This week we delve down into the psyche of one of the most unstable persons around, a #FatheroftheBride. Yes, the one person who is both the keystone on which an event occurs (or at least his credit card is) and the “leaf on the wind” which blows wherever the wants and needs of the bride take him. Yes, we’re watching the 1991 #SteveMartin version up against the 2022 HBO #AndyGarcia remake of a remake. Along with this you’ll get bizarre TikTok sandwich stories from Josh, #CricketFacts from Pat and even more. Join us as we walk down the aisle to give away the “Father of the Bride” show!

ALSO! We will be going on a break for a bit, and will be back online around Labor Day. If you’re looking for more 40 Going On 14 goodness, be sure to delve into our back catalogue at www.40go14.com or check out our socials on our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages.

We’ve been pouring over these TPS reports from Michael Bolton regarding an upcoming waffle party. Based on this, we have determined that it’s time to record our show that features discussion of the classic Mike Judge film #OfficeSpace and the #AppleTV+ show #Severance.   Do they really compare? Did Ben Stiller really direct the episodes? How many pieces of flare are truly required? All of these secrets will be revealed!   Don’t sever our connection! Instead, listen to this show and find out the truth! Patricia Arquette will possibly even shake your hand. It’s everything that you want it to be.

Mike, Pat, Joel and Josh are the kindest, warmest, bravest, most wonderful human beings you’ve ever known in my life…. or so #AngelaLansbury has taught us to believe. (#MerylStreep too!) This week, we’re enjoying ladies guild’s hydrangea arrangement presentation or is it ‘The Manchurian Candidate’? The details are unclear, but #DenzelWashington and Frank #Sinatra will help sort it all out. Put away the playing cards and ignore anyone calling you by your full name, because we need you focused. It’s our ‘Manchurian Candidate’ spectacular!

It’s a tale as old as time. Aliens come to our planet. Humans try to befriend them. Aliens shoot the humans. War begins. This week, we’re boarding the storybook train for H.G. Wells classic story ‘War of the Worlds’. Mike, Pat, Joel and Josh are discussing the finer points of the 1953 Byron Haskin film adaptation vs the 2005 #TomCruise and #StevenSpielberg update. While not as much dogfighting as in #TopGun, there will be loads of shooting, vaporizing and bird law, as it’s us vs the suction cupped fingered them. Who will win this ‘War of the Worlds’?

What do Sid Caesar and The Kids in the Hall have in common? Why were these comedy heroes resurrected by a guy in a towel? When did Shakespeare become so bloody funny?   You’re going to have to tune in to this very Canadian #KITH episode of ’40 Going On 14′ to find out! We all have our comedy heroes. Even our heroes have heroes. For a lot of comedians out there, these guys are their heroes. (That word has no meaning now, after saying it so much.)   Either listen to us first or watch the new series on #Amazonprime and binge the original series and then listen to us. No matter how you do it, you’re going to end up saying for the rest of the day, “I’m crushing your head!”

If you’re not familiar with Lucille Ball, you may have been living under a rock for the past 70+ years. For this very special episode, we’re revisiting the classic TV sitcom ‘I Love Lucy’. We’re also fast forwarding to the recent Amazon Prime biopic from Aaron Sorkin called ‘Being the Ricardos’.

All four of us grew up with wacky antics of Lucy, Desi, Fred and Ethel. We laughed, we cried and we all wanted a job at a chocolate factory. But there is so much more to this story. So much behind the scenes.

If you thought you knew Lucy, you may be in for some surprises. Get ready to stomp some grapes, drink some Vitameatavegamin and hop around on ledges with George Reeves aka Superman. We love Lucy and you should too!

What’s the magic behind a good TV theme song? It can make or break a show and is your first impression of what’s to come. It can also cross over and become a Billboard hit song, unless you’re the theme from ‘Star Trek: Enterprise’, but that’s another story. On this memory show, we’re digging into the finer points of the show intro. Which one is our favorite? Which one makes us rage quit the series? Well, after our own intro, you’ll find out! At this point, there are so many earworms in my head, I don’t think I’ll ever get them out. With all of that being said, take a listen…. if you dare.
