Thnks Fr Th LrcsWest Coast SmokerWelcome back to a podcast that is definitely only about Fall Out Boy lyrics and not remotely about anything other than that topic.
Definitely not drugs. We never talk about drugs when discussing Fall Out Boy.
Other non-drug talking points: Is Erin’s horse a dog? Should you put your genitals in sugar water? James names Erin’s next dog. Plus, fun lead facts, and we hold Tracy hostage!

Can't Hardly Wait MinuteMinute 96: The Pop Tart Stalker Has Struck AgainIn this episode, Erin likes the way one of the characters reacts to some smooches but doesn’t like how the other character reacts to the smooches, which could definitely be more LivTyleresque. We consider how some of the cast might not be all that pleasant in real life and also do some casting of a different movie with characters from this one! James does a flawless impression.

Erin has a functioning computer, but because of the untimely demise of her previous one and the fact that she hadn't backed it up after we recorded this episode the first time, this is a re-record (and a damn good one, if we do say so ourselves). Tracy manifests some accents, Erin gets the name of the song wrong and also doesn't know the difference between Twitch and Twitter, and James is the glue holding the episode together, so everyone should head over to Twitter and thank him for that.

Newsies MinuteEnd Credits LivestreamHey! Well....um...haha here's the recording of the livestream that we did to cover the last couple seconds of the movie and the end credits. There are so many topics covered. Who wrote the lyrics? What of ceiling fans? Is there any fanfiction that Erin (who claims she didn't write it) could read on the air, what did we get each other for Christmas, an FMK, and like 3 announcements of things that are either well-established or even over by now. So....yeah! We had a great time on this show. Don't stop telling your Newsies loving friends about it...

Tracy drops spaghetti on the floor, Fall Out Boy manages to get the attention of Justin L. after his breakup with Christine P., and the word “goddamn” is either incendiary or packs a punch, depending on how sweet and innocent a boy James is—I mean, uh, how sweet and innocent the listener is.
Also, Tracy does social media on this episode, so you know you want to listen, because Tracy does the best social media.

As a result, she doesn’t remember what was actually discussed in most of this episode, and in fact she’s pretty sure James specifically said “There’s the episode title” at one point and she just doesn’t remember what it was, but doesn’t have time to register for it, so let’s just pretend that never happened.

It's dark, it's gritty, it's gorgeous, and as track 6, it slows the album down for a minute before the pace picks up again with 7 Minutes In Heaven (Atavan Halen).
Stick around for the social media section at the end, where Tracy and Erin just absolutely lose it.

In this episode, James asks Erin a question about the plot of the movie and it leads to a very good, though long, discussion. We also come to something of a conclusion about what one of the messages of the movie is!

2020-04-1100 minCrossroads MinuteMinute 65: A Mistake?CW for discussion of unplanned pregnancy and the tough decisions that result from that, including abortion and choice.
We break down the possible paths that took Lucy’s mom to motherhood. Erin’s been making one assumption for almost 20 years, but James brings up a very good second option that actually makes more sense, and makes Lucy’s mom a more sympathetic character.

2020-04-1000 minThnks Fr Th LrcsHomesick at Space CampThe fifth track on "Take This To Your Grave" is a reference to the movie "Space Camp", which James watched and briefly tells Erin and Tracy about in this episode. We recall the days of AOL Instant Messenger away messages (which was middle school for Tracy, and...somewhat after middle school for Erin and James #milleniolds), and Erin does a Google so Tracy doesn't have to dig out all her FOB liner notes.

Neither of us really knew much about cars at the top of this episode, but James fixed that problem for us. He’s a regular Marisa Tomei, our James. We marvel over the fact that 1973 was 30 years prior to this movie, and almost FIFTY years prior to now; also, that there was ever a time without cell phones.

And what do you do when you’re on a trip you can’t afford? You get a hotel room, of course!

2020-02-0600 minThnks Fr Th LrcsPretty in PunkIn this episode, we revisit 80's movie references and alienate some members of this era of Fall Out Boy, but don't worry: Joe comes out unscathed. All this as we attempt to discuss the line:
"The only girl who ever gave me the time
was the one who only wanted five minutes of mine.
Knocking boots in the back,
How degrading is that?
I declined"
Which I (James) tried to recite from memory in the episode, got wrong, and then congratulated myself and was congratulated by Erin for getting right. Supportive cohosts, amirite?
Anyways enjoy!
2020-01-1800 minCrossroads MinuteMinute 10: The Scrawny Personality of a Very Dusty BoyIn this episode, we discuss Kit's awful friends and why maybe what they're saying to her about Dylan isn't SO messed up (but it still is), then we mostly discuss one of the best scenes in the whole movie. Justin Long with his surprising abs, Britney Spears wasn't told to be awkward, and clouds and clouds of talcum powder fill the air. Also, a "James and Erin discuss movies by the minute" first: underwear description!
2020-01-1700 minCrossroads MinuteMinute 4: Toes Do Look Like Fries?James WILDLY mishears the final line of the minute. We get a lot of very heavy-handed exposition crammed into a short scene, Dan Aykroyd is Dan Aykroyd, and Erin loves Justin Long.

2020-01-0900 minThnks Fr Th LrcsHonorable MentionWelcome to Thnks Fr Th Lrcs! In this first episode, James and Erin discuss the Demo Album, Fall Out Boy's Evening Out With Your Girlfriend, and the lineup of the band before and during the making of this album. Then we get into our first track, Honorable Mention, discussing the lyric, "I said I hate you but I'd never change a thing./I can be your John Cusack" which naturally leads into a discussion about John Cusack and a MAJOR error James has been making about Erin.

2020-01-0400 minCrossroads MinuteMinute 0: Britney Spears Made a Movie?!We prepare you for this new show by doing a number of things: First, a transitional note from James that will not surprise anyone who listened to Newsies Minute. But James trills his "three" words and that MIGHT surprise you. James implies that 1982 is the sequel to 1981. Then, a preview of 2020 and what we're excited about (Spoiler: The Year of Women). Finally a bit of our background on the movie, with a timeline contextualization of Britney (the album), Crossroads, In the Zone, The Famous MTV Video Music Awards show, Britney and Madonna on "Me Against the Music", and Britney's relationship...
2020-01-0100 minCrossroads MinuteTrailer #1Hey, everyone! James and Erin are back with a new by-the-minute movie podcast. Join them on an every-weekday audio roadtrip from Georgia to LA as they rewatch 2002's "Crossroads", starring Britney Spears, one minute at a time.

2019-12-3000 minNewsies MinuteMinute 116: Newsie StyleIn this, the final minute of the podcast proper (join us tomorrow night for the livestream where we'll cover the rest!), James's voice sounds like absolute trash. Pointy Pokey takes Jack's stuff back to the Boarding House, maybe?, Jack sees Skittery, David is a Newsie now (you can tell by the hat), Crutchie misunderstands, Sarah gets some, An Erin Mystery is Solved, and the process of what happens when a Newsie kisses someone is finally explained, James ruins the whole podcast and then he makes the same joke as he did in Minute 108, and finally, we discuss credits (actually weirdly...
2019-12-0900 minNewsies MinuteMinute 110: World Newspaper for GovernorIn this episode, Pulitzer goes through a wide range of emotions, a compromise is struck and then vastly overstated, then we basically outline Newsies: Aftermath, then Erin talks about a rabbit hole she fell down. Then James accurately predicts when the credits start.
2019-11-2900 minNewsies MinuteMinute 109: SomeuppanceIn this episode, Seitz is a stand-up (and stand-still) guy, Pulitzer's hearing is investigated, Pulitzer is out of touch with the youths, we discover another Significant Other of Jack's, Medda is FINE, we figure out how many hours it was before Jack broke the deal, Jack gleans some information from one encounter, Erin "No But"'s James's amazing joke about Seitz as a hitman (she was right to do so), then we talk about coffee cake for a little bit. Then I imagine someone ELSE as a hitman.
Then social media leads us to a discussion of date order in...
2019-11-2800 minNewsies MinuteMinute 107: Max(Casella)10In this episode, we figure out who carries whom, Erin wins a math thing, Racetrack has a catchphrase(?), we consider some Newsies Minute merch, who is Papa Seitz disgruntled with?, The Decimator messes up a name and Kenny Ortega doesn't call cut, then he takes a swing at a joke and does it bad, and Jack aims for Max(casella)10 swagger
2019-11-2600 minNewsies MinuteMinute 106: Newsiesiditidity(?)In this episode, Luke Edwards is known for his ability to say "NO", THE TRIUMPH, James posits a theory, Erin SLAMS New York City (SLAM a la Finish It), The 3-part Boots Manifesto, Girls Still Want Rights, David looks dirty, possibly because of a fun-loving Inkfight, and finally, James makes a BAD JOKE/REF THAT MAKES NO SENSE, but I (James) couldn't cut it because it leads to the 5.5 minute discussion about protests, war, tv, pop culture messing up our headcanons of whent things happen, and John Lennon & Yoko Ono that consumes the rest of the show
2019-11-2500 minNewsies MinuteMinute 105: It Was Fairly SuccessfulJames tells us all about Teddy Roosevelt (you know, the guy from Newsies). Erin forgets the format of the show for about 9 minutes. We have no idea how there is as much of this movie left as there clearly is.
2019-11-2200 minNewsies MinuteMinute 102: Roll For Newspaper PrintingThe newsies have to be very, very quiet while they do some very loud activities. Erin is baffled by some paper. Also, how does *time* work in the Piano Basement? Is Ben Franklin a ghost? James researches printing presses.
2019-11-1900 minNewsies MinuteMinute 98: Brass Knuckles for Everyone!In this episode, Sarah continues to be attacked and the general populace seems uninterested. Her brothers join the fray. Will they be victorious? Also, Erin criticizes Sarah's punch (but not the circumstances that lead to a punch worth criticizing) and James gives a report on brass knuckles.
2019-11-1300 minNewsies MinuteMinute 96: Piano/Pot FanfictionIn this episode, David didn't get laid, the start of a mini-movie, possibly partially written by Charles Dickens, Weasel vacillates wildly between two tones and also is making it up as he goes along, Erin wonders about Jack's bag of...pots?, Erin and James reveal that they've never been arrested, Erin wonders about Jack's new lodgings and the musical accoutrements, Alan Mencken hatches a nefarious plan to get another song into the show, Erin does James's job for him, and finally we talk about EYC for a little bit! It's a wild beginning to the week.
2019-11-1100 minNewsies MinuteMinute 90: Sugarcoat It For Crutchie!In this episode, Erin doesn't notice things about Jack's cell. Crutchie returns! There's an obvious potato/roll. James could have used the phrase "Not yucking yums" and it would have been PERFECT, but he didn't. What did Crutchie Durden do to the saurkraut? We make some more cases for The Refuge being better than the Boarding House, but then James points out a very good reason to not want to be there. We take a hard stance against child abuse. There's an iconic Away Message-worthy line. Jack breaks the hard news about life to Crutchie. And we wrap up by...
2019-11-0100 minNewsies MinuteMinute 88: Dave is the New JackIn this episode, Erin suddenly yanks us all the way to the end of the minute to question the physics of something that James had thought was just fairly realistic, and in doing so also manages to plug another podcast she makes, The Third Temptation of Jack, we discuss how David would fare in The Refuge, James accidentally makes an unflattering comparison, then he says a thing that he decided not to edit out, we discuss the pros and cons of The Refuge vs the Boarding House, and Erin closes out the episode by once again questioning the physics depicted...
2019-10-3000 minNewsies MinuteMinute 86: Secret Bit Commitment ClassIn this episode, Pulitzer treats Jack like a dog, makes historically inaccurate (though technically not wrong) statements about we, and commits to all the bits. Then the rest of the episode we talk about chess. James makes wrong statements about Harry Potter, chess, and a name he's said mere seconds beforehand. Also, Erin correctly interprets something James reads and he interprets it incorrectly. So that's frustrating (This is James writing, by the way). It's a journey.
2019-10-2800 minNewsies MinuteMinute 79: My Cousin Spot ConlonIn this episode, Spot objects, the boys are fined, but Moneybags Denton shows up in a...bowtie?, How did David escape?, the Newsies are relieved, Racetrack is either relieved for envious about Jack's shiner, a Fellas-off has a clear winner, and we imagine Sarah having a grand revelation. Erin and James pitch their twitter accounts and James finds a dream journal from an abandoned project.
2019-10-1700 minNewsies MinuteMinute 76: Ca-COP-phonyIn this episode, James makes a bad joke, James summarizes the opening of a different movie, Harold's unnamed wife is not in the mood for another riot, Butt. Still. (this was the alternate title), Kenny Ortega: Master Cheerleading Guy, Anne Margaret is DONE., Denton happens to notice Snyder, we imagine Denton in different eras, Snyder vs Snide, James mispronounces Dutch words, Denton uses some new lingo on not a great burn, #Snide, another round of "What are they drinking?", David points someone out to Jack, and Jack steals a kiss
2019-10-1400 minNewsies MinuteMinute 73: I Say That What You Say is That the Census is Frustrating AF.We’re still rallying. This minute contains James’s favorite line of the movie. Erin finds a fascinating Tumblr: https://newsboys-of-1899.tumblr.com/
2019-10-0900 minNewsies MinuteMinute 71: Ghostwriter, the Ninja Turtles, and Peter Pan Walk Into a Rally…Pulitzer is so far off his rocker it’s all the way on the other side of the room…unlike Erin’s dog Torg, who is so close you can hear him gnawing on a bone for part of this episode—apologies, everyone! Erin derails us into a whole tangent about PBS’s “Ghostwriter” (which we have since confirmed aired from 1992-1995), and then the Ninja Turtles, and then Peter Pan, and outs her childhood self as being just a big old goober.
2019-10-0700 minNewsies MinuteMinute 65: You Blew It, CrutchyCrutchy screws up, and another Roundhouse alum makes his way to the screen.

2019-09-2700 minNewsies MinuteMinute 63: Highfalutin' PikersWe wrap up King of New York with an amazing ceiling fan spin, and get a vocabulary lesson. James laughs possibly the hardest he’s laughed on this show to date.
2019-09-2500 minNewsies MinuteMinute 62: Soak Those TablesWe learn about movies, and cigars. Will Smith is The Greatest Rapper of All Time (and is cooler than Erin). Erin and James officially lose the plot of the podcast around the 18 minute mark.
2019-09-2400 minNewsies MinuteMinute 60: Goodbye DollyThis is the most James and Erin episode of Newsies Minute thus far. There are a couple of tangents, but mostly we do a good job discussion the rest of the fight and the aftermath leading into the song next week. Truly what we'd really like is if you could please get your fingers off our faces.
2019-09-2000 minNewsies MinuteMinute 59: Combat TalkThis minute is basically wall to wall fighting, so we do a lot of talking about the fighting that we saw. I called this episode "Combat Talk" to be like the Clash album "Combat Rock". Anyways, stay tuned to the end for the best Erin life you'll hear maybe ever!
2019-09-1900 minNewsies MinuteMinute 57: Usher Could Have Been in NewsiesIn this episode, we discuss how heavy horses are, where Les got his coffee can, what horses Erin played with as a kid, why the instrumental reprise of Seize the Day doesn't work, some fight-dance strategy, ways to make the podcast a little longer, but most importantly, COULD Usher (Raymond IV) have been in Newsies? He wasn't, but could he have been?
2019-09-1700 minNewsies MinuteMinute 56: Don CarlosWe talk about the awkward nonverbal marital spat in Pulitzer's office, the beauty of a bunch of singing boys, and then James talks about a realization he had that really paid off. And THEN in the last seconds of the episode, James teases something for later in the week that Present Day James (who is editing the episode and writing this description) has no idea what he's talking about.
2019-09-1600 minNewsies MinuteMinute 54: Marty Belafsky, MVPJames laughs VERY HARD. David is a wet blanket. Erin has QUESTIONS. Crutchy is the best.
2019-09-1200 minNewsies MinuteMinute 52: The New York Multiverse of RefugeJames researches the New York House of Refuge and develops a new headcanon for himself and Erin. It's WILD. Kind of like the New York House of Refuge, actually.
2019-09-1000 minNewsies MinuteMinute 44: The Underwear Is Just Modesty UnderwearWe’re off to Brooklyn! Erin makes a hypothesis and Google tells her it is WRONG. We discuss if newsies swim, and which newsies the internet ships.
2019-08-2900 minNewsies MinuteMinute 26: What's In a Name? Only Tim Can TellWe talk briefly about the minute. David gets a knife! Didja notice? Les "is" "asleep" and "singing". And then James leads Erin through a convoluted maze to try to solve a fairly trivial mystery.
2019-08-0500 minNewsies MinuteMinute 15: Maybe Pulitzer Didn't Suck?Erin is shook as James reveals some Brand New Information that has her rethinking everything she ever knew about Joseph Pulitzer.
2019-07-1900 minNewsies MinuteMinute 12: Math Is HardIf only we were as good at mental math as Jack is, we wouldn't have to do retakes of things because we got our math wrong.
Racetrack continues to be Erin's favorite, and if anyone has fanfiction of him and Weisel as gambling buddies, feel free to @ her on Twitter because she definitely wants to read that.
2019-07-1600 minNewsies MinuteMinute 11: A Hot Tip in the FourthRacetrack borrows some papes, but it's okay--he's got a hot tip and it's a sure thing. (Not like last time.) James and Erin get Stephen King and Stanley Kubrick momentarily confused, and Cher's dad is a jerk.
2019-07-1500 minNewsies MinuteMinute 6: Right Nun and Other Grate RolesHave James and Erin watched any horror movies made by teens lately? Can Christian Bale dance? What exactly are Harlem and Delancey? And hey. Who are those nuns?
2019-07-0800 minNewsies MinuteMinute 5: The Invisible VerseErin and James recall a verse that...doesn't actually exist.
2019-07-0500 minNewsies MinuteMinute 0, Intro: Soak 'Em for Crutchy!In the inaugural episode of Newsies Minute, James and Erin discuss what listeners can expect from the show.
