What do teachers do when they are required to take a summer vacation every year? Most of them are productive. This married couple watches movies. Lots and lots of movies. In this podcast, Ty and Rach make movie lists for each other and force the other to watch their films Clockwork Orange style. From tear wrenching chick flicks to dripping testosterone blood baths, this is going to be an awesome summer...

For our season finale we're covering all of it! That's right. Six seasons, two movies, and one limited series turned reboot. This week we're talking Sex and the City baby! The Summers Off season finale that is years in the making and one of Rach's longest deep dives yet. We talk feminism, fashion, feuds, men, and Manolos. Ty describes his ultimate pick up basketball team while Rach finally comes to terms with which SATC girl she is. Is Ty on team Big or team Aidan? Who cares, the ladies are all fabulous!
Welcome to The Rock!!! This week we watch one of the coolest movies of all time...says Ty! We chat about the infamous shower scene, green balls of skin-melting goo, Nick Cage as an absolute crazy man, and what winners do with prom queens. Listen to some Rach smack talk this week. You don't want to miss it!
Ah, High School reunions. A time to come together with the people who saw you through some of your most tumultuous years. Reconnecting over old memories like the time the mean girls put magnets on that one girl's back brace, the mysteriously mute cowboy kid, and flying out the top of a limosine. Wait...who's reunion is this? Romy and Michele's...uh, okay! Just when you think you've heard all of Ty's high school stories, he saves a heartbreaking tale about a Nebraskan Valkyrie. We also delve deep into the fashion that puts this movie into cult-classic status. Ty continues to share unheard stories about his own cult-classic high school wardrobe. The movie may be forgettable, but the stories will last a lifetime.
It's open season on all suckheads! The Summers Off crew takes in the first Marvel movie ever (debatable) with...Blade! We chat about character origins, sequels, Wesley Snipes getting blacklisted, sweet combat, and vampire suntan lotion in this one. Will Rach get nauseous from all of the blood? Will she fall in love with Pearl? Will Ty rock Wesley Snipes' tattoos moving forward? Tune in to find out!
If you don't get baby fever from this episode you'd better check your pulse! This week Ty and Rach watch Three Men and a Baby. They delve into diapers, dresses, and drug deals?? Selleck, Danson, and Guttenberg chillin with a baby and figuring it out. Just bros being bros. Pretty much Ty's dream. Bonus material included in this episode: Star Trek, man shaming, turkey basters, and ghost stories. Goodnight sweethearts it's time to go (listen)!
This one is so bad that maybe it's one of the greatest movies ever made? This week the Summers Off crew invites you to grab a Big Mac, sip some coca-cola, and enjoy all the product placement you can handle with...Mac and Me! Is this Paul Rudd's favorite movie? Is this Rach's favorite movie? Would she be able to handle the most wicked dance sequence in film history? Put your hands together in a V, enjoy a little whistling, and let's go on the trip that is Mac and Me!
Sugar, butter! We've got a tasty treat for you this week with Rach's pick, Waitress. Ty can sing all of the songs from the hit musical by Sara Bareilles, but he can't pick Keri Russell out of a lineup. To be fair, Ty also didn't know that the Gilmore Girls were a mother/daughter duo. We dygress. What he lacks in CW show knowledge, he makes up for in the kitchen. Join us this week as Ty takes us through his other passion, baking! It only takes a taste!
We return with another classic from Summers Off's favorite no-neck monster, The Schwarzenegger. Is this Arn's craziest performance yet? Would Rach survive the Stalkers and their weird pro wrestling gimmicks? Who even wrote this thing? If nothing else, you need to listen to this so you can see that hottie mc'hotterson Glen Powell in the remake later this year. Skip the movie and listen to our silly faces fill your ear holes with all kinds of great fun with...The Running Man!
Can you believe its taken us 8 seasons to bring you the iconic coma classic While You Were Sleeping? Well its here now baby and man is it packed with facts you didn't know you needed to know. We've got ties to Three Ninjas and Cool Runnings, the worst table read in history, creepy coma guys, and pubic transit tips/tricks. Ty even has a segment all about the 90s Chicago Bulls dynasty. Ladies and gentlemen, please steer clear of the closing door and take your seat.
It's Season 8 Premiere Time, BABY!!! Who would have thunk it, but we are eight summers deep and still crane kicking our way through podlife! And our triumphant return is accompanied by one of the best 80s movies of all time...The Karate Kid! We chat it up about baby Ralph Macchio, Chuck Norris rumors, the origins of the fight-ending crane kick, and so much more. Ty does some geeking out on the different forms of martial arts, while Rach admires his TWO yellow belts. Will she love this movie? Does it have enough heart? Are the fighting montages too amazing for her eyeballs? Tune in and find out!
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 daresay this pod might be just for you. We deliver a spoiler-free entry point to this Sunday. If you know everything about the Oscar race, I think you'll love the hot takes and trivia. This will help you look like a million while you scarf down Pickel Boys and Sub-stance sandwiches next to your Wicked cold Fruitalist margaritas.
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. We cover Christmas in the Spotlight. A Lifetime Adaptation of the Swelce Love story, told at Christmas (duh!). AND we have Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story. Featuring Donna Kelce (duh!). These are not to be confused with Spotlight on Christmas, yet another favorite in the holiday franchise machine. Join us as Ty regales us with all things Lunchables, Magic Apparel, and Tay Tay (duh!). You don't have to know either of these films to have a holly jollly time.
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.
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!
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!
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.
It's cookie time! It's cookie time! It's time for Troop Beverly Hills! Fresh off of their trip from LA, Ty and Rach share all the Do's and Don'ts for SoCal. Do go shopping on Rodeo Drive. Don't forget to check the weather before camping. Do get bottle service at a nightclub. Don't get stuck in traffic. Do check out this episode. Don't forget to rate and review!
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!
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.
