Guys, Friday Island has been insane lately, first dinos showed up, then pirates, and now the dinos are back??? How much more deadly can this place get??? That said, the boys are now in the mood for dinosaur movies, all three Jurassic World movies, to be specific! Where'd they film Jurassic World 1? How many dinosaur animatronics were used in Jurassic World 2? And just how passionate was Colin Trevorrow about Jurassic World 3 and its lack of apocalyptic vibes? Come on in, we can't keep these dinosaurs waiting, they are NOT patient.

I don't wanna freak nobody out but the boys may have found a map on the island with an X marking a secret treasure... turns out it was just some old gold skull coin, but the adventure at least inspired them to finally get started on the Pirates of the Caribbean! What actors were considered for the role of Jack Sparrow before Johnny Depp? What does antagonist Barbossa's name come from and what does it mean? And what extra measures did Johnny Depp take to look so cool in that bright Caribbean sun? And honestly, we're probably just gonna give them their gold coin, I mean why keep it to ourselves if them not having it makes them immortal zombie skeletons?

EVERYBODY JUST CALM DOWN, THE LONG AWAITED SEQUEL IS FINALLY HERE AND SO IS SUMMER!!! That's right! The boys are finally digging into the greatest DCOM gem of all time, High School Musical 2! Why does Neil in particular love this movie so much? What wild shirts did Corbin Bleu wear through fan votes? How many people tuned in for the release of this work of art? And how many days did it take to film the hit bop 'Bet On It'? Now pack up, roll out, and warm up those vocal cords, it's time to hit the ol' Country Club!

Friday Island has finally gone too far with science, the guys got a little too big for their britches and may have cloned dinosaurs, it's no big deal though, they're gonna try to monetize off them with a park! A Jurassic Park! What are the guys favorite dinos? What dino animatronic proved to be even more threatening than intended? And what in the world was John Williams thinking when he made that fantastic soundtrack? We sincerely advise you to enjoy this episode safely, away from the island, because it may or may not be overrun with giant, man eating, ancient reptile monsters, but don't worry about it, we've got it under control!

Office building fights, googly eyes, and everything bagels, no this isn't a Dunkin' Donuts, it's Everything Everywhere All at Once! What did the writers originally intend for Evelyn to have in order to access the multiverse? How tiny was their CGI team? What big-name actor nearly had a role in this movie without even reading the script? And what wild (and possibly divisive) questions might Neil have for this widely beloved movie? QUICK, do something weird and access another version of yourself from a different universe, Jamie Lee Curtis is coming, and she's MAD!

WHOA! There's a guy running around and killing people for the Egyptian moon god and another guy fighting off a red witch across the multiverse? Oh this must be another Marvel episode! You KNOW this one's packed with all that Friday Island goodness you know and love! What did Oscar Isaac do to enter the mind of a superhero struggling with mental illness? How do the guys feel about all these Disney+ MCU shows and this new phase of the MCU in general? Oh! And what Sam Raimi movie references snuck into MoM? What about sneaky Disney references? And which MCU character has accurately guessed which universe they're in? Do yourself a favor and grab your nearest America Chavez, and please, please just leave the Darkhold alone! It's not called the Darkhold for no reason, okay?

EMERGENCY, GET OUT OF THE WAY and listen to the boys talk all about Michael Bay's Ambulance! Which actor had always dreamed of being in a Bay film? Which actor rented an ambulance in preparation for their role? And how do the guys feel about the Oscars, and the Oscar-winning Dune after some time has passed? I hope you've got your EMT license, 'cause this is about to get intense!

It's gaming week on Friday Island, and not only are the dudes goin' all in on the iconic zombie apocalypse parkour games, Dying Light 1 and 2, they even temporarily departed from the safe haven that is Friday Island and headed to Boston for PAX East! What easter eggs can be found in the Dying Light games? Where in the world are they supposed to take place? How did the developers create such a massive world for Dying Light 2? And what the heck went down when the boys spent a wild day at PAX East?? You better stretch those limbs for this one cuz parkour is no joke, and neither is walking around a massive Boston convention for a whole day!

Whoa, we're throwin it back to the 90s for this one! You better believe the boys are talkin about Mario 64 AND a couple throwback quizzes for Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings! Is this the first game where we heard Mario's iconic voice? What happens when you collect every star in the game? And how well will YOU do in these quizzes? Button your denim overalls, grab your Mario hat, and hop on into this episode for some good old nostalgic fun!

Alright listen up Friday Islanders, maybe you know the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but how much do you really know about it? What was the worst part of filming for the cast and crew? Which actor was shockingly young for his or her role? What reboots do the boys hate and love the most? Oh yeah, I'll bet you don't know even half the fun facts we've got in store for you with these reboots too! It's grisly, gritty, and gnarly up in here, so follow all the slasher horror cliches and get listening to this episode while you evade a chainsaw-wielding, human-skin-wearing cannibal!

Have you ever noticed how dark that side of the moon is? It's cuz there's some robots up there, they don't teach you that in school, but we do here! And what about the Star Trek references, do you know about those? Or how Michael Bay got Oscar winner Frances McDormand in this? Or how long it took to render that big robot worm? Oh, you're about to learn a lot today, just you wait!

What's big and fluffy and red all over? A magical girl who turns into a giant red panda when she's too overwhelmed, of course! This week, the boys are diving deep into Pixar's latest film, Turning Red! What Pixar easter eggs can be found throughout the film? Did you know that the red panda statues have names? And why do Karens hate this movie so much? Grab your 4*Town tickets and join the boys for this banger of an episode!
