Cable Was The Babysitter

Solo pod for Uncle Ron today, I talk some Shiz about Ridley Scott's "The Last Duel" and why you should under no circumstances watch it. I make a plea for the return of "The Newsroom" and then spend an hour on "Moneyball" and frankly could spend another hour on the A's and their team from that year. 

Uncle Ron, John, and buddy Brian sit down to discuss the classic comedy "Airplane" Starring Julie Hagerty, Leslie Nielsen, and a host of other funny folks. We answer the tough questions, like "Would this be funny now?" and have some rather surprising results. Come hang with us, and join us on twitter @CWTBpodcast

Uncle Ron and John sat down with comedian and all around amazing dude, Drew Morgan @drewmorgcomedy www.drewmorgancomedy.com to have a talk about the 1994 Earp Brothers epic, Tombstone. We had limited time due to a mixup, so our ep is a little short. We decided it would be a nice bonus for our latchkey kids and we'll likely revisit this film again in the future.
