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. Also: the podc ...

It's been a while as the boys have been doing some summer traveling, and, as tends to happen, that spawned an idea for an episode. You've got a long flight ahead of you, the plane's wifi is garbage so no work to be done, but you've got your trusty iPad and the in-flight entertainment; what's your go to movie? This week, Gen-X Jer and Millenial JT g…

This week the boys are hopping through time to pull out the best of the best in time travel films. Whether looking back to the future, or thinking about days of future past, this week is filled with wormholes and timelines and phonebooths? Some rules of time travel may be broken, and rules about the podcast most certainly will be, so join Gen-X Jer…

Whether it's Pops, Padre, Daddio or Dad (but not Father, ammirite!) last weekend was the time to celebrate all things Dad. So much so that the LoFi boys were out in the world being celebrated. But worry not, while gone they were thinking of all the Cinema-Dads out there and trying to comb through which would be the best. From ballroom dancing to de…

This week the boys are celebrating Pride Month! The impact the LGBTQ+ community has had on the arts is nothing short of astounding, so the LoFi guys are talking about the Top 5 movies that highlight members of or concepts from that community on this week's episode. From Happy to Heartbreaking, Jeremy and JT discuss the learnings and lessons taken f…

This week the spinning wheel of evil is back as the boys had to pivot from their original idea. And what does the wheel bring? Chaos for the JT the millenial, less so for the Gen-Xer Jeremy. But even with the 1980s being squarely in Jeremy's wheelhouse, the amount of RomCom's to choose from might surprise you. So whether you're sitting down with yo…

It's that time of year folks. Graduation. Summer birthdays. Memorial Day. It's PARTY TIME! So this week the LoFi boys are tackling the best parties ever thrown in cinema. Togas, Glow sticks, Fish tanks, Lasagna - what doesn't this episode have! So honey put on that party dress and mambo your way into another installment of the LoFi Top 5.…

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. Not being one for reviews, the LoFi guys instead created 5 favorite and least favorite moments from the newest film in Phase 4 from Marvel. Needless to say, this episode contains spoilers from the very beginning, so …

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 whoe…

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…

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.…

With the Oscars in our rearview mirror, this week the boys wanted to do a little retrospective on The Best Picture category. As it turns out, there are a LOT of winners that both Gen-X Jeremy and Millenial JT took issue with, and it starts all the way back in the 1920s. Jeremy does his 5 words on the fly, JT's list is in complete disarray, it's the…

This week the boys are going back in time, to the week of March 11th, for the release of Ryan Reynolds's new Netflix release "The Adam Project". Of course, the LoFi Top 5 is not a review show. Instead, Jeremy and JT have prepared some games, put together some questions, and come up with all kinds of opinions about the film. Expects lists, expect ti…

If you’ve ever been a kid, you’ve seen his movies. If you’re a grownup, you’ve seen his movies. If you even movie, at all, you’ve seen. his. movies! Folks get ready for your hosts to put aside their Millenial and GenX perspectives and dive deep into the career of the one and only Steven Spielberg. Today’s episode has JT and Jeremy each pick their T…

In honor of dear ol' St. Patrick, a Welshman though he be, the lads have a craic this week at the Top 5 Irish movies of all time. It's not all Leprechauns and Pots O' Gold in this episode, oh no. While JT took to the more classic pictures, Jeremy was more of a chancer this week. Did the boys make of a bag of the episode, walking away scarlet-like, …

This week the boys are back after Jeremy's vacation, so what better time to tackle the best vacations in movies than now! From the hills of Beverly to desserts of the Southwestern US to Europe to Hawaii, all manners of vacations are covered in this episode. You could take a plane, a train, or an automobile, as long as you're not home it counts. So …

Have you ever been scrolling through your favorite streaming service, seen a favorite actor or three, and thought "Oh man, this is gotta be good with this cast" just to be horribly let down? Well, the boys certainly have, and they've got a fair amount to say about it. So come Bond with the LoFi Top 5 guys as a Valentine's Day hangover, this episode…

It was the best of dates, it was the worst of dates. Today’s episode hits all ends of the romance spectrum but is focused on themes of some kind of courtship in movies. So whether it's ball pits in IKEA or colonics in 1990’s Los Angeles, we hit some of the best (and not-so-best) date nights in movies. Also, we announce some pretty big news about th…

While your hosts knew that in the week leading up to the Super Bowl we’d be doing a football episode, we definitely called an audible once we discovered… there are not actually that many football movies!? Worse yet, some of our favorites (well, one in particular) are really more of a perseverance coming-of-age story, so we had to take a knee on tha…

While there are no bleeps or blorps in this episode, we are in fact talking about robots. But not just robots, we mean the cool robots. The ones who smoke cigarettes in the high school boys' bathroom and wear leather jackets. OK, maybe not THAT cool, but it is what we’d refer to as… liquid cool.By The LoFi Top5 Movie Podcast

The 1990s introduced us to many legendary characters, from the kid who fights off the home invasion all the way to the kid who sees dead people. But which of those characters really had a cultural impact, and to whom? This week JT and Jeremy dive into the characters from the 90s who had the longest cultural impact on Millennials and GenX’ers.…

As much as most of us want to put 2021 as quickly into the rear view mirror as we can, JT and Jeremy still had a little unfinished business for the year. In a follow-up to last week’s self-referential which picks did we like the most, this time we’re addressing which movies we liked the most. If we do our math right, between us both we saw almost 1…

This is the second of our “meta” episodes in which we each pick our top 5 picks of other episodes. It’s a fun way for JT and Jeremy to look back on their work in 2021. Which is about the only thing about 2021 most of us really want to reflect on anyway. But back to the movies everyone, and listen to us talking about us talking to each other…?…

It's that most wonderful time of the year when the boys welcome listeners on the podcast to point out where they might have made some missteps in 2021. They get their annual dose of Mama Toeman who uses the platform to confess her love for an actor. Ryan drives through with some thoughts on the food episode. Both Beau and Jeff invite them to ponder…

This week your hosts take on a very special type of “in memorandum” episode, where we pick the best final performances. Which, if anything, painted a pretty clear picture: most famous actors/actresses do *not* go out on top. Jimmy Stewart? “Old Man” in 1980’s “A Tale of Africa”. Katherine Hepburn? Small part in 1994’s meh remake of “Love Affair”. B…

While your hosts actually hate most reboots, we have a good reason for that - Hollywood does a lot of rebooting of our favorite films. We maintain instead they should reboot the ones that weren’t so great. But also not the trainwrecks - instead those mediocre films. The ones you walk out of the theater and sorta shrug your shoulders and say, yeah i…

It's November, which means awkward mustaches (nailed it), enjoying the foliage, and emotionally preparing oneself for a blissful family Thanksgiving dinner. That means we’re doing the Top Families in Movies - not to be confused with Top Family Movies nor Top Families in Family Movies. We’re talking about the Hoovers, the Addams, the Burnhams, the J…

This week the LoFiTop5 guys experiment with a new format, “keep or swap.” In each episode, they pick a performer and evaluate their career in film. One of JT or Jeremy will pick the Top 5 Movies to Keep them in, meanwhile the other picks the Top 5 Movies to Swap them with someone else. In this first episode, our Gen X’er will defend 5 of the Cruisi…

This week it's all about the Upper Lip. The good ol' Snot Mop. The Mouth Brow. In cinema, the Soup Strainer has had a glorious, if not downright majestic career. There have been Pirates with the tiniest of crumb catchers, tokers with Grass Grins, and some internationals with full-on Face Furniture. But no matter the style, both Gen-X Jeremy and Mil…

On the eve of Halloween, nothing seems more fitting to sink your teeth into than the Horror movies. As you might know, Jeremy doesn't take much of a Shining to the genre, so the boys took it as an Omen to bring in a ringer for this episode. They did their best to keep the Screams to a minimum, but you might want to find a Quiet Place to listen just…

Whether it's bank robbers wearing ex-presidents’ masks, a princess imitating a bounty hunter, or a man somehow fooling his entire family by dressing up as a foreign nanny, there’s no shortage of clever disguises in movies. Then again, there’s just as many “she cut her hair a little short, but she’s not a boy!” or “single most famous person on the e…

Whether it's seven college friends having a reunion, five dudes cruising around LA looking for a good party, four pals in search of a dead body, or three friends fighting a plethora of gangs in Mexico, when buddies hang out, good times typically ensue. This could also take the form of inanimate objects meeting a new inanimate object or eight kids t…

It's time for another Top 5 list with the Honorable JT's presiding. This week the boys appeal to your more serious side, walking through the Top 5 Movie Lawyers ever to grace a screen. You might think it's the usual suspects, but when a few good men sit down to discuss the law in film, it can be a runaway jury...but we'll let you be the judge.…

While most film geeks like us know Citizen Kane was Orson Welles’ first feature film (though there’s a technicality and we talk about it), even we were surprised to discover some other absolutely amazing directorial debuts. In this episode, JT and Jeremy cover their top 5 favorite firsts, including some works by Rob Reiner, Sidney Lumet, John Husto…

We hope you have a healthy appetite for the latest episode - Top 5 Foodie Movies! As much as we pictured making lists of top food-related movies would be like a fancy breakfast buffet, it ended up a little closer to the high school cafeteria as far as healthy options go. JT summoned a few millennial-oriented tasty treats, while Jeremy struggled to …

We’ll bet you can't hardly wait for this week’s episode, which is definitely not another teen movie podcast - or is it? There are fast times ahead as your not-so clueless hosts debate their Top 5 High School movies. These lists are so good they’ll make you want to scream for a piece of American pie. With or without a cause, you can rebel against ou…

With the recent releases of Black Widow and Shang-Chi, your hosts decided it was time to have an episode about the Marvel Cinematic Universe. BUT, given there are two MORE MCU movies still yet to come in 2021, rather than a typical Top 5 ranking, we’re having a little fun. Instead of our traditional ranking, we’re making five different categories t…

This week JT and Jeremy really had to labor over the top 5 list - Top 5 Movies featuring babies. It wasn't an easy list to deliver, but they pushed through it. You might be surprised to see what 1980's movies don't make the list, and you certainly will be surprised what movies from the 2010's do. So while you're nursing your labor day Hangover from…

It’s clear that JT and Jeremy had the time of their life recording this week’s episode - Top 5 Original Songs from Movies, post-1985 edition. While all the stars clearly aligned for them to fight the power and do the right thing, it's a particularly good episode to lose yourself into. JT, repping the Millennial voice, went deep into 90s hip-hop and…

When it comes to making lists, nobody does it better than JT and Jeremy - and this week’s list is Top 5 Original Songs from Movies (released before 1985). While our gen-x host had no issues going down a holiday road, our millennial friend was barely staying alive to find songs from an earlier era. But, given the boys are always looking on the brigh…

Best fictional sports in a movie, sounds like a great category, amirite? Yeah, so, it isn’t, and the answer is BASEketball, and we’re going to move right along now and instead focus the episode on Top 5 Sports Comedies! This time around Jeremy’s “5 word clues” have a little rhyming convention to them, it’s sort of a shminderella shtory if you know …

While nobody can hear our podcast (or scream) in space, this week’s episode covers your hosts’ Top 5 Movies Set in Space. In a little “twist”, Jeremy avoids the entire Star Wars, Star Trek, *AND* Marvel Cinematic Universe for his picks so is forced to pick some other excellent movies. JT on the other hand has no such boundaries, and definitely gets…

What says "Summer Movie" like an epic battle scene? Nothing. The answer is nothing. And so this week, that's exactly what Jeremy and JT dive into. Both Jeremy and JT thought they had the other ones list pretty pegged walking into this, and somehow they were both right, and wrong. JT plants an anchor as a millennial, man, while Jeremy's Gen-X heart …

Whether its sending drillers into outer space to blow up rocks or using computer viruses to destroy aliens, there’s a lot of ways America gets represented in film. In this episode, your hosts consider their Top 5 Most ’Murican Movies. They don’t think it’ll take a Miracle to figure out some of their picks, you should be neither Dazed nor Confused w…

As maligned as sequels are, every now and then they get them - and then a third part - right. For every Hangover 3 and Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift, there’s an X-Men 3: The Last Stand or Alien 3. Er, wait, no - there are some good ones too, right? Spider-man 3? OK OK well, check out this week’s episode of the LoFi Top5 where JT and Jeremy reveal 5…

Your hosts are back this week, ready to talk about the actors and actresses they wish were back in Hollywood with the “career resurgence” episode! We’re talking child actors who never made it through the awkward stage, A-list celebrities who somehow lost their limelight, and some folks who may have gotten a little typecast along the way. Also some …

While Jeremy is on vacation, the reigns are off and for JT it's "All Eyes On Me". Without his buddy, he is doing something completely new, much like the Bo Burnham special he discusses. Whether this is your "Welcome to the Internet" or you're just looking for info on "How the World Works", this episode is sure to be better than a "White girls Insta…

As we hit the “52 weeks of Top 5 Lists” mark, we’ve decided to revisit or “reboot” the first episode we ever did - the “Most Rewatchable Movies” list. This time around both JT and Jeremy discuss some of their picks from last year and compare which have made the list again for 2021. We also address the origins of “the Shawshank”, have a long discuss…

For some people, roughing it means an hour without their phone, for others, it's having your FedEx plane crash near some unknown island and having sports equipment as your best friend. This week’s episode reminds us how far one can go on an all-potato diet and has us question if Goofy is or isn’t a dog. Also get some great perspectives on the diffe…

This episode has your hosts picking their Top 5 picks (so far) from their Top5 podcast! It’s a little meta, maybe a tad self-indulgent, but hey, we’ve picked almost 250 movies this past year - each - and we wanted to take a moment to reflect on our choices. Did Jeremy’s love for Amadeus, The Lord of the Rings, or Xanadu make the cut? How about some…

There’s not a person in the business of show who isn’t familiar with the name George Lucas. Beyond the obvious - Star Wars - his contributions to cinema are legendary. In this episode, Jeremy and JT use all their midichlorians to identify the Top 5 George Lucas Creations. And this time around, it’s not just movies, our extended universe of Lucasism…
