There is perhaps an advantage to growing up in a humble setting with meager means. The reality of your circumstances can either pummel you into mediocrity or extract from you a burning desire to excel and rise above. Jay’s story is one of the latter. For the last three decades his hunger to rise above has yielded an impressive array of accomplishments. From founding multiple successful businesses to bodybuilding championships, radio, TV...2023-08-1442 minIt's Everyday with John and JayEpisode 78: National Lampoon's Animal House (1978) // TOGA!! TOGA!!This movie right here is the OG. The one that started it all when it comes to the "gross out college/high school hyjinx" genre. Directed by John Landis of Blues Brothers fame and of course written by the fuckin man himself, Harold Ramis, this film takes you on a ride with those loveable scamps from Bluto's (John Belushi) Delta House. Watch as they try to out maneuver expulsion from the absolute the worst dean in college history, Dean Wormer. This movie has got everything a movie goer would want to see.

Trick question dickhead, Lemmy is God! Airheads is one of those severely underrated movies that really needs more love. Starring Brendan Fraser, Adam Sandler and Steve Buscemi. This commerical flop really does rock! Film is about a failing metal band trying to get their song on the radio (a novel concept at the time) but end up hijacking the station instead when things go south. We go into all the hijinks (hey, terrorism is fun!) and discuss some of our favorite concert going experiences. Including Jay's at Inkcarceration 2023.Friends of the Show1 Man...2023-07-251h 13

We already did Clerks, which is arguably Kevin's Smith's best film but we have such a soft spot for Mallrats. We watched this movie together for the first time huddled around my 15in monitor in high school in 2001. This movie really gave breaks to some big time names. Ben Affleck was a relative unknown. Jason Lee was doing skateboarding. Jay and Silent Bob were on point of course and basically everything in this film works....except the alternate extended cut. Hear what got to say on this Kevin Smith classic....plus much more!...2023-06-201h 09It's Everyday with John and JayEpisode 70: Cry Baby (1990) // Grease on an acid trip!This is movie is stupid underrated. Johnny Depp plays Cry-Baby, a teen heartthrob on the wrong side of the tracks who falls for a Square named Allison. Director/Writer John Waters really nails the "James Dean" aesthetic in this movie with a hilarious and campy good time. The songs are memorable and all the supporting cast does a great job.

Tell me about it...stud.Talk about an all time classic. John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John (RIP) really steal the show in this film adaptation of the popular musical. We love musicals, and this one ranks high on our all time list. The music with the story really set the tone (heh). Most musicals suffer from using the songs as a crutch for poor writing. Grease does not suffer from that fate. We get all Grease Lightning on this bitch and go over our favorite songs and moments. Plus much more!!Friends of the Show1 Man Mafia (twitch...2023-05-161h 06

Wayans plays a hardened Marine who gets an assignment to command a bunch of unruly jROTC cadets and tries to get them ready for the Virgina military games. This is what Full Metal Jacket would be if it were made in the 90's...and it was PG-13.
