Part one of hopefully two. Musicals, those song and dance ragtime numbers. Films with tunes worth listening to.

Best Original Song. What are the best songs written for a movie? Well it's time for Wade and Dave to answer that question, because a podcast about top five movies need a detour.

This movie has a bucket load of history attached to it. For nearly 50 years it has been in the cinematic zeitgeist.

For a movie that makes some WILD choices... it rocks! (Yes Dave also writes the episode descriptions, he does everything but move Wade's vocal cords to make his words sound). I mean what does the title even mean? Nonetheless a good time was had by all but a great time was had by Dave.It takes two to tango. (In perfect Arabic).
Will Wade redeem himself this episode? Why does Wade keep picking movies from 1994/5?Does anyone even read the episode descriptions?All these questions and more are covered in this episode.

"Why so serious?" "Well, Heath Ledger's Joker, this is no laughing matter. Its a big deal picking five funnies and talking about them." True dat. The hit podcast returns with a beloved classic. Comedy. Those movies where we laugh so hard we cry, snort or physically split our sides open and one of our ribs fall out tickling our tummies and slapping our knees. Listen as the boys argue of the most subjective genre in a subjective art, it's bound to go well. We had one chance to make a James Bond episode for 007 and we didn't take it [insert facepalm emoji].--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wadeanddave/support
Science Fiction, the final frontier. These are podcast recordings of Wade and Dave. Their Top 5 mission to rank good movies and have a laugh. To bolding go where a million other podcasts have gone before.Ah, science fiction the genre of UFOs, aliens and space. Of futuristic technology and lasers. The lads go long for this one (must be all that technobabble) where Wade is fighting of some form of apocalyptic illness and Dave is eating up Sci Fi movies like the Ravenous Bugblattered Beast of Traal. So much more than robots, spaceships and time travel, but if you could travel back in time you would obviously go back in time to before listening to this episode so you could experience this masterpiece of an episode for the first time, again, and again and again.So set phasers to stun, make ready the jump to lightspeed and enjoy.
