Teaser: Members Only Mailbag July 2024

Welcome to the Judge John Hodgman Podcast.

It's me, producer Jennifer Marmer, and I'm back to let you know that a new members-only mailbag episode is in the bonus content feed right now.

What movie did your family watch over and over growing up?

For the Marmer family, Beetlejuice was definitely in heavy rotation.

So in this clip from our July Membo mailbag, Jesse, Joel, and John talk about the movies that their families watched on repeat.

Jesse, you've got some children.

Are there movies that they just want to watch over and over and over again?

I mean,

yes.

In my daughter's case, she always wants to watch like a Sharknado movie.

There are a lot of Sharknados.

Like, should I watch them from the beginning or should I watch like Sharknado episode four, A New Hope First?

No, you shouldn't watch them.

At all.

No, okay.

I have seen a Sharknado, actually.

I saw Sharknado one.

Sometimes somebody is in there and you're like, you know what?

They bring a lot to the table in this terrible movie.

And which one, which Sharknado was that?

No, I'm not talking about one of the Sharknados.

I'm talking about one of the people in the Sharknado's because they got a thousand people in every Sharknado, you know.

Right, right, right.

And then sometimes somebody, you're like, yeah, this person's great.

They're doing a great job.

This movie sucks.

Joel, you ever watch a Sharknado?

Never even heard of it.

You watched

that main scary horror movie,

A Plague of Scallops?

Yes, that's what I'm watching right now.

Scallop Blizzard, I think it's called.

When Suzzy was little, we watched a lot of chick flicks.

Chick flicks?

Like what?

Mean Girls?

Mean Girls?

Yeah.

Was that like something that was re-watched a lot?

No.

No?

No.

For our family, we all watched a lot of sound of music and a lot of Wizard of Oz.

And And in fact, our daughter, who is now a graduate of college and is home briefly before starting her independent life

in an unnamed American city in three weeks,

the other night I was falling asleep.

No, I was woken up at 2 a.m.

by the sound of my favorite things.

No, excuse me.

How do you solve a problem like Maria?

My daughter had been out at a bar with friends and came home.

She's like, I just want to watch this movie again.

Middle of the night.

And all I wanted to do was get up and watch with her, but I had to exercise restraint because it's her life now.

That's her movie now.
