How Star Wars Is It?

Roll back those clocks Hsweeties! Fall back Listenerds! It's only one year 'til we can make the election joke about setting the clock back one hour and not a bunch of decades or whatever! And actually, hopefully you've already done all of those things because daylight saving (or savings) time was a couple of days ago ya goons! Get on it! Don't be like Mike and leave your car clock on the same time year-round and have to do the mental math every time you look at it! You'll learn this and other fun personal and daylight saving(s) related facts on today's episode. We've got wedding stories, time zone stories, we talk about National Treasure! And Mike ruins the game because he read the same Wikipedia article Josiah did. Oh well! It was bound to happen eventually.

It’s finally time for our Halloween episode! And before you get too excited, NO, not the movie Halloween! We’ve made it very clear that we are scaredy cats and weenies! Just the holiday Halloween! Just tricks and treats, nothing actually terrifying here! We get into Mike and Josiah’s experiences with Halloween (long story short, Mike has a lot and Josiah has none), talk a little bit about Star Wars, and Mike debuts another These Are Riddles inspired game which is, you guessed it, based on guessing the pun he’s thinking of!

Well Hsweeties and listenerds, we got too scared and we decided to kick it old school with some Scooby Doo! But we picked the wrong movie, because this one has actual monsters in it! Zoinks! But we also picked the RIGHT movie because it's the best movie we've rated so far. Scooby Doo on Zombie Island is the best movie ever made and no movie should be longer than its run time. And don't worry, we WILL review the sequel Scooby Doo! Return to Zombie Island next year on the same week. Josiah also debuts a new game called Six Degrees of Scooby Doo that is essentially a dressed-up version of These Are Riddles. So y'all have that to look forward to.

We hope all you Hsweeties weren't scared away by last week's first horror-themed episode, because this week we're talking about a REAL horror movie: the 1982 seminal classic John Carpenter's The Thing. And since your hosts are such weenies, we decided to bring in a scary movie pinch hitter for this week's episode! Chicago's own multi-hyphenate comedy man and Jackbox Games's own writer, C.J. Tuor! We discuss all things The Thing on this episode. Well, some things The Thing. But more importantly, in the spirit of The Thing and of the new Jackbox Party Pack 6, C.J. introduces a hidden identity hidden game that is sure to keep you listenerds on the edge of your seats. That is assuming you listen to your podcasts sitting down all the time. Along the way, Mike does his best to NOT use Star Wars terms and Josiah discovers he's maybe not as afraid of scary movies as he thought he was.  You can catch our pal C.J. performing in a bunch of different places in Chicago including the Annoyance Theatre and at Second Ci

Well Hsweeties and listenerds, fall is in the air. Feel that crisp chill in the air, get rid of those summer candles, and bust out your medium jacket. But wait...what's that?? Our idyllic fall day is being interrupted by...s-s-s-s-SCARY STUFF. That's right folks, get comfortable, because we're doing another theme month. But don't get TOO comfortable, because the theme this month is all spooky subjects, all the time. We're kicking this month off with the only scary movie that Mike and Josiah had both seen. Of course it had to be Cabin in the Woods. In what may be our most cohesive episode with the least tangents yet, we talk about everything from Wendy's to tripophobia to the Monster Mash to another sure to be classic installment of These Are Riddles, this time written by Mike himself.

Mike and Josiah came up with a very funny joke about the Green Day song Wake Me Up When September Ends and they decided to do a whole episode based on it. It's very cool and great and original and no one else has ever made the joke. Don't look it up. Anyway, September is ending, and we're here to wake up Billie Joe Armstrong by figuring out how Star Wars his dang upstart punk band is. We somehow talk more about the song Ocean Avenue by Yellowcard than any actual Green Day song in this episode, but hey, that's HSWII for you. Josiah also debuts a new game called These Are Riddles and it might be his worst yet.  If you have any comments or suggestions, you can email us at agoodpodcast@gmail.com.

Today is the autumnal equinox, and to celebrate the change of seasons, this week we're reviewing everyone's favorite seasonal beverage, pumpkin spice lattes! Part pumpkin, part spice, ALL latte, the PSL is a mainstay of fall all over the world. Well, maybe not the world, but definitely the U.S. Do they have PSLs in other countries? Do other countries like pumpkin flavored things as much as Americans do? These are the questions I am asking right now and that we do not cover on the podcast. But we do get into our coffee journeys, weird parts of the X-Men universe, and of course, Mike debuts a new trivia game that will surely have you listenerds yelling at your iPods and Zunes while you play along.  If you have any comments or suggestions, you can email us at agoodpodcast@gmail.com.

Well Hsweeties, Josiah is finally a real Star Wars fan now. He finally saw Solo: A Star Wars Story. And it was fine. That’s right, we’re back to Star Wars on today’s episode and it is CHOCK full of HSWII goodness. Join us for Mike’s first official on air apology and Josiah’s game So Low which was really just an excuse to talk about Warwick Davis for like 15 minutes.

Programming note! This episode was originally intended to come out the first week of September, but Josiah goofed it up and posted them out of order. Oh well! Welcome back Listenerds! We are finally making good on our promise, nay, our mission, nay OUR PURPOSE to review anything and everything, so we're taking a step away from traditional media and a step towards concepts. This week, we're determining how Star Wars is moving? Like, the idea of moving apartments or houses, etc. We also take a trip to the Wendy's corner and talk about all the new Star Wars news we got at that Disney expo thing, whatever it's called. I refuse to look it up. And we go through our top 3 most moving episodes from Star Wars. Get it? Moving??  If you have any comments or suggestions, you can email us at agoodpodcast@gmail.com.

Well, Shark Month is officially over and we're back to your regularly scheduled HSWII programming. Or at least, as regular as this show gets. We're looking at yet another Spielberg movie that pioneered new visual effects and launched a blockbuster franchise, Jurassic Park! This episode gets a little scattershot, which just means we cover a lot of ground! Mike debuts a new game, Dern, and we discover a new segment of the podcast called The Taylor Swift Pinecone sponsored by Rhymezone.com. And we will be reaching out to Rhymezone.com to see if we can actually get that sponsorship, don't worry. If you have any comments or suggestions, you can email us at agoodpodcast@gmail.com.

Well Hsweeties and Listenerds, we've come to the end of Shark Month, or Mark, as it were. We know, we know. We're as sad as you are. Which is to say, probably not that sad. But we had some fun along the way! We had some laughs! And there's more laughs and fun to be had!  We couldn't fit all the shark-related things in one month, so for this finale episode, we're doing some IISW (is it Star Wars?) assessments on 8 more shark things.  Stay tuned to the very end for a sure to be hit game, Marry Shark Marry, and enjoy Josiah getting progressively more upset at Mike for all the dumb shark movies he's now going to have to watch.   If you have any comments or suggestions, you can email us at agoodpodcast@gmail.com.

Welcome back Hsweeties and Listenerds! We are knee-deep in Shark Month, or Mark, as it were! (Apologies to all actual people named Mark.) We're reviewing the OG shark movie this week! Jaws! Which neither Mike nor Josiah had seen before they watched it for this episode. You might be asking yourself, did these boys live under a rock their whole lives? How have they not seen so many very important and good movies? And you'd be right in asking those questions! But maybe turn those questions back onto yourself for once. An unexamined life is not worth living, after all. We talk a lot about how good and weird a movie Jaws is in this episode, do a fan cast of a modern remake of Jaws, and Mike brings back an old game, Stranger Things, but in this case, it's called Stranger Things or Jaws, but don't worry, it's still a Star Wars trivia game.

Welcome to week two of Shark Month listenerds! Or as we call it here in the industry, Mark! We can't get enough sharks over here at A Good Podcast Studios. So of course we HAD to do the most important shark movie, arguably and regrettably, of the last decade: Sharknado! Mike and Josiah dig deep into the weird world of The Asylum film studio and emerge stinky and dirty from the filth of the masses. This episode is a little shorter than usual because we lost a bit of audio during recording, but don't worry, you just missed out on a typical blistering hot HSWII take and Josiah complaining about people on the Internet. So pretty par for the course. If you have any comments or suggestions, you can email us at agoodpodcast@gmail.com. Or hit us up on Instagram and Twitter @howstarwarsisit.

(Just a quick heads up, Josiah's audio sounds a little rough for the first 20 minutes of the episode because his computer was being a punk, so we had to use the backup Skype recording. Everything after that is the usual quality though!) Uh-oh, Hsweeties! The summer is coming to a close, and you know what that means! That's right, it's Shark Week! Or rather, it WAS Shark Week. Now it's Shark MONTH. We're kicking off a whole month of shark-themed episodes because it's our podcast, and we do whatever makes us laugh.  And speaking of stuff that makes us laugh, we have the amazing and hilarious Chicago actor, artist, and all-around awesome gal Caitlyn Cerza on the podcast today! Mike is also her boyfriend! Nice! Mike and Caitlyn are experts on the tv show that is the most quintessential of all shark media, Shark Tank. We also take a trip to the Wendy's Corner, the Alaska Corner, and even discover a new corner, the Musical Corner! Mike, of course, debuts a new game, and we talk a lot about the Backstreet Boys and D

(Hey Hsweeties?? It's me, Josiah. The Matrix is a good movie! It's a good dang movie! Dang! If only it wasn't illegal for me to have seen this movie when it came out! If only I wouldn't have gone to jail for seeing it before I was 17! I missed out on liking this movie for so many years! Ugh! Dang!) Mike is in The One: A Matrix Parody Musical in Chicago at The Den Theatre, and we've been hyping it up for weeks, so we're celebrating the opening of the show by finally reviewing The Matrix! Josiah had never seen it, and he watched it just for this episode! We talked a lot about how The Matrix is a cool and good movie. We dip into some metaphysics so, yeah, we like to party. And Mike finally put on his reporter hat and made his way into the field for some real hard hitting interviews with the cast of The One.

After an exhausting summer of blockbusters, we are finally returning to our core competency. That's right Hsweeties. We're back with a real, genuine Star War! This episode is a little longer than usual just because we had WAY too much fun talking about the wild and wacky weirdness that is Attack of the Clones. Mike hits us with some fun Star Wars facts and trivia, as always, (my personal favorite was the tidbit about a cameo by a certain ridiculously famous boy band) and Josiah debuts a fun twist on Who's That Quotemon? called Attack of the Whose That Clonemon? A little wordy? No! It's perfect! Back off! If you have any comments or suggestions, you can email us at agoodpodcast@gmail.com. Or hit us up on Instagram and Twitter @howstarwarsisit.

Well. We finally did it. We finally did the dang thing. We've been talking smack about the new "live action" Lion King for TOO long. It was finally time to put up or shut up. And when have you known us to ever shut up?? In this episode, Josiah debuts a sure to be fan favorite new game, Truth or Lion, and there are also some EXTREMELY hot takes in this episode, especially if you're a fan of the new Lion King, Beyonce, or Wolf Creek Lodge, so buyer beware. Also we recorded this before the new Lion King was released in theaters, and early reviews are proving our suspicions that the movie is bad to be correct. So take that all of our HATERS.

Just now when I was typing this I was like, wait, is Stranger Things a Shakespeare reference from Hamlet?? Turns out no, the quote is "There are more things in heaven and earth..." not stranger things, so we are good folks, we are good. I would have been very ashamed if I didn't realize the title of this show was a Shakespeare reference until JUST now. Anyway, this episode is about Stranger Things! What a fun show. We don't remember why we like it, but that seems to be a recurring theme with us. About half of this ep is the fun new game that Josiah invented, creatively titled Stranger Things. But it's a fun one, I promise! And don't worry folks, there's no spoilers in this episode. We recorded it before season 3 of Stranger Things dropped. So you are free to listen, unafraid of being spoiled! If you have any comments or suggestions, you can email us at agoodpodcast@gmail.com. Or hit us up on Instagram and Twitter @howstarwarsisit.

Gosh, this episode gets real cute Hsweeties. It just gets real cute. Apparently one of Mike's favorite movies is Toy Story! Isn't that cute?? He can like, quote the whole thing. And he pretty much does. There's a new Toy Story movie coming out, and we get pretty nostalgic about the original Toy Story this episode, and nostalgic about other things, including our childhood toys and using our imaginations! Mike also introduces a new game, but I don't remember if it had a name. I don't think it did. Let's name it right here. We can say something dumb and pretend Mike come up with it and make him look like a real ding dong. How about...No Doy, What's This Toy? Yeah, that's pretty dumb. Wow Mike, come up with better names for things, geez. If you have any comments or suggestions, you can email us at agoodpodcast@gmail.com. Or hit us up on Instagram and Twitter @howstarwarsisit.
