Hey — grab some popcorn and come hang out with us for a chaotic Family Feud–style podcast where Joe hosts Rewind Gen-X podcast (Matt and Ali) vs Rusted Junk (Charlie and Dom). Expect buzzer fails, playful roasting, and pop-culture throwdowns from Star Wars to James Bond to Christmas movies. It’s low-key, messy, and totally fun — like gossiping with friends while shouting answers at the TV. Tune in and pick a side!

Spinal Tap is back for one last, barely‑functional blast of rock mayhem — and we’re diving straight into the glorious chaos of Spinal Tap II: The End Continues. The band reunites for a final, unwanted concert, the amps are still dangerously loud, and the drummers remain statistically unsafe. We also take a moment to mourn the loss of Rob Reiner, the legendary filmmaker who gave the world Marty DiBergi and shaped the original film’s genius. His absence hangs over this sequel, but his influence is everywhere. Expect nostalgia, nonsense, and a celebration of the loudest band that never quite got it together.

Two of us believe The Muppet Christmas Carol is the peak of festive cinema, a perfect blend of Michael Caine’s gravitas and Gonzo’s narration.

Is Michael Caine the greatest Scrooge of all time, or is our third mic just allergic to joy? We’re lighting the lamp (not the rat!) for a festive showdown.
