Thanks to our listener Justin for the suggestion for the topic/topics for this week's episode! Sorry it took us MONTHS to get around to it!

We also play a Calculus Rhapsody…

We're almost to the end of the year, and it's time for the final Fast and Furious movie of the year! It's Fast X this week, and it's a bonus sized episode! And hey, we know there's a lot of Wicked talk at the top, but we record these 2-3 weeks in advance, so it wasn't out yet and we didn't know how good/bad it was yet! Cut us some slack! And we pla…

We made it to 300 episodes! We've been doing the show for over 5 years and boy oh boy what a milestone! So to celebrate, we did something insane! Look down at the playhead for this episode.

It's time for a concept! Yeah, y'all have had it too easy for too long with all these easily graspable topics! Let's get into something more abstract! The simple machines! Ya know, from physics??

Just pick a tit…

We're zigging where you thought we might zag this week and continuing SeptemBourne by covering The Killers (maybe worst?) album Battleborn.

You can contact the show at agoodpodcast@gmail.com and find u…

The original audio issue has been fixed! So sorry for the VERY late upload! Things have been a little crazy over at HSWII Inc.

We also do a classic HSWII textual analysis …

We've got Mission: Impossible and baseball expert Ethan Krupp on the show this week to discuss the latest Mission: Impossible film that we somehow neglected to cover last year when it came out.

We covered Fury Road last week, and we're covering Furiosa this week. In a strange twist of fate, Josiah and Mike actually...disagree?? You'll have to listen to fully understand. And enjoy the game FuriNOsa and FuriYESa! You can contact the show at agoodpodcast@gmail.com and find us @HowStarWarsIsIt on all platforms. You can also follow Mike @MikeG…

Almost 10 years too late, we're finally covering Mad Max: Fury Road. Why?? Because Furiosa came out recently. Well, it was kinda recently when we recorded this. And now it's ancient history. Listen, I don't have to explain our process to you, you get it. We also play the IMDB game! It's a great ep! Enjoy! You can contact the show at agoodpodcast@gm…

Sorry for the late upload on this one, it's been a busy week!

It's the end of the month, so you know what time it is! FF time! And WOW, we're halfway through the year and (mercifully) halfway through these movies. If you couldn't tell from my tone, we're turning on these movies now. This is our heel turn. Maybe we're just oversaturated with them, who knows. But I'm DONE. And we play Only Connect! It's great. …

This week, we've got special guest and friend of the show Steven Shinder on the podcast to discuss his favorite band and incredibly influential music group, Yes! Steven gives us possibly our most comprehensive episode to date, and Mike delivers a classic confusing HSWII game. Enjoy! Check out stevenshinder.com for all of Steven's novels and project…

This movie came out like a month ago, we covered it 2 weeks after it came out, and now the ep is finally out 2 weeks after THAT. So there's spoilers for it, sorry! It's also a very short episode compared to our usual fare because we had technical difficulties. Sorry about that! The patreon is extra long this week, though, so go check that out if yo…

This week, we're talking about the lake. You know, the lake! No, not any specific lake, although those all do count in the overall lakeyness of the lake. But yeah, just the lake. Got it?? We also play a continuation of the HSWII RPG inspired by the lake. It's a fun ep. Enjoy! You can contact the show at agoodpodcast@gmail.com and find us @HowStarWa…

It's the end of the month, so it's time for the next Fast and Furious movie. And we've got some HOT takes, maybe? Please let us know if this take is hot. This episode is about Fast Five. It's supposedly when this franchise gets "good." We'll see about that. We also play a BRAND new game! It's a great ep! Enjoy! You can contact the show at agoodpodc…

This episode gets a little silly. We go off the rails PRETTY hard, hence the multiple titles. Technically this ep is about live television, but really it's about how we were on the news a couple of weeks ago and how Josiah has a business idea. And we get another installment of the HSWII RPG! You can contact the show at agoodpodcast@gmail.com and fi…

That's right! It's time for another FOOD. We're filling out the HSWII menu by talking about chicken tenders this week. We even play a BRAND new game inspired by the topic, never before seen on HSWII.

It's the end of the month, so it's time for another Fast and Furious movie! This time, we're dropping the "the's" for the fourth installment in the franchise, Fast and Furious.

We've completed our collection of Star Wars Minute hosts this week by having Alex Robinson on to discuss outer space! Our discussion is wide-ranging but definitely covers SOME space stuff, for sure. We also play the Star Wars Minute game and Alex absolutely destroys. Thanks to Alex for joining us this week! You can find Alex's work at alexrobinson.…

Technically this episode is about french fries. Technically. In reality, it's mostly about juggling a million pickles and Homestar Runner fan fiction. Which means it's one of the best episodes yet? We also do a bracket for what the best fries are! It's great. This ep is one for the books. Enjoy! You can contact the show at agoodpodcast@gmail.com an…

We somehow have NEVER covered a Beatles album, despite us both being fans, and despite us talking about THIS album many times before, and despite us talking about the Beatles many times before! So we picked Sgt. Pepper's to start with! Maybe we'll do more of these! We of course also play Smish or Piss. Enjoy! You can contact the show at agoodpodcas…

We're just a month behind in covering Dune: Part Two, but cut us some slack! We don't do this professionally so everything is a little delayed. We had to see it, schedule a guest, record it, edit it, and then upload it after the other eps that were already scheduled, and that takes some time! But I digress. We have a guest this week! Fellow dunatic…

It's the end of the month, and you know what that means! Time to jump back into the Fast and Furious franchise! We're covering the third entry in the franchise, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. This movie is ridiculous. And also apparently takes place in 7 years after it was released for some reason. Who knows. We also get another installment…

We for once are following up on a topic we said we should do in a recent episode! The 2003 family classic Holes came up in the "Nothing" episode, and here we are covering it this week! It's a great episode where we kinda come to an impressive conclusion about Star Wars?? And we continue the HSWII RPG. Enjoy! You can contact the show at agoodpodcast…

Hahahahahah we did an episode on nothing. That's FUNNY. It's a great episode. It doesn't get AS contentious as "Circles" got, but we do get into it. We also play Only Connect and discuss Hank the Cowdog at LENGTH. Enjoy! You can contact the show at agoodpodcast@gmail.com and find us @HowStarWarsIsIt on all platforms. You can also follow Mike @MikeG…

Sorry for the bunch of random noises in Josiah's track! He's been having some recording issues lately. ANYWAY. We're talking vacation this week! Why?? Why not!!!

It's time to reveal that we are covering the Fast and the Furious franchise, one movie at a time for the last week of the month, each month this year!

It's been a long time coming, but we finally did it. Long-time listeners will know that we've only ever lost two episodes of the show due to technical difficulties. Those episodes were on "Circles" and "Our 20's". They were REALLY good episodes and it was such a bummer to lose them. But we figured it's been long enough. We've healed enough, we've g…
