Last Call | Richard Karn Tells the Real Story Behind Becoming Al Borland Jun 17, 2026

Show notes

Actor Richard Karn, best known as Al Borland from the hit sitcom Home Improvement, joins The Next Round at the Delta Soul Golf Tournament for a wide-ranging conversation about his career, Hollywood, sports, and life after one of the biggest sitcoms of the 1990s.

Karn shares the incredible story of how he landed the role of Al Borland, why he wasn’t the original choice for Home Improvement, and how one life-changing year brought both the start of the iconic show and the birth of his son. He also reflects on hosting Family Feud, how fans recognize him today, and how sitcom production has changed from the classic network TV era to today’s streaming and short-form content world.

Plus, Karn discusses the rumors of a possible Home Improvement reboot, his admiration for Joe Namath, his love of golf, and his thoughts on NIL, the transfer portal, and how college sports have become more transactional than ever.

The Next Reel | Rotten Tomatoes Loved These Movies… We Didn’t Jun 16, 2026

Show notes

Just because critics love a movie doesn’t mean everyone else has to.

In this episode of The Next Reel, Lance Taylor and Tyler Johns take aim at some of the most praised movies of the last several decades with their list of Movies Critics Loved… But We Hated. Every movie discussed in the main list scored 85% or higher on Rotten Tomatoes, but Lance and Tyler believe some of these critical darlings are boring, overrated, overhyped, confusing, or just not as great as their reputation suggests.

The show also opens with recent movie talk, including thoughts on The Batman, Highlander, 10 Cloverfield Lane, Fast Charlie, The World According to Garp, and Disclosure Day.

If you love movie rankings, Rotten Tomatoes debates, overrated movie lists, film criticism, Oscar debates, superhero movie arguments, and hot takes on classic films, this episode is for you.

Tell us in the comments: what is the most overrated movie critics love?

TNR 6/16/26 - Hour 1 | Brendan Sorsby Ordeal is OVER, What Did Texas Tech LOSE? Jun 16, 2026

Show notes

Texas Tech Red Raiders quarterback Brendan Sorsby has decided to leave school and enter July’s NFL Supplemental Draft. This decision comes on the heels of Sorsby’s on again, off again eligibility for Texas Tech Football. The latest turn was the NCAA asking the courts for an earlier hearing date to try to expedite the ruling.

Where will Sorsby go in a Supplemental Draft and which NFL team should take a chance on the controversial QB?

What does this mean for Texas Tech Football and the rest of the Big 12?
