a life many did not know, its storytellers becoming worldwide icons.  In the spirit of these songs that played during some of the most important moments of our lives, this week Formidable Opponents covers "Best 90s Rap/Hip Hop Song."

Call us The Joke Ridge Boys for this episode, as Formidable Opponents explore previously uncharted territories and we've gone country.  We explored the pop country explosion of the 90s replete with the artists, sounds and bulk striped shirts that made the era a memorable one.  If your show heifer won grand champion at the local livestock show, heck, even if it didn't, we invite you to tune in to this episode and take a look back at the decade that brought us Shania Twain (and those other guys with hats and mullets who sold a ridiculous amounts of records but mainly Shania Twain).

After a long break, we wish we could go back.  No, not to the holidays but back to a simpler time.  Yes, we are talking 90s music this episode.  What better way to jump into 2023 than to debate these golden classics (ouch) and have a few laughs while doing it?  So, whether you understood every lyric to Yellow Ledbetter (liar), or you like your music with a side of melancholy, or even smidge of hee-hawing, we promise you'll enjoy this episode of "Formidable Opponents."

 Acclaim though important when shared can be invaluable for some when the recognition rests solely on one individual's talent alone.  A star leaving a band to set out to make a name for him or herself is an all-too common tale.  Often times, the impetus of a band's demise occurs when hubris takes precedence (Or, believe in one's self and abilities, if you're into that kind of stuff).  This week on Formidable Opponents, we spend 78 minutes trying to name members of The Commodores outside of Lionel Ritchie without Googling.  Join us for a fun discussion as we talk and debate "Best Musical Artist That Went Solo."   Oh, and on a side note, if ever given a chance to go back and do a one line solo for "We Are The World," rest assured each one of us would drop the other two like a bad habit.

Thanksgiving is a time to share, reflect and gather.  If you grew up like us, it was also a time for unintentional family comedy and inexplicable Country Crock tubs full of stuffing.  This week on Formidable Opponents, we give thanks to the memories, the food, time spent family and for our main entrée we rank and debate best Thanksgiving sides.

The movies of Kevin Smith have had a huge impact on us spanning the past four decades.  Smith's intelligent philosophy, random musings, pop culture dialogue and quick  humor has been a huge inspiration for us and we now get to show our appreciation for someone who introduced us to Snowba...er, um, talents like Jason Lee and Jason Mewes (among countless others).  Kevin Smith grew up on the comedies and comedians we grew up with and loved, he understood his audience because he was (and still is) us.  This week Formidable Opponents discusses "Best Kevin Smith Scene."  Don't hesitate to listen to our previous 69 episodes...in a row.

Stone Temple Pilots is a band we've always been fascinated by.  Their consistency, catalog and talent help to carry the rock scene when grunge was fading out and rock was left trying to find an identity.  STP had their ups and downs as a band but they hold a special place in our hearts for the memories, albums and the great live shows we got to witness.  Join us this week as we peel back the layers on a group that was more than a grunge band, a criminally underrated collection of talented artists that we still love to listen to to this day.   STP belongs in Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame!  Listen to this week's episode of Formidable Opponents to find out why.

We all know that there are certain songs we can only tolerate for a season  (If you listen to Mariah's "All I Want for Christmas" outside it's requisite November-December confines, well, first of, why?  Secondly,  maybe don't).  Halloween is also a big music themed holiday.  We may not directly connect many of these tunes to Halloween but they've grown to perfectly match the spirit of the holiday.  Most deliberately, some inadvertently, which makes this such a fascinating music topic due to the listener's interpretation of what makes for a good Halloween song.   Here at Formidable Opponents, we wrap up our Halloween themed episodes by talking music, and horror.  Join us this week as we debate, "Best Halloween Song."

This week on Formidable Opponents we take a look back at some of our most cherished and fun Halloween memories (as well as a haunting figure in a cornfield that nearly beheaded Bob and Joseph).  Join us as this week we talk, candy, traditions, and our favorite memories of Halloween, as Formidable Opponents sets the mood for the best (or 2nd best, or 3rd best) time of the year (depending on whom you ask).

On part one of our two part series, "Top 10 Rock Bands," we had the opportunity to talk about what made us fans of the genre, all whilst touching upon our different tastes and musical preferences.  On this episode, you'll get the same insight, disagreement, comedy and debate as Formidable Opponents lists our top 5 rock bands of all-time, as compared to "Watch Mojo's" Top 10 Rock Bands list.   It wasn't easy to name who ultimately came out on top but we'd love to hear your opinions of our lists and hear you what you think about our selections!  If you haven't yet, check out part I.  So, join us as this week we answer the question of which bands made these ever-important (To us) top 5 lists.  Listen and find out!  Spoiler alert, "Goatwhore"  was not to be found on anyone's list.

The 90s dance craze bought us some of the most memorable music of the time.  Wedged between over-sized flannel and Raiders Starter  jackets, the spandex singlet wearing contingency of 90s lore emerged as a popular genre.  Although there weren't many who admitted to enjoying the pulse pounding bass, the operatic and over-the-top choruses replete with the obligatory inexplicable rap interlude, many of us actually enjoyed (maybe not publicly) this unique, often times lampooned genre.  What we can admit through it's campy cacophony is that we enjoyed every minute of reminiscing about it.  This week on Formidable Opponents, we discuss and debate "Best 90s Dance Song."

This week on Formidable Opponents nobody is going to "break-a" our strides, for we will build this thing together, standing strong together, nothing's gonna stop us now,  (not even an absent guest).  This week we're in a great mood as we debate, "Best Feel Good Song."  What's not to feel good about?  We're thankful for you the listener, the opportunity to joke about our opinions and most importantly, we're thankful for our sponsor Athletic Greens (link below).  We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we ALL enjoyed repeatedly listening to Cher this week.

This week on Formidable Opponents, we revisit the video game franchises that have given us and continue to give us some of our most memorable moments.  Like a proper sequel, we've learned a lot since our last foray into this topic.  We sound better, we know what we're doing (sorta) and we've introduced a new character.  Our buddy Danny G. joins us to share his insight and recollections of the franchises we've stayed loyal too and some that haven't stood the test of time.   This week, Formidable Opponents cover and debate, "Best Video Game Franchise."   Try not to blow on any cartridges.

On this episode of Formidable Opponents, we explore that next crucial step in an actors career.  No, we're not talking about winning the Academy Award.  We are talking about those actors that took a leap into faith and decided to pursue a side hustle as singers.  Look, they can't all be like Jack Wagner ("All I Need" was a criminally underrated attempt) but that doesn't stop movie stars from believing that they could do just about anything.   Flanked by yes-men, producers hungry to make a buck and their *ahem* physicians, anybody could have the backing and courage to cut a single.  This week we our joined by our buddy Manny as we dive into many of these long forgotten attempts.  Some of which we actually enjoyed!

Metallica is synonymous with many things.  Metal, success, screwing up our burned CD compilations after upending Napster (sometimes you just want to follow up “The Unforgiven” with “Purple Rain,” while you eat your feelings).  We’ll get into that but more importantly, we’re paying homage to a band that influenced our musical tastes, provided us with countless memories and paved the way for many bands to evolve, thrive and not be categorized by a genre or label.  Through their influence, their sound and their history, we will discuss the music and the stories of one of rock’s influential bands.  This week on Formidable Opponents we debate, “Best Metallica Song.”  Oooooooh, Yeah-heh!

Welcome to episode 58, THAT's 58, NOT 57 as wrongly mentioned in the intro (Give us a break, we're all still in vacation mode).  Once a year around this time we call truce and in that rare moment, we enjoy each other's company.  On this episode, we take a look back at the things that brought us together and extemporaneously share our thoughts and memories on random pop culture topics.  No notes (ok, some), no preparation (telling) and no debates.  It's the one episode a year where peace, love (and in this case grapes) take over and our quarrels are set aside.  We'll cover summer movies, food, post-SNL careers, fictional bands and TV shows of yore.  This week on Formidable Opponents, we're one again revisiting pop culture past on Nostalgia Round Table II (Electric Boogaloo)!

Summer, a time to relax, reflect and of course, there’s no better way to do that than sitting pool side, partaking in your refreshing beverage of choice and listening to your favorite Summer songs.  Here at Formidable Opponents, not only would we like to keep all of our collective 29 and a half fingers in tact post 4th of July, we also like to keep the Summer vibes going through the season.  Join us as this week we couldn’t argue three songs that are more different than our selections for this episode.  This week Formidable Opponents debate, “Best Summer Song.”

On this episode of Formidable Opponents, we discuss and debate a bygone era of rock that is often overlooked.  They say it takes time to appreciate what you once had and maybe enough time hasn't passed to appreciate the zeitgeist of the millennium's first wave of rock that maybe the public has yet to reflectively embrace but divorced dad's in Ultimate Fighting T-shirts and backwards caps everywhere have never forgotten.  This week we discuss the great era centric rock bands like the Deftones, as well as discuss some other not so great rock bands who were just Tone-deaf.     Hold on to your distressed jeans and cargo pants, and shut down that flip phone because this week Formidable Opponents (now available on Limewire) takes you back to a simpler time where this worst thing in the world was the CD "Burn error" message.  This week we are debating "Best 2000s Rock Song!"

We've managed, or at least have tried to describe "the era of excess" as best we could throughout our 80s focused episodes.  You would think by now, nothing could or would surprise us but the more topics we focus on during the epoch of New Coke and Styrofoam container "Keep the cool side cool, keep the hot side hot"  fast food meals keeps us learning new things about the "Me-First" Decade.  During the 80s, if you could combine that rock star appeal crossover with your movie, you had gold and of course nothing (outside of space aliens) attracted the masses more than those oh-so loveable movie cops.  They were everywhere and like the decade, they abided by the "Go Big or Go Home" motto.  Explosions, one-liners, dirty apartments, severed relationships, perhaps a dog and half a six pack and you were good to go.  On this episode of Formidable Opponents, we focus on the heyday of "the loose cannon," "the buddy cop," "the loner,"  "the cagey vet," the jester," and perhaps even a robot, or two.  This week Formidable Opponents argue "Best 80s Movie Cop"

There's nothing like a great breakup song to get you through the most difficult of times.  They bring us comfort, relief, or, if you're gluttons for punishment like us, they offer you a companion that not only allows you to absorb that heartbreak at a whole other level, but they can also speak for us.  Music is wonderful like that, you can't tell your story without a soundtrack and even the most emotionally impactful moments of your life are forever tied to songs that remind you of loves long (and thankfully) lost.  This week on Formidable Opponents, we're joined by our friends at Turn of The Millennials podcast to explore these sad (and in some cases vengeful) tunes.  On this episode,  we go beyond the matching sweater vests, black turtle necks and oversized flannel and debate our thoughts on what is The Best 90s Breakup song!

Opening movie scenes have taught us so much.  Be careful where you swim, burying a dead body can seem not so sinister, if accompanied by smooth narration and a classic crooner soundtrack and if you don't tip your servers before a bank heist, it may come back to haunt you.  A great opening movie scene can tell us everything we need to know about what we are about to embark on as moviegoers.  This week on Formidable Opponents, we look at the "tells," the action sequences, the dialogue and the excitement these opening minutes have provided us.  Although we won't debate what "Like a Virgin" is about, we will debate what is the all-time Best Movie Opening Scene; plus, we'll wrap up with our reviews on some popular Canadian snacks.   The perfect combination!

Garden Gnomes...bad idea for a Mother's Day gift, new episode of Formidable Opponents, a great idea for a Mother's Day gift!  We waited a whole year to honor the greatest TV Moms in history.  To the funny, charming, intelligent, beautiful women who have graced our tv screens and to the ones who have graced our lives, we say, thank you.  Moms, thank you for all the times you told us sports were just about having fun, for assuring us we weren't going to lose all of our hair like our fathers, for protecting us by letting us know all those girls who dumped us were ugly and low class; plus, all the other lies you told us to make us feel better.  Moms are the best and this week on Formidable Opponents, we honor Samuel L. Jackson as we debate Best MotherFu.....*ahem* we honor all of the mothers in our lives by debating "Best TV Mom."

This week on Formidable Opponents we revisit a simpler time, a time where if you were angry you could just dance or drive or gleefully money launder your troubles away.  A time where your problems could be solved in under four minutes, as long as they are accompanied by a synthesizer and intentionally dramatic lyrics.  Yes, this week we are putting one foot in front of the other, finding an abandoned warehouse, school library or beach volleyball court, for today we are shifting this podcast 27 times down a winding road and remembering a better time.  Throw on your favorite Hugo Boss polo (don’t forget the roll-up those sleeves) and join us this week as Formidable Opponents pushes it to the limit as we argue Best 80s Movie Montage!

What better way to celebrate a 50th episode than to celebrate arguable the best band that ever lived?  This week Formidable Opponents regale in the splendor that is the music of The Beatles.  We give our takes on some of the best all-time classics the band gave us with the style, charm and humor we've provided you on at least 13 or 14  of our previous 49 episodes.  Join us this week as we debate "Best Beatles Song."

This week Formidable Opponents kicks off the first in a two part series discussing the most influential band that ever lived.  We found that it was better to tear them down before we built them up (just to keep them humble, ya know).  As iconic as the Beatles were, it didn't give them immunity from releasing some truly awful songs, every once and a while.   With so many classic hits in their catalog, this was not seen as an easy task, but once we listened to a few stinkers, it left us wondering, was the love, spiritual discovery, playfulness and letting Ringo in front of a mic really worth it, Beatles?  This week we are arguing Worst Beatles Song.

It's not like us to say "Soory," but in this case, we'll make that exception.   We had to do it!  After many jokes about the band, we decided to do an episode focused purely on one of the most critically hated rock bands in history.  We here at Formidable Opponents took on the difficult task to defend the Nickelback songs that got a bad rap.  We are revisiting those singles and giving them their fair shake.  Do we like Nickelback any more than we did before?  No, but you can't deny their omnipresence at dive bars, tailgates and in vehicles with expired registration stickers (and perhaps an arrest warrant, or two).   This week join us and look at this photograph...err, listen to this podcast.

Hey, yo.  This week on Formidable Opponents, noted rock radio DJ, memorabilia collector,  co-host of Youtube's, "The Rock N Chaz" Show  and 3 times Kumite Tournament champion (non brick breaking division), Charlie  Corona joins us as we talk about movie posters, and their impact in encompassing the importance, message and feeling of a film.  On this episode, we discuss some classic poster artwork, get interrupted by Randall's daughter (he was told if it happens again, he may no longer use the thesaurus for his intros), as well as pay homage to the late Scott Hall.

With many giving praise to the new Batman film ("The Batman"),  Formidable Opponents has decided to take a look back at the history of Batman films -- more specifically, the stars who donned the cape, cowl and rubber nippled armor.    We have now witness different cinematic interpretations of this comic book legend spanning five consecutive decades.  Together we have rejoiced, celebrated and at times questioned and winced at the attempts of the iterations that noted filmmakers have gifted us throughout our lifetimes.   No matter which superhero is your favorite, you cannot deny the caped crusader has captivated moviegoers more than any other comic book icon.   This week, we ask George Clooney for our $4.59 back...ahem, we mean discuss who best portrayed Batman.  Forgive us for the growls.

Our favorite artists, they are just like us. They screw up.  No matter how talented and how big someone may be, no one is exempt from ever making a bad decision.  So, what happens when an established talent takes a classic and completely screws it up?  That's what we are here to discuss this week on Formidable Opponents.  You may not celebrate the fact that we brought these horrible renditions to your attention but we hope you get a laugh out of some of our insights and observations from the artists who attempted to pay tribute to their formative influences, only to completely fail (and perhaps they still make millions off those mistakes...OK, they are nothing like us).

We did it, we made it to one year, bypassing our collective predictions by several months.  Last year, we jumped on the pandemic podcast train sending out a beacon to those who longed for the days of spandex and subsequently flannel laden music videos, three camera sitcoms where every problem gets solved in 22 minutes (plus commercials), and movies where stout men with ponytails who would break your femur clean in half.   It's been a fun first year and here's to a few more months, nay, years of overachieving.  Thanks to each of you for listening.

This week Formidable Opponents takes it back to where it all began.  A revolutionary era where rock first took its shape.  We are talking about those sonic overtures our ears, minds and souls still benefit from today.  60s rock music was more than popular culture, it was civilization, it was the societal oxygen that inspired movements and shaped our viewpoints.  It gave us the voices and noise a generation not only thrived on but craved.  Join us as we discuss the music from an inspired era as this week we talk 60s Rock Songs!  (No acid was dropped or church organ sounding keyboards were tuned during the making of this episode).

This week, Formidable Opponents is taking you back to a simpler time, a time of peace and joy before the skip intro button was created and knocked humanity down a few pegs.  A time where no matter your background, the one thing that bonded is was the weekly rhythmic intro of our favorite television shows.  A time where you ran into the house fresh from your street football or four square game just to make it on time to watch Tony Macelli slide home during a way too important softball game, or watch Tony Soprano paying his toll, showing that tv housemaids and mobsters -- they are just like us!   Join us as this week three people who have never been in Cliff Clavin's kitchen discuss and debate their favorite TV Show Opening.

This week Formidable Opponents discusses the most satisfying, absurd, creative and most badass movie death scenes!   Forget about shedding tears on this one, we're looking at those moments of blood shed and chaos; those long forgotten, over the top movie murders that had us sitting at the edge of our seat.  So, don't be "dead tired," and be sure to give this episode a listen.  Our picks will definitely cause some chest bursting excitement, and you can take that to the bank...the blood bank.

Now that our break is over and we're forcefully responding to each others' texts again, it's good to know that heading into year two, we still have such a fun time and a passion for this. Quick disclaimer: We recorded this at noon on Sunday 1/16.  We usually record Sunday night but Joseph felt if the Dallas Cowboys lost their playoff game, he wouldn't be in the mood to record. Luckily, he prepared for the worst (we'll be sure to give him plenty of grief next episode).  So, as we kick off our first podcast of 2022, we decided to go with something new, and welcoming, something that starts this year off right.  There is nothing more satisfying than when that opening lyric starts up a song that immediately and forever connects you to the piece.  Join Formidable Opponents this week as we kick off 2022 and discuss, "Best Opening Song Lyric."

We talked Christmas movies and music, for this, our final episode of our Christmas trilogy and final episode of the year, Formidable Opponents will be discussing those SNL Holiday skits that gave us the biggest laughs. We not only revisit some classic comedy skits, we also revisit a couple of our earliest episodes, episodes 5 and 6 where we argued which were the best female and male SNL cast members.  We also give our non-expert advice on starting a podcast, as well as discuss what we will be planning for the new year.  We'll be back in a couple of weeks and to those who have listened, supported us and became our friends in 2021 (the year we launched), from the bottom of our hearts..."Thank you for this."

Christmas Music sets the mood, gets us in the holiday spirit,  and of course, nothing brings people together quite like complaining.  Christmas music isn't all bad but you have to admit, it can get a bit annoying, especially when you have 59 renditions of "Santa Baby" (all bad) and two of "Daddy, Don't Get Drunk This Christmas" (did we really need an updated version of this, Alan Jackson?)  This week, so you wouldn't have to, Formidable Opponents sifted through all the worst holiday music classics.  It's enough to have you shout at the top of your lungs "Well, tonight thank God it's them, instead of you!!!"

Please enjoy this early Christmas gift from us.  Bust out your Casio keyboards, for this week, Formidable Opponents debates the all-time worst Christmas songs!

It's Christmas time and who better than to dissect the Holiday movie classics than three guys who grew up spending their Christmases in an insanely warm climate.  What we lacked in cold weather, we made up for in refusing to go outside and hunkering down in front of our televisions to watch all the holiday classics.   Going outside and catching that brisk gust of wind after a shower could permanently contort our faces, it has to be in the high 60s out today! (So our grandmothers told us).   So, we played it safe and this week it all pays off!  We grew up binge watching Christmas movie classics, hoping we'd someday get to experience snow and when we finally did, we said... "Screw that, we're staying inside and watching movies!"  This week Formidable Opponents is talking about what we feel is The All-time Best Christmas Movie.

This week on Formidable Opponents, we debate which bands/artist should have had bigger careers by taking into account the following criteria.
 
1) Does your stomach churn when you're in the car with someone, turn up the volume to a song from an artist you love only to hear the person you're in the car with say, "Who in the hell is this?"   
2) Do you refuse to throw away that old, tattered "I saw this band live when they were cool" t-shirt (replete with nacho cheese stains)?
3) Do you openly and sadly ponder the meaning of life when you're in the produce section at your local grocery store and your tomato examination is interrupted by a once cool band gently playing over the supermarket speaker?

If you said yes to any one of these questions, this is the episode for you (hell, even if you said no)!   Yes, this week on Formidable Opponents, we're talking Bands/Artists That Should've Had Bigger Careers (don't judge).

Sad movie deaths give us the painful opportunity to remember the characters we loved.  They are meaningful, thought provoking and often times confusing.  They expose us to an experience that hurts us to go through, and even worse -- rewatch to relive.  Through these loses, we process grief to sometimes never fully understand why we grew so attached to these individuals.  Sometimes our heroes go out on their shield, sometimes they leave us after performing a redeeming action and most of the time they give us an association to something special we can never truly let go.  This week on Formidable Opponents,  we're talking heartbreak, sadness and loss.   HAPPY THANKSGIVING, EVERYBODY!!!!

This week on a very special episode of Formidable Opponents, Joseph is found unconscious in an abandoned refrigerator during a deadly game of hide and seek, Bob is under the influence of a sinister cult and Randall is busted trying sell a bootlegged recording of a Doobie Brothers concert (by the Doobies themselves!).

Actually, this is a very different,  "very special episode" (bike shop owners, you're off the hook...for now).  This week we are guests on "Turn of the Millennials Podcast."  Join us on this simulcast as we collectively discuss our "favourite" (they're Canadian) and most memorable movie soundtracks (mainly from the 90s but we spill onto several decades).  Bonus content of this episode can be exclusively found on "Turn of the Millennials" podcast.  Check them out!

This week we are joined by a special guest and friend to the show,  coffee roaster extraordinaire and fellow pop culture enthusiast Jomichael Vasquez (@theamericanbeaner on Instagram) as we debate what is the Best Guilty Pleasure Song.  We all have our favorites; our secret shames that we enjoy in the friendly confines of our car, alone, at a reasonable volume, or on our headphones away from anyone that would dare judge us enjoying a (questionable) masterpiece just because a few snobs don't generally hold it in high regard.  Free yourself of such asinine burdens on this week's episode of Formidable Opponents as we take a huge leap and tell the world what we think are the best guilty pleasure songs.  Let the healing begin as we confess what many people take to their graves.  This week we  we are now "Freebirds" (The shitty 1988 Will to Power cover version we secretly like, not the Lynyrd Skynyrd original).

This week on Formidable Opponents, we're talking Best Nostalgic Halloween Movie.  We're going back to the simpler times; you know, plastic rubber band masks replete with trash bag texture costumes,  orange, harmonica-shaped Wowee Whistles and of course, having to  check your Dubble Bubble for drugs and needles (only to find out that truthfully the worst part was losing the flavor after 25 seconds).   We're talking about our favorite movies we loved watching growing up during Halloween and how they just don't make them like they used to.  Werthers Original, anyone?

On this week's episode of Formidable Opponents, we're talking horror movies.  The classics that we were first introduced to as impressionable youngsters that perhaps can explain many of our fears, anxieties and compulsions, all influenced by the movies we're talking about on this episode and absolutely nothing to do with the generations and decision makers before us.  Sit back, keep your feet tucked firmly under the blankets, your baseball bat put away and keep your crucifix firmly in hand (and ONLY IN HAND), as this week Formidable Opponents felt compelled to take a stab at discussing and debating our selections for Best Horror Movie.

On this week's episode, Formidable Opponents takes on the rock era of excess.  The 80s, a decade where image was as important as the music.  Thanks to cable television, we were able to put names (and make-up) to faces.  Despite being deemed less critical than the decade before it and less socially impactful than the decade after, 80s rock music still provided a much needed outlet for bands that were searching for their identity in Rock.  Because of it's approach to the new, the different, the loud and at times, the absurd, everyone fit in.   Join us this week as we delve into what we feel is an underrated decade for rock in an era that was much more than Aqua Net, Spandex, Synthesizers and Power Ballads.  This week we argue Best 80s Rock Song.

There's nothing like a great sports movie!  The thrill of victory and the agony of a horrible performance.  This week Formidable Opponents discusses and debates what makes for a great fictional athlete.  Personality, perseverance, fortitude and humanity (of course, a little bit of the absurd helps).  Join us as we recognize these spirited performances and pick apart what could have been better, like the armchair quarterbacks we are.  This week, we argue "Best Movie Athlete."

On this week's episode of Formidable Opponents, we continue our series recognizing those artists who influenced and shaped our lives.  We'll tell you that not too many come bigger than this band.  Nirvana was a voice of a generation.  With their distorted guitar riffs, pulsating beats and punk aesthetic, Nirvana ushered in what was to become the popular Seattle "grunge" sound.  A sound that defined the early 90s music world and influenced everything rock, thereafter.  Though short-lived, the music from that era remains prominent, significant and timeless.  On this show, we not only discuss what we each think is the best Nirvana song; we also discuss the trials and tribulations of genius front man Kurt Cobain, Dave Grohl's phenomenal next act (which is another band we'll cover down the line) and of course, what could have been.  September marks the 30th anniversary of "Nevermind"  and 28th for "In Utero."  This week we celebrate the music from those albums and more as we dedicate this episode to one of our favorite artists Nirvana.

In this week's episode of "Formidable Opponents," we celebrate back to school and what better way to do that than recapping what we think are the best "Saved by The Bell" Episodes!  Despite the cartoonish and outlandish nature of the program (both the one you're about to listen to and the show we're recapping), "Saved by the Bell" will always have a special place in our minds and in our hearts.  Join us as this week we are recognizing the 32nd year anniversary of the show's debut.  So, put on your best pleated stone washed jeans, grab some chocolate covered grasshoppers and use that brick you call a mobile phone to call your friends and let them know how EXCITED you are about our latest episode about everyone's favorite school (where the Swiss steak makes everyone drool).

Today we take a step back a decade (Wait, 3 decades??? Really?!) to the 90s.  A simpler time where a pastiche of hits from any and all genres blitzed the air waves and the cacophony of eclectic beats cleansed our musical palates (So long as that damn CD didn't skip).  We are focusing on 90s One Hit Wonders and even though many of these songs have been relegated to bad karaoke performances and steering wheel tapping sing-alongs in our car...alone, volume turned way down at every stop light; we here at Formidable Opponents are proud of the bountiful hits the entire decade provided us.  We invite you to commemorate our 25th episode, as we revisit one of our favorite topics (we are going era specific on this one)!  Have a listen because "everything's gonna be all right."  If you wanna know the rest, no need to buy the rights, just download this fun and informative episode.

Never in the history of cinema has one man had to endure so much from so many.   Rocky Balboa is perhaps the most polarizing fictional athlete to ever have his story unfold in a series of movies (Rick "Wild Thing" Vaughn notwithstanding) and with that story came a cavalcade of antagonists, all gunning for a man who was much too kind and traumatized to ever get the TRUE win he so richly deserved.  We couldn't find shorts short enough to challenge each other to a beach race to settle the score (playful water splashing was to be expected,  post race), so we're settling our differences the old fashion way, we've dedicated an episode to debate who is the best "Rocky" opponent.  Because some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die.  We're not askin' for another chance.  We just wanna know whyyyy!

On this episode we pay homage to a band that has meant a lot to us and who has influenced generations of musicians.  Last week it was announced Dusty Hill of ZZ Top passed away, his talents and artistry will live on and inspire musicians of all backgrounds.  ZZ Top will also continue to bring together fans of rock, blues, and beyond.  ZZ Top is a band with an undeniable signature sound, known for their crafty lyrics, heart pounding live performances and of course beards.  Join us as we recognize and discuss one of the most important rock bands of all time, from their classic rock radio anthems of the 70s, to their transformative  sound and innovative music videos of the 80s.  This week we look back on that Little Ol' Band from Texas and what they have meant to the history of Rock and Blues music.

From the deranged minds that brought you "Best Sitcom Dad" comes a horror scarier than "Worst 80s music video."  Join Randall, Bob and Joseph as we ponder the question, "We know who these slasher movie villains are killing but what's killing these slasher movie villains?"  Lock your backdoor, check behind that shower curtain and if you dare, open those summer electricity bill e-mails because today we're talking horror as we that answer the question, Who is the Best Slasher Movie Villain?

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR, HUH?!  WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!
