Rabbit Fighters invites you to join three pals as they embark on a cultural misadventure of a podcast. Each week, they randomly select a piece of media from the vast landscape of movies, music, and pop culture. Here's the twist: at least one of them hasn't experienced it before. Armed with just days to catch up, they dive into the chosen cultural touchstone, and then gather to discuss their thoughts, (un)surprises, and reactions. It's a poorly maintained rollercoaster ride of nostalgia, disc ...

The Rabbit Fighters strap their sympathy bellies on, don their wigs and aprons and go Full Mrs. Doubtfire as they discuss the truly bizarre and unlikable Ivan Reitman film, Junior.

The Peanut Butter Solution Recipe The culinary concoction of Michael Rubbo, this delectable French Canadian dish dates as far back as 1985. Most notable for its ability to make children misremember having eaten it at all, The Peanut Butter Solution has a way of sticking to the roof of your brain. Cooked atop the flame of immolated winos. You'll soo…

Join The Rabbit Fighters this week as we discuss Grant Lee Buffalo's 1994 album Mighty Joe Moon. Greg is "Ride Or Die" for GLB, and neither Joshua nor Brian had ever heard of them, which (statistically speaking) means 66.6% of you out there have never been acquainted either. (That's just math facts.) So tune up your Dobro, pop on an episode of Gilm…

The Rabbit Fighters get their briefs on and head to the gym to loudly discuss their illegal counterfeiting operation amid the general public as they review the 1985 William Friedkin thriller, To Live and Die in LA.

After a raucous Spring Break adventure to Señor Frogs, The Fighters triumphantly return! … OK, nobody invited us to spring break, BUT we did revisit the 2020 sci-fi action thriller, Tenet. Released mid-pandemic, this mind, time and narrative bending journey escaped the radar of at least two of our kin. Today, we right that wrong as we attempt to wr…

The Rabbit Fighters put on their best striped sweaters and fly high over Manhattan with The Pollen Jocks in this strangely misguided 2007 Dreamworks animated film crafted by Jerry Seinfeld and Steven Spielberg.

It's the year 2027 (gulp!) and no babies have been born for 18 years. People have collectively lost hope. Society is in ruins. There are riots, shortages, wars, nuclear attacks, migrants detained in cages, and an alarming uptick in the number of white people with dreadlocks! Our central figure, Theo, is a humdrum desk jockey played by Clive Owen wh…

In a first, the Rabbit Fighters welcome a special guest: noted podcaster and Weezer Apologist, Raman!

This week we find The Rabbit Fighters talking about everybody's favorite "so bad it's good/but it's also just kinda bad" B-Movie-with-a-huge-budget action flick, Paul Verhoeven's Starship Troopers. Is it a tongue in cheek send up of Robert Heinlein's love letter to military dictatorships? Is it a surprisingly deep commentary on how fascist ideology…

As the saying goes, "hell hath no fury like a nerd scorned for ska-punk." This week, The Fighters take the opportunity to revisit a beloved band from their youth.

Join the Rabbit Fighters as they debate the dark truths behind Big Duct, which was brought to light in the revolutionary 1985 smash hit documentary Brazil, by Director and Expat-Midwesterner Terry Gilliam. Just kidding. It's a dark, depressing tale of pointless jobs and crushing mediocrity in a soulless hyper bureaucratic vision of the past/present…

This week we find the Rabbit Fighters dissecting random pick Dirt, the seminal 1992 album by "Seattle Sound" pioneers Alice In Chains.

Bill Murray is asshole television executive Frank Cross, who is mean to everyone. He's also "Lumpy," the meet-cute former beau of Karen Allen's heart-of-gold social worker, Claire. As Christmas, 1988 approaches, along with a high-stakes live televised version of A Christmas Carol that Frank is betting on, art and life overlap as Frank himself is vi…

This week we find the Rabbit Fighters deeply divided over Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, the 2010 comic book/manga/video game/indie-music darling mashup movie. It's a visual feast that brandishes great tunes, wall to wall gags, and a deep bench of acting chops, but is that enough to overcome deep navel gazing and lack of character development? It's R…

Will Mookie go have a catch with his s…

Well, I think I should point out first, that in all fairness, we are not, in fact, the rescue committee. However, The Fighters have clandestinely assembled to view the controversial Monty Python production, Life of Brian. So, buy a bag a gravel, kick off a sandal and follow us blindly into a discussion about this 1979 comedy classic. Check out the …

The Rabbit Fighters strap on their stillsuits and walk without rhythm into the deep desert to tackle the always weird Dune... or at least the 1984 David Lynch version. A movie chock full of vagina-mouthed navigators and Gumby-suited death-time stabbers, which may or may not accurately reflect Frank Herbert's effed up vision of life in the way, way …

The Fighters discuss I Think You Should Leave - Season One. The absurdist Netflix sketch comedy show is either "Right in Your Q Zone," or it's "Pretty Meat and Potatoes." There's no middle ground.
