It's Season 6 bay-bay! Who knew we'd make it 6 seasons?! Rach kicks off this summer with one of her top 5 faves and cult classic, Waiting for Guffman. Haven't seen it? Never heard of it? What's the matter with you?! Just kidding, but it's worth a rent especially if you're a fan of the Schitt's Creek cast. This week we talk all things mockumentary, the Christopher Guest experience, and community theater drama.   Buckle up for Season 6!  *Note: We recorded the first few episodes of this season before the passing of our daughter, Ophelia. While we considered editing it out, we were filled with such joy and it felt like we would be erasing that part of our journey. Projects like Summers Off provide us with a connection to our creative spirit and each other. Thank you for listening. This season is extra special.

Indiana Jones 3: The Last Crusade

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...

Super cute show! I say epitome the wrong way too lol

Very entertaining

Love listening to Ty and Rach.  Informational and fun.

Infectious Fun!

Summers Off

Ever wonder what Martha Washington, Abigail Adams, and Martha Jefferson talked about in their early 1800's book club meetings?  Me neither, that's a different movie. In First Wive's Club, we talk about the true first women of America: Goldie Hawn, Diane Keaton, and Bette Middler.  Why does Rach have most of this movie memorized?  Who would Ty rather make out with?  Who does Rach want to play in a musical version?  We even get into a little Ivana Trump talk, which spurs Ty into dreams of daughter Ivanka after the tape machines stop rolling.  Plus, Ty sings...per usual...

First Wive's Club

Ty and Rach sit on opposite sides of the spectrum on this one.  Ty's undying love for fatalities, epic fight scenes, four armed monsters, and sexy Sonya ring out, while Rach tries to keep all these names straight and figure out if there's a plot. And did I mention for the first time in Summers Off history, RACH FELL ASLEEP!

With the school year just around the corner, Ty and Rach decide to revisit a much loved film: Moulin Rouge. A saucy Nicole Kidman and babyface Ewan McGregor are definitely worth a rewatch. It's a bit of a love-fest but let's face it... All you need is love! Talking points this week: Is the Duke hot or not? Is Nicole Kidman too pale? Does Ewan McGregor have extra teeth? And who is Qui-Gon Jim?  Tune in to solve these mysteries and more!

FINALLY, Rach takes over and slams Ty with all kinds of movie know-how.  Ty gets sappy and has moist eyes, Rach talks about love from the other side, Gerard's terrible Irish blends perfectly to Ty's semi-terrible Irish, and Rach tells the story of her sisters and her creating a new river outside the movie theatre right after seeing this movie.  Plus, we put to bed the question that has been plaguing scholars since Socrates and Aristotle.  Is Hilary Swank hot?  It's chick flick time at the Hudson household!

The Mystery Episode

This week we journey back to the golden age of teen movies... 1999. Possibly one of the most problematic romantic comedies of all time, Never Been Kissed packs a wallop.

Does the pedophilic teacher shoot sex lasers from his eyes?  Is Drew Barrymore hot or not?  What were our two hosts first kisses like?  Have either of them ever hit on their teachers before?  All will be revealed to you this week.

Friday Night Lights (TV Series)

Fireworks on this week's episode.  A beloved film to one of our hosts that means little to the other.  It's a brawl we haven't seen since Mortal Kombat. We have stories of contagious puking, Rach's secluded childhood, a Chunk who hated truffling and shuffling, bratty kids, bloody maps, real human skulls, and even more real waterslides.

The Goonies

What would Summers Off be without a fun baseball flick?! We talk about Geena Davis maybe being a genius, why Tom Hanks gained 30 lbs, who had the baseball skills and who was horrible, and what a punk Madonna is on-camera and off. Ty's experience as a baseball stud, Rach's favorite phrase "the pickle tickle", and Ty continuing to butcher quotes make this a fun one for the ages.

A League of Their Own

We sink back into the madness that was late 90s teen flicks.  It was a joyous time when a movie can take place all in one location with the coolest house party ever! Jennifer Love Hewitt commentary abounds as we discuss getting trapped in bathrooms, horrible haircuts, this amazing ensemble cast, and what characters we see ourselves as in this joyride of a movie. "True friends stab you in the front." ~ Oscar Wilde Our sponsor this week:  Preston's Pop Tarts
