Ready Player One
Kahmeela, Robin and Sean move to a fancy new studio (shout out to iHeartMedia Pittsburgh!) to talk about Spielberg's moderately successful but REALLY busy 2018 nerd party! The movie is such a love letter to Sean's cinematic sensibilities that his reaction is obvious, but will Robin and Kahmeela join him? What of It Chapter Two? And let's draw our first Halloween special selection!

Private Parts
The king of all media rears his foul-mouthed and gorgeous-haired head, as the unlikely 1997 hit PRIVATE PARTS gets a not-so-fond look back! Will Kahmeela's mild loathing for Howard Stern override Robin's mild nostalgia? Why is Sean talking about Mr. Mom? Who or what is the Peanut Butter Falcon? All this and more!

Ocean's Eleven
A cavalcade of stars is here to execute an improbable and oddly food-focused Vegas heist! Let's see if early-aughts hit Ocean's Eleven holds up — will it become our top-rated film to date? Find out!

Ant-Man / Rocky III
We take our second trip into the Marvel Cinematic Universe to debate the place of Avenger Afterthought Ant-Man ... then, because no one was exactly stoked about doing a whole episode on Ant-Man, pivot to talk Clubber Lang, Thunderlips and the rest of Rocky III!

Goldeneye
James Bond makes his first NOMIA appearance, and Kahmeela sees her first Bond movie ever, as Pierce Brosnan takes over the franchise! Is there any one-liner too cheesy? Any sudden sex scene too unlikely? Do we completely ignore the iconic Nintendo 64 game, arguably a bigger cultural force than the movie itself? (It is, and we do.) Listen now!

What About Bob?
When What About Bob? was announced as the next episode, 3/4 of the gang screamed with joy. Did it hold up for Kahmeela, Robin and Aaron? Will Sean join in their celebration or be a damn grouch about it? All this plus a brief and totally unmotivated round of pop-music nostalgia!

The Incredibles 2
The most recent film delivered to us by the random-number gods is also the most successful. The gang tries to figure out how The Incredibles 2 is the 10th highest-grossing film of all time, and are surprised to find opinions splitting neatly along parental lines.
53m Jun 15, 2019
53m
Oh, God! You Devil
The gang tries to wrap their heads around a series of comedies that were never particularly funny, ending with "Oh, God! You Devil," a sequel about a rock star who cannot rock. Plus near-rapturous reactions to John Wick. (Note: We're aware that there are audio issues with this episode. Sorry about that! We'll have it fixed for the next one.)

Jagged Edge
Robin and Sean contemplate bad lawyerin', bad lovin' and bad Oscar nominatin' in their analysis of JAGGED EDGE, the 1985 grown-up drama with Glenn Close and Jeff Bridges! Plus, because they were left alone for five dang minutes, plenty of Oscar talk, and an analysis of Avengers: Endgame's world-beating box office.

The Sum of All Fears
The full Machine (Aaron, Kahmeela, Robin, Sean) reunites to figure out why Ben Affleck ... just is, really. He's one of the lesser Jack Ryans in THE SUM OF ALL FEARS, which brings the Cold War into the 21st century with admittedly terrible timing! But it's the movie that knocked Attack of the Clones out of the Number One spot, so ... you're welcome?

Guardians of the Galaxy, vol. 2
Kahmeela, Robin and Sean — all of whom are Groot, except possibly Robin, who doesn't seem very Groot on this one — take a trip to the very recent past, as the randomizer draws a current-phase Marvel movie! (Just in time for Endgame, so that's cool!) How does the crew feel about MCU's big ol' space adventure? Plus: A VETO GETS PLAYED!

Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
Sean, Kahmeela and Robin travel back into the foggy, distant past (the year 2006) to see if TALLADEGA NIGHTS holds up! Will the comedy power trio of Ferrell, Reilly and Cohen prevail — or is this one more of a product of its time? Shake and/or bake! Or do neither, we can't tell you how to live your life!

Invasion U.S.A.
It's Chuck Norris! Actually appearing and acting in a movie, not just being a quote that someone posted on your Facebook wall in like 2006! We're dealing with INVASION U.S.A., where the only thing standing between an ill-defined mercenary army and Uncle Sam is a denim-clad beardo! Robin, Sean and Kahmeela tear it down!

Elysium
After screwing up the veto process so badly that they landed on flippin' ELYSIUM, Robin, Sean and Kahmeela immediately revamp the rules for all future random movie draws. Anyway, boy is there plenty to complain about with this scifi mess! Is Matt Damon supposed to be Latino? They hope you won't think about it! Plus, if you thought we were frustrated BEFORE the Oscars, hoo boy!

Kiss the Girls
Ripped from the pages of a moderately successful airport novel, it's KISS THE GIRLS! The team considers Ashley Judd and Morgan Freeman's super-dark crime thriller, then runs into our first certified random-draw disaster when it's time to pick a movie for the next episode. Plus, frustrated Oscar thoughts!

Divergent
How to follow a debut so thoroughly soaked in Burt Reynolds? By absolutely hating on a recent disaster! It was the spring of 2014, and Americans were searching for a successor to the Hunger Games juggernaut. When offered a similar world with a similar lead, they said, "You know what, we're good." It's DIVERGENT, and it was ... THE NUMBER ONE MOVIE IN AMERICA!

Sharky's Machine
It's the debut episode of The Number One Movie in America, and we're going back to the beginning of the list. In the earliest days of 1982, Americans were sleepily walking into their local strip-mall multiplex and ordering tiny bags of popcorn, eager to watch Burt Reynolds ... stare through a window at a lady. It's SHARKY'S MACHINE, and it was ... THE NUMBER ONE MOVIE IN AMERICA!
