If you don't get baby fever from this episode you'd better check your pulse! This week Ty and Rach watch Three Men and a Baby. They delve into diapers, dresses, and drug deals?? Selleck, Danson, and Guttenberg chillin with a baby and figuring it out. Just bros being bros. Pretty much Ty's dream. Bonus material included in this episode: Star Trek, man shaming, turkey basters, and ghost stories. Goodnight sweethearts it's time to go (listen)! 

This one is so bad that maybe it's one of the greatest movies ever made? This week the Summers Off crew invites you to grab a Big Mac, sip some coca-cola, and enjoy all the product placement you can handle with...Mac and Me!

Is this Paul Rudd's favorite movie? Is this Rach's favorite movie? Would she be able to handle the most wicked dance sequence in film history? Put your hands together in a V, enjoy a little whistling, and let's go on the trip that is Mac and Me!

We get hit with a case of the whackies for our Halloween special, Ernest Scared Stupid.

We chat about the Ernest origins, talk trolls, and debate what age this Disney movie is intended for. Ty struggles with the impressions, there is plenty of singing, and we discover if this movie melted Rach's Ernest hating heart. Tune in to find out!

Every pubescent boy's favorite movie and poster in their college dormitory comes to life in this episode of Summers Off. 

Rach and Ty discuss what exactly Al Pacino snorted up his nose in all those scenes, how they avoided the dreaded X rating, how many F-words there are, and all the quotes that you can imagine. 

Plus hear Rach's attempt at some dialect work.  It's not pretty...

This deep dive of the blood splattering, gun smoking cinematic battle between man and other worldly beast will leave you with answers to the questions you never knew you had.  Discover just how much influence Arnold had on the film, how he survived the cold Mexican jungle nights, and what Rach thinks happened once the cameras turned off and the lights turned low.  Also, Rach answers the question you all want to know, who would she rather be caught making out with in her driveway at 4 AM by her grandparents: Arnold, Jesse Ventura, or the Predator.

Not familiar with the flick?  No problem.  I promise it will still be a good time!

What do educators do when they are required to take a summer vacation every year?  Most of them are productive.  This married couple watches movies.  Lots and lots of movies.  In this podcast, Ty and Rach make movie lists for each other and force the other to watch their films Clockwork Orange style.  From tear wrenching chick flicks to dripping testosterone blood baths, this is going to be an awesome summer...

That time has finally arrived! The season 7(!) finale of Summers Off. And what better way to say goodbye than by talking about some major nerdy stuff for a couple hours.

Rach can't carry the podcast, but she does carry Ty through this explosive finale with her amazing impressions of Gollum. We chat about the hippies who saved this franchise. What is Gollum juice? And how many times did Viggo get his ass kicked? And yes, Ty goes on a Ty-rade about Rings of Power.

It is explosive, it is heartwrenching, it is Summers Off's season finale. We can't wait to see you on our next adventure!

Come one come all! Okay maybe not ALL. This week's episode of Summers Off may prove to be one of the most risqué films we've done yet. We're talking about Paul Verhoeven's 1995 erotic drama, Showgirls (Rach's choice!). Loathed for its lewdness and beloved for its camp, Showgirls is a wild ride. You honestly just have to see it to believe it.

It's cookie time! It's cookie time! It's time for Troop Beverly Hills! Fresh off of their trip from LA, Ty and Rach share all the Do's and Don'ts for SoCal. Do go shopping on Rodeo Drive. Don't forget to check the weather before camping. Do get bottle service at a nightclub. Don't get stuck in traffic. Do check out this episode. Don't forget to rate and review!

I don't want one listen, I want all the listens! Bzzz! What's wrong with you?! We have some Chris Tucker magic this week with our episode on Fifth Element.

We get into the love stories taking place in front of the camera and behind, why Gary Oldman is ashamed of this one, and the soft jazz parties of Bruce Willis. And, we broach the question you've wanted answered for years. Is that Milla Jovovich's real hair? All this and more this week on Summers Off!

This may be our most niche watch yet. In order to prove it wasn't a fever dream, Rach shows Ty a Don Bluth classic from her youth, Rock-A-Doodle. Is it the parallel Elvis story or the earworm hits that make this so memorable? Is this tied to an ancient, medieval tale? Where did Rach's childhood fear of owls originate from? And what is that cat saying??! All of this and more will be answered in this week's rockin adventure. 

It's time for the magical adventures of a bunch of 80s kids and their recreational drugs. We depart this world for that of Fantastica with The NeverEnding Story. Yes, that is the capitalization...

This episode has it all. Rach mistaking the identities of our two boy leads and spending half the episode thinking they are the same person. We hear dog-dragon Falkor impressions. Rach does her best voiceover character work. And we cry, hard, for Artax.

This week Ty and Rach delve into the female psyche with Rach's pick Girl, Interrupted. Were you even a 90s actress if you weren't in this movie? Is anyone in this film certifiably crazy? If Angelina Jolie is a volcano and Winona Ryder is an orchid, then what does that make Whoopi? And who doesn't love rotisserie chicken? As always, nothing but the hard hitting questions will be asked in this episode. 

There's a time to live and there's A Time to Kill! We take the ultimate summer party out of the backyard and into the sweaty courtroom with Matty McConaughey's big break.

We give you the skinny on all those Grisham MURDER books you love so much, the real life inspirations for this tale, and the 14 month search for a lead. Rach also tries to convince listeners she knows more about law than Grisham and offers some terrific legal advice.

"You have bewitched me body and soul, and I LOVE YOU!"

Listeners prepare yourselves to swoon with this week's episode, Pride and Prejudice (2005). Don't worry, we'll also pay homage to the 90s Colin Firth version, but come on, Keira's is a feast for the eyes. Did you know there were two endings? And that your time zone determined which one you saw?! You don't have to be a member of the Jane Austen Society to appreciate Macfadyen's slow stomp across the misty moors. Cue: Buckled knees.

Sugar, butter! We've got a tasty treat for you this week with Rach's pick, Waitress. Ty can sing all of the songs from the hit musical by Sara Bareilles, but he can't pick Keri Russell out of a lineup. To be fair, Ty also didn't know that the Gilmore Girls were a mother/daughter duo. We dygress. What he lacks in CW show knowledge, he makes up for in the kitchen. Join us this week as Ty takes us through his other passion, baking! It only takes a taste! 

The audio fireworks have arrived! Welcome to our first 4th of July release with...Independence Day!

We recorded this in conjunction with our bud Andy Heller's Fat Dude Digs Flicks podcast which was a blast of a time. Listen to both pods wherever you get your listens from. And check out both Independence Day episodes for all the alien punching, White House exploding action you crave on a day like today.

In this episode we ponder if this is a Shakespearean masterpiece, is Rach's love for this gem bordering on obsession, where did these alien designs come from, and make lots of firework noises with our mouths. Guaranteed to be a good time.

Season 7 premiere! Who thought we would still be doing this for the 7th summer?! Well, here we are with brand new microphones and just in time to get real nerdy.

Ty takes Rach into the history of the godfather of fantasy. How the Red Baron is in this movie, who Sauron the Prince of Cats is, and how Trotter and Bingo Baggins saved the Shire from becoming a chocolate factory.

Don't worry, you movie nerds, we get into all the goodie goods.

A romantic holiday like today needs the ultimate romantic flick. A movie about a boy and his pie. We chat about true love this week with the scrumptious American Pie!

Where did all these new Hollywood whippersnappers come from? How many positions did they experiment with for pie love making? Why are Eugene Levy and Jennifer Coolidge the best things about this movie? And why did Ty hang this poster above his bed to wake up to every morning? Rach falls in love all over again while discussing the most romantic movie of all time.

It's that time of year! Time to drink hot cocoa and snuggle by the fire. Just make sure your dad isn't in the chimney first ;)  

This year for the Christmas Special, Ty and Rach cover the one and only Gremlins. We talk monkeys, puppet mayhem, and all things Gizmo. We also share our personal three rules and it definitely isn't don't feed Rach after midnight.

Well we did it! Not only did we maybe watch one of the scariest movies of all time but we may have also caught paranormal activity on our podcast! Ty and Rach dive into all things Stephen King with The Shining. We talk ghosts, lumberjacks, and imaginary friends (oh my!). Here's Johnny! 

1...2...Summers Off is coming to you with our Spooky Season episode of Nightmare on Elm Street.

Rach delivers maybe the best review of all time, makes scary scraping glove noises with her mouth, and refuses to go into boiler rooms. We talk all things Freddy: the hat, the sweater, the glove, the name. How hot is baby Depp? Will Ty ever take a bath or sleep in the middle of his bed ever again? Will Rach have nightmares that make her poop her pants?

Good news for those fellow weirdos out there, this is part 1 of 2 Halloween adventures!

Ty and Rach step out of the DeLorean in their sexy red puffer vests for this Season 6 Finale of Back to the Future!

We chat about Michael J NOT being the first Marty, Crispin Glover's weird volcano painting, Biff's mystery sexy friend, and Professor Brown's, I mean Doc Brown's chimp.

And the most important question: would you be friends with your parents back in the day?...even if they tried to kiss you...?

Summer may be winding down but we've got two episodes left! Do your fabulous self a favor and watch Rach's final pick for the season, The Birdcage.

You'll learn about all things 'man' like smearing toast, how John Wayne walks, and tips for waxing?? Ty and Rach talk drag queens, Disney, and the many dialects of Hank Azaria. "The important thing to remember is that you can always get more toast". 

#5 is aliiiive! Children of the 80s rejoice, because we come to you with a banger this week: Short Circuit!

Did Disney steal this robot design for Wall-E? Did audiences really hiss at Ally Sheedy when she planted a smooch on a robot's cheek? What's going on with the character Ben in this movie? Could he be...

Don't malfunction, give this week's pod a listen!

Like the title says, this one is a doozie! Rach's pick this week finally features the one and only Sandra Bullock alongside a sisterhood of some heavy-hitting actresses. We break down the southern belle archetype, best mother/daughter movies, and reveal our secret blood oaths. If you're confused, you should be.

We return with another classic from Summers Off's favorite no-neck monster, The Schwarzenegger. 

Is this Arn's craziest performance yet? Would Rach survive the Stalkers and their weird pro wrestling gimmicks? Who even wrote this thing?

If nothing else, you need to listen to this so you can see that hottie mc'hotterson Glen Powell in the remake later this year. Skip the movie and listen to our silly faces fill your ear holes with all kinds of great fun with...The Running Man!

What a doozy we have for you this week on Summers Off. We watch one of the worst movies of all time...Super Mario Bros (the 93 edition!)

Rach is flabbergasted and Ty is trying to remember if he loved this movie as a kid or not. It's a confusing time for everyone involved including the producers, directors, writers, actors, and Nintendo.  Why was this such a poopie mess? Tune in to find out! "Here we go!"

Looking for a 90s throwback this week? You got it dude! Tune in as we pay homage to the Olsen Twin dynasty. That's right, we're watching It Takes Two. We talk fan clubs, discount Billy Crystal, food fight rules, and child labor laws. Does it take two to make a thing go right? We're about to find out. 

From swashbuckling to knee buckling we LITERALLY get romantic this week with The Count of Monte Cristo.

Ty is the king of the moment with one of his faves. There's tons of history for you nerds out there.  We talk hottest cast ever with Jim Caviezel, Henry Cavill, and Richard Harris.  Rach talks Monte Cristo sandwiches and plots out revenge on everyone who skips this one.

Smack in the middle of wedding season, we're bringing you the only wedding movie that matters, My Best Friend's Wedding. For Rach's pick this week, we'll talk karaoke, lip scars, the Windy City, and which movie is Cameron Diaz's best (spoiler: it's this one!). 

FREEEEEEEEDOOOOM! We get epic this week with one of Ty's top five flicks, Braveheart!

We chat all things Scots. Ty gets nerdy with 13th century history, Rach oils up Scottish muscles, the mullet vs. long hair debate returns, and Ty gets real mad when people slam this movie.

Did Mel even want to do this? Where's the bridge at Sterling? What's the best cinema fight scene? Is Rach the Scottish hottie or the French babe? Tune in to find out.

It's Season 6 bay-bay! Who knew we'd make it 6 seasons?! Rach kicks off this summer with one of her top 5 faves and cult classic, Waiting for Guffman.

Haven't seen it? Never heard of it? What's the matter with you?! Just kidding, but it's worth a rent especially if you're a fan of the Schitt's Creek cast.

This week we talk all things mockumentary, the Christopher Guest experience, and community theater drama.   Buckle up for Season 6! 

*Note: We recorded the first few episodes of this season before the passing of our daughter, Ophelia. While we considered editing it out, we were filled with such joy and it felt like we would be erasing that part of our journey. Projects like Summers Off provide us with a connection to our creative spirit and each other. Thank you for listening. This season is extra special.

"I'll let you download this podcast anywhere..." For Valentine's Day, we address one of the spiciest movies of all time. It's another edition of Summers Off After Dark with this naughty, cinematic masterpiece that aged so well with no problems whatsoever - Cruel Intentions!

We talk spittle, real slaps, puking on set, that saucy soundtrack and how much it cost them, the sequels, and an amazing musical adaptation.  All this while giving you the lowdown of what happened with Reese and Ryan and debating the Top 50 sexiest movies of all time list.  It's a very tasty episode.

Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals! You know we couldn't pass up the opportunity to sneak in a holiday episode.  And this year we celebrate the festivus with 90s kid paradise, Home Alone.

We talk stunts, fake mob movies, proper spider handling, and settle the question - who's to blame for all of this?  Keep the change and Happy Holidays from the Hudsons!

"Hey jerks, playing this pod at 3x speed kills!"  Enjoy and see you at Xmas!

We've got ties to Three Ninjas and Cool Runnings, the worst table read in history, creepy coma guys, and pubic transit tips/tricks. Ty even has a segment all about the 90s Chicago Bulls dynasty. Ladies and gentlemen, please steer clear of the closing door and take your seat. 

Snakes, rats, monkey brains, and terrible Cate Blanchett wigs.  These movies have it all. We tackle the 3rd Indiana Jones movie this week with The Last Crusade.

This week we head back to the 80s for some good ol' fashioned mid-20s "time to stop partying all night and get a day job" fun with St. Elmo's Fire.

We talk about the many sides of Rob Lowe: the philosopher, the sex man, the sax man.  We attempt to define brat pack. Rach debates if she's a Demi Moore or an Ally Sheedy.   And Ty struggles to come to grips that he might be a little too close to Emilio in this movie.

Everyone's favorite movie where a guy falls in love with his girlfriend's mom. Yes really!

Listen in as we talk adding kisses, adding lines, and adding unnecessary nude scenes. 

This one is a theatre kid's dream.  We go to musical theatre summer school this week with the cult classic Camp.
