Mac N Cheese Movies

They're on a cross country adventure to the world's greatest product placement for Nintendo. We watch Fred Savage, Jenny Lewis, Christian Slater and Beau Bridges in "The Wizard." We talk Top 5 Classic Video Games, how easy it looked to runaway in 1989 and the cinematic beauty of the Power Glove. It's just so bad.

They're under the ground. Mac N Cheese Movies discusses "Tremors", tactical solutions and if Kevin Bacon is the MVP of his own movie. We have smoked bologna and beans because we feel like Val and Earl would eat that.

In this episode we talk about the two Coreys and "License To Drive." A movie about the life changing effect of failing your driver's test.

Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn go to four homes for Christmas while we eat chicken wings. We talk about both stars at their peaks, problems on set, how the movie is better with adjusted expectations and our five Top Holiday Songs.dd

Those aren't pillows. Happy Thanksgiving as we celebrate "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" and talk about John Hughes and his move to adult films (not those kind), Steve Martin, John Candy and the three hour cut we never got to see.

Get busy living or get busy dying. Today with a Prison Ramen Sandwich that will keep you clear of being behind bars, we talk about the "The Shawshank Redemption." Frank Darabont refusing to sell out his script. Rob Reiner's shepherding it through. All the names that wanted to be in this movie. How it was the 95th highest box office earner in 1994 and has had the longest tails of any movie ever made. Join us as we talk about what we'd have Red sneak us into prison, which posters we'd have on our wall and Top 5 Prison Movies.

Actor Mark Rolston came on to talk about playing Commissioner Gordon in the game "Batman:Arkham Shadow." It's not just saying your lines in a recording booth anymore. The rigor of the performance and things actors have to deal in video games now is on par with live theater. We also talk about "The Shawshank Redemption" for its 30th anniversary.

In honor of our movie "Coming To America" we have McDowell's Cherry Pocket Pies from Sweet Ten Twenty Dessert Bar with Tamarasha Smith. Her version is called the Sweet Ten Twenty Cherry Puff Pastry. Tamarasha and I want to go to Zamunda next summer. We're shocked this movie is "R" rated but believe it is a perfect film. A fully loaded cast is throwing heaters with Eddie Murphy leading the way. The studio mandated a white comedian be in the film. Eddie Murphy and John Landis clashed on the set. We talk about all of it on this episode with our Cherry Puff Pastries.

We visit Progress Pizza in Wichita Falls and talk to Chef Kyle Dalka about his culinary journey, the crazy places cooking has taken him and starting from scratch in a town he'd never been in. We also talk about "The Bear" Season 3. Is Carmy the villain? Will Syd take the ownership deal? What's gonna happen at the end of the series? We talk about all that while Kyle serves us up Cacio e pepe, Texas brisket with homemade bbq sauce, baked potato salad and Texas pinto beans.

We saw "Twisters" on opening night and made Oklahoma burgers. Did this movie deliver the hype from the Super Bowl commercial? Does it showcase Glen Powell as the movie star we deserve? Missed opportunities for some performances plus are CGI Tornadoes suspenseful?

Welcome to the suck zone. We have Aunt Meg's Gravy meal that took two days to make. The gravy is famous it's practically a food group. Eminent rueage at Mac N Cheese Movies. We talk about the tornado chasing playlists, Jan De Bont, Steven Spielberg and Bill Paxton. This movie is about science and the ultimate sin of the 90s....selling out. Would Garth Brooks have been good in this movie? One thing we took away is gravy might be the best thing to come out of this movie.

Actor/Director/Writer/Editor Adam William Ward comes on to talk about his new tv show "Bad Advice" available on Tubi. The show is about three dim witted know it all friends and their wacky landlord live in South Bay Los Angeles where they spend their days surfing, dating and struggling to make money all the while giving each other terrible guidance on how to succeed. When your circle of friends are this dumb….you don't need enemies. We talked about shooting television during the pandemic. 100 locations, 54 days of shooting plus 100 actors was much easier than directing "Wally Got Wasted."

Mark Rolston and Jenette Goldstein share their experiences on "Aliens" including the audition process, the cast camaraderie and why we love these characters so much. Mark and Jenette have been all over the world and received love for their iconic characters and how multigenerational "Aliens" is. An unconventional movie for mothers and their children.

When we reviewed Season 2 of "The Bear", we did something we'd never done. We interviewed a chef while they're working on a busy night. Chef Patrick Street from Pelican's in Wichita Falls talked to us about cooking, passion, the grind and the cost of what it takes to cook in the restaurant business. The night's specials included Alaskan Halibut Grilled Alaskan Halibut seasoned with lemon pepper and served with sauteed green beans with tomato and onions and fried red potatoes. Hot Honey Salmon Grilled salmon on top of fried honey bacon brussels sprouts and drizzled with Mike's Hot Honey. Fried Alligator Appetizer Crispy fried alligator served with a creole aioli and sauteed peppers Togarashi Pork-Shank Appetizer Three fried pork shanks tossed in a spicy togarashi BBQ Sauce.

In this episode we discuss Season 2 of "The Bear" in the run up to Season 3. We talk about passion, the price of perfection and family demons. All that with the roller coaster of starting over with the juice running.

We ain't afraid of no ghosts, especially when we got Ecto Cooler, NYC Chopped Cheese Sandwiches and a big Twinkie. We talk about the original Ghostbusters, how Sigourney Weaver elevates the film, if Eddie Murphy would've made the movie better. Can any movie take the risks the original Ghostbusters took or is all about the toys?

You're so money and you don't even know it. Scotty, Joel and James talk about the indie darlings of the 90s and "Swingers." Not the ultimate pickup movie but the ultimate dealing with a breakup movie, Vince Vaughn, Jon Favreau. Zoot suits.

Hi Barbie! Scotty, Shannon, Sam and John saw "Barbie" at the Alamo Drafthouse together in full cosplay and later recorded a podcast about it with burnt toast and existential crisis. We talk about bringing people back to the movies. How the boldness of Greta Gerwig and the greatness of Margot Robbie fought to get this on the big screen. The feminism and the patriarchy of this billion dollar hit.

Kicking off Season 2, we start off with "High Fidelity" and have some Chicago Dogs. Is Lloyd Dobbler a Trojan horse for Rob being a jerk? What kind of mix tapes did you make and what is this generation's music experience like compared to ours?

On a cold December morning, we were at the Wichita Falls Arts Alliance Holiday Artist Market where we talked to some of the artists and directors about their favorite Christmas movies as well as coming up with an idea for a Hallmark Christmas Movie.

In the final episode of 2022, we talk about "Silence of the Lambs" while having lamb chops, Bush's Best Sidekick beans and a nice Chianti. We talk about how the restraint of the film makes it great and the powerhouse performances that work together in concert to give us this immortal classic. Would you want Hannibal as your therapist? What would a Gene Hackman Hannibal be like? Would the movie be as good with Michelle Pfeiffer as Clarice?

With steak sandwiches charged to the Underhills, we talk "Fletch" and Chevy Chase's prime.

Scotty and Ben talk "John Wick: Chapter 3-Parabellum" with all the cod and talk about how long Keanu Reeves characters and his love interests would last in the John Wick universe.

Join us as we talk about everything from what if Seth Rogen was Goose's son to how Tom Cruise is the Pearl Jam of movie stars. Last time, we had a wing contest that Ben Ice Manned his way to the trophy. This time in 2022, we did Buffalo Wild Wings Honey BBQ- my Talk To Me Goose staple, Nashville Hot like this movie, Carribean Jerk cause of all the flight moves and Wild which describes our title character: Maverick.

With some fake mouthwash snuck into the dorms, Sam Steen and I talk about 1991's "Toy Soldiers", the start of the "Die Hard" model for Hollywood and Sean Astin's sliding doors action career.

Greta Gerwig's "Little Women" with bread machine bread, olives, nuts, fruit bowl and a charcuterie board. We discuss the 2019 film with Nadine McKown, the Site Director at the Kell House Museum. We talk about how the Kell daughters were similar to the daughters in "Little Women", Shannon's 90s "Little Women" amnesia and how "Little Women" is like Batman.

Is "Spider-Man: No Way Home" just a warmed over TV dinner for the public, a tasty snack or the meal of your life? Do the hits make up for the plot misses? Is Spider-Man's only true rival Batman? Did Tom Holland really drunkenly call the President of Sony to get this movie made?

Team Duckie or Team Blane? With sushi and an assortment of pink foods, we discuss "Pretty In Pink." Was Jon Cryer the best version of Duckie? What hoops did John Hughes have to jump to get Molly Ringwald in the film? Is James Spader a better Blane?

While drinking a double dry hopped IPA with calypso and lemon drop hops and jasmine green tea, I talk about "Big Trouble in Little China?" with Chad Newman. We talk about how the film put out expectations for life we did not see once we grew up, how Kurt Russell's been cashing checks off this movie the last 35 years and how Jack Burton is the biggest goof out of all the heroes of the 80s.

With the world's greatest sandwich and Alaska Ale, we talk about "Spanglish", how Adam Sandler is a red herring in a film about two women fighting for the American Dream and how we were given one last great James L. Brooks film.

We enjoy "Lars and the Real Girl" with some Almost Real Buffalo Wings with Amber Scott. We talk about how the filmmakers went all in on the vision this movie took, how a community can come together for a friend and Ryan Gosling's performance.

For my birthday, I go to a movie and this year I went to Century Rio 24 Plex and XD in Albuquerque, New Mexico to see "Red Rocket."

We have chicken wings and shrimp cocktail and talk about "Tommy Boy." Why is Tommy such a good role model for life? Where would Chris Farley's career have gone? Is Richard right to be such a jerk? Parallels with Billy Madison and more on this week's episode.

"You wanna run?" "You mean be on a podcast?" Sam Steen joins us with foods that start with a letter Q "Quiche Cups" to talk about "White Men Can't Jump." We talk about Ron Shelton and his sports trifecta, using all the trash talk in our own lives and how everyone should have a bank account and not get a loan from gangsters.

Scotty shares his "First Taste" thoughts on "Spider-Man: No Way Home" at Cinemark Wichita Falls.

Madeleine Calcoate Garcia, Director of the Museum of North Texas History, joins us to talk about "Raiders of the Lost Ark", the ethics involved with museums when it comes to archaeology, the unicorn of Harrison Ford and whether this is the most influential film over the last forty years. All this while we have fried cheese ravioli, SpaghettiOs with Meatballs and Broccoli Rabe Robbing the Lost Ark.

Mac N Cheese Movies visits the Guild Cinema to watch "C'mon C'mon."

The last dollar movie theater in Dallas closed this year. We talk to Danny Gallagher from The Dallas Observer about dollar theaters, movie theaters in the fight against Covid and the importance of the cinematic experience.

A punk rock movie. An anti-capitalist movie. A Disney movie? Disney's "Taxi Driver"? Disney's "Fight Club"? Disney's "Devil Wears Prada"? Whatever it is, it's a true rebel in mainstream media. With cucumber sandwiches, Amber Scott stops by to talk about "Cruella."

Scotty is gonna need to be living the same day over and over to get the flapjacks right and to improve on making Rita's favorite drink, sweet vermouth on the rocks with a twist. Scotty and Shannon are joined by Chad to talk about Harold Ramis and Bill Murray, how "Groundhog Day" created a whole new genre and what would the movie be like if the Coen brothers directed it.

In this episode we visit the AMC Houston 8 and see "Being The Ricardos" in this amazing theater.

While sipping Suntory Whiskey, we talk about "Lost in Translation", Japan, karaoke, that ending along with Bill Murray, Scarlett Johansson's breakthrough and Sofia Coppola's career.

For New Year's Eve, we went super green with "The Fifth Element" with pepper pizza with pineapple. We talk about the classic film, Luc Besson, Bruce Willis, the designers who worked on the film and how much Bruce Willis's apartment cost. How this movie was different than all the downer future 90s films and what made it stand out.

After a year away from one of our favorite places, we went back to the movies this spring for Scott Pilgrim VS the World at AMC Sikes Senter 10 in Wichita Falls, TX. Mac N Cheese Movies is going on the road. We want to visit as many movie theaters as we can. To find out their history, big moments and take in a flick. Mac N Cheese Movies wants to be an advocate for the movie going experience. If you want us to come to your theater and do a show on it, we will come. Drive Ins, Indie Theaters, AMC, Cinemark, Alamo Drafthouse.

Lindsey talks with us while we eat Christmas Fettucine about Cameron Diaz's career, Jack Black's romantic lead status and the greatness of Jude Law.

The case for Chris O'Donnell? Who could play Frank Slade today? Scotty talks about the incredible impact the film had on his 12 year old brain. We talk about Al Pacino. What do we look for in a good roll? Do biscuits tops rolls every time? Should Charlie have snitched out those rich kids? We talk about it all when we talk about "Scent of A Woman."

For this Monster Mac N Cheese Movie, Scotty, Shannon and Samantha talk about "Death Becomes Her" while drinking "A Touch of Magic Cocktail with Thyme." Is the movie as feminist as it may have been in 1992? Would Kevin Kline have been better than Bruce Willis? Who wants to live forever when the company is so lame? How does the movie play as a gay cult hit? That and more on this episode.

We talk about how "Scream" reinvented horror in the 90s, our epic tales of seeing it and if Sydney is a good final girl or not. Pineapple Relish to go with these salmon fish tacos.

Top Fives but not just Top Fives. It's a Top 5 Draft. Top 5 movies of all time. They can be action. They can be classics, cult films, horror, indie. Whatever you want for whatever reason cause it's your top five. You don't need to be a snob and only go for what the critics said or what your idiot friend thinks. This is your top five. But there's a twist. We're also doing a draft all the way to our number one starting from five. We don't know what each of us have in our top fives so if someone chooses something in your top five, it can't be used again, so we have extended into our top ten just in case someone takes any of our picks off the board.

We're just fast food knights but we're talking about "Garden State" with Kettle Red Bull, Aldi Lucky Charms and Grilled PBJs. We talk about Zac Braff's career, the Garden State greatness theory, the soundtrack, whether Natalie Portman is embarrassed by this movie and Desert Storm Trading Cards.
