Crazy for Swayze

Jo and Kyle - two thirds of Forest Bakery - join the Swayze Boys on a trip across The Pond to shack up with The Bean Family and their inexplicable house keeper. This podcast is very mysterious. Deal with it. Forest Bakery: https://www.instagram.com/forestoakpark/?hl=en

Padawan Katie Foster joins Jedi Masters- The Swayze Boys - for the first Star Wars sequel (?) that ruined everyone's childhoods. Pod racing! Child slavery! Offensive accidents! Vince's George Lucas impression! This episode has it all.

Friend and Letterboxd afficianado, Ian Spratt, rejoins the Swayze Boys for the sequel that would kill itself if it could: ROBOCOP 2. This movie stars everyone's favorite Civil War-Era Piano-man as Robocop's greatest nemesis yet, rivaled only by a man cursed to be a child.

Korey Brisendine joins the Swayze Boys for a trip back in time and into "The Old West." Early on, Josh mistakes Wheel of Fortune for Jeopardy (or vice versa?) and never recovers. Then, Vince misplaces Clint Eastwood in spacetime. Korey does math! And that's before we even watch the movie!! I'll bet Bobby Zemeckis loves online sports betting.

Matrixologist, Alicia Massey, rejoins the Swayze Boys for a final dip into everyone's favorite Jesus allegory. Neo is back, y'all, and this time The Matrix is undoubtedly capitalism. Lana Wachowski sets the record straight on the original trilogy's legacy, and drives home the themes we should've been paying attention to the whole time. This time, Yaya's fits are the powerhouse of the film. Alicia's Pet Portraits IG: @aliciapaintspets

Let's cut the bullshit on the Swayze Boy's Irish (and, secretly, Brother) Month. Dan Stover and Brother/Irish Revolution Expert Justin Dolan Stover school us on a real Irish film and real Irish history. Guys, being Irish isn't a joke. Justin's book: https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/distributed/E/bo208661963.html Dan's albums: https://extraarms.bandcamp.com/album/radar https://punkertonrecords.com/collections/middle-out/products/middle-out-s-t-lp

The Weishaupts, Allison and Kyle (Boondock Saints experts) join the Swayze Boys for an exercise in drinking, smoking, and talking shit about Harvey Weinstein. Interventions and interjections abound! Wherein we debate ultimate evil, Kyle is wrong about Keanu Reeves, and, for some reason, Josh finds himself sympathetic to the plight of Mr. Troy Duffy. This episode is sponsored by our Lord and Savior, Tubi.

Jo and Mal, Ireland and Leprechaun experts, respectively, join the Swayze Boys on a magical adventure to the mystical land of Ireland. Randy Quaid (for some reason?) stars in this romantic drama alongside some period appropriate CGI and also Whoopi Goldberg playing A SHAPE-SHIFTING GOD-CROW (aka The Banshee). It's kind of indescribable, mostly thanks to the length of the media in question. This episode, as always, is sponsored by Tubi (they only have half of this "movie")

The Bolterstein Brothers, Danny and Mike, bring their brotherly expertise to the film we've all been waiting for: the Troy Duffy masterpiece known as The Boondock Saints. Danny flips his opinion on the movie before we even watch it thanks to the miracle of brotherhood. Mike casts Ru Paul as Willem Dafoe. Vince has questions about Lepre-commerce. Josh is accused of begin The Sicko. Troy Duffy: call us so we can talk the ethics of boob-touching.

What better way to round out Ghost Month than with a second rewatch of the Swayze classic? Immediately following their joint Valentine Date, the Swayze Boys and their beautiful partners jump on-mic to react to Ghost on the silver screen. Jo reveals a life-long night-terror. Josh misunderstands props. Vince refuses to understand ghosts or their physics. Mal offers a reasonable explanation. The magic of the cinema is real, y'all. And, as always: GET AWAY FROM US, CARL

Shane Stroud [aka The Haircut] and Andrew Snyder [aka Andy the Shirt] join the Swayze Boys [aka Vinnie Two-Toes and aka The Baby] to close out Ghost month. This shit is right up our respective alleys. Reject tradition and embrace the New Flesh. This episode is sponsored by Tubi (the ads aren't that bad!).

The Swayze Boys team up with Mr. Bathroom of The Future (and part-time Ghostbuster), Tim Allen, and cross the streams. Having closed the portal to Gozer's homeworld, they are free to talk shit about Troy Duffy, cigarettes vs vaping, and dabbing a sticky Slimer. This episode is sponsored by Tubi. Dan Akroyd: call us.

Kara and Zach from Oddity Shop bring their supernatural expertise to the the Swayze Table while we revisit another Swayze classic. Sam Wheat is a man made entirely of red flags, including his ripped but not-so-hunky sleazeball of a best friend. Tony Goldwyn sweats buckets while Demi Moore does very little except cry tears from each eye individually. Whoopie wins an Oscar. And Swayz does some over-the-top face acting in a movie that's thin on plot and messaging. Could've used a montage. Channing Tatum: call us.

Remake Expert Mike Smyth brings his appreciation for Japanese culture to the Swayze Table. Ultimately, we all enjoy this gender-swapped version of the Swayze classic. Get yourself a forehead kiss.

We close out The Renegades rewatch with fellow Swayze Superfan (and Equine Expert) Madison Vogler. The Renegades join a band and save their Cop Daddy from his arch-nemesis. For some reason, we recorded this episode before all the others, which will be immediately evident upon listening. Enjoy our final recording from the old studio! This episode is sponsored by The DVD Lady.

Vince isn't very good at math, but that doesn't matter on The Floor with Rob Lowe! This show is better than The Masked Singer (enemy of the show), but Josh invents one even better.

Danny Bolterstein rejoins the Swayze Boys for another episode of everyone's favorite Lowest-Rated Primetime Drama for the '82-'83 Season. Brion James is a robber who takes hostages, including a young Wizard. Swayze and The Renegades are mostly useless, as are the ads. This episode is sponsored by The DVD Lady, and, as always, Tubi. Also, Bigfeets!

New year, no gimmicks. We're doing it the old fashioned way with a throwback to an early Swayze role. In this made-for-TV movie, Swayze plays a straw-man hard-body, forcing a past-their-prime motorcycle club out of retirement. We learn that the olds have always hated the young, and Swayze teaches I Dream of Genie about The Implication.

Recurring guest Pickle Fritz joins The Renegades gang for ..... the best episode of the series? We compare types of copaganda and determine that some people are TOO DUMB to like The Wire. This episode is sponsored by The DVD Lady. AND THE THORNBIRDS!

Heather and Ryan Deliso join the Swayze Christmas Gang for a Seth MacFarlane-led trip to Christmas Past featuring Don Swayze himself. It turns out that SNL and everyone's favorite Family Guy have similar sensibilities. Vince gives Josh a new binder featuring a Patrick Swayze collage and also a Tammen x Swayze trading card. Here's to another Crazy Swayze year, y'all.
