What Do You Think [of This]?!

By: Jeff Abyad and Josue Escobar
  • Summary

  • We’re older millennials taking an honest look at the movies, music, and pop culture that shaped us. 🎬 You know that feeling when you show someone an old favorite… only to realize it’s not quite the cultural landmark you remembered? Let us take the hit for you. Each week, we revisit a “classic” — sometimes a shared favorite, sometimes a solo obsession, or a wild listener pick. 🎙️ We laugh, debate, and deliver our final verdict: Does it hold up — or is it pure nostalgia? 🎧 New episodes Thursdays + bonus chaos throughout the week. 📬 Got a memory worth revisiting?

  • Ep. 39: Album Review – Incubus’ Morning View (Phasers, Sitars & Sonic Memories)
    May 8 2025

    What do you get when Josue revisits one of his most beloved albums—and Jeff hears it for the first time? A whole lot of crunchy guitars, sitars, phasers… and frogs. That’s right: we’re talking about Morning View by Incubus.


    In this episode, we break down the layered sounds, angsty vocals, and deeply personal memories wrapped up in this early-2000s alt-rock time capsule. Josue brings the backstory, memorabilia, and genuine love for the band’s evolving sound—while Jeff wrestles with his first impressions of Brandon Boyd’s vocals... and tries to figure out why frogs close the album.

  • Ep. 38: Men in Tights, Mel Brooks & the Gen Z Perspective (with David Green)
    May 1 2025

    How do you explain a 1993 spoof film about Robin Hood to a Gen Z musician? You don’t—you just invite him to watch it with you. In this episode, Jeff and Josue are joined by special guest David Green, who brings his 23-year-old perspective to the Mel Brooks cult classic Robin Hood: Men in Tights. Is it absurd? Yes. Is it quote-worthy? Absolutely. Is it dated? Let’s just say… we’re still quoting it decades later.


    From anachronism-filled gags to Blinkin’s underrated brilliance, we unpack the parody, the pop culture legacy, and why even our kids were laughing (and occasionally very confused).


    Also in this episode:
    • The Middle Ages… or Not: A game of modern intrusions
    • Dave Chappelle’s breakout role (and perfect timing)
    • Robin’s accent, Cary Elwes’ smirk & THAT chastity belt
    • Is this the most rewatchable spoof of our childhoods?

  • Ep. 37: Quote Quiz Chaos [Mini-Sode] — Spoofs, Terrible Improv & a Surprise Movie Reveal
    Apr 24 2025

    Before we don our... well, you'll find out soon enough — Jeff and Josue launch this spoof-packed mini-sode with “Quote Me Like One of Your French Parodies”, a ridiculous quiz featuring movie quotes, Shakespearean drama, and deeply questionable impressions.

    Stick around for the big reveal of next week’s movie (hint: think tights, swords, and possibly singing) — plus an improvised scene set in medieval times that quickly spirals into chaos.

    This is our 5th Mini-Sode, and it’s filled with questionable acting, valiant guessing, and one very heartfelt VHS memory. 🎭📼🎤
