1984: The Karate Kid / Top 5 TV

September 26, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 49.1 MB

The finale for 1984 is Pete's choice, The Karate Kid. This pop culture phenomenon is one our favorites and one of the most perfect movies ever made in our opinion. There is so much to say about class, bullying, self-control, and more, and we cover it all. Pat Morita was nominated for an Oscar, but how do we feel about Ralph Macchio and William Zabka? Or Elisabeth Shue? With all the sequels and reboots, this film started a pop culture sensation that has never left the consciousness.  And n...

1984: Ghostbusters / Top 5 Music

September 19, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 44.2 MB

There's something strange in your neighborhood. It's the PCY Ghostbusters episode. One of the biggest movies of 1984 was Giff's choice for this month. We break down the antics of Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Ernie Hudson, et al in this spooky show. Ghostbusters also had one of the signature songs of the 80's (apologies to Huey Lewis), so this is the time we share our favorite music of the year as well. Don't question who to call. Listen to PCY now! If you enjoy the show, please r...

1984: Sixteen Candles / Top 5 Movies

September 12, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 51.3 MB

Sixteen Candles was the first great John Hughes high school comedy, and it was also the first movie Brad fell in love with as a youngster, watching it over and over through the 80's.  So it was an obvious choice for 1984, but what do Pete and Giff think? Are they as amused as Brad? Do we all feel Molly Ringwald and Anthony Michael Hall are the perfect 80's teens? Do the aspects that don't hold up so well anymore ruin the movie now? There's a lot to unpack here. 1984 was a great year for mov...

1984: Media Path Interview / Memories of 1984

September 05, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 62.7 MB

We're opening the yearbook to 1984 this September. To help kick it off, we have a fantastic interview with Fritz Coleman and Louise Palanker from the Media Path Podcast. Learn about their show, but also enjoy their stories navigating stand up, show business, and the LA scene through the years. It was a delight for us to interview Fritz and Weezy. After the interview, check our memories as 8 year olds in 1984 as a preview of what's to come this month. It's going to be a great time! If you e...

2005: Arrested Development / Top 5 Annoying Sitcom Characters

August 29, 2022 05:00 - 58 minutes - 39.9 MB

Closing the yearbook on 2005 is a listener's choice pick: Arrested Development. This classic show went through so much just to stay on the air, and thankfully, we got three seasons and a revival years later. We talk about two season 2 episodes chosen by one of our BFF supporters. Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, Tony Hale, Portia DeRossi, David Cross, Michael Cera, Jeffrey Tambor, Jessica Walter, Henry Winkler, Mae Whitman, what a cast! It could be argued some of these characters aren't the bes...

2005: Mr. and Mrs. Smith / Top 5 Movies with Real-life Couples

August 22, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 45.2 MB

Giff's choice for 2005 is the outrageous action comedy Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Starring two of the most beautiful people in the world, this is the movie that announced their relationship. Filled with explosions, laughs, sex, and fun, there is much to say about this movie. Since Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were a real life couple either during or shortly after the filming of this movie, we decided to think of other movies starring real life couples and share our top five favorites. If you enjo...

2005: Walk the Line / Top 5 Johnny Cash Songs

August 15, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 45.8 MB

"Hello. I'm Johnny Cash." Pete's choice for 2005 is Walk the Line, the biopic starring Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon. We all grew up fans of The Man in Black, so this movie was a big deal for everyone at PCY. We loved breaking down this movie full of terrific performances and even better music. A fitting way to cap this episode off is by choosing our top five Johnny Cash songs. What's your favorite? Does it make it onto one of our lists? Listen and find out. If you enjoy the show,...

1987: Def Leppard - Hysteria

June 27, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 49.8 MB

"When you make love, do you look in your mirror?" It's an age-old question. But it's just one of the many topics addressed in Def Leppard's seminal album Hysteria. Giff couldn't get enough of this classic in 1987, and he still can't now. Does it hold up for Brad and Pete? What about the few songs that weren't hits? How does it compare to Pyromania? Turns out there is a lot to say still today. Not only do we answer those questions, but we even veer off at the end of the episode to finish our...

Great band, great album, great guest.  U2's The Joshua Tree is an iconic album and just so happens to be Brad's favorite album of all-time.  This record left an indelible mark on music  and catapulted U2 to worldwide fame. We break it down one song at a time for you. Joining us this week is Craig Arnold, who we consider somewhat of a music expert. A huge U2 fan, he also has a few years on us, so his perspective adds plenty of insight to the discussion. From other U2 albums to the 30th anniv...

More importantly, people were discovering it on Netflix and it was talked about everywhere. All three PCY hosts watched the entire series in 2020, some more than once. It was clearly a big show for us, and we try to focus our commentary by sticking (mostly) to the final 2-3 episodes. One thing we didn't spend as much time on in 2020 was music (aside fr...

How does a show focused on chess become a phenomenon? Both Dudley Dursley and Sam from Love, Actually as adults in one show? A new star in the making in Anya Taylor-Joy? Drugs...
