Erich, Lindsey, and Andrew assemble the team, talk about how deadly this podcast could be, and unnecessarily refer back to things happening in Washington DC and London in this daring thriller of an episode!
In our first episode back from our sabbatical in The Void, Andrew and Lindsey discuss Stargate. A movie that Lindsey really loves and Andrew had a hard time remembering exactly why he remembers specific details of until a light bulb moment presented itself.
After just the teeniest, shortest, most minute hiatus your hosts are back in full force to explore the vast deserts in and around Tombstone.
Lindsey joins Andrew to discuss the carefree romp with a bopping soundtrack we've affectionately come to know as Captain Ron. Enjoy!

Whitney and Andrew join forces to discuss how this movie fails to deliver the goods because it spends too much time on things that don't really matter: children's birthday parties, restaurant visits, petting cats with angel hair pasta boxes, and introducing secret third best friends in the final act. Regardless, there was still fun to be had, particularly for Andrew during the credits.——— Join our community on Discord!

It's all in the reflexes with this episode. We lean hard into this cult classic and our third Russell/Carpenter collab. We talk about how this movie pretty expertly shows that your protagonist isn't always the lead, how it handles race in a decade that was rather insensitive to it all, POGS, underground poker rings, and so much more!——— Join our community on Discord!

However, there are very few guns, no characters named Heather, and the only real secret before us is: how many titles does this movie actually have?!

Welcome to The Kurt Locker. Each week, we'll step through the films of Kurt Russell, starting with his early work in live-action Disney films and moving all the way to present day. Kurt Russell is the kind of actor that can, and has done it all. Whether you know him as a cowboy, the coach who can deliver one hell of a motivational speech, a psychopath race-car driver, a regular guy, an ex-soldier who you thought was dead, or even Santa Claus himself, Kurt has proven himself as a powerhouse actor for over 5 decades. To really take in the full breadth of his work, we're watching and reviewing each feature film he's starred in and bringing some great guests along for the ride including many well-regarded writers and critics. Subscribe now wherever you get your podcasts, episodes coming this winter.
