Today Kevin and Charlie tackle what is undeniably a modern cultural icon, Stranger Things. The show blasted on to the scene to wide spread appeal and kept coming back for more (for better or worse). All these years later, it's finally done and NOW we can talk about it. We'll dive into the cast and characters, major story arcs, the strange and frustrating release schedules, and more. Fire up those synthesizers and lets goooo.

Once again, we uphold a Parking Lot the Podcast tradition where Kevin explains a series to Charlie over the span of multiple months of recording sessions. This episode, we have Kevin walk us through Larry David's best show *according to Charlie*, Curb Your Enthusiasm. Unlike other episodes where we've followed this format, this one took SO long that Charlie was able to binge the entire show between some recording sessions so somewhere along the way it becomes less Kevin explaining it and more just the two of them discussing episodes and seasons. And just like Curb, our show has little to no writing involved so you never know where we're going to end up.

For the first time since the creation of this podcast, there is a Star Wars movie in theaters! The Mandalorian and Grogu have escaped from Disney+ jail and made their way to the big screen! And just like any other time Star Wars has produced content, there are nerds like us ready to debate over how much they hate and/or love it. Listen in as Kevin and Charlie weigh in on this discussion while giving their best Babu Frik impressions. Alternate titles* - Mandarin and Grogu Search for the Deep Plot - Finally, Scorcese and Grogu Together - Baby Yoda and the Friks - The Bear You can listen to a new episode of our show on Spotify, iTunes, and Podbean every Tuesday night at 8:30 PM EST!

Every now and then, an idea arises that is so unique, so inspired, that it's downright life changing. These ideas can shape the minds of a generation. On a podcast, its an honor and a privilege to get to share those ideas with the world and hope that we can inspire the hearts of listeners all around the globe. We extend our sincerest and most grateful thanks to everyone who helps us make this dream of ours a reality. Anyway, here's Kingdom Hearts but we put Sitcom characters in it.

It's time for another "biopic" about a music icon so all the grifters attached to their creations can get that moolahhh. This time, its Michael Jackson's turn, appropriately named "Michael". This movie is likely the most polarizing of the music icon biopics so far, considering the fact that the public is still pretty split on just how much of a predator Michael really was. Of course, this movie wants you to buy into the hype so it (and by extension our review) are going to pretend none of that stuff happened. Anyway, here's Michael. Alternate titles* - HEE HEE (didn't do it. Or did he. I don't know the movie doesn't say). - Charlie's Worst Nightmare...

As much as we'd all really love the Charlie Games to be some horrifying Hunger Games ordeal, it is instead much less interesting than that (Parking Lot Pitch????). The Parking Lot boys often do an episode where Kevin talks about his recent video game experiences, so this time Charlie has decided to talk about a few video games he's been playing lately and his feelings on how they represent the video game industry at the time. Some games he uses as examples of the modern industry are Jurassic World Evolution 3, Civilization 7, and Baldur's Gate 3. Tune in for some hard hitting video game journalism and by that we mean, absolute nonsense and tangents. Thank you for listening to our CHARLIE Talk.

Well. We're here again. Once more, Illumination comes in swinging this time with Super Mario Galaxy Movie. Charlie and Kevin weren't exactly fans of the first and had no reason to believe the sequel would be any different. Listen in as they try to keep it together as their hopes and dreams of an enjoyable Mario movie franchise for them crumble before their eyes. Alternative titles* - Thing's Did Happen This Time In Space - Wanda's Next Big Role - See What You Get with No Gay Characters? - Super Pass Bros. - Christopher Nolan's Super Mario The Odyssey - If its Woke to hate this movie then I've never been more Awake You can listen to a new episode of our show on Spotify, iTunes, and Podbean every Tuesday night at 8:30 PM EST!

It's been a while since we've done an episode featuring two movies we feel accurately capture the highs and absolute lows of cinema in their genre. These two happen to be in the same "series" even, 1999's She's All That and the 2020's reboot He's All That are so wildly different in quality its honestly startling. Listen in as we talk about both movies and their respective... qualities. We also reeeeally wanted to put Kiss Me by Sixpence None The Richer in the opening for this episode but couldn't clear it with our legal team in time. Maybe one day. Alternate titles* - She’s the Man -You look like a sexy scientist - And this years Oscar for best acting goes to - They/Them’s All That You can listen to a new episode of our show on Spotify, iTunes, and Podbean every Tuesday night at 8:30 PM Eastern Time!

For the last few years, Kevin and Charlie *and Chris starting with '24* have done an episode detailing their Top 10 movies of the year. They aren't ranking them in any order other than that these movies are definitively THE BEST. They then go on to talk about all the other movies released that year that they saw. The Top 10 of 2024 was a highlight episode for us, running at about 4 and a half hours, so we were all excited to do 2025's. Maybe a little too excited... This is *at the time of it's release* our longest episode. Enjoy the next 7 hours and 49 minutes of your lives! *if you just want the Top 10, that just requires the first hour and 23 minutes of sacrifice* We'll be sure to do it bigger and better next year!
