About this listen

In this week's episode, Jay sends Mike back to 1999 with A24’s Y2K, a horror-comedy hybrid stuffed with glow sticks, AOL CDs, and the crushing weight of secondhand embarrassment. After Mike tries to make sense of weaponized nostalgia, teenage idiocy, and killer iMacs the guys count down their Bottom Five Period Pieces—a list of historical misfires and anachronistic abominations. Then, they battle in a game of Dueling Double Bills, where two surprise titles must be paired with perfect (or perfectly bad) companion films. Finally, Mike gets his revenge by announcing the next movie Jay will have to endure, ensuring that the war of bad cinema continues into the new millennium... or at least the next episode.
