FANCY Fantasy Football Podcast

Episode Notes Welcome back to Part 2, the finale, of the FANCY Halloween Movie Spectacular. I would again like to sincerely thank my guests, Abby, John, and Jen for watching a bunch of Halloween movies and chatting with me about them for a looooooong time. As I mention in the intro, this episode begins with more talk with all four of us, and then a brief chat with just Jen and me, and then finally I wrap it up with my thoughts on the movies that I alone watched, including most importantly Deadly Friend and Magic Magic. The theme music is "Downtown" by deeB, from the Internet Archive.

Episode Notes Here it is! PART 1 of the annual Halloween movie discussion extravaganza, this time even more ambitiously featuring myself and THREE guests. We had so much fun and had so much to say that I had to cut it into two parts, and this is just part one. Please enjoy, and come back for Part 2 soon!

Episode Notes Oooooh boy. Happy Halloween! I did things differently this year for the mega-discussion of scary movies, and it resulted in this behemoth. It's a great discussion with multiple people, including Abby, Johnny, and Jen! But hoo boy it will take a while to listen to. Enjoy! As always, there are some big spoilers in here for the movies discussed. Timestamps are here. Please please avoid the discussion for any movies you want to see and not have spoiled! 0:00:00 - Intro Discussion 0:03:57 - One Night in Soho (low grade spoilers) 0:08:45 - Night House (medium-high spoilers) 0:14:46 - Resurrection (extreme spoilers) 0:26:48 - Men (extreme spoilers) 0:39:37 - Titane (extreme spoilers) 0:46:38 - Lamb (extreme spoilers) 0:52:48 - Halloween (2018) 0:57:36 - Halloween Kills 0:58:48 - Halloween Ends 1:08:31 - Fright Night (1985) (medium spoilers) 1:14:51 - Hellraiser (1987) (light spoilers) 1:19:53 - Hellraiser (2022) (medium-high spoilers) 1:29:09 - Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities 1:37:04 - Abby Outro 1:37:57 - INTERMISSION 1:38:00 - Johnny Intro 1:58:43 - Vampire’s Kiss (Featuring Jen) (mild spoilers) 2:02:23 - The Black Phone (big spoilers) 2:08:29 - Incantation (big spoilers) 2:14:49 - X and Pearl (big spoilers) 2:24:24 - Saloum (medium spoilers) 2:30:25 - Smile (medium-high spoilers) (and bonus Malignant spoilers) 2:38:41 - Gatlopp (mild spoilers) 2:40:33 - The Empty Man (big spoilers) 2:46:59 - Fresh (medium spoilers) 2:54:19 - Barbarian (big spoilers) 3:00:07 - Crimes of the Future (big spoilers) 3:06:33 - Nope (extreme spoilers) 3:15:16 - Outro All music is from the Free Music Archive.

Episode Notes Welcome to the annual discussion of the Oscar Best Picture nominees, and joining in the discussion, as usual, is Jen. There were ten nominees! So much to discuss! Two quick warnings heading into this one: 1) There are some mild spoilers throughout, so skip the entire discussion for that movie, based on the timestamps below, if you're sensitive about spoilers. There's only one particularly big spoiler, which is for Nightmare Alley, and so I've specially tagged that one. 2) Jen and I are somewhat down on the movies this year, and so it's not all singing praises. But we really liked a couple of them! Here are the timestamps for you to carefully navigate the episode if you choose: Intro: 0:00:00 to 0:01:32 Dune: 0:01:32 to 0:06:26 Nightmare Alley: 0:06:26 to 0:12:15 PARTICULARLY SPOILER-Y NIGHTMARE ALLEY PART: 0:09:22 to 0:12:15 Don't Look Up: 0:12:15 to 0:19:38 Power of the Dog: 0:19:38 to 0:26:10 West Side Story: 0:26:10 to 0:32:14 King Richard: 0:32:14 to 0:38:17 Drive My Car: 0:38:17 to 0:46:42 Belfast: 0:46:42 to 0:49:50 Licorice Pizza 0:49:50 to 1:03:58 CODA: 1:03:58 to 1:29:05 (but Licorice Pizza tangent 1:15:12 to 1:17:17) Viewing Omission Regrets: 1:29:05 to 1:33:49 Closing 1:33:49 to 1:34:15 As always, the intro music is a minimal version of "Reflections" by Anti-Pop Consortium from the Free Music Database. Thanks for listening!

Episode Notes Please join Johnny and me for the second half of our incredibly lengthy, but hopefully enjoyable, discussion about Groundhog Day. In this installment we finally get around to talking about our favorite and least favorite parts of the movie, the message of the movie, and also a truly unfortunate video game adaptation. As always the theme song is a modified version of "Reflections" by Anti-Pop Consortium from the Free Music Database. The other audio clips and sound effects are used for commentary purposes and fun and constitute fair use and whatnot and please don't sue me for making this for the ten people who listen. Thanks and have a good one!

Episode Notes Join me as I try to continue my streak of holiday-themed movie discussions with what is arguably one of the best, most consistent holiday genres--Groundhog Day movies. I am joined by good friend and fellow time loop fan Johnny Rhoads and we . . . pretty much never stop talking about Groundhog Day and time loop media in general. Our conversation went so long that this very long podcast is not even close to the whole discussion, and I will be putting out part two soon. In the meantime, happy Groundhog Day, and go watch Groundhog Day! As always the theme is a modified version of Reflections by Anti-Pop Consortium. Clips from Groundhog Day and the Making of Groundhog Day are my attempts at fair use. Byeeeeee!

Episode Notes Please enjoy this very timely double-feature episode with Jen. We talk about our two picks for holiday movies: The Family Stone and Scrooged. One of us, I won't say who, is a Scrooge about Scrooged! Here are some timestamps if you just want to check out certain discussions: Intro: 0:00:00 to 0:01:41 The Family Stone: 0:01:41 to 0:40:36 Scrooged: 0:40:36 to 01:08:49 Outro: 01:08:49 to 01:09:50 Happy . . . holidays . . . everybody? I hope you enjoy our chat. As always, the theme song is a remixed version of Reflections by Anti-Pop Consortium, from the Free Music Archive. Byeeee!

Episode Notes Please enjoy this looooong discussion with the excellent guest John Rhoads about the terrible movie Jingle All the Way. Seriously this episode is like five minutes shorter than the movie itself. I apologize for: 1) this coming out way after Christmas, and 2) kind of a lot of background noise. I hope you still enjoy it! Or just save this one and revisit it during Christmas 2022. As always, the theme song is a modified version of Reflections by Anti-Pop Consortium from the Free Music Archive. There are various clips from Jingle All the Way and interviews in this episode and I'm gonna go ahead and claim fair use what with all our insightful commentary. Thanks and have a good one!

Episode Notes Welcome to the (sort of) next installment of the FANCY Fantasy Football Podcast that is not at all about fantasy football. In the (sort of) start of a series of episodes about holiday movies, this episode is a long chat with returning guest Abby Saul, who selected The Holiday. My sincerest apologies to my previous guest Alex, with whom I had a lovely chat about Elf, but I failed to record the discussion. Oof. Anyway, as always, please enjoy and let me know what you think. The theme song is a modified version of "Reflections" by Anti-Pop Consortium. There's also a couple of clips in this episode and, uhh, I am calling fair use because of our discussion adding context and analysis. Have a good one!

Episode Notes After an extended absence, the FANCY Podcast is back to discuss a whole bunch of Halloween movies with dear friend Abby.

Episode Notes After a long hiatus, the FANCY podcast returns to introduce a new guest, my buddy Baylee. Baylee and I talk about moving, kids, COVID, games, and inventions. There are some pretty deep dives into computer and board games included here, which is not for everyone, so here are the time stamps for skipping around: 0:0:00 - 0:4:40 - Introductions 0:4:40 - 0:12:10 - Baylee moving to Cleveland busy times 0:12:10 - 0:17:12 - Baylee’s COVID life 0:17:12 - 1:02:23 - Games Talk (see below) 0:18:22 - 0:23:00 - Balder’s Gate 3 0:23:00 - 0:30:22 - Monster Train and Slay the Spire 0:30:22 - 0:36:48 - Politics and Controversy and with Dungeons and Dragons and Lord of the Rings 0:36:48 - 1:02:23 - Board Game Shark Tank 1:02:23 - 1:10:34 - Non-Game Invention Shark Tank 1:10:34 - 1:11:45 - Outro As always, the theme song is a minimal remix of "Reflections" by Anti-Pop Consortium from the Free Music Archive. The quasi-Shark Tank theme is "Queue 1b" by Soularflare. Thanks for listening!

This episode is just a fun chat with Gary and Abby as we recap our visit to my parents in Virginia. Also Lily terrorizes the house a little bit at night. The Podcast Halftime concept was shamelessly stolen from the Easy Allies podcast. The theme song, as always, is an edited mix of "Reflections" by Anti-Pop Consortium from the Free Music Archive. Podcast Halftime Theme is "Breathe" by Axl & Amp from Jamendo Music. Please send any questions or comments to podcast@fancyfantasyfootball.com. Thanks!

Nick returns to the figurative cohost chair, and we discuss the second week of the playoffs and look ahead to Championship Week. In addition, we discuss the Golden Globes at length, take a detour into a bodybuilding discussion, and make the BWAAAAAAMP noise from Inception a lot of times. My sincere apologies for forgetting to discuss the Best Actress in a Motion Picture Comedy or Musical category of the Golden Globes. I went out of order from my notes and I was all over the place and made many mistakes. For the record, I like Emma Thompson.

In an extra special and extra long episode, I am joined by guest host John Rhoads. Of course we talk a little about Round 1 of the playoffs and look ahead to Round 2, as well as the Boose Bowl, but as one might expect, the halftime sort of takes over the show. During halftime, we talk about gratuitous Simpsons references, Pokemon Go, Advent Calendars, and some movie recommendations. No Snitch Corner even makes its triumphant (?) return.

Nick and I recap the conclusion of the regular season, and look ahead to the first round of the playoffs. But the highlight (lowlight?) of the show is again one of us (me) embarrassing ourselves by singing in screeching falsetto. Enjoy!

Nick and I briefly looked at Week 12, and looked ahead to Week 13. But the real star of the show is YOU, the listener. We got some fun listener questions for this episode, and as a result it is certainly a FANCY Podcast record for featuring the most voices. Way to go, team.

Returning from our one-week hiatus, Nick and I extremely quickly look at Weeks 10 and 11, with an eye toward the standings and the playoff outlook. Then in Podcast Halftime we talked about Disney movies for a LONG TIME. Then we did a very quick Week 12 preview.

We're moving on from Halloween and back to our regularly scheduled programing, looking back at Week 9, and looking ahead to Week 10, AKA Rivalry Week: Round 2. But I'm going to be honest with you, the real star of the show is Podcast Halftime, which starts at 0:15:40. It's a good one this week, I promise.

I solemnly swear to not make these incredibly long in the future, but there was just too much good Halloween content to keep it manageably sized. My apologies. Abby came on the show for a supersized discussion of Halloween movies, and Nick made a special appearance for the halftime.
