Sometimes we rank things like the greatest albums of all time, but today we rank the songs that would make us dramatically remove our jacket before getting immediately knocked out.  That's right, we're discussing and debating the best songs to fight to!  On this episode, we debate the loudest riffs, hardest beats, and most glorious and violent anthems in music history.  Because every playlist deserves one track that make you feel like a hero...even if you're just heading into a meeting with HR.

Some movies stick the landing.  Others drive straight off a cliff, explode, and somehow still roll credits.
This week, Formidable Opponents dives headfirst into the most baffling, rage-inducing, and unintentionally hilarious movies ever put on film. From endings that make absolutely no sense to finales that somehow manage to ruin two hours of perfectly good storytelling in under five minutes, nothing is safe!
Warning: Contains spoilers, cinematic slander and emotional damage for fans of certain "masterpieces."

This week Formidable Opponents dives into the near impossible question: what is the saddest song of the 1990s? From grunge despair and acoustic heartbreak to emotionally catastrophic funeral ballads, the episode revisits a decade when every music video looked like someone had just lost custody of a payphone in the rain. Join us for a "deeply scientific" exploration of sadness, nostalgia, and why the 90s somehow turned emotional collapse, cargo shorts, and visible depression into multi-platinum albums.  And remember, Everybody Podcasts.....soooometiiiimes.

This week, we’re diving headfirst into the sacred cinematic dojo to crown the greatest movie mentor of all time. From wise, cryptic legends to wildly unqualified chaos agents, we break down the icons who shaped heroes, delivered life lessons, and occasionally committed light emotional damage in the name of growth.
Is the best mentor the one with discipline and wisdom? Or the one who just yells, throws you into danger, and hopes you figure it out?
We’re talking:
– Tough love 
– Training montages that definitely violate labor laws
– Mentors who disappear at the worst possible time
– And the real question: would we have survived their “lessons”
Class is in session. Bring your towel… and your trauma.

This week on Formidable Opponents, we tackle one of the most important questions in human history: "Who made you want to throw your remote at the tv the hardest?"
No villains.  No "love to hate." Just pure, unfiltered irritation.
Voices get mocked and catchphrases get examined as we debate and discuss which tv show characters should be banned from existence....and somehow, by the end, everyone is mad at each other and themselves.
Hit play and prepare to be irrationally angry again (and not only because of the mislabeled episode number in the intro and the mispronounced words on this episode).
