The Summers Off Oscars 2025 Primer - Our job is making you sound cool at your Oscar party
Summers Off
The podcast episode nobody asked for, but we had to deliver! Summers Off wades into unfamiliar territory and this is as legit as we will ever get. We deliver all of the Oscar movie mayhem you can handle, and trust me, there's a lot of scuttlebutt to get into. Did you know that there is a war between two Oscar films this year with Emilia Pérez and I'm Still Here? Has AI scandalized an Oscar frontrunner into fallen hero status? Will Chalamet's noodle boy potbelly lead him to Oscar glory as the new Michael Jordan of film? We hit it all, baby! If you know nothing about the films this year, I...

The Holiday
Summers Off
It's a Christmas Miracle - Two holiday episodes! Unfortunately, Ty may get put on the naughty list for his Ty-raids in this episode. But you know who else is on the naughty list? Cameron Diaz. Just saying. Join us for a second holiday treat. Find out where that cottage is... or if it ever was! Who is Mr. Napkin head? What was Jude Law's favorite part of filming? Can he be any cuter? Short answer: No, he cannot. Thank you for joining us this year. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year! See you in 2025! Love, Summers Off

Nothing screams holiday magic like a good Hallmark / Lifetime Christmas movie showdown! This Holiday special features not one but two Christmas movies made just this year.

Halloween Surprise: Rosemary's Baby
Summers Off
We had to do a scary one! Ty conned Rach into subjecting herself to the front stage and backstage horror that is Rosemary's Baby. We get into the Rosemary curse on this film, Mia Farrow's personal horror in her love life, and Ty's scary obsession with John Cassavetes. The biggest reveal of all is that Rach actually enjoyed the scary movies Ty picked this year. So much so that she has promised to watch scary movies all year long. Send your submissions to her personally. The scarier the better.

Spooky Spectacular - Ernest Scared Stupid
Summers Off
We get hit with a case of the whackies for our Halloween special, Ernest Scared Stupid. We chat about the Ernest origins, talk trolls, and debate what age this Disney movie is intended for. Ty struggles with the impressions, there is plenty of singing, and we discover if this movie melted Rach's Ernest hating heart. Tune in to find out!

LOTR - Two Towers and Return of the King
Summers Off
That time has finally arrived! The season 7(!) finale of Summers Off. And what better way to say goodbye than by talking about some major nerdy stuff for a couple hours. Rach can't carry the podcast, but she does carry Ty through this explosive finale with her amazing impressions of Gollum. We chat about the hippies who saved this franchise. What is Gollum juice? And how many times did Viggo get his ass kicked? And yes, Ty goes on a Ty-rade about Rings of Power. It is explosive, it is heartwrenching, it is Summers Off's season finale. We can't wait to see you on our next adventure!

Showgirls
Summers Off
Come one come all! Okay maybe not ALL. This week's episode of Summers Off may prove to be one of the most risqué films we've done yet. We're talking about Paul Verhoeven's 1995 erotic drama, Showgirls (Rach's choice!). Loathed for its lewdness and beloved for its camp, Showgirls is a wild ride. You honestly just have to see it to believe it.

Fifth Element
Summers Off
I don't want one listen, I want all the listens! Bzzz! What's wrong with you?! We have some Chris Tucker magic this week with our episode on Fifth Element. We get into the love stories taking place in front of the camera and behind, why Gary Oldman is ashamed of this one, and the soft jazz parties of Bruce Willis. And, we broach the question you've wanted answered for years. Is that Milla Jovovich's real hair? All this and more this week on Summers Off!

Rock-A-Doodle
Summers Off
This may be our most niche watch yet. In order to prove it wasn't a fever dream, Rach shows Ty a Don Bluth classic from her youth, Rock-A-Doodle. Is it the parallel Elvis story or the earworm hits that make this so memorable? Is this tied to an ancient, medieval tale? Where did Rach's childhood fear of owls originate from? And what is that cat saying??! All of this and more will be answered in this week's rockin adventure.
info_outlineLike the title says, this one is a doozie! Rach's pick this week finally features the one and only Sandra Bullock alongside a sisterhood of some heavy-hitting actresses. We break down the southern belle archetype, best mother/daughter movies, and reveal our secret blood oaths. If you're confused, you should be.
