The LoFi Top5 Movie Podcast
Every episode, hosts Jeremy Toeman (@jtoeman, representing #genx) and JT White (@thebsideoflife our #millennial) take on a unique #LoFi Top 5 list, with an assemblage of nostalgia and some surprising insights into filmmaking and storytelling. Their ever-evolving format includes "the Shawshank" (the undebatable category definer), a guess-that-movie-by-a-five-word-description game, and a few rounds of "contender pong" for all the entries that didn't make the Top Five final list.

LoFi Top 5 - 93 - The 80's RomCom Episode

So whether you're sitting down with your Breakfast Club (is it a RomCom??) or grabbing some Mystic Pizza, let's see if the boys Say Anything that makes a Splash.

LoFi Top 5 - 91 - The Multiverse of Madness Episode
In this universe or any other, there was just no way that the boys couldn't do an episode on Dr. Strange - The Multiverse of Madness.

See witch camp Jeremy and JT fall into on this weeks LoFi Top 5.

LoFi Top 5 - 90 - The Great Movie Mom's Episode
Mum. Mummy. Mama. Madre. Mother....well, maybe not Mother, but whatever your preferred name is, nothing says "love" like a great Mom. This week, the boys are rifling through their movie Rolodex to find the shining examples of motherhood in film. Some might be incredible, some are quiet, some are simple, and some are downright super heroes. But whoever they are, this week the LoFi Top 5 honors the title that is "Mom" in the best way they know how - a list of movies. Happy Mother's Day all!

LoFi Top 5 - 89 - The Cars in Movies Episode
Camaros, Corollas, and Countaches, oh my! This week the LoFi guys are talking cars. But, as per usual, not how you might think. This episode isn't about car chases or car races. This is all about how the car was used in a movie. From a rusty ol' Gran Torino to a 1960s bus to some true classics, a lot of ground (get it) is covered this week. And one of the boys gets to really nerd out on auto's...but which one? You'll have to buckle up and tune in to find out!

LoFi Top 5 - 88 - The Surprise 90's Action / Adventure Episode
SURPRISE EPISODE! This week, after a series of events, the boys had to do something different. Something quickly. Something surprising. So Jeremy went onto the interwebs, found himself a spinny wheel, loaded some genres, loaded some timeframes, and the LoFi Top 5's very first 10 mInute Top 5 was done. 1990's Action Adventure lists in 10 mins folks. A Mission Impossible...maybe? But these musketeers are prepared to hunt for the best dang Top 5 they can. So listen in this week to see just how much research the boys NEED to do to make a list work, it might surprise you (see what I did there)."
