Best Blink-182 Song
Send us a message and get a shoutout! This week, we’re diving into the world of Blink-182—pop-punk legends, purveyors of juvenile humor, and the soundtrack to your youth....and perhaps a terrible breakup or 6 (hopefully you got those CDs back). Which song is their absolute best? Is it a tearjerker or a high-energy anthem? Expect passionate viewpoints, unnecessary air drumming, and at least one of us questioning our life choices after trying to hit Tom DeLonge’s high notes. Tune in as we discuss, debate, and probably derail the conversation into Blink’s most absurd lyrics. Because, let’s be honest—what does "work sucks, I know" really mean on a philosophical level? "Where are yewwww?!" You're right here with us as Formidable Opponents debate and discuss "Best Blink-182 Song."

Best 90s Love Song
Send us a message and get a shoutout! The 90s didn't invent the love song (neither did Elvis, knock it off) but what the era did create was a new sound and a new way to express emotions. The artists of the decade created some of the all-time biggest ballads and for many of them, it catapulted them to a whole other level of success and exposure. So, make that phone line dedication, enjoy that slow dance and go ahead and convulse in a fit of passion, totally acceptable (please, warn those around you ahead of time). Yes, this week Formidable Opponents debates and discusses "Best 90s Love Song." As an added bonus, Super Bowl picks, TV show recommendations and we honor the late Carl Weathers.

Most Overrated 80s Band
Send us a message and get a shoutout! On this episode of Formidable Opponents we take you back to a simpler time, a time where a show choir mega stars got together for a good cause, a time when going out to eat at your local Pizza Hut was considered fine dining, a time where music told the the decade's story and those storytellers may have utilized an excessive amount of Aqua Net (pink). Yes, we're revisiting the 80s this week and although we have a deep appreciation for synthesizers, bright colors and big hair, we do have a few things to say about some bands that we feel may have received more credit than they should have. That's not to say we don't care for them; after all, the eclectic sounds and the variety of over-the-top (Not the Sylvester Stallone movie) expression is what made the 80s such an important time for music.

Speaking of great shows, and the endings of great shows, we're kicking off our first episode of the year by discussing and debating "Best TV Series Finale."

Worst Christmas Movie
Send us a message and get a shoutout! Although Christmas is a time of joy and celebration, that won't stop us about talking some of the terrible things about the holiday, namely, the bad movies. Christmas movies have been a yearly staple for decades now. Naturally, with the oversaturation of said movies, you're bound to come across a few stinkers. Sure, we tend to forgive more during the holidays but in this episode of Formidable Opponents, we examine these movies and ask the most important of questions. "Why?!" This week we are joined by our friends Jenna and Danielle from The "Did Not Need to Know" podcast (much like Rudolph had a useful nose, they had high quality microphones), as we debate and discuss some of the Worst Christmas movies of all-time.

Best 80s Pop Song
Send us a message and get a shoutout! On this week's episode of Formidable Opponents, we're covering an era that elevated pop to a whole new level. An era of excess. MTV, arcades, roller skating rinks, bowling alleys, movie theaters and more featured the omni-present soundtrack of all our favorite pop hits of the era. It's hard to believe how much time has passed since the end of a decade that continues to bring us so much pop culture nostalgia. The 80s will always live on, bring us joy and remind us of a time of big styles, big hair and of course, big music.

Best Nicolas Cage Movie
Send us a message and get a shoutout! On this episode, we celebrate one of our favorite legendary actors. Nicolas Cage has entertained the masses for the better part of five decades. We've watched him grow from moody punk teenager to a myriad of leading roles, sometimes subdued, other times intense but always entertaining. The Cage-aissance is taking place and with the acclaimed, recently released "Dream Scenario" generating some positive buzz around our hero, it is only fitting we take the time to honor and discuss some of our favorite Nicolas Cage memories.

Send us a message and get a shoutout! The 90s music scene. What an iconic era. An era for new expressive sounds, lyrics and personalities. An era that created an outlook for bigger, better, louder, angrier. With that sound came a new voice, new problems, new feelings and we explored beneath the surface levels of whom we listened to. Although plagued with loses of some of the biggest paragons who defined the time, the emotion and the rawness of many of the musical acts of that era have stood the test of time and continue to inspire generations to come.

Worst 90s One-Hit Wonder
Send us a message and get a shoutout! For episode 90, we're taking it back to the 90s! We've previously covered "Best 90s One-Hit Wonders" on a revisit, now we are taking on the worst. The 90s were an eclectic time full of opportunity and joy in the music industry. Those opportunities and that joy though short lived remains a part of our core memories and on every preset on every radio for anyone who is over 35 sending minivan owners singing along (windows up and quietly to themselves) all over the world. On the flip side of that, there are songs many of us would rather soon forget. They are novelties or just terrible songs you've avoided for over the past 30 years. Here on Formidable Opponents, we will never forget those 90s one-hit wonders good or terrible because without them weddings, grocery stores, and 10K run-walks just wouldn't be the same.

Best Movie Plot Twist
Send us a message and get a shoutout! Great movie plot twists are like a rollercoaster ride. They take you on a journey of emotions and keep you guessing until the very end. The cleverest of twists will make you want to watch the movie again and again just to see how it all came together. This week on Formidable Opponents we break down these twists, we also show our appreciation of Amanda Peet and perform three of the worst Mark Wahlberg impressions you’ve ever heard but that won’t stop us from talking about what we think makes for a great twist ending (or secretly playing “Good Vibrations” alone in the car and liking it).

Remembering Chris Farley
Send us a message and get a shoutout! To be funny and meaningful is a trait of a truly unforgettable comedian. Chris Farley was a comedic powerhouse that captured the laughs and the admiration of an entire generation. 25 plus years after his death, we still remember the times where he not only made us laugh but also inspired us with his humor and his genius. Though we lost him way too soon and through tragic circumstances that we will discuss, we will talk about his legacy as a physical and energetic performer, as well as what his legacy meant to us personally. This week Formidable Opponents calls a truce, (because brothers don’t shake hands, brothers gotta hug) as we share our most memorable Chris Farley moments.

Best 80s Metal Song
Send us a message and get a shoutout! 80s Metal has a special place in our hearts, it gave us speed, thrash, pulse pounding music that defined a generation and continues to inspire generations after. Sure, it gave us *ahem* hair metal and we are obligated to mention that's a point of discussion, too. However, we are mainly touting the legacy of an underdog genre that was loud, in your face and continues to be both relevant and popular today. 80s metal has been featured on many of today's popular movie and TV shows and it's not difficult to understand why, for great music sets the tone and great metal will never go out of style; join us on this episode to find out why.

It's a natural combination that adds to the experience and gives us all that immersive feeling.

Best Drinking Song
Send us a message and get a shoutout! Our 2023 NCAA brackets are enough to make us drown our sorrows in alcohol but this week we celebrate! We celebrate our return, our listeners and we celebrate the music that bonds us. You can pretty much call anything a drinking song, and if you do, there is help. However, there are a chosen few tunes that are your prime go to's. Maybe they remind you of good times, maybe you're a glutton for punishment who wants to reopen an old wound, maybe you just want to sit back and take the moment in. There are drinking songs for all those occasions and we're here this week to talk about them (and of course to remind you to please drink responsibly).

Worst TV Series Finale
Send us a message and get a shoutout! As many of us know the only thing worse than an ending to something we love is a bad ending to something we love. When a television series ends badly, we are left with questions, confusion and disappointment. They aren't always reliable and consistent. When those "jump the shark" or "slow burn" moments start happening, we usually prepare for the end and sometimes the final episode is a dimly lit match compared to the bright candle we held for the series.

Best Emo Song
Send us a message and get a shoutout! This week Formidable Opponents is elated, excited and pumped up to talk Emo music (odd, isn't it?) Yes, we are standing outside your window holding up our radios as we tackle a music genre that takes us back. Much how we associate party anthems with the great times we had in our youth, emo music played in an important role in how we dealt with growing pains, heartbreak and having to run laps in P.E. We are joined by our good friend (and a guy who can apply eyeliner like no other) Jomichael on this trip down memory lane. So join us and if you're hurt that we didn't mention your band, feel free to write a hit song about it....just don't delete us from your Myspace top 8.

Best Musical Artist That Went Solo
Send us a message and get a shoutout! Acclaim though important when shared can be invaluable for some when the recognition rests solely on one individual's talent alone. A star leaving a band to set out to make a name for him or herself is an all-too common tale. Often times, the impetus of a band's demise occurs when hubris takes precedence (Or, believe in one's self and abilities, if you're into that kind of stuff). This week on Formidable Opponents, we spend 78 minutes trying to name members of The Commodores outside of Lionel Ritchie without Googling. Join us for a fun discussion as we talk and debate "Best Musical Artist That Went Solo."

Best Stone Temple Pilots Song
Send us a message and get a shoutout! Stone Temple Pilots is a band we've always been fascinated by. Their consistency, catalog and talent help to carry the rock scene when grunge was fading out and rock was left trying to find an identity. STP had their ups and downs as a band but they hold a special place in our hearts for the memories, albums and the great live shows we got to witness. Join us this week as we peel back the layers on a group that was more than a grunge band, a criminally underrated collection of talented artists that we still love to listen to to this day.

Best 90s Dance Song
Send us a message and get a shoutout! The 90s dance craze bought us some of the most memorable music of the time. Wedged between over-sized flannel and Raiders Starter jackets, the spandex singlet wearing contingency of 90s lore emerged as a popular genre. Although there weren't many who admitted to enjoying the pulse pounding bass, the operatic and over-the-top choruses replete with the obligatory inexplicable rap interlude, many of us actually enjoyed (maybe not publicly) this unique, often times lampooned genre. What we can admit through it's campy cacophony is that we enjoyed every minute of reminiscing about it. This week on Formidable Opponents, we discuss and debate "Best 90s Dance Song."

Best Video Game Franchise
Send us a message and get a shoutout! This week on Formidable Opponents, we revisit the video game franchises that have given us and continue to give us some of our most memorable moments. Like a proper sequel, we've learned a lot since our last foray into this topic. We sound better, we know what we're doing (sorta) and we've introduced a new character. Our buddy Danny G. joins us to share his insight and recollections of the franchises we've stayed loyal too and some that haven't stood the test of time.

Best Song By An Actor
Send us a message and get a shoutout! On this episode of Formidable Opponents, we explore that next crucial step in an actors career. No, we're not talking about winning the Academy Award. We are talking about those actors that took a leap into faith and decided to pursue a side hustle as singers. Look, they can't all be like Jack Wagner ("All I Need" was a criminally underrated attempt) but that doesn't stop movie stars from believing that they could do just about anything. Flanked by yes-men, producers hungry to make a buck and their *ahem* physicians, anybody could have the backing and courage to cut a single. This week we our joined by our buddy Manny as we dive into many of these long forgotten attempts. Some of which we actually enjoyed!

Best Metallica Song
Send us a message and get a shoutout! Metallica is synonymous with many things. Metal, success, screwing up our burned CD compilations after upending Napster (sometimes you just want to follow up “The Unforgiven” with “Purple Rain,” while you eat your feelings). We’ll get into that but more importantly, we’re paying homage to a band that influenced our musical tastes, provided us with countless memories and paved the way for many bands to evolve, thrive and not be categorized by a genre or label. Through their influence, their sound and their history, we will discuss the music and the stories of one of rock’s influential bands. This week on Formidable Opponents we debate, “Best Metallica Song.” Oooooooh, Yeah-heh!

Nostalgia Round Table II
Send us a message and get a shoutout! Welcome to episode 58, THAT's 58 , NOT 57 as wrongly mentioned in the intro (Give us a break, we're all still in vacation mode). Once a year around this time we call truce and in that rare moment, we enjoy each other's company. On this episode, we take a look back at the things that brought us together and extemporaneously share our thoughts and memories on random pop culture topics. No notes (ok, some), no preparation (telling) and no debates. It's the one episode a year where peace, love (and in this case grapes) take over and our quarrels are set aside. We'll cover summer movies, food, post-SNL careers, fictional bands and TV shows of yore. This week on Formidable Opponents, we're one again revisiting pop culture past on Nostalgia Round Table II (Electric Boogaloo)!

Best Summer Song
Send us a message and get a shoutout! Summer, a time to relax, reflect and of course, there’s no better way to do that than sitting pool side, partaking in your refreshing beverage of choice and listening to your favorite Summer songs. Here at Formidable Opponents, not only would we like to keep all of our collective 29 and a half fingers in tact post 4th of July, we also like to keep the Summer vibes going through the season.

Best 2000s Rock Song
Send us a message and get a shoutout! On this episode of Formidable Opponents, we discuss and debate a bygone era of rock that is often overlooked. They say it takes time to appreciate what you once had and maybe enough time hasn't passed to appreciate the zeitgeist of the millennium's first wave of rock that maybe the public has yet to reflectively embrace but divorced dad's in Ultimate Fighting T-shirts and backwards caps everywhere have never forgotten. This week we discuss the great era centric rock bands like the Deftones, as well as discuss some other not so great rock bands who were just Tone-deaf. Hold on to your distressed jeans and cargo pants, and shut down that flip phone because this week Formidable Opponents (now available on Limewire) takes you back to a simpler time where this worst thing in the world was the CD "Burn error" message.

Best 80s Movie Cop
Send us a message and get a shoutout! We've managed, or at least have tried to describe "the era of excess" as best we could throughout our 80s focused episodes. You would think by now, nothing could or would surprise us but the more topics we focus on during the epoch of New Coke and Styrofoam container "Keep the cool side cool, keep the hot side hot" fast food meals keeps us learning new things about the "Me-First" Decade. During the 80s, if you could combine that rock star appeal crossover with your movie, you had gold and of course nothing (outside of space aliens) attracted the masses more than those oh-so loveable movie cops. They were everywhere and like the decade, they abided by the "Go Big or Go Home" motto. Explosions, one-liners, dirty apartments, severed relationships, perhaps a dog and half a six pack and you were good to go. On this episode of Formidable Opponents, we focus on the heyday of "the loose cannon," "the buddy cop," "the loner," "the cagey vet," the jester," and perhaps even a robot, or two.

Best 90s Breakup Song
Send us a message and get a shoutout! There's nothing like a great breakup song to get you through the most difficult of times. They bring us comfort, relief, or, if you're gluttons for punishment like us, they offer you a companion that not only allows you to absorb that heartbreak at a whole other level, but they can also speak for us. Music is wonderful like that, you can't tell your story without a soundtrack and even the most emotionally impactful moments of your life are forever tied to songs that remind you of loves long (and thankfully) lost. This week on Formidable Opponents, we're joined by our friends at Turn of The Millennials podcast to explore these sad (and in some cases vengeful) tunes. On this episode, we go beyond the matching sweater vests, black turtle necks and oversized flannel and debate our thoughts on what is The Best 90s Breakup song!

Best Movie Opening Scene
Send us a message and get a shoutout! Opening movie scenes have taught us so much. Be careful where you swim, burying a dead body can seem not so sinister, if accompanied by smooth narration and a classic crooner soundtrack and if you don't tip your servers before a bank heist, it may come back to haunt you. A great opening movie scene can tell us everything we need to know about what we are about to embark on as moviegoers. This week on Formidable Opponents, we look at the "tells," the action sequences, the dialogue and the excitement these opening minutes have provided us. Although we won't debate what "Like a Virgin" is about, we will debate what is the all-time Best Movie Opening Scene; plus, we'll wrap up with our reviews on some popular Canadian snacks.

We waited a whole year to honor the greatest TV Moms in history. To the funny, charming, intelligent, beautiful women who have graced our tv screens and to the ones who have graced our lives, we say, thank you. Moms, thank you for all the times you told us sports were just about having fun, for assuring us we weren't going to lose all of our hair like our fathers, for protecting us by letting us know all those girls who dumped us were ugly and low class; plus, all the other lies you told us to make us feel better.

Best 80s Movie Montage
Send us a message and get a shoutout! This week on Formidable Opponents we revisit a simpler time, a time where if you were angry you could just dance or drive or gleefully money launder your troubles away. A time where your problems could be solved in under four minutes, as long as they are accompanied by a synthesizer and intentionally dramatic lyrics. Yes, this week we are putting one foot in front of the other, finding an abandoned warehouse, school library or beach volleyball court, for today we are shifting this podcast 27 times down a winding road and remembering a better time.

Worst Beatles Song
Send us a message and get a shoutout! This week Formidable Opponents kicks off the first in a two part series discussing the most influential band that ever lived. We found that it was better to tear them down before we built them up (just to keep them humble, ya know). As iconic as the Beatles were, it didn't give them immunity from releasing some truly awful songs, every once and a while. With so many classic hits in their catalog, this was not seen as an easy task, but once we listened to a few stinkers, it left us wondering, was the love, spiritual discovery, playfulness and letting Ringo in front of a mic really worth it, Beatles? This week we are arguing Worst Beatles Song.

Best Nickelback Song
Send us a message and get a shoutout! It's not like us to say "Soory," but in this case, we'll make that exception. We had to do it! After many jokes about the band, we decided to do an episode focused purely on one of the most critically hated rock bands in history. We here at Formidable Opponents took on the difficult task to defend the Nickelback songs that got a bad rap. We are revisiting those singles and giving them their fair shake. Do we like Nickelback any more than we did before? No, but you can't deny their omnipresence at dive bars, tailgates and in vehicles with expired registration stickers (and perhaps an arrest warrant, or two). This week join us and look at this photograph...err, listen to this podcast.

Best Batman
Send us a message and get a shoutout! With many giving praise to the new Batman film ("The Batman"), Formidable Opponents has decided to take a look back at the history of Batman films -- more specifically, the stars who donned the cape, cowl and rubber nippled armor. We have now witness different cinematic interpretations of this comic book legend spanning five consecutive decades. Together we have rejoiced, celebrated and at times questioned and winced at the attempts of the iterations that noted filmmakers have gifted us throughout our lifetimes. No matter which superhero is your favorite, you cannot deny the caped crusader has captivated moviegoers more than any other comic book icon. This week, we ask George Clooney for our $4.59 back...ahem, we mean discuss who best portrayed Batman. Forgive us for the growls.

Worst Cover Song
Send us a message and get a shoutout! Our favorite artists, they are just like us. They screw up. No matter how talented and how big someone may be, no one is exempt from ever making a bad decision. So, what happens when an established talent takes a classic and completely screws it up? That's what we are here to discuss this week on Formidable Opponents. You may not celebrate the fact that we brought these horrible renditions to your attention but we hope you get a laugh out of some of our insights and observations from the artists who attempted to pay tribute to their formative influences, only to completely fail (and perhaps they still make millions off those mistakes...OK, they are nothing like us).

One Year Anniversary
Send us a message and get a shoutout! We did it, we made it to one year, bypassing our collective predictions by several months. Last year, we jumped on the pandemic podcast train sending out a beacon to those who longed for the days of spandex and subsequently flannel laden music videos, three camera sitcoms where every problem gets solved in 22 minutes (plus commercials), and movies where stout men with ponytails who would break your femur clean in half. It's been a fun first year and here's to a few more months, nay, years of overachieving. Thanks to each of you for listening.

Best 60s Rock Song
Send us a message and get a shoutout! This week Formidable Opponents takes it back to where it all began. A revolutionary era where rock first took its shape. We are talking about those sonic overtures our ears, minds and souls still benefit from today. 60s rock music was more than popular culture, it was civilization, it was the societal oxygen that inspired movements and shaped our viewpoints. It gave us the voices and noise a generation not only thrived on but craved. Join us as we discuss the music from an inspired era as this week we talk 60s Rock Songs!

Best TV Show Opening
Send us a message and get a shoutout! This week, Formidable Opponents is taking you back to a simpler time, a time of peace and joy before the skip intro button was created and knocked humanity down a few pegs. A time where no matter your background, the one thing that bonded is was the weekly rhythmic intro of our favorite television shows. A time where you ran into the house fresh from your street football or four square game just to make it on time to watch Tony Macelli slide home during a way too important softball game, or watch Tony Soprano paying his toll, showing that tv housemaids and mobsters -- they are just like us!

Best Movie Death Scene
Send us a message and get a shoutout! This week Formidable Opponents discusses the most satisfying, absurd, creative and most badass movie death scenes!

So, don't be "dead tired," and be sure to give this episode a listen. Our picks will definitely cause some chest bursting excitement, and you can take that to the bank...the blood bank.

Best Opening Song Lyric
Send us a message and get a shoutout! Now that our break is over and we're forcefully responding to each others' texts again, it's good to know that heading into year two, we still have such a fun time and a passion for this. Quick disclaimer: We recorded this at noon on Sunday 1/16. We usually record Sunday night but Joseph felt if the Dallas Cowboys lost their playoff game, he wouldn't be in the mood to record. Luckily, he prepared for the worst (we'll be sure to give him plenty of grief next episode). So, as we kick off our first podcast of 2022, we decided to go with something new, and welcoming, something that starts this year off right. There is nothing more satisfying than when that opening lyric starts up a song that immediately and forever connects you to the piece. Join Formidable Opponents this week as we kick off 2022 and discuss, "Best Opening Song Lyric."

Best Saturday Night Live Holiday Skit
Send us a message and get a shoutout! We talked Christmas movies and music, for this, our final episode of our Christmas trilogy and final episode of the year, Formidable Opponents will be discussing those SNL Holiday skits that gave us the biggest laughs. We not only revisit some classic comedy skits, we also revisit a couple of our earliest episodes, episodes 5 and 6 where we argued which were the best female and male SNL cast members. We also give our non-expert advice on starting a podcast, as well as discuss what we will be planning for the new year. We'll be back in a couple of weeks and to those who have listened, supported us and became our friends in 2021 (the year we launched), from the bottom of our hearts..."Thank you for this."

Worst Christmas Song
Send us a message and get a shoutout! Christmas Music sets the mood, gets us in the holiday spirit, and of course, nothing brings people together quite like complaining. Christmas music isn't all bad but you have to admit, it can get a bit annoying, especially when you have 59 renditions of "Santa Baby" (all bad) and two of "Daddy, Don't Get Drunk This Christmas" (did we really need an updated version of this, Alan Jackson?) This week, so you wouldn't have to, Formidable Opponents sifted through all the worst holiday music classics. It's enough to have you shout at the top of your lungs "Well, tonight thank God it's them, instead of you!!!" Please enjoy this early Christmas gift from us. Bust out your Casio keyboards, for this week, Formidable Opponents debates the all-time worst Christmas songs!
