https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-4nyf7-10aa88b Actress and host of the podcast Take Me Into the Ballgame Ellen Adair brings us into the imagination of Terry Gilliam  From Charles Barkley to John Cleese, this broad-ranging episode also does include some baseball movie talk, because, look, who do you think we are? In the 14th minute, I refer to Jonathan Pryce […]

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-9na99-10a1382 There’s plenty to discuss from this horror/comedy that spurred a million, increasingly bleak sequels, brought to us by fellow journalist and oh yeah also Will’s wife Reem Nadeem. This is also our first Kevin Bacon vehicle, bringing the podcast to within one step of the man himself. So let’s take a little trip to […]

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-pzbkg-1098060 Shpaysh: The final frontier. This is the story of the Jupiter moon colony Io, the lawless mining colony it supports, and the whiny American child somehow born to two British parents. It’s also a space-set version of the 1952 western “High Noon,” brought to us by this week’s guest and amateur astronomer Greg Redfern. […]

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-hcpex-108ee1f What do you call a comedy that’s not funny, an attempt at edginess with no edge, and a film stuffed full of unlikeable characters that you’re not actually encouraged to hate? In our case, you call it “Go,” the 1999 piece of cultural refuse brought to us this week by guest Chris Dionne. We’d […]

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-y83mw-1084fa7 The pod wishes a Happy Rex Manning Day to everyone who celebrates as we welcome guest and rule-breaker Tony Panzera and his film, the 1995 coming-of-age comedy “Empire Records.” Liv Tyler and Renée Zellweger have turned out to be the biggest stars from this one, which also features Anthony LaPaglia and Debi Mazar, among […]

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-qu87a-107c127 In this throwback comedy, brought to us by Action Cookbook newsletter writer Scott Hines, Bill Murray inserts himself into a relative stranger’s life and insists himself on the rest of the proceedings, uh, not at all something Bill Murray would actually do in real life. I incorrectly identified Ep. 6: Hanks for the Good […]

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-vv836-10730ec First off, a hearty thanks to this week’s guest Anagha Srikanth, who rejoined us for a second recording of this episode. Thankfully, the audio quality should be much cleaner moving forward (at least starting in a few episodes). If you haven’t seen it, this is a sports movie based on a true story from […]

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-6ay8w-106a532 To give you a little peek behind the #ITILTM curtain, we’ve had to do some creative juggling due to some unforeseen technical issues. But that doesn’t mean we don’t have a new episode for you this week. Or, in non-double negative speak…here’s your new episode! Friend and fellow podcaster Rory Murphy joins the fun […]

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-zecux-1060dcc Internet writer Alex Maisey helps us bring some sunshine to this mostly overlooked but critically acclaimed sci-fi offering, featuring Rufus Sewell, Jennifer Connelly, William Hurt and an extremely eccentric Kiefer Sutherland. Of note: We watched the original version, not the director’s cut, as we try to do with all of these. Also, this film […]

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-sjnyd-1055f2f We Scrooge McDuck dive deep into the vault to pull out this 90s relic, brought to us by guest A.C. If you’ve never heard of this film, that’s because it’s almost impossible to find, outside of unlicensed YouTube streams. Written by and starring Alex Winter, along with Brooke Shields, William Sadler, and an uncredited […]
