Listener Reviews

Love the content, but often I can’t hear the quieter speaker. I hope they find a way to equalize and compress the vocals

Also, I’d like to suggest Faith No More ‘The Real Thing’ vs. ‘Angel Dust’. The band is a personal favorite of mine and I think it would be cool to compare the different sound and feel of both albums.

This review is a long time coming. I have been a long time listener and love this show!! Jason and Dee have great chemistry and they do great research for their shows. I prefer the film episodes to the music, but I always learn more from the music episodes! Case in point: the Hotel California episode. Great show and highly recommended.

This pod keeps me interested every second. Love the content and knowledge gained from this. This has added so many interesting facts to my pop culture obsessed mind.

I discovered this pod after seeing Tom Keifer of Cinderella perform and searched for a podcast to hear all about his new album I was so excited to find a review and all the backstories and tidbits from their album from the ‘80s. I enjoy the back n forth from the hosts and upbeat and sometimes emotional (“I got goosebumps”) views on music and movies. Great work Guys!!!

My favorite podcast! I look forward to every episode! The guys pick great topics, provide interesting information (and a heck of a lot of it), while not taking themselves too serious (hence the title!). They travel down all kinds of wormholes just like you do when having discussions with your friends. The episodes aren’t too long so you can usually listen to a full show without having to stop then pick it up again.

This is an amazing show. I love the content that you bring to every episode I’m glad to find people that share. They seem love for movies and music as I do. Keep up the great work

Great podcast, hate that im just now finding it

You know you have found something good when the hosts sound like you and your friends discussing these topics. The guys bring great energy and enthusiasm for every topic and they always blend funny personal anecdotes with factual historical details. And they truly keep politics out of it which I really appreciate. Thanks guys!

I fell down a rabbit hole with the Top Gun Soundtrack pod which led me to the Top Gun movie pod, the Maverick pod and from there I could not stop listening to these guys. I’m a music and movie trivia fan and the cadence and chemistry is awesome. I love how the music is laced into the movie pods as well. Keep em coming please! And maybe catch Point Break one day!

I love this podcast! These two guys make it feel like they’re talking directly to me about the music and entertainment I grew up with. They bring back so many great memories, and their conversations are fun and easy to listen to. It’s like hanging out with old friends who love the same songs and stories from our generation!

Great episode with some pleasant insight that a self proclaimed super fan of both films did not know this episode is something many of my friends have argued over which film is better both are great and iconic.

I enjoyed the Nickleback vs Creed episodes. You guys hit all the highs and lows of both bands. I owned both debut albums and thought both had potential but was disappointed with their subsequent offerings. I like Creed more but agree that Stapp got too full of himself.

I’ve been bouncing around various episodes in your feed and it brings me back to a place and time that I cherish and miss deeply. I was along with the Rolling Stone bashing Creed. That was undeserved. Those lyrics are amazing and hit me hard today during a workout. We grew up together, gentlemen. I welcomed my kits with arms wide open. We can heal through bringing us back to those times. We were so much more unified in that culture. May we bring it back. Take us higher. Thank you for what you are doing.

Anybody can claim to know a lot about 80’s and 90’s pop culture, but these guys really know what’s up. Whether tearing apart the inexcusable (Superman IV, Jaws 3D), praising the undeniable (Heartbreak City), or pitting the titans against one another (Raiders vs. Back to the Future) rest assured you’re getting the results of a meticulous deep dive on the subject matter. You will NOT be disappointed.

I love the Great White episode. Took me back to the 80’s, before marriage, kids, and wokeness. Thanks for picking great topics to discuss on your podcast.

Pros : great research, great topics, great lists and great energy between the hosts. These guys really do the leg work behind the show and teach me so much that I did not know. They’re also funny and the production value is to notch Cons: I wish I had discovered them earlier as they could have been bringing joy to my ears a few years earlier.

I really love this podcast. The movies they select are fun and the hosts are entertaining. This is one of my faves.

I’m on the road a lot and just found this pod cast. Went back and downloaded about 30 older episodes. Simply amazing!!!

Due to my job, I travel a lot, and as a result, I listen to a lot of podcasts. A few become favorites, but only one has become an absolute must-listen every week: Surely You Can’t Be Serious. It is an absolute blast every week to listen to Jason and Dee explore all the best in ‘70s, ‘80s, and ‘90s pop culture. Every episode is full of fun facts and obscure trivia that enrich the overall experience. The hosts themselves are obviously friends, and the show has such an easy, conversational tone that it’s easy to imagine yourself sitting at the local watering hole with them, debating the best Toto song. If podcasts were mountain ranges, SYCBS would be a Mt. Everest, with a few others reaching the heights of a Kilimanjaro and the rest left standing glumly on the Serengeti plains, hoping they themselves will one day reach those heights. Here’s to many more years of this fantastic podcast!

This is right in my wheelhouse- I love the track by track album discussions. Looking forward to more.

This is some much needed high quality Gen X content from my peers. But how dare you make me tear up at that Anne Murray song? No seriously I really loved the 1978 songs episode. Keep up the good work.

Good job on the cars episode! The Maximum Overdrive truck and the Lone Wolf McQuade Supercharger were spot on!

A must listen every week. Jason and Dee are smart, funny, and always prepared. They tell stories that make you learn more than you ever thought possible about the best of the 80s and 90s.
