Anytime Minutes

We're back from vacation and wrapping up 2017 before heading into the new year. First up, Griffin counts down his favorite movie phone calls of the year, and shames Tony for only watching superhero movies. Then, the boys talk resolutions set and broken. Finally, we count up the final donation all of you helped us make to Tubman! Thanks as always to Alex Brodsky for making our theme music and Makenzie Flom for the art.

It's New Year's Day! New year, new us, but still an old bit. Just like we did with "Love Actually" and "Valentine's Day," we're watching and ranking the storylines in the Garry Marshall film, "New Year's Eve," starring Cary Elwes, Jim Belushi, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and Jon Bon Jovi as Jensen.  Thanks as always to Alex Brodsky for making our theme music and Makenzie Flom for the art.

Merry Christmas! This holiday we're talking about our all-time favorite holiday TV.

We're taking a week to prep the next couple weeks of holiday shows, so here's an old favorite: a ranking of our favorite storylines in the 2003 film "Love Actually."  And most importantly, our holiday fundraiser for Tubman, a Minnesota organization that provides support to women, children, and families struggling with relationship violence, addiction, and more.

This week we're talking about the new Netflix documentary, "Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond," which pairs behind the scenes footage from "Man on the Moon" with a recent interview Jim Carrey. It's weird!!! But is it weirder than the Jim Carrey Grinch? That's what we're attempting to answer as we kick off the holiday season. Thanks as always to Alex Brodsky for making our theme music and Makenzie Flom for the art.

Back from the Friendsgiving break, we're catching up on all the movies we watched, including Thor 3, Three Billboards and.... A Christmas Prince. Plus, a deep dive into Griffin's Letterboxd account. Wow, after 109 episodes we actually forgot to thank Alex Brodsky for making our theme music and Makenzie Flom for the art. Yikes.  

Griffin is back after a week away. We talk about his brother's wedding, seeing Lady Bird, seeing Hamilton, and crying through all of them!!! Also Taylor Swift said "shit" just as he predicted. And Thanksgiving talk. Many things.  Thanks as always to Alex Brodsky for making our theme music and Makenzie Flom for the art.

Griffin's brother got married this weekend so that means our good friend Carleigh Knowles is BACK to talk about "Stranger Things 2." Be advised we're going full spoilers as we try to answer all the biggest questions, like: Is Eleven a boring character? Was Billy all that hot? What was Griffin's best man speech like? What about Bob? And what do we want out of season 3? Thanks as always to Alex Brodsky for making our theme music and Makenzie Flom for the art.

Look, we all know John "Papa John" Schnatter dated Taylor Swift in the late 2000s, and she wrote "Dear John" about him. But did you know the pizza billionaire mogul is in a fued with the NFL that cost him tens of millions of dollars this week? Wild. We'll talk about that, plus the World Series, in this extension of everyone's favorite segment: Tony's Sports Minute! Thanks as always to Alex Brodsky for making our theme music and Makenzie Flom for the art.

Happy Halloween!!! In celebration, we're running down the best horror movie phone calls, talking about how the phone works as a suspense builder, why they don't just hang up, how we're big brave boys that aren't scared of anything, etc.  Thanks as always to Alex Brodsky for making our theme music and Makenzie Flom for the art.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, in this ep we announced Anytime Minutes is moving to Mondays. Did this one go up very late Monday, into Tuesday morning? Maybe.

It's the 20th Anniversary of Blink 182's "Dammit," one of the best "I learned this with tabs in 10 minutes" songs out there. We'll talk about struggle-playing the guitar and whether or not Jared Kushner busted out some "Banana Pancakes" in college. Then: The Killers just put out their fifth album, and we almost come to blows over it??? Thanks as always to Alex Brodsky for making our theme music and Makenzie Flom for the art.

It's our 100th episode, and it's a special one!

Taylor Swift is back and she's... dead. Or so she told us, over the phone, which is why we're talking about her new single "Look What You Made Me Do," and the phone calls that got us here.
