Season 1

Comedies: A Wild Rant, Bathrobes in Public and a Jennifer Aniston Theme?

The hosts each choose the 3 funny movies they would want to have if they were stranded on a deserted island. There are nostalgia picks and movies chosen for their ability to be watched over and over again. See if you've seen all nine of their selections, and see if you agree with the hosts on the topic of White Russians. And listen for the listener submissions at the end.

Food: Burritos Solve Anything, Disagreements on Pho, and Pizza the Size of Your Face

In this episode, those hosts discuss the three foods (plus a bonus beverage) they would bring along to their deserted island. This episode is from the vault because it was recorded months ago, when they were still lost without a producer. There are some classic disagreements over certain choices, but you'll likely leave hungry. Let us know whose islands you would visit based on the food choices alone. Still working on getting a copy of the recipe for the Bolognese, so show notes will be added later this week.

Authors: Top 3 Bibliographies, Putting Nerds into One Category & Thoughts on Dragon Romances

If you could take all of the works of three authors to your deserted island, who would you pick? The guys share their top 3 authors for the island. They also discuss genres and categories, how they consume literature, and Alex's appearance on the local news. Does Mitch like to read about elvin lovemaking? Which Stephen King character tops Justin's list? Find out the answers plus so much more in this episode. Show Notes: https://www.thedesertislandpod.com/authors-bibliographies

Celebrities: Venomous Snake Bites, Navigating Monkeynomics & More

Find out who met Dennis Rodman and what kind of vehicle Jason Sudekis uses around NYC while learning which celebrities each host would take to their deserted island (spoiler: it's not the two mentioned above). Does it make sense to bring people who can help you survive or entertain you? They debate that question and bring some unexpected celebs to their islands while also trying to figure out who falls into the "celebrity" category. Plus, Justin learns that his survival information might just get him killed in the wild, so definitely don't take any advice from these three.

Director's Filmography: Disagreements on Indiana Jones, A Tiny Bit of Paula Abdul & More

In the second episode, the hosts each select three directors' filmographies for their deserted island. There are a few disagreements and some hot takes on movies, plus find out which host gets to watch Paula Abdul's "Forever Your Girl" on repeat. The guys also cover movies that have made them cry and share some of the responses received on Instagram. Find out who you agree with most this week and weigh in, since we need the audience's help voting someone off the island. Show Notes: https://www.thedesertislandpod.com/directors-filmography

Albums: Top 5 Picks & Billy Joel's Camping Challenges

In the first (and possibly longest) episode, the three hosts share the five albums they would pack to listen to on repeat if they were stranded on a deserted island. Find out who chooses for emotion and who picks options for the vibe. See who you agree with most and discover some new albums along the way. Learn Billy Joel's thoughts on camping, an exclusive story about the band Sorry We're Not From Canada, and much more about the three hosts in this inaugural episode. Plus, you'll get some random tangents about how the hosts listen to music, whether or not any of them possess any musical talent, and find out which picks get voted off the island at the end.
