What weâre Enjoying
Jayâs love for comics has led him to a new Marvel series by Garth Ennis about a captured Nick Fury who has to be rescued by Lt. Frank Castle. A wild action, war comic that brings back the feel of the past with the nuances of modern storytelling. Shua listened to an audible exclusive audio drama by actress Felicia Day called Third Eye. Itâs her passion project about the magic world and how a âchosen oneâ didnât fulfill the prophecy of defeating evil, and is now living in shame. Comedy ensues with a star-studded cast.
Sci-Fi Saturdays
This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay got crazy with a wild Godzilla movie that celebrated the 5oth anniversary of the king of the monsters. Godzilla Final Wars (2004) shows the Earth valiantly fighting monsters everywhere, when aliens arrive too. Who, oh who, will save us? âŠ.oh yeah⊠Godzill. Check it out today! Make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com. Plus, you can tune in to SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua talk about great stuff in the MCU.
Enjoy Summer!
The season everyone anxiously waits for all year (until it gets here and they complain how hot it is) is finally here! Summer! As we grew up, we had all kinds of fun when school got out. Playing outside until the sun went down, then stalling until mom absolutely made us come in. Weâd create games, find ways to stay cool, hang with friends, and so much more. Can we get back to those days? Or are they just a memory? Come with us as we explore the summer!
What did you do during the summer? Do you have more adult ways to enjoy yourself now? First person that emails me with the subject line, âIâll take a creamsicleâ will get a special mention on the show. Let us know. Come talk to us in the Discord channel or send us an email to [email protected]

Shua couldnât contain his excitement for both IF and Unfrosted. IF is a very touching story about childhood and imaginary friends with tons of celebrity performances and a new, breakout star. Unfrosted was a hilarious interpretation of how Pop Tarts were created. Get out your toaster and Enjoy! Jay powered through another 5K on Memorial Day. Keep yourself fit and healthy and get out there and do something!
Sci-Fi Saturdays
This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay laid down the base coat with Primer. It is an artistic movie about time-travel that will blow your mind.

Make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com. Plus, you can tune in to SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua talk about great stuff in the MCU.
Enjoy Martians!
Martians have been a go-to character for a very long time. Even in early literature from the mid 17th century, we saw evidence of our alien neighbors. And when the movies came around, our brothers-from-another-mother-world made for some cool sci-fi stories. Jay and Shua have put together a list of Martians, and other aliens, with clues to their movie or TV show of choice. Join us as we try to guess which ones made the cut.
How did you do on the quiz? Which Martians did we miss? First person that emails me with the subject line, âMy other car is a Q-36 Explosive Space Modulatorâ will get a special mention on the show. Let us know. Come talk to us in the Discord channel or send us an email to [email protected]

Jay sat down for a long, sandy movie marathon by watching Dune parts 1 and 2. Both create a truly gorgeous epic. Denis Villeneuve has created an amazing piece of art that tells Frank Herbertâs story in his own way. Shua was pleasantly surprised that Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes told a story that paid a lot of tribute to all of the Apes movies that have come before it.

Come back in time with us and celebrate the movies that honor World War II. Dramas, comedies, and even sci-fi and horror, there is no end to the stories that can be told and lessons that can be learned from this historical, international conflict.
For more than 80 years Hollywood has been making movies to tell the dramatic stories of World War II. As impressionable youth, Jay and Shua ate them up and still do. Letâs look at some memorable ones.

Shua was pleasantly surprised to find that The Fall Guy is a well made, action extravaganza. Ryan Gosling continues his winning streak of fun movies and Emily Blunt shows yet another side of her talent. Shua recommends! Jay was on the edge of his Imperial-made seat while enjoying the series finale of The Bad Batch. Dave Filoni kept us guessing as to the fate of our heroes, and by the end Jay thought it was a satisfying conclusion.
Sci-Fi Saturdays
This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay is pulling all the strings of the live action version of Thunderbirds (2004) with Bill Paxton. It may have not achieved the success and popularity of the bizarre 1960s marionette TV show, but it was a campy homage with some action and interesting interpretations. Check it out today! Make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com. Plus, you can tune in to SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua talk about great stuff in the MCU.
Enjoy Movies!
There have been countless tales of World War II over the years. These stories recount bravery, determination, and heroism in a way unlike any other period of human history. Growing up, Jay and Shua gravitated towards a few classics such as The Great Escape, The Big Red One, and The Dirty Dozen. Plus, believe it or not, there can sometimes be humor in tragedy. Comedies like Steven Spielbergâs 1941, Mel Brooksâs To Be or Not to Be, and The Zucker Brothersâ Top Secret. There are always lessons to be learned and tragedy is often a great reminder to not repeat mistakes. So letâs all remember that, shall we?

Jay is digging the retro vibes and modern day storytelling of the Disney+ series X-Men â97. Lots of great moments from Marvelâs mutant family with all the nostalgia of the original series. Shua recommends Mel Brooksâs autobiography âAll About Meâ which was released in 2021. If you listen to the audiobook, you can enjoy Brooksâs still hysterical delivery of the story of his life and career.
Sci-Fi Saturdays
This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay revisits the 2004 Will Smith futuristic vision I, Robot. Based on a series of stories by Isaac Asimov, it tells the story of a murder committed by a robotic personal assistant in a future that seems a lot closer today than it did in â04. And it examines the ethical conundrums of the dangers of AI. Check it out today! Make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com. Plus, you can tune in to SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua talk about great stuff in the MCU.
Enjoy Star Wars!
We start off season 4 of Enjoy Stuff with a look at the adult side of Star Wars. Donât worry, the kids wonât need to leave the room. Now that the OG fans are AARP fans, how has the galaxy changed perspective? There are a ton of things that are aimed exclusively to adults from jewelry to gaming. Some of our childhood hobbies have expanded into complex (and often expensive) pastimes. We try to answer the question âwho is Star Wars really for?â and think we have a pretty good conclusion: Everybody, of course!
What kinds of adult Star Wars things do you do? Do you still gravitate towards the kids stuff?

Shua has been Enjoying the apocalypse. Well, kind of. Heâs enjoying the world of Fallout. The new series on Prime Video is based on the successful video games from Bethesda. Itâs a 1950âs style world and nuclear war has laid waste to the world. Itâs up to an out of place vault dweller, a surface misfit, and a ghoul to save everyone. Jay sat down and experienced Zack Snyderâs Grain Harvesters: Part TwoâThe Reaping on Netflix. Well, I guess most people would know it by the title Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver. The continuation of Snyderâs universe had a lot to get excited about. Action, special effects, deeper character development, and of course slow motion grain harvesting. Check it out and let us know what you think.
Sci-Fi Saturdays
This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay shuts off the lights and gets dark with The Chronicles of Riddick (2004) starring Vin Diesel. After a year of sci-fi that doesnât feel very sci-fi, this was a nice return to outer space and futuristic action. Diesel was passionate about making it and it shows. Check it out today! Make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com. Plus, you can tune in to SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua talk about great stuff in the MCU.

Enjoy the Future!
Can we predict the future? Sure! Are we going to be right? WellâŠprobably not. But we might get pretty close on a few things. Thatâs what the Usborne Book of the Future did back in 1979. It gave us a look at what they thought was going to be coming in the 21st century. You might be surprised to find out that they got a lot of things kind of right. From robots to cities to travel, we look at some of their more memorable predictions. Plus, Jay plays a game to see just what movies and TV shows predicted some things we have in our world today.

Shua decided to check out something that keeps popping up on the Disney+ banner called Renegade Nell. Itâs a period piece taking place in the 1700âs and it features Nell Jackson, who tries to do good by using some mysterious super powers. Jay found a different kind of team-up/crossover movie which may be considered a B movie (or maybe C-) Itâs called Monster Mash but itâs not about a dance or breakfast cereal. Just imagine if monsters teamed up to fight against Dr. Frankenstein. Itâs another example of crazy fun.
Sci-Fi Saturdays
This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay tries to remember an article that may have been erased from his memory. It was all about the 2004 movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. It seems like a great idea to erase bad memories from your mind, but it may cause more problems than itâs worth. This movie really makes you think about your life and your decisions. Check it out today! Make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com. Plus, you can tune in to SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua talk about great stuff in the MCU.
Enjoy Birthdays!
This week we throw all the darts at the idea board to celebrate fun stuff for Jayâs birthday.
We start off with a little game of David v. Keith x Keith v. David. And yes, itâs pretty much how it sounds.
Next we discuss Jayâs complicated relation with the Smurfs. Yes, those tiny little blue things with the white hats that are always having to escape Gargamel even though theyâre just trying to Smurf with their Smurfs so they can Smurf all the Smurfs on Smurf.
Do you know the difference between Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars? Weâre not sure we do either, but we try to break it down by looking back at our own toys.
Next we play a few rounds of Geek Out to challenge our knowledge of a variety of geeky topics.

Jayâs way IS the highway as he indulged in the rippling abs of Jake Gyllenhaal in Roadhouse. This is, of course, a remake of the 1989 Patrick Swayze classic. The modern day version has been updated, and is a bit more realistically violent, but also entertaining and action packed. Check out Roadhouse on Prime Video. Shua jumped hip-deep into the Kaiju footprint and experienced the latest Monsterverse movie where he discovered that Godzilla x Kong = Two Tons of Fun!
Sci-Fi Saturdays
This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay rediscovered another time travel movie with The Butterfly Effect. (2004) Ashton Kutcher plays Evan who has the ability to travel back to important times in his life and change things that happened. But he is surprised to learn how much even a little difference can change. Check it out on Retrozap.com. Make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com. Plus, you can tune in to SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua talk about great stuff in the MCU.
Enjoy Eclipses!
April 8, 2024 will mark the date of a total eclipse of the sun in the United States. Eclipses are fairly rare, but nothing really fantastical or magical about them, just scientific. But that doesnât mean you canât use it as a cool motivator in movies. We look back at movies where an eclipse played an important role.
The moon will be covering the sun today, but after itâs over youâll be able to enjoy other covers. Musicians often cover other artists' songs. And sometimes their version ends up being more popular than the original. We look at a few legendary ones.
But what could be more legendary than the best cover artist of them all; Weird Al Yankovic? Not all of Alâs songs are covers, but the parodies that are are excellent. Some are even better than the one they are parodying.
Are you in the path of totality? What are you covering today? First person that emails me with the subject line, âNever gonna give you upâ will get a special mention on the show. Let us know. Come talk to us in the Discord channel or send us an email to [email protected]

Shua jumped on the bandwagon (or the sandworm) and saw Dune Part 2. It was every bit the epic spectacle everyoneâs talking about. Action packed, entertaining, and visually stunning, he recommends it to anyone who loves seeing big-screen movies. Jay checked out another recent release, written by Diablo Cody and inspired by 80s movies. Lisa Frankenstein tells the story of a teen girl that raises a young, previously handsome corpse and romance ensues. Itâs a fun one that feels new and old, which of course gets a TechnoRetro recommendation.

Shua found a cool YouTube channel that spotlights innovative 3-D printing featuring some really cool inventions by a guy named Ivan Miranda. A guy with a fun personality and some really brilliant solutions to crazy ideas. Jay has been rewatching the Daredevil series and is remembering why he loved season 1 so much.
Sci-Fi Saturdays
This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay revisited the sequel to the wildly popular Matrix original, Matrix Reloaded (2003). Despite the now dated innovative special effects, it was a really beautiful movie to watch that expanded the Matrix universe in a very unique way. Make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com, now featuring Daredevil Season 1. Plus, you can tune in to SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua talk about great stuff in the MCU.

In 1984, Michael Douglas was getting into producing and had purchased a script from a waitress he met at Aliceâs Restaurant (no, Iâm serious!). He tried to get some very popular, handsome, macho actors to play the lead, opposite the up and coming Kathleen Turner. But ultimately he decided heâd just play the hero himself. With Robert Zemeckis at the directing helm, they set out to make a romantic adventure in the jungle. (But not really Columbia, because it was actually too dangerous) It became a gigantic hit that established Douglas as a strong leading man, put Turner on the road to a string of hits, and gave Zemeckis the ability to create Back to the Future.

Jay finally got his letter and is returning to Hogwarts. He has dove wand deep into a rewatch of the wizarding world of Harry Potter. So far itâs been magical. Shua turned on Pixarâs 2023 Elemental and then found a cool making-of video called Good Chemistry: The Story of Elemental, featuring the writer and director Peter Sohn. It had a lot of heart and gave some good insight of where the story idea came from.

Shua seems to think he has too much time on his hands because he decided to tackle the entire MCU in timeline order. Itâs a big commitment, but after the first couple handful of movies, he is still enjoying it! Jay jumped into a slightly smaller commitment by watching Kevin Costnerâs 1990 epic drama Dances With Wolves. Tune in to find out what Jayâs Sioux name is.
Sci-Fi Saturdays
The last couple weeks have given us two different movies youâll want to revisit on Sci-Fi Saturdays. S1m0ne has an interesting take on AI and how it could be used in Hollywood. But revisiting this 2002 movie in 2024 gives it a whole different meaning. Plus, Jay breaks down the final Star Trek: The Next Generation movie Star Trek: Nemesis. It may not have been the best Star Trek film, but there were some pretty fascinating performances in it. Make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com. Plus, you can tune in to SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua break down each episode of the entire MCU.
Enjoy Presidents!
As long as there have been movies, we have needed to have someone portray the United States Commander in Chief. A lot of times these leaders werenât the ones we know from history. Instead, the actor or actress portraying them gets to come up with their own persona. So which ones stood out? What were some of our favorite fictional presidents that gave a good speech, or showed good leadership, or even kicked some butt and saved the day?

Jay took Shuaâs advice that the new Peacock streaming series Ted was worth the watch. He agrees. It is a funny (and raunchy) story of a boy and his bear. But Seth Macfarlane has given it a heart that really makes you think and care. Shua made his way to the movie theater and saw Jeffrey Wrightâs newest film American Fiction. This story, about an author who is disgruntled about the stereotypes of blacks that are portrayed in modern literature.

Enjoy Comic Strips!
Peanuts, Calvin and Hobbes, GarfieldâŠthere are so many legendary comic strips that have appeared in the newspaper over the years. Originally intended to sell newspapers, their popularity soared and before too long there were dozens of artists making different varieties of comics. As they evolved we got comics that were silly, timely, political, and Pulitzer Prize winners.
Classic strips from the 50s, like Peanuts, Marmaduke, Dennis the Menace, and more are still published today, either in reruns (not Linusâs brother) or drawn by a new artist.
As the 60s and 70s brought change to the world, the comic pages started reflecting it as well. Timely topics were sometimes presented next to our Beetle Bailey. Pulitzer Prize winning Doonesbury by Gary Trudeau proved that the comics could be important. Spider-Man and Star Wars brought other formats of our entertainment to the comics pages.
And then we got a series of mega stars that blew up the popularity of that beloved illustrated section of the newspaper. Garfield, The Far Side, Bloom County, and Calvin and Hobbes became just a handful of reasons people would pick up the comics in the first place.
How well do you know your comics? Letâs play a game to see if you remember the punch line from the very first published strip from a few classics.
Now that newspapers are going the way of the Dodo, what does the future hold for our beloved strip format? Weâre not sure, but we will continue to start the day with a laugh.
Did you grow up reading comics? What were some of your favorites (or ones you avoided)? First person that emails me with the subject line, âLetâs go exploring!â will get a special mention on the show. Let us know. Come talk to us in the Discord channel or send us an email to [email protected]

Shua was extremely and pleasantly surprised how incredible the new Seth Macfarlane Ted series is. Crude humor to be sure, but a ton of heart embedded within so many laughs. You can see it on the Peacock network. Jay explored another historical site in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania called the Gettysburg Diorama Museum. Itâs a really cool recreation of the famous Civil War battle that gives you a very in-depth look at the soldiers who fought and died there.
Sci-Fi Saturdays
This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay knows what youâre going to do wrong before you do it because of his precogs. You can find them in the 2002 Steven Spielberg, Tom Cruise movie Minority Report.

For more than 50 years Kevin Kline has been making movies in a variety of genres. From his stage beginnings he gave us the Pirate King in Gilbert and Sullivanâs Pirates of Penzance and showed off his musical chops.
He moved on to some dramatic roles and often starred alongside some other big names like Glenn Close, Jeff Goldblum, and William Hurt in movies like The Big Chill. And a western called Silverado with Kevin Costner, Scott Glenn, Brian Dennehy, and more.
Thatâs where he met John Cleese and they connected to make the legendary comedy A Fish Called Wanda with Michael Palin and Jamie Lee Curtis. He took home a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for that.
Romantic comedies, dramas, family films, and even cartoon voice overs. Kevin Kline has something for everyone.

Aliens have been a part of movies since we shot ourselves to the moon in 1902. They are the perfect tool for an allegory about our society. Whether our visitors from another world are benevolent or hell-bent on world domination, it's irresistible to sit back and watch. Jovial Jay and Shua test their knowledge of those cinematic extraterrestrials on Enjoy Stuff!
Grab your tinfoil hats and welcome signs as we look back at the history of aliens in movies.

Ack ack ack! Which means âWe come in peace!â At least thatâs what I assume those little green men are saying. Over the years, nay decades, nay CENTURY we have enjoyed exploring the possibilities of what other lifeforms could be out âŠ.there!
And our imagination has covered the spectrum from friendly ETs who just want to share our Reeseâs Pieces to Martians that just want to use us as fertilizer (well, I hope you got your vaccinations creeps!) We look at some memorable alien stories throughout history and what has influenced (or been influenced by) them.
Next the boys play a game of GarbleBlitz: Alien Edition. Each give one word clues and the other has to guess the alien or movie they came from. Join us for some extraterrestrial fun and bring that disco organ so you can engage in some riveting musical conversations.
