UTR: Two Dollar Late Fee

Funny guys Zak Shaffer and Dustin Rubin are the hosts of the Two Dollar Late Fee podcast. They are so entertaining that every episode, we half-expect this voice acting and producing duo to announce they’re taking their show on the road. 

Although they focus on interviewing the actors, directors, writers, and composers who made top-notch 80s movies the gems we know and love, their wit certainly deserves equal top billing.

The entire production is entertaining, episode after episode. Hilarious movie clips get the show going. “Merci buckets” is such a common phrase across the interviews that one guest referred to it as part of an “international language.” And then there’s the bit of bravado in the intro that never fails to make you smile—“Before there was IMDb, there was Zak and Dustin.”

Having said that, it’s a treat to get insights into the journeys of 80s superstars like Oscar-nominee Eric Roberts, legendary actor Ed Asner, and Rocky IV composer Vince DiCola.

The hosts’ dedication to spreading positive vibes, happiness, and humor is heartwarming. Is there a better way to share joy than through 80s nostalgia? I can’t think of anything better.

If you’re a child of the 80s, you’ll love the Two Dollar Late Fee podcast. Take a listen today.
