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.

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.

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.

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.

The NeverEnding Story
Summers Off
It's time for the magical adventures of a bunch of 80s kids and their recreational drugs. We depart this world for that of Fantastica with The NeverEnding Story. Yes, that is the capitalization... This episode has it all. Rach mistaking the identities of our two boy leads and spending half the episode thinking they are the same person. We hear dog-dragon Falkor impressions. Rach does her best voiceover character work. And we cry, hard, for Artax.

Girl Interrupted
Summers Off
This week Ty and Rach delve into the female psyche with Rach's pick Girl, Interrupted. Were you even a 90s actress if you weren't in this movie? Is anyone in this film certifiably crazy? If Angelina Jolie is a volcano and Winona Ryder is an orchid, then what does that make Whoopi? And who doesn't love rotisserie chicken? As always, nothing but the hard hitting questions will be asked in this episode.
