About this listen

Funny and intense arguments about what is "the best" in the world of movies, music, sports and everything pop culture from three guys who have known each other our whole lives. A formatted head to head (to head) to settle the score, once and for all on everything ranging from best one-hit wonder to best sports scandal. Formidable Opponents covers a wide array of interesting topics and breaks them down in a round table discussion as each of us defends and debates our individual takes on the topics we all love to hilariously argue about. formidableopponents@gmail.comTwitter: @FOpponents Instagram formidable_opponentsFacebook: Formidable Opponents Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/foropponents© 2026 Formidable Opponents Art Music

  • Most Annoying TV Show Character
    Apr 6 2026

    This week on Formidable Opponents, we tackle one of the most important questions in human history: "Who made you want to throw your remote at the tv the hardest?"

    No villains. No "love to hate." Just pure, unfiltered irritation.

    Voices get mocked and catchphrases get examined as we debate and discuss which tv show characters should be banned from existence....and somehow, by the end, everyone is mad at each other and themselves.

    Hit play and prepare to be irrationally angry again (and not only because of the mislabeled episode number in the intro and the mispronounced words on this episode).

  • Worst Song By a Band We "Hate"
    Feb 23 2026

    We all have that band. The one we pretend we've never accidentally Shazamed. The one whose fans scare us just a little.

    and yet...

    Somehow.

    Some Way.

    There's is one song that absolutely slaps.

    In this special, "Not my Cup of Tea" episode, we confront our musical hypocrisy and publicly admit the tracks we secretly love from bands we loudly claim to despise. Is it growth? Is it betrayal? Is it just a really good chorus?

    Expect heated debates, reluctant praise, and dramatic confessions. We'll break down why the band drives us nuts, and why this song escapes the curse.

    Because sometimes the worst band writes the best song...and sometimes we were wrong (but probably not).

  • Worst Song By a Band We Love
    Feb 9 2026

    Send us a message and get a shoutout!

    They say even the greatest bands can’t go undefeated and today, we’re reviewing the blooper reel.

    This episode is a loving roast, a public service announcement, and a reminder that your heroes are human. We’re diving headfirst into the songs that made us say, “Wait… this is on the album?” The tracks that stopped the momentum. The weird experiments. The ill-advised ballads. The “who let them cook?” moments from bands that otherwise changed our lives.

    We debate whether context matters, whether nostalgia can save a bad song, and if a single misstep should ever be forgiven when the rest of the catalog absolutely rips. Expect passionate defenses, reckless slander, historical revisionism, and at least one moment where someone says, “No, you’re just wrong.”

    Your favorite band is safe.

    Your favorite song is not.

    Headphones on. Feelings hurt. Let’s go, as this week...Formidable Opponents debate and discuss, "Worst Song by a Great Band."
