Description
Funny and intense arguments about what is "the best" in the world of movies, music, sports and everything pop culture from three guys who have known each other our whole lives. A formatted head to head (to head) to settle the score, once and for all on everything ranging from best one-hit wonder to best sports scandal. Formidable Opponents covers a wide array of interesting topics and breaks them down in a round table discussion as each of us defends and debates our individual takes on the topics we all love to hilariously argue about.

Send us a message and get a shoutout! This week Formidable Opponents dives into the near impossible question: what is the saddest song of the 1990s? From grunge despair and acoustic heartbreak to emotionally catastrophic funeral ballads, the episode revisits a decade when every music video looked like someone had just lost custody of a payphone in the rain.

From wise, cryptic legends to wildly unqualified chaos agents, we break down the icons who shaped heroes, delivered life lessons, and occasionally committed light emotional damage in the name of growth. Is the best mentor the one with discipline and wisdom? Or the one who just yells, throws you into danger, and hopes you figure it out? We’re ta...
