We Lost an Episode, $100K Courtside Seats, and Dry June Begins | Midlife Crisis Ep. 54

We’re back, baby—and somehow Dry June already has us feeling dangerously clear-headed. This week, we kick things off with the lost episode that never made it out of the group chat, then get into why Michael Jackson might be having a full-blown Gen Z resurgence, whether reading is actually an attractive hobby, and why movie theaters might officially be back. From there, we run through our summer movie watchlist, including Scary Movie, Toy Story 5, Supergirl, Minions and Monsters, The Odyssey, and Spider-Man: Brand New Day, before jumping into gaming, TV, NBA Finals predictions, NFL offseason chaos, Lucha Libre storytelling, and the hot take that gender reveal parties have completely lost the plot. And to close it out, we draft the top five things we’d rather buy than a courtside ticket to the Knicks vs. Spurs NBA Finals—because if seats are going for $40K to $100K+, we’re taking Costco hot dogs, two years of rent, a private chef, and maybe a Times Square billboard instead. As always, it’s sports, pop culture, bad financial hypotheticals, and two lifelong friends overthinking everything just enough.
