    We Build A Top 10 List Of Things Worth Reviving

    Watch The Video Version Here. We tried to make a simple nostalgia list and somehow ended up diagnosing modern life. We’re a family comedy podcast, so yes, we argue and roast each other, but the question is real: what did we lose while we gained convenience? Our Top 10 “things we’d bring back” starts with the obvious heavy hitter, common courtesy, and turns into a full-on debate about what public life feels like when everyone is distracted, impatient, and stuck in their own bubble. From there, we get into the bigger cultural stuff: marriage, commitment, and why long-term partnerships don’t seem to earn the same respect they used to. We also talk about having kids and the way society frames family life as an inconvenience instead of something worth building around. If you’re searching for honest conversations about modern culture, family values, and why people feel more disconnected, you’ll hear plenty to agree with and plenty to argue about. Then we go full nostalgia with purpose: real music with actual musicianship, story-driven horror like the Vincent Price era, and the kind of 2000s comedy movies that weren’t terrified of being funny. We miss malls that were real hangouts, Blockbuster nights that felt like an event, and even simpler phones that didn’t drag the entire internet into every moment. Plus: Pizza Rev, Taco Bell’s chicken crust taco, and other specific throwbacks that will either make you hungry or start a fight. Listen, share it with someone who misses the same things, and leave us a review if you want more episodes like this. What’s the one thing you’d bring back first?

    A Family Picks Their Top Ten Comfort Shows

    Watch The Video Version Here. You know that moment when your day is cooked, your brain won’t settle, and you need something safe on the TV just to breathe again? That’s the energy we’re chasing as we build our family Top 10 comfort shows list, the stuff we can rewatch a thousand times, quote in our sleep, and throw on as background noise when life feels too loud. Comfort TV is not the same as “best TV,” and we make that line very clear while we draft, rank, and roast each other’s picks. We each bring personal favorites to the table, then we negotiate a final list that includes heavy hitters like The Office, King of Queens, Modern Family, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine, plus animated comfort picks like Phineas and Ferb and Wallace and Gromit. Along the way, we debate what makes a show actually comforting: consistent seasons, familiar jokes, low-stress pacing, and whether you can genuinely fall asleep to it. We also admit the uncomfortable truth that a great show can be the wrong choice at night if it makes you anxious or pulls your full attention. After the rankings, we hit a bonus round with swaps, lock the final Top 10, then pivot to “what was good this week,” including Dragon Con stories, Rachel finishing The Bear, and a few wild media notes that feel very on-brand for us. If you’ve ever searched for comfort shows to watch, bedtime TV recommendations, or the best shows to rewatch, you’ll leave with a list, a framework, and plenty to argue about. Subscribe for more culture questions with comedy, share this with your comfort-show friend, and leave a review telling us your number one comfort show.

    We Build A Top 10 List Of Terrible Entertainment

    Watch The Video Version Here. Boredom hits, and suddenly you’re one scroll away from losing an hour or one “fun night out” away from spending money you didn’t plan to spend. We decide to stop pretending every popular pastime is automatically good and build a brutally honest Top 10 list of the worst forms of entertainment, using a hat draw to force the debate. The result is funny, a little unhinged, and way more relatable than we expected. We dig into doomscrolling and social media algorithms that are engineered for compulsion, including the infuriating reality of people scrolling while driving. Then we go after clout culture with pranks for views and the uncomfortable side of staged “kindness content,” where strangers become props and the camera becomes the point. We also talk reality TV and daytime TV as background misery that somehow keeps getting renewed. From there, we zoom out to expensive crowd-based entertainment: bars that attract bad decisions, outdoor music festivals that cost a fortune for sweat and long lines, and the cultural pressure to take little kids to Disney before it even makes sense. We even hit sports culture and sports betting, plus the creeping threat of AI music pushing out real artists. If you’ve ever wondered why certain “fun” leaves you tired, irritated, or numb, this one puts words to it. Listen, then share your own worst form of entertainment and tell us what you’d rank at number one. If you like the show, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review.

    A Family Builds A Top 10 Comfort Movie List

    Watch The Video Version Here. A comfort movie sounds simple until you try to rank it with your family. We chase the kind of movie that feels like a warm blanket, the one you throw on because you already know every line, and then we immediately derail into debates about what “comfort” even means. Is it the movie you’ve seen a hundred times, the one that makes you laugh no matter what mood you’re in, or the one you defend purely out of nostalgia? We turn the whole thing into a game by drawing titles from a hat and forcing ourselves to place each pick into a top 10 comfort movie list without knowing what’s coming next. That rule creates panic, bargaining, and truly questionable math as we argue over guilty pleasures, animated favorites, and whether a longer, emotional story can still count as a comfort watch. The list gets spicy fast: Over The Top sparks big feelings, Wreck It Ralph causes outrage, and the bonus round becomes a full-on negotiation. By the end, we lock in our final ranking: 10 Over The Top, 9 Wreck It Ralph, 8 Blast From The Past, 7 Chip ’n Dale Rescue Rangers, 6 Uncle Buck, 5 The Rocker, 4 Toy Story 3, 3 Step Brothers, 2 School Of Rock, 1 House Guest. Then we wrap with what was good this week and a sleep stream idea that should probably never exist. Listen now, share this with your movie-night group, and leave a review telling us your number one comfort movie and why. Fighting The Suck Since ©2026 Relatively Terrible

    Our Top Ten Non-Essential Essentials

    Watch The Video Version Here. Your “non-essentials” tell the truth about you. We put that to the test by building a shared top ten list of the non-essential things we refuse to live without and it immediately turns into negotiation, roasting, and a little bit of therapy disguised as comedy. From chapstick addiction to the comfort of mom’s cooking, we keep asking the same question: can you technically live without it, and do you actually want to? The list gets spicy fast. Coffee sparks a real dependency debate, grocery delivery becomes a time-saving hill worth dying on, and an adjustable bed somehow turns into a symbol of adulthood and back pain. Then we hit the truly controversial picks: TV to fall asleep to, dude wipes making a shockingly strong case for the top spots, and a Toy Story argument that splits the room. Through all of it, we keep circling back to one big takeaway: convenience, comfort, and identity matter, even when the item “shouldn’t” matter. After the ranking dust settles, we switch gears to what we’re watching and loving, including The Bear and the vibe of Lanterns, plus a quick chat about why Green Lantern still deserves a win. We also go off on End Of Oak Street, the cast, the wasted potential, and the few bright spots that almost save it. If you like family banter, pop culture takes, and a ranking episode you can argue with out loud, you’re in the right place. Subscribe for more, share this with a friend who has strong opinions, and leave a review with your own top three non-essential essentials. What would you fight to keep?

    We Rank Our Top Ten Fears And Roast Each Other

    Watch The Video Version Here. Bad drivers win our fear list so fast it’s honestly depressing. We sit down as a family and build a top ten fears ranking from scratch, which means we don’t just confess what scares us, we also interrogate whether those fears are rational, irrational, or just the result of one terrible childhood memory that never let go. The arguments get loud, the logic gets questionable, and the honesty hits harder than we expect. We get weirdly specific (yes, socks on stairs makes the list for a minute), then go straight into the big stuff: drowning and the pure panic of losing your breath, claustrophobia and the nightmare of getting stuck, fear of heights that shows up in real life more often than you’d like, and the anxiety spiral that comes with getting sick and realizing how fragile the body can be. We also talk about back injuries as a fear because pain can erase your normal life overnight, and we get real about money stress and the fear of being poor when responsibility is on your shoulders. After the bonus round locks in our final top ten fears, we change gears and try a few wild Target finds, including Buffalo Wild Wings flavored Pringles and Coors Light beer cheese Cheez-Its, with quick ratings and strong opinions. If you like family banter, comedy, and surprisingly thoughtful takes on everyday anxiety, hit play, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review. What fear would you put at number one?

    The Top 10 Worst Things About School From Lunch To Bullies

    Watch The Video Version Here. The fastest way to start an argument in our house is to say “school is the greatest invention of mankind,” because we can list a top 50 set of reasons it isn’t. So we turned it into a game: each of us wrote down our worst things about school, tossed them in a hat, and built a Top 10 list on the fly without knowing what was coming next. It gets chaotic, honest, and weirdly therapeutic. We go straight at the daily stuff that shapes student life more than any textbook: wasted time, troublemakers who derail the whole class, school lunch (including the occasional “this is kinda fire” exception), dress codes and uniforms that feel like a mood killer, and bullying that schools still struggle to stop. Then we hit the rules that make you ask who these systems are built for, including “Red Cup Green Cup,” a lunch policy where kids can’t talk for part of the period. Our #1 pick is the one that sets everyone off: bathroom access. We talk about why telling kids to wait isn’t discipline, why it’s not “real life,” and how basic needs should never be treated like a privilege. After we lock the list, we lighten things up with what was good this week: Spider-Man, X-Men ’97, a new burger spot, concerts, and the eternal debate over what counts as “new” music. If you’ve ever had a hall pass power trip story, a lunchroom rule that made no sense, or a school policy you still hate as an adult, hit play and then share your own.

    Marvel Top 10 & Spider-Man: Brand New Day Review

    Watch The Video Version Here. We decided to celebrate Spider-Man Brand New Day the only way our family knows how: by starting a fight with a blind-draft Top 10 Marvel movies ranking. We throw all our personal MCU favorites into a hat, pull them at random, and have to place each movie on a shared list with no clue what’s coming next. That means big swings, instant regret, and the kind of arguments only people who’ve rewatched these films way too many times can have. From Avengers Endgame’s “is it great or just the last hour?” debate to why Guardians of the Galaxy still feels like lightning in a bottle, we land on a final top ten that includes Infinity War, Avengers 2012, Captain America Civil War, Thor Ragnarok, Black Panther, and more. The bonus round gets brutal because once a movie moves, it’s locked, and the reactions are exactly as dramatic as that rule sounds. Then we shift into a spoiler-free Spider-Man Brand New Day review. We talk street-level Spider-Man energy, how Punisher plays off Peter Parker, the excitement of finally getting classic Hulk again, and the choices that work visually even when we disagree on villains, casting, or runtime. We wrap by rating the movie on our Relatively Terrible scale and comparing scores across the family. Subscribe to Relatively Terrible, share this with your favorite Marvel arguer, and leave a review with your own Top 10 MCU list and your Brand New Day rating.

    We Build A Top 10 Fast Food List Without Knowing What Is Next

    Watch The Video Version Here. A single fast food pick is easy. Ranking ten of them while pulling names from a hat, with no clue what’s coming next, is where things get messy. We build our family Top 10 fast food restaurants in real time, arguing value, freshness, “road trip reliability,” and whether a place you eat in secret automatically belongs at number ten. The result is part food review, part family comedy, and part strategy game where every slot you lock in could come back to haunt you. Along the way we get into the big hitters and the polarizing staples: where McDonald’s and Wendy’s really belong, why Raising Cane’s earns points for consistency, and why Shake Shack is the kind of quick service stop you should literally plan a detour for. We also talk about the fuzzy line between “fast food” and “quick service,” especially once Chipotle enters the conversation and everyone suddenly has opinions about what counts. Then comes the bonus round, and the gloves come off. Honorable mentions like Chick-fil-A, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, and Five Guys turn into last-minute power moves under a strict rule: one change each, and once a spot is changed it’s locked forever. We cap it off with “what was good this week,” sharing thoughts on The Odyssey, new shows, guilty-watch movies, chiropractor weirdness, and recent music drops. Listen, pick your side, and then help us settle it: subscribe, share the episode with a fellow fast food debater, and leave a review. What chain is your personal number one?

    We Argue Our Way To A Top 10 Shows List

    Watch The Video Version Here. A Top 10 TV shows list should be easy, right up until four people try to agree on one ranking without knowing what show is coming next. We dump our picks into a hat, draw them blind, and have to place each series on the board on the spot. That one rule turns a fun idea into a full-on family debate about what “best” even means. We get into comfort rewatches like Brooklyn Nine-Nine, long-running animated staples like Bob’s Burgers, and the risk of ranking an unfinished prestige drama like Severance. Then we hit the heavyweights and the lightning rods: Freaks and Geeks and its one-season legacy, the pull of X-Men ’97, and why Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad keep showing up when people talk about elite TV writing and character work. After we reveal the first draft of the list, we add a bonus round where each of us gets one move. That’s when honorable mentions like Arrested Development, Trollhunters, Gravity Falls, and The Bear shake everything up and we lock in a final family Top 10. If you love TV rankings, pop culture arguments, and figuring out what makes a show truly rewatchable, hit play, then subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review with your own #1 pick.

    We Try To Agree On A Top 10 Movies List

    Watch The Video Version Here A top 10 movies of all time list sounds like a fun family activity until you have to agree on one ranking with three other people who will absolutely call you out. We make it harder on purpose: everyone throws five movies into a hat, we only use films all four of us have seen, and we place each pick on the list immediately without knowing what’s coming next. That one rule turns a simple movie ranking into a real-time draft full of bad strategy, strong opinions, and a lot of laughing. The hat delivers instant curveballs: do you reward pure rewatch value like School of Rock, respect-heavy filmmaking like No Country for Old Men, or pure “this is a classic” energy like Back to the Future? We argue about what makes a movie truly great, where nostalgia helps or hurts, and why some titles feel unbeatable even when someone at the table is not impressed. Along the way we lock in rankings for Terminator 2, Project Hail Mary, The Muppets (2011), E.T., and Toy Story 3, then reveal the full list including our number one pick, Step Brothers. After the rankings, we do a bonus round twist where each person gets one change, which leads to a few satisfying fixes and a couple of choices that spark new debates. We also share quick personal highlights from the week and end on the kind of off-the-rails family banter you’d expect from Relatively Terrible.

    Listener Hot Takes On Movies Music And Culture

    Watch The Video Version Here. You can learn a lot about a person from one sentence, especially when that sentence is a hot take. We asked listeners to send their spiciest opinions, then we read them out loud and react with zero chill and just enough love to keep it fun. The result is a fast-paced comedy podcast vibe with real arguments hiding under the jokes: internet safety for kids, why online politics wrecks relationships, and how basic public etiquette somehow keeps getting worse. We bounce through pop culture and entertainment debates that always start harmless and then spiral: Marvel rankings, Batman Begins versus The Dark Knight, Wolverine as the “greatest superhero,” and whether The Office is the last truly great sitcom. We also get into a bigger conversation about modern storytelling, remakes, and movies that chase shock value instead of earning the ending, plus a few exceptions that actually feel fresh. If you’re into movie reviews, TV talk, and opinionated culture commentary, you’ll have plenty to argue with here. And yes, we go full chaotic with food takes too: Raising Cane’s being overhyped, tomatoes versus ketchup, Pepsi versus Coke, warm drinks that should never be warm, and the most cursed soda description we’ve ever heard. We close by sharing our own personal hot takes and letting the debate run.

    Why James Gunn’s DCU Stumbled With Supergirl (Spoilers)

    Watch The Video Version Here. Supergirl was supposed to be the next confident step in James Gunn’s DCU. Instead, it left us asking a much harsher question: how do you follow a strong Superman with a movie that feels like a side quest, barely connected to anything, and somehow less sure of itself than the franchise’s past mistakes? We talk candidly about why the timing feels off, why the story doesn’t earn its stakes, and why “we’ll care later” is a dangerous strategy in an era of superhero fatigue. We break down what actually works (yes, we’ve got thoughts on Lobo and why that casting has real potential) and what absolutely doesn’t. From kryptonite logic that collapses under basic scrutiny, to character choices that only exist to shove the plot forward, to uneven CGI that looks unfinished, the big theme keeps circling back to the same culprit: writing. We also dig into the movie’s identity crisis, where the tone and music cues lean so hard toward Guardians-style energy that Supergirl risks feeling like a remix instead of a distinct, well-drawn hero. Then we zoom out to the bigger argument: what DC should do next. Should they build slowly like the MCU did, make audiences fall in love with side characters before handing them a solo spotlight, or scrap the whole approach and let great filmmakers tell contained stories? We even pitch fixes we’d make to the plot and character introductions, and we close with our ratings plus what we’re enjoying this week when we need a break from messy superhero storytelling.

    Toy Story 5 Is Worth It (Spoilers Ahead!)

    Watch The Video Version Here. Toy Story 5 looks like it might be a tired sequel, then it hits you with real jokes, real heart, and a story that actually has something to say. We’re skeptical going in, but we come out arguing it belongs next to the original trilogy, with the kind of comedy that works for kids while adults catch the sharper lines. We also flag a spoiler point early, because we get specific about what made us laugh, what made us tear up, and what moments felt like classic Pixar. The big conversation is the “toys versus iPad” premise and why it’s more than a cheap headline. We talk about the movie’s surprisingly nuanced take on technology, cyberbullying, and how easy it is for kids to be cruel behind a screen while parents miss the signs. Jessie’s storyline becomes a standout, and the film’s callbacks feel earned instead of forced, especially compared to how disconnected Toy Story 4 felt for us. Then we hit our Dumb Hill segment: tiny grievances, bold claims, and the arguments we’ll defend way too hard, from animation choices to voice actor nitpicks. We wrap with our Relatively Terrible rating scale, final one-liners, and a quick “what was good this week” check-in that turns into a reminder to chase better movies, better moments, and more time together.

    Disclosure Day Review From Spielberg Hype To CGI Gripes

    Watch The Video Version Here. Spielberg drops a shiny alien “disclosure” movie, and we immediately argue about whether it’s a crowd-pleasing sci-fi thriller or a frustratingly familiar conspiracy story with a fancy coat of paint. We keep it spoiler-free at the top, then we jump into spoilers because the only way to talk about what works (and what absolutely doesn’t) is to name the scenes, the choices, and the big swing of an ending. We break down the pacing, the cast, and the sequences that actually feel fresh, especially the news station chaos and the train scene. Then we get into the stuff that made us stop and say, “Wait, explain that,” like the mysterious alien device, the half-defined rules behind the characters’ powers, and how much the film leans on ambiguity. If you love tidy sci-fi lore, you might rage. If you like space for interpretation, you might be impressed. And yes, we go there: the CGI animals. For a Steven Spielberg movie, some of it feels shockingly below the standard, and we talk about why bad effects can pull you out of a serious story fast. Along the way, we zoom out to the bigger themes the movie hints at: empathy, fear, institutional distrust, and how humanity reacts when the truth goes public.

The result is a fast, funny podcast Q&A that bounces from pop culture opinions to the kind of personal moments that sneak up on you when a family is talking honestly in the same room. We get into a surprisingly serious Favorite Batman debate, then zoom out to our 2026 highs and lows so far, including travel, family time, and a loss that puts everything else in perspective. If you’re into creator life, we also talk about what we’d be doing if social media didn’t exist, whether the internet makes us happier or just louder, and how books, shows, and communities find us through algorithms for better or worse. We also share a real update on the Uploads of Fun movie process: the unglamorous behind-the-scenes work, the writing, the logistics, and why crowdfunding is such a make-or-break moment.

    Why Daredevil Born Again Season 2 Feels Like Peak Marvel Again

    Watch The Video Version Here. Marvel finally gives us a season that moves like it has something to prove. We come in a little feral, argue about “Ozempic face,” and then get serious about why Daredevil Born Again Season 2 feels like a genuine step up: no filler, bigger story swings, and a finale that forces Matt Murdock to make a reveal that actually costs him something. If you have been missing that peak Marvel TV feeling, we think this is the closest the MCU has gotten in a while. We break down what works and what doesn’t, including the one stretch of bad CGI that looks rushed, plus the bigger issue that bugs us as Marvel fans: continuity. The Punisher setup from earlier stories feels oddly absent, and Punisher Last Kill doesn’t do much to connect the dots. We also debate whether Jessica Jones is a smart addition or just a distraction from the character we expected to see, and we spiral into the shared universe question of who should show up when Fisk is throwing chaos around New York. Then we get into the fun and the pain: Buck becomes our most hated villain, Daniel’s storyline turns into a surprising “top five character” hot take, and we give Wilson Fisk his flowers as a Kingpin who feels scarier than a cosmic threat because he could be real.

    Why Ozzy’s 1991 Comeback Still Hits Hard

    Watch The Video Version Here Is No More Tears Ozzy Osbourne’s peak, or just the best-looking chapter in a long legend? We don’t tiptoe around it. One of us calls it his peak album with zero hesitation, another hears a dated 90s sheen, and the rest of us bounce between admiration, annoyance, and that reluctant “fine, the production is great” respect that only a big rock record can force out of you. We dig into the 1991 context, the jump from earlier eras into the Zakk Wylde lineup, and why the guitar tone and pinch harmonics feel like their own character. We also get into the details that actually shape how a listener experiences the record: synths that either elevate the drama or instantly timestamp it, riffs that stand out versus riffs that blur together, and Ozzy’s unmistakable voice doing the heavy lifting even when we disagree on the songs. If you care about heavy metal production, classic rock songwriting, or what makes a track “sing-along metal,” there’s plenty to chew on. The conversation gets sharper when we hit lyrics and meaning. “Mr. Tinkertrain” sparks real pushback, “Mama, I’m Coming Home” gets misread in a way that makes everyone stop and reassess, and we talk about how radio overplay can permanently attach music to childhood memories, dentist offices, and retail jobs. Then we let it all explode in our “dumb hill” segment, including a full-on Ozzy versus Metallica Black Album argument, plus what we’d cut, fix, or shamelessly merch if we owned the catalog. If you’ve got a take on No More Tears, we want it.

    Daredevil Born Again Season 1 Verdict

    Watch The Video Version Here. Daredevil is back, and the first thing we notice is the impact: tighter filmmaking, nastier fights, and a street-level Marvel tone that doesn’t flinch. We ask the question people keep dodging, though: is Daredevil: Born Again Season 1 a real MCU comeback, or is it just an aggressively angry spinoff with better lighting and a whole lot of concussions? From the jump, we’re weighing it against the Netflix legacy and the uneven track record of Disney Plus Marvel shows. We get into what worked, what annoyed us, and what made zero sense. Matt Murdock remains an all-time compelling superhero lead, and Charlie Cox sells the character’s calm decency even when the action is brutally physical. We also unpack the details that make the show feel “real” for Marvel: sound design that highlights his senses, violence that has consequences, and a story that stays human-scaled instead of defaulting to aliens and sky beams. Then we argue about the problem baked into the MCU timeline: if this is New York after No Way Home, where is Spider-Man, and why does it feel like nobody else is on call? Wilson Fisk and Vanessa Fisk get their own spotlight because their relationship is its own kind of horror story. We talk manipulation, loyalty, trauma, and the way “vigilante” becomes a label that gets weaponized. We also hit pacing, including the debated middle stretch, and we finish with our favorite part of any family podcast: defending one ridiculous take each before we rate the season on our Relatively Terrible scale.

    Reviewing Bilmuri’s New Album Kinda Hard With Comedy And Brutal Honesty

    Watch The Video Version Here. A 35-minute album called Kinda Hard shouldn’t trigger a full-on debate about the future of heavy music, but here we are. We come in hot on Bill Murray’s latest release and immediately start swinging at the biggest question: is this real innovation in modern rock and metalcore, or just a perfectly executed bit? From production choices and super-clean vocals to riffs that blur together and choruses that refuse to leave your brain, we break down what works, what repeats, and what makes us laugh, squint, or both. We talk about the band’s genre blend of metalcore, pop-metal hooks, country elements, and that sax moment that turns heads. We also get honest about why the humor matters: sometimes a dumb joke is the door that lets real breakup lyrics and emotional sincerity walk in without feeling too exposed. Then we go bigger than the tracklist. We dig into why crowds seem hungry for music that builds community again, where people sing together and stop treating everything like a political litmus test. We pitch fixes (more weirdness, more orchestral textures, rearranged breakdowns) and we pitch cash-ins (limited city hats, plushie merch, beard oil, protein flavors), then we rate the album on our Relatively Terrible scale. We close with what was good this week, from Theo Von’s surprisingly vulnerable advice clip to Daredevil: Born Again, Deep Purple coming to Memphis, and a Final Fantasy VII Remake moment that made us do a double take. If you’ve listened to Kinda Hard, we want your verdict. Subscribe, share this with a friend who loves loud music, and leave a review so more people can find the show.
