A.I. EP. 149: “Your Mother’s An Astronaut” - White Men Can’t Jump 30th Anniversary Apr 21, 2022

Show notes

Maybe you saw the reunion of Woody Harrelson, Wesley Snipes and Rosie Perez at the Oscars…it was the biggest thing that happened that night…the reason they got together was because White Men Can’t Jump just turned 30 years old.
Our good buddies Niko Del Rey and Jules Cruz from The Filharmonic have just started a basketball podcast called Full Court Fresh. We told them to pick a basketball movie that’s having an anniversary and we could do a little cross promotion and that’s how we decided on White Men Can’t Jump. They have some super fun, hot takes in this, much like the takes on their new podcast.
We end this episode with a Starting 5 and our Patrons can watch us draft our Top 5 Favorite Athlete Cameos.

Show notes

We finally got our good buddy on the show, Mr Chris Chatham! Most of you who follow Home Free are familiar with Chatham as he ends up in a lot of Home Free behind the scenes videos. Super talented and funny dude that just so happens to love Grosse Pointe Blank. It is celebrating 25 years of existence and since it’s a favorite of Chatham’s, it seemed like the perfect time for him to make his Avid Indoorsmen Debut.

Show notes

We were thrilled when we heard CODA won the Oscar for Best Picture! Mostly because we knew we wouldn’t have to do an episode on The Power Of The Dog. Also because it is a beautiful story that touched our hearts. We had a blast breaking down this Best Picture Winner.

A.I. EP. 144: “You Gutless Wondah!” - Strictly Ballroom 30th Anniversary Mar 17, 2022

Show notes

Last year we both lost the Oscars competition we play every year, The Grouchies, to Carolyn Schult and she made us watch Strictly Ballroom. We decided since it’s having a 30th anniversary that we would just do a whole episode on it!
Since this movie revolves around dancing, we brought back a guest who dances in competitions all over the world, our buddy Chris Rupp. We got some great dancing insights and shared a bunch of laughs during this episode.
We conclude with an Imitation Game and our Patrons can watch us draft our Top 5 Dancing Movies.

Show notes

We love Liar Liar and it just so happened to be Jim Carrey’s first leading role playing a somewhat normal person. It came out 25 years ago already and we brought back someone who enjoys this movie as much as we do, one of our favorite humans, Broadway/TV/Film Actor Benny Elledge. Had too much fun with this one.
