Having finally put their children to sleep, Dylan and Phil take some time to reflect on their own media consumption when they aren’t with the kiddos. We’re talking about bedtime routines, what we’re watching late at night, and the various addictions that have befallen our co-hosts. Apropos of nothing, does anyone know of any support groups for people who play too much Civ 6? Asking for a Phil. A friend!

It’s so wonderful when your kid becomes obsessed with a show you also really enjoy. Dylan and Phil swap storm damage, do a bunch of swearing right off the bat, and then dive into Big City Greens, a surprisingly sophisticated show about a country family moving to the city. It’s like Beverly Hillbillies, but they’re poor!

Phil and Dylan are friends! In their first sequel episode, Dylan and Phil spend some time ruminating on getting a new sponsor while discussing the cottage core show Frog & Toad. They also reminisce on D&D snacks, the super bowl, and Betsy Sodaro.

It’s finally here. The franchise that spawned an ear worm worse than Ceti Alpha 5. Dylan and Phil navigate a frozen musical wasteland, geek out over a friend’s accomplishment, and survive a pack of wild Tilda Swinton. And yes, that is also the plural, let it go.

Dylan Hood and Little Phil, recording another podcast, laughing back and forth at what the other has to say. Reminiscing this and that and having such a good time, oo-de-lally, oo-de-lally, golly, what a day.

Put down those iPads and switch off those Nintendos, it’s time for some hands on, educational fun! Dylan and Phil review their favorite places to take their kiddos indoors during Chicago’s slushy, eternal winters. From the Field Museum to Exploratorium, we go on a winding adventure rivaled only by Bob Newhart’s walk home.

Happy holidays! Did you think we’d forget about you? We got you a whole new episode of HOPC, wherein Dylan and Phil compare their end of year playlist statistics and then wax nostalgic over the now classic Nightmare Before Christmas. But what’s this? Phil is about to reveal hidden truths to Dylan about his son? What drama! You’re welcome!

Has it really been 20 episodes already? It feels like only yesterday Dylan and Phil were learning how to make a podcast in their basements, and now we’ve got a high octane retrospective of season one on our hands. Buckle up and study up, because you know we like a good pop quiz around here. Dylan and Phil recap every topic from this first season under the gaze of a strict timer.

On the verge of becoming a trilogy, the Trolls franchise has a chance to redeem itself from a weak initial offering followed by an excellent sequel. Finally, a chance for Phil to talk about the only music he’s ever allowed to play in the car ever again (send help in the form of pizza rolls, please). Also, an uninvited guest in the booth!?

We’re talking about the musician, activist, and all around cool dude Raffi! Get ready for some earworms. Plus we get to talking about a possible childhood fever dream…Timmy the Tooth.

We conclude our stay in Gotham City, and no tour of that fine monument to urban decay is complete without a French lesson, a painstaking review of the plot of the 1966 Batman movie, and some serious peer pressure from Kevin. Don’t smoke, kids.

Holy podcasts Batman! We’re talking classic 1966 Batman: The Movie in the first of a two parter. We join Big Talk Podcasts founder and Batman super-fan Kevin Alves, along with the voice that goes “Blah Blah Blah Big Talk” at the very end Kim Boler, to dig into Adam West’s Not-So-Dark Knight.

Ka-chow! Dylan has seen Disney/Pixar’s Cars approximately 74 times in the past nine months, but it turns out it’s ok because Cars is great! Phil and Dylan discuss Paul Newman and George Carlin’s highest grossing film ever, Cars.

Turns out there *is* such a thing as too much screen time! We explore a couple of cool options for pre-readers that don’t involve screens, but do involve invisible labor by the parent to make the magic happen. Jump into the world of story narration and expensive licensed characters that are Tonie Box and Yoto Player!

We’re taking our first dip into the wide world of Sesame Street this week with the perennial favorite, “The Monster at the End of this Book” featuring lovable, furry, old Grover. Phil and Dylan are definitely not scared of the monster that’s at the end of this podcast!

We’ve discovered the source of ULTIMATE POWER! We harness all the chaos energy our toddlers can throw at us to bring you this Master Emerald of an episode. We survive a 4DX movie showing, dig into some Saturday morning classics, and sing Pantera in Target. Gotta go fast!

Frog and Toad are friends. Phil and Dylan are also friends, and definitely not cops. We’re hopping all over in the world of Frog and Toad, and just like the stories, we end up going down some roads that just don’t seem to lead anywhere.

Have you seen Across The Spiderverse yet? Imagine a dimension where Funko Pops have super powers, and NYC has only 3 locations. We swing into the world of Spidey And His Amazing Friends, and into the psyche of our children who seem to prefer villains to heroes.

We're talking Dinosaurs and David Attenborough, along with T. Rex (the Band and the dinosaur), book recommendations, and fanfic?!?! This episode also features a cameo from our first guest, Rebel!

Friendship really IS magic! Phil gives his strongest recommendation yet for... My Little Pony? Wow, talk about a dark horse. Phil takes a newly gelded Dylan on a trot through the land of Equestria.
