Not solving the world's problems one podcast at a time
Roger Rabbit, and Who Framed Him. Who did Frame him? That's the question on everyone's mind, or at least everyone other than the Judge and his Weasels. But first we have to ride the rails, drink some sweet sweet iced tea, watch some cartoons, and take some interesting pictures. Join Pat and Bruce as we dive into this fantastic film noire with one of the most interesting conceits of all time.
We return to the Sportsball. The relentless grind that is Aggie sports, Cowboys football, and the horrors of being a Browns fan. Sprinkled in with some hockey, some Guardians, and the 2023 World Series Champion Texas Rangers. Yes, Pat and Bruce get back to the wonder and majesty that is Sportsball in this, the 2025 year of our Lord.
Well we somehow managed to make three episodes out of Predator. I don't know how we did it, probably all the talking about jokes, and pigs, and explosions, and aliens, and Dutch, and Arnold, and Kelly Clarkson, and some of this and more on the exciting conclusion to Predator, on this episode of Pat and the Fat Man.
Did I say that we would be moving on from sportball from 2024? Yeah, we just couldn't do, we just had to, no, we needed to talk about Fooseball with even more in depth. Sure, we turned out to be super wrong on who would end up going to the final, but we had a lot of fun speculating wildly and complaining about some crazy stuff going on the world of college fooseball.
100 Episodes, and who would have figured that it would be a Sportsball Episode?!?! Well, at least its almost relevant, we recording this in the December hours of 2024. We've still got some more sportsball in us, but we'll be saving it for 2025. For now, lets get down and dirty and talk about some college football and the insanity that is bowl season, the playoffs, the conference re-alighments and alllllll of the problems that has caused everyone one. All of this and more on this Episode of Pat and the Fat Man.
Pat and Bruce head back into the jungle, trying desperately to get to za choppas, trying to avoid being gutted like a pig, making off color jokes about our girlfriends, asking Dutch what the hell is really going on here, and staying away from ugly SOBs. Yes, it's back to the movies, with all this and more, on this episode of Pat and the Fat Man
Hey everyone, sometimes Pat and/or Bruce decides that they don't want to talk about anything in particular, but they do want to talk and they also want people to listen to them. And that's when we do a Whatever We Feel Like episode. It's been a while since we recorded it, so, I just as curious as you are to see what we decided to talk about.
Mid season football notes and more from Pat and Bruce prior to embarking on a cruise in a Hurricane. Welcome back to Pat and the Fat Man. We weren't completely idol...ideal...idle, that's the one, during the 4th quarter of 2024. We just were't super proactive about getting stuff out to you all our adoring fans. So, thank you for keeping it tuned it even though we've been a little absent. Every year seems to bring some real challenges, but we will keep moving forward, and even if we disappear, just know that we'll always come back.
At the behest of our Patrons over on Patreon (please, please, please become a patron!) they voted on us talking about the 1987 classic jungle alien movie Predator. Listen in as Pat and Bruce wax poetically about bad girlfriend jokes, wearing suits in the South Pacific or South America, The other guy cause looking up the names is too hard, and how many snakes were in Dutch's trousers during that one scene. Some of this and more, on this episode of Pat and the Fat Man.
Pat and the Fat Man bring you up to date on all things sportsball, although not up to date with the recent Hockey and Basketball news, we do have lots to talk about in football, soccer, baseball, and potentially other sports. But yeah, get ready to listen in to another Sportsball take from expert sportball watchers Pat and Bruce.
Pat and Bruce finally bring the Sandlot home for everyone to enjoy. Listen in as we take you through the way in which the boys finally get out of the pickle, how much a Babe Ruth signed ball is actually worth, and what happened to all of the kids as they grew up and became part of The Machine. Some of this and more, on this episode of Pat and the Fat Man.
We've been out for a little bit, but we have a three-for-one posting to make up for it. First we offer you Sportsballs 2024 the 2nd part - soccer, baseball, hockey, basketball, you name it and Pat and/or Bruce might talk about it. Who's to say what they will talk about in this episode. Find out, on this episode of Pat and the Fat Man.
The kids are now in the biggest pickle they've ever been in. Listen in as Pat and Bruce critique a bunch of kids who try to get a baseball back from a giant dog instead of just knocking on the door and asking the owner to get it back. Erector sets don't work, kids in rigs similar to mission impossible devices don't work, drone rocket ships don't work, vacuum cleaner suction rigs don't work. Some of these and more, on this episode of Pat and the Fat Man.
Pat and Bruce are at it again, coming at you not so live with all things Sportballs 2024. Gotta get ready for the new season, the changes coming down the line in baseball and football, the new no explosions after the fifth period rule, and the drastically crazy no hip swivel tackle. Some of this and more on this episode of Pat and the Fat Man.
Pat and the Fat Man return to the Sandlot, that most wonderful of places in the world, except when it's 105 degrees out and so instead we head to the pool. Listen in as Pat and Bruce talk about the pool scene, followed by several other baseball like scenes where they play on the 4th of July, they defeat a well funded and outfitted little league team from the good side of town, and Smalls wrestles a tiger with his bear hands, to devastating effectiveness. Some of this and more on this episode of Pat and the Fat Man.
Pat and Bruce review most of the football season, along with baseball, some soccer, and some other stuff, probably. You get to see if any of our predictions came true and what the massively changing landscape of the sportsball field looks like, what with all the changes in football, NCAA sports, and baseball.
An older episode that I found laying around collecting dust (forgot to post when it was relevant). This episode was recorded in the early-middle of the 2023 Football season. A couple more Sportsball episodes are on the way, you'll get to see how our opinions bear out over time.
Pat and Bruce continue their journey through the childhood classic The Sandlot. Join us as we wax poetic about Dennis Leary's parenting style, and how Smalls is killing them, about the origins of the beast, about how Small's mom posed for very risque photos and is recognized by the kids on the team. Some of this and more on this episode of Pat and the Fat Man.
Pat and Bruce start their next fan chosen movie, The Sandlot. Out of all the baseball movies you could have picked, you picked The Sandlot, well cr&*, I guess we'll have to review it then. Strap in as Pat and Bruce spend the next hour talking about roughly 10 minutes of film time in this seminal classic about kids, growing up, getting into trouble, sexual assault, and bad step-parenting. Oh yeah, and baseball.
Welcome to Sportsball 2023. As we head into the Sportsball season, or at least the portion of sportball that we care about, we figured we'd give you a sportball episode to chew on before we get to our new movie, The Sandlot. So sit back and listen in to Pat and the Fat Man pontificate about the great sport of foosball.
And now we come to the end of the movie, and you all are A number 1, Duke of New York for sticking with us over this past month because we have not posted a new episode since June. As we come to the close of the movie, the timer on Snake's wristwatch keeps going faster and faster like some crazy perpetual motion machine. Listen in as Pat and Bruce discuss the finer points of screwing over the world, where Snake's tattoo actually ends, and how the scene at the end of Ernest Borgnine coming back from the dead and strangling the president was the capstone that the movie really needed.
Taking a break from the super ultra fast paced Escape from New York we are gonna talk about some baseball. New pitch clock, new hit clock, no shift, a minimum of one sacrifice per game, two beers chugged after you round 3rd, and so many more new things discussed in this episode of Pat and the Fat Man!
Snake Blitzen, Blitzken, Blizzard...whatever...is still trapped in the maximum security penitentiary that is Manhattan city. Listen in as Pat and the Fat Man talk incessantly about the slow pans, 80s music, people recognizing Snake but thinking he was dead, and the president getting shot over and over and over and over and over and over again, like I'm sure we've all wanted to do at some time in our life....anyways, some of this and more on this episode of Pat and the Fat Man.
Welcome to Manhattan, city of the future, the dystopian future that is. Marvel at the lack of utilities, the waste of a massive city, and cab drivers who have somehow been inside a maximum security prison from twenty years before it was built. Why did the U.S. decide to wall off Manhattan and use it as a prison, how did they get this past the Port Authority, Teamsters, Mafia, and the most despised man or woman in America - the mayor of New York? Will Snake Bli All this and more covered by Pat and the Fat Man on this first part of our Patron chosen episode of Escape from New York.

We made it! We made it to the gruesome and honestly very sad finale of the movie...we made it...hurray?!?! Listen in as Pat and Bruce break down the final fifteen minutes of the movie. The tragic ends of the two brothers, the heroic escape of the two survivors, the really quick and kinda slapdash outro, the space alien reveal, some of this and more on this episode of Pat and the Fat Man.
Back to the Movies! Red Dawns Part 6 takes us into the cold winter months and the downfall of the Wolverines. We go over the gut punches that are the slow demise of the team and the dissolution of the group under heavy fire and heavy pressure. The movie continues to stay real, gritty, and low budget. Join Pat and Bruce as we get real too, and talk waaaay too much about every little detail, just the way we like it on another episode of Pat and the Fat Man.
Want to be able to talk about those sportsball teams during their big sportsball game? Well we've got the episode for you. I mean, it might not have the playoff information, but who needs that for the superb owl, am'i'right? Well, anyways, get to some sportsball listening and we'll catch you on the other side.
It's been a while since we did a relatively random show, so here you go, random thoughts of the Patman and the Fatman as we close out 2022 (recorded on election night 2022). We cover briefly: sportsball, what we are watching currently (or at the time), politics, more sportsball, the space time continuum. All this and possibly more on this episode of Pat and the Fat Man!
Bleep LSU. Bleep Bleep LSU. That's really all you need to know. Sportsball Week 9 to 12.

Sportsball continues and the Aggie's and Brown's seasons are only getting worse as the teams begin to stack up impressive losing streaks not seen for decades...well not the Browns. The Cowboys continue on in heroic fashion while the Astros clutch the pennet and take it to the world series. Also a couple words about Hockey. Whooooooo Sportsball!

We move from October into November and just like the bleakness of late fall, things start to get bleaker for our heroes. The addition of the Colonel brings some different feelings into the mix. The horrors of war and sieges are explored. Whether children should be fighting or acting as an insurgent sabotage force is a question that comes to the foreground. Finally they make a go at smuggling the Colonel out and things go awry.

Sportsball continues, and it continues to go downhill for both the Aggies and Browns, but fortunately uphill for the Cowboys and the Astros. Also downhill for Bruce's hockey team....so...well Bruce is pretty sports unhappy right now, let's put it that way. Pat fully understands that being an Aggie fan means mostly being in pain all the time with some moments of awesome....but mostly pain.

Two episodes in a week?!?!? What is going on, could it be that the stars have aligned between Pat, Bruce, and Che, our wonderful and gorgeous editor, and they can now crank these things out like wigets in a factory? Well, kind of, at least for the time being we are gonna ride this wave of productivity. Today it's still all about Sportsball: college football, nfl, baseball, hockey, other stuff maybe, probably...maybe.

Thank you everyone for continuing to listen to our Podcast. We know we've been out of it for a little while. Both Bruce and I got new jobs which made timing recordings difficult and then 4 of our recordings got deleted via technology. So, very frustratedly, we finally got this one down on the books. So welcome back to Red Dawn! We got two scenes under our belt, but we were happy to get that and have it work.

September turns into October as the kids in the woods realize they can't go home, and not only that, but they are going to have to join the fight. It's more movie over analysis from Pat and Bruce in this episode of Pat and the Fat Man.

We move further into the story of these children who are forced to grow up fast as their town is attacked and taken by communist forces. We get to meet some of the villains, see how the kids deal with being on their own in the woods for a while, and get a glimpse of what has become of occupied America.

Per the request of one of our Patrons we have decided to review Red Dawn, the seminal Communist attack the US so a bunch of kids go into the woods and become a brigade of freedom fighters movie. Cause that's a common trope amongst the movies. So we dive head first into this stumbled into masterpiece of coming of age, dealing with trauma, multi-generational feelings sharing, and war. Seriously it's really hard to tell if the director planned these scenes to be as good as they are or if he just kept lucking into it.
