We all have a movie we’ve seen a million times and can recite by heart. Playing Favorites with Shane Lennon puts that to the test! Every week, guests will join Shane to talk about a film that is strongly ingrained in their being, and then attempt to recreate the movie, using as much dialogue and as many plot lines as they can remember. Shane will do his best to keep up and keep it right, but he makes NO guarantees.

For the final week of season 2, we went big. Shane is joined by Talia Bernstein (9JKL), Alex and Sarah Franklin (Trust the Bachelor Process podcast), Tiffany Tomaszewski (The Guilty Remnant podcast), and Kristen Zublin (Booch improv) and we take on one of our collective favorites, ‘Mean Girls’.
The Goblin Boys and a boy-goblin (Shane) remake the magic of ‘Aladdin’!
Note: Shane accidentally keeps calling Abu ‘Apu’ the whole time and he’s deeply sorry.
Dana Cox, Rachel Forman and Katie Plattner of the improv group Goblin Boys come on to do Disney’s foray into the Middle East, ‘Aladdin’. We discuss first crushes, Dana and Rachel’s Dominos + ‘Aladdin’ after school routine, Raja’s gender, ‘Moana’, the whole “Genie, you’re free” meme from when Robin Williams died, who counts as a Disney princess and Shane’s disdain for Aladdin’s voice.

Discussion | Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion w/ Allegra Ringo & Rachel Hastings
00:19:57
Rachel Hastings (Bob’s Burgers) and Allegra Ringo (Can I Pet Your Dog? podcast) are both so lovely and funny, so of course they brought on the lovely and funny (and weird) movie ‘Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion’! Together they discuss taking the movie seriously, Mira Sorvino’s insane accent choice, the lack of female buddy comedies, wondering who sets up high school reunions, who we went to high school with and why we live in big cities with tiny houses.

00:49:08
Dickie Copeland and Joel Jensen (UCB’s The Dragons) are back for some more Tolkien, y’all! This time it’s ‘The Two Towers’ and we have a LOT to say about it. Some things covered include the sparse use of Haldir, problems with Faramir and choices taken differently than the book, more fantastic Orc lines, how great Aragorn is, Eowyn’s awful singing, some Hobbit shit-talking, and mostly, our favorite parts.

Recreation | Signs w/ Henry Lennon & Will Lennon
00:59:15
Them Lennon’s do Signs!
Note 1: I know Bangladesh is a country, I’m sorry.
Note 2: The joke I claim no one will recognize is from ‘Rocket Power’

Discussion | Signs w/ Henry Lennon & Will Lennon
00:23:36
It was a no-brainer to have Shane’s brother Will back, as well as their cousin Henry to do M. Night Shyamalan’s last good movie, ‘Signs’. They all love this movie despite it’s faults and have seen it many, many times. Discussion includes a terrible fan theory about demons, having to admit Mel Gibson is good in it, Michael Showalter’s cameo, and mostly just really breaking down why this movie is great.
