Episode 168: Comedy, Chaos, and Pop Culture: Exploring Metal, Movies, and Random Bullshit

It's Everyday with John and Jay

Take a wild ride through the chaotic minds of John and Jay as they navigate everything from indie horror films to metal music breakdowns in this unfiltered exploration of pop culture's strangest corners.
The hosts kick off with an enthusiastic analysis of "Finley," a short horror film featuring a hilariously incompetent killer puppet who struggles to murder his victims until they threaten his beloved cat. "I wanted more of this," John declares, praising the puppet's emotional expressiveness while lamenting the short's brevity. Their mutual excitement for this hidden gem reveals their appreciation for unique, creative approaches to familiar horror tropes.
When the conversation shifts to music, prepare for an authentic listening party as the duo introduces each other to metal bands like Wage War and Dead by April. Their genuine reactions—complete with air drumming and spontaneous commentary on pitch harmonics and electronic elements—create an intimate experience that feels like discovering new music with friends. John's confession about screaming along to metal songs in the shower adds a relatable, humorous dimension to their musical exploration.
Television and film recommendations round out the episode, with particular enthusiasm for "AP Bio," starring Glenn Howerton as a disgraced Harvard professor teaching in Toledo. "Dude, the show is so good," John insists, highlighting the similarities between Howerton's character and his iconic role as Dennis Reynolds in "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia." This leads to a highlight reel of Dennis's most unhinged moments, including his famous Range Rover meltdown.
