10 Things I Hate About You - 199907 Sep 202401:33:47

Andrew really should just become a regular host at this point, dude. Returning, yet again, for one of his all-time favorite movies, Andrew joins Lindsay and Scott to discuss what might actually be the quintessential high school film of the 90's - even more so than Clueless. We said what we said. Also, this has Allison Janney and just... you can't go wrong. I mean... come on.

The Matrix - 199923 Aug 202401:57:48

Bullet-time! Long, slow-mo shots in mid-air! Reverse kanji and a sushi menu! We've got you covered with all the green-tinted, leather-weather, trench-coat-rocking scifi-action as Scott, Matt and Andrew tackle The Wachowski's "The Matrix", starring Keanu Reeves and Laurence FIshburne. From the incredible visuals to the wooden acting to the still-not-entirely-resolved plot hole(s), they're here to take you as far down the rabbit hole as you're willing to go. But the real question here... would you choose to be unplugged?

Hercules - 199702 Dec 202301:38:17

Is there finally a song that's makin' Scott get emotional? OH! There so is! Was this arguably one of the best Disney villains of probably totally absolutely fersure all time!? We won't say yes but... I mean come on. The pegasus blew his effing hair out! That's genius!! Welcome to Disney's Hercules from 1997, the world's first Disney film NOT based on a fairy tail, but instead dipping a tentative toe into the tides of mythology. Oh, and obviously Danny DeVito is here too!

Star Wars - Ep. VI: Return of the Jedi - 198304 Dec 202101:54:10

Buckle up, Nerds! Lindsay was spicy tonight and it took both Scott and our returning special guest, Chris, to keep her in line. And it was an unsuccessful venture. But, you know what wasn't? This movie! From the Ewoks to the massive fleet battle to the love triangle Han made up in his head, we cover everything that made this movie great and decide whether it was actually as great as some of us remembered! Be sure to check this and all our episodes out wherever you listen to your podcasts, and get all the show updates right here!

The time has arrived, at last - Lindsay can finally die happy!

Join us and see just how much/little Scott noticed on his first dive into the world of Robert Jordan's masterpiece adventure while still barely scratching the surface.

You know the theme song. You recognize the hat. You tried using your dad's belt as his whip. Who is it? Why, it's none other than archaeological smoke-show and all around badass Indiana Jones, here to take us on the wild adventure to hunt down the famed Ark of the Covenant. Join Lindsay and Scott as they dissect the historical accuracies, the music and the rise of the smokin' hot nerd trope!

Eternals - Review and Discussion08 Nov 202101:44:48

Superman Robb Stark? Check. Sick as hell speedster? Check. Enough time to delve into the stories created by this already-pretty-long movie? ...Ehhhhh! Join Lindsay and Scott for their deep-diving review of Marvel's newest box-office contender, "Eternals (2021)"! Obviously, spoilers from start to finish with this episode so listen at your own discretion.

Star Wars - Ep. V: The Empire Strikes Back - 198005 Nov 202101:55:28

The greatest sequel made? In history, even? Oh, you better believe it! The first film in the 80's, "Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980)" is Scott's all-time favorite movie, not only in Star Wars, but the entire universe. Delve deeper than even we anticipated with Special Guest Chris as we break down the timeframe of Luke's training, the terror that is Vader and why the Jedi really are kinda the worst. I mean... they are, right? They are.

Dune - Review and Discussion01 Nov 202101:24:05

Sand-swept scenes of destruction, mystery and giant-ass worms encapsulate our newest episode as we labor under the heavyweight novel-turned-feature film that is Dune (2021). Join us, and our expert guest, Peighton, as we try to unravel the feverish visions of Paul and his ascension from son of Atreides to something truly magnificent!

The Marvels - Review18 Nov 202301:07:09

We'd like to sum this film up with a single phrase, if we could be so bold: Yada-yada. Did we have fun? Oh for sure! Was it hilarious? Most outrageously so! Did it have a proper villain and a plotline devoid of holes bigger than a jump-point entryway? ...-ahem- anyway... Come to your own conclusions, think for yourselves, draw with your own fingerpaints... but be sure to check out our review, nonetheless!

The Muppet Movie - 197925 Oct 202101:01:45

Hi-ho, gang! It's time to play the music, it's time to light the lights - It's time to meet the Muppets on our Podcast, here, tonight! From their humble television beginnings comes "The Muppet Movie" (1979), the first of many feature-length films to come. A personal favorite of both Lindsay and Scott, this will absolutely not be our last stint into the wonderful, musical world of Jim Henson's most beloved characters, but you gotta start somewhere, right?

The Hobbit - 197722 Oct 202101:50:18

It's finally here. The moment Lindsay's all been waiting for! We've arrived at Rankin and Bass's 1977 animated... uhm... "masterpiece", I guess(?): "The Hobbit". The first film adaption of Tolkien's great works, this episode finds Behind The Timeline exploring the wonderfully chaotic story of Bilbo Baggins and his journey across Middle-Earth; Join us for all of Scott's questions and all of Lindsay's patience trying not to strangle him for not knowing stuff. (With Special Guest: Andrew C)

Pete's Dragon - 197718 Oct 202100:55:58

Pullama... uhm. No, Poddama... Nah. No, I got it! Pass-...on this movie! Lindsay's first (and likely only) adventure with "Pete's Dragon" (1977) did not play out anywhere near as favorably as "Mary Poppins" had. And Scott's rewatch as an adult really brought new angles to this strangely long and musically-overstuffed partly-animated feature. But, we love you so here's the break down!

The PCPB - Ep. 314 Oct 202100:58:24

You'll never believe this - we're back! That's right, folks: Your number one source for all the things we thought were important in the world of Pop Culture is back with another episode. Today, we discuss the new GoT spin-off, even MORE WoT (if that's even possible) sneak peaks and the break down of a most hilarious addition to the Muppet filmography: Muppet Haunted Mansion!!

The Rescuers - 197711 Oct 202101:13:33

And right back to another Disney film we go! This time it's "The Rescuers" (1977), the cult-classic tale that actually became something of a nightmare scenario for Scott while re-watching it. Take a deep dive into the mind of The Cool Uncle as we try to wrap our heads around the craziness that was this movie!!

Venom: Let There Be Carnage - Review08 Oct 202101:13:43

Back to back episodes revolving around Scott's favorite things? Whatta treat, I tell you! Despite Lindsay's best efforts to keep the topic on track, it surely is no surprise (it was inevitable) we go off on some long-winded rants and tirades as we review "Venom: Let There Be Carnage" (2021). Come take a listen!

Star Wars - Ep. IV: A New Hope - 197704 Oct 202101:40:10

"It was foretold that you would be here; Our long awaited meeting has come at last." We've arrive, ladies and gentlemen. The greatest pillar of Scott's personality has finally hit the timeline. You better believe we go off the rails more than a few times this episode so chart your navi-computers, secure your astromechs and punch it! We're going into "Star Wars - Ep. IV: A New Hope" (1977) for a wild ride!

The PCPB - Ep. 204 Oct 202101:09:59

It's back - the news! Well, ok so the news is like always happening but OUR news is back. Second episode and all. Join us as we discuss Disney+ Day, HBO Max and What If...? S1E8! IT STARTS RIGHT HERE!!

Batman and Robin - 199710 Nov 202301:41:13

We're back from a brief stint in... not... releasing an episode! We had some scheduling to work out, some drinks to be had, some ass to kick! But we're finally back to you and finally back to the timeline. And what an enjo-... no. No, that's not the word. What an excitin- nope. That's not it either. What a Batman movie to return to! There we go! This was certainly one of the Batman movies ever, that's for sure! Joined, as if you needed to ask, by official Batman-ologist Matt, we dive into the final Caped Crusder outing for the next 12 years of the timeline. Was it worth it? Well... ... ... anyway....

Robin Hood - 197329 Sep 202101:00:31

Oodalolly, oodalolly, golly what a ... fox? Idk, man... Lindsay's got the hots for this guy somethin' fierce! Find out why (and more) as we examine "Robin Hood" (1973) - and maybe deal with some not-so-suppressed anthropomorphic attraction.

The Jungle Book - 196729 Sep 202101:02:20

Well... didn't really expect to return to another Disney film with no real lessons or teaching moment(s) so quickly, but here we are! "The Jungle Book" (1967) may have some serious bops, but that can't save it from our break down. Brace yourselves - we really dug into this one!

The PCPB - Ep. 129 Sep 202101:12:46

We've had a shift in policy that has changed our formula, some. Here's the narrative: This is the first episode of PCPB - Pop Culture Playback - where we will review Pop Culture news, shows and articles occurring in the week prior to posting. This week's episode includes "What If...? Ep 7" and a recap of the Emmy's. Enjoy, and let us know what you wanna see next!

Mary Poppins - 196429 Sep 202101:10:11

Did y'all know Lindsay had never seen this? Because I did. And it scared the shit out of me when we finally arrived at "Mary Poppins" (1964). All I'm gonna say is: Thank god she loved it because I have no clue what I would've done.

What If...? S1E6 - Review and Discussion29 Sep 202100:54:44

Sup, Nerds! Welcome back around for another scoop of What If...? ice cream. Sorry, I don't know what came over me. That was bad. Anywhoodles, tonight we dive into the concept of Killmonger saving Tony Stark's life, and all the twists and turns that takes! Join us, won't you?

The Sword in the Stone - 196329 Sep 202101:05:17

We aren't honestly sure what this movie was even about... or really what the point even was. But, hey! Scott won money in the middle of it so... Go, Ravens? Anyway, join us as we laugh through the madness of Madam Mim, the stoic wisdom of Archimedes and the acid-tripping gazes of Arthur in "The Sword in the Stone" (1963)!

What If...? S1E5 - Review and Discussion29 Sep 202100:41:37

Braaaaaaiiiiinnnnnnssssss!! Ok, so they don't actually say that in ANY recent Zombie media... but you get the idea. Marvel's What If...? brings us the undead, talking heads and tons of secret callbacks to other properties. Come ponder the questions with us.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings - Review29 Sep 202101:07:26

Our triumphant return to the movie theater has come on the winds of one of the greatest origin stories a Marvel hero has ever had. Join us as we tackle the insurmountable task of reviewing Behind the Timeline's first-ever Marvel feature film!

Sleeping Beauty - 195929 Sep 202101:12:09

It's here at last! Scott's all-time favorite Disney movie has finally hit the Timeline - "Sleeping Beauty" (1959). And boy-howdy do we break this down; from the nefariously wonderful Maleficent to the badassery that is Prince Phillip - it's all here and more!

What If...? S1E4 - Review and Discussion29 Sep 202100:54:56

Did you see that ending coming? We didn't! The fourth episode of Marvel's "What If...?" (2021) was definitely different take than we were expecting, but damn was it awesome!

The Wheel of Time Season 2 Recap23 Oct 202301:05:57
While this might mainly cover Episode 8 and all its finale-ness, we do connect some dots along the, rehash old theories of Scott's that either came true or were so insultingly wrong he really should just read the books at this point. Come on, son! Erin returns for her final stint in the WoT-era of the show, finally getting to bounce ideas and thoughts off Scott, who has otherwise been kept sequestered away from her spoilery knowledge until now!
Peter Pan - 195329 Sep 202101:17:28

Ok, were we a little dramatic this time? We might've been - I dunno. But, so was this movie, so it works, ok? "Peter Pan" (1953) has way more violence than we remembered, plus a couple more not-so-child-friendly surprises waiting for us. Come take a listen!

What If...? S1E3 - Review and Discussion29 Sep 202100:47:17

Was it Winter Soldier? Loki? HYDRA? Listen in on our take of Marvel's "What If...?" (2021) third episode and find out just how this so-so show finally found it's footing with us!

Alice In Wonderland - 195129 Sep 202101:10:20

You are about the enter another dimension; a dimension not only of sight and sound but of nightmare and nostalgia. A journey into a wondrous land of growing up and creepy cats. Next stop: "Alice in Wonderland" (1951)!

What If...? S1E2 - Review and Discussion29 Sep 202100:52:35

Back with another dip into the "What If...?" (2021) pool with the second episode, where we explore the idea of T'Challa, NOT Peter Quill, being picked up by the Ravagers in the '80's and raised to scour the cosmos as the legendary outlaw, Star-Lord, himself! Buckle up, Nerds!!

Cinderella - 195029 Sep 202101:38:01

Holy. Sh*t! We've arrived at the Silver Age of Disney - and what a way to begin. Today, we discuss the masterpiece that is Cinderella (1950) and all its beauty, music, villainy and ... similarities to Aladdin? Wait...?

What If...? S1E1 - Review and Discussion29 Sep 202100:48:03

It's finally here! Disney+'s brand new Marvel show, "What If...?" (2021) has arrived. And right here, right before your ears, we discuss it's story, characters and the cheap Prada knock-off plot lines that ran the length of its first episode. Buckle up for adventure!

The Suicide Squad - 202129 Sep 202101:57:16

Using the super-sweet powers of time, we jump all the way to the present, where we find ourselves discussing "The Suicide Squad" (2021). Shake hands with your rat, grab your javelins and turn that book right-side-up! Here we go!

The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad - 194929 Sep 202101:52:52

Oh, we're merrily, merrily, merrily on our way to... tangents! While discussing "The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad" (1949), we get lost amongst the thicket of side-convos a bit too much. What can I say? She baited me with The Flash.

Bambi - 194229 Sep 202101:10:13

This honestly might be the first time in Disney film history where, in order to better-understand the first film (Bambi, 1942), you have to watch the straight-to-video sequel. But, to save you all that trouble, Lindsay did just that for you! Isn't she the best?

Fantasia - 194029 Sep 202101:10:29

You're probably thinking to yourself "Omg, Fantasia (1940)! I loved Sorcerer Mickey - he's so cute." But, what if I told you your childhood brain forced you to forget he actually commits murder in this film? Yea. I know. We were shocked, too.

The Dark Friend Social - S2E816 Oct 202302:21:01
And at last, we arrive at the conclusion... of Season 2! Was this what we expected? Did it match the flow of the books and set things yet to come up correctly? Listen in on last time with Lindsay and Erin from "Isn't It Neat!" as they break down all those twisty, turny, dark and daring spoilers from the books! What a conclusion it was, indeed!
Pinocchio - 194028 Sep 202101:44:06

Clocking in at our longest episode to date, this go-around sees us tackle the terrifying realities inside Disney's beloved classic "Pinocchio" (1940). So, parents, this one's for you: Explain how the world works to your 12-hour olds. PLEASE!

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs - 193728 Sep 202101:23:51

It's the very first episode! And what film better to discuss than Walt Disney's first-ever feature length animated film: "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" (1937). Poison your apples and shine your clogs 'cause here we go!

The Dark Friend Social - S2E6-711 Oct 202301:59:06

Let the Lord of Chaos rule! We're covering two episodes of book spoilers this week and there are lots of twists and turns to cover. There were some tough bits to get through and some really exciting ones. We were wrong about lots of stuff and did our best to make correct predictions for the finale. Join us for the wildly mixed bag that was episodes 6 & 7 and we'll be back for the full-spoiler discussion of the finale soon!!
