This week on All2ReelToo's Documentary Review Series, we dive into the raw, emotional, and brutally honest world of Metallica in the groundbreaking documentary Metallica: Some Kind of Monster (2004). What starts as the recording process for the band's St. Anger album quickly turns into something far deeper — a look inside the chaos, pressure, and personal struggles threatening to tear one of the biggest metal bands in history apart.

Step into the shadows of a movie theater where something… isn't quite right

In this episode of All2ReelToo's ALL2 DISNEY REVIEW, we're revisiting the ‘90s family comedy First Kid—but this isn't just a nostalgic watch. We break down the film's story of a former boxer-turned-Secret Service agent tasked with protecting the President's rebellious son… a job that quickly turns into chaos, comedy, and unexpected heart. From pranks to life lessons, it's a classic setup with that signature Disney charm. But we also go deeper—because revisiting this movie today comes with a more complicated lens. We address the real-world controversies and troubling connections tied to some of the film's cast, including links to figures like Jeffrey Epstein, as well as allegations involving sexual assault and domestic violence. Listener discretion is advised for this episode. You may want to skip it if this triggers you emotionally. Starring Sinbad, Brock Pierce, Robert Guillaume, Timothy Busfield, Zachery Ty Bryan, Bill Cobbs, and featuring appearances by Sonny Bono and Bill Clinton.

Step into the dojo of ‘90s nostalgia as All2ReelToo's So Bad They're Good series kicks into high gear with a look at Sidekicks (1992)! This cult classic follows Barry Gabrewski, a bullied teen with a wild imagination and one ultimate dream—to become the sidekick to martial arts legend Chuck Norris. When fantasy starts to collide with reality, Barry takes matters into his own hands, training in martial arts to find confidence, courage, and maybe even his own spotlight. Starring Jonathan Brandis, Beau Bridges, Mako, Joe Piscopo, and Danica McKellar—with Chuck Norris playing himself—this episode dives into the film's blend of fantasy sequences, heartfelt moments, and gloriously cheesy action. Is it inspiring? Is it ridiculous? Is it both? We break down everything that makes Sidekicks a perfectly imperfect gem in the “so bad it's good” hall of fame. #All2ReelToo #SoBadItsGood #Sidekicks1992 #ChuckNorris #90sMovies #CultClassics #MartialArtsMovies #MoviePodcast #FilmReview #Nostalgia #BadMoviesGoodFun Listen now: all2reeltoo.com

In this episode of All2ReelToo's SO BAD THEY'RE GOOD series, we bravely venture into the bizarre family-fantasy fever dream that is Gooby (2009). When 11-year-old Willy is struggling through a rough patch, his childhood toy springs to life—literally. Enter Gooby: a six-foot-tall, furry, imaginary(?) monster who crashes into reality to help Willy cope… whether anyone asked for that help or not. What follows is a wildly strange mix of heart, confusion, and unintentionally hilarious moments that must be seen (and discussed) to be believed. We break down the plot, the performances, and the many “choices” this movie makes—asking the important question: is Gooby a misunderstood family film, or a hall-of-fame entry in so-bad-they're-good cinema? Starring: Robbie Coltrane as Gooby (voice) David James Elliott as Jack Dandridge Ingrid Kavelaars as Elize Dandridge Matthew Knight as Willy Dandridge Eugene Levy as Mr. Nerdlinger Mary Haney as Mrs. Williams Len Doncheff as Mr. Ogilvey Paula Boudreau as Mrs. Deacon Elle Downs as Mrs. Donnelly Ricky Hegarty as Colin Alexander Conti as Eric Luke Bilyk as Cute Kid Jack Duffy as Grocery Store Manager Daniel DeSanto as Crane Avery Bisbee as Little Girl

In this episode of All2ReelToo's PILOT ERROR Review Series, we dig up a true TV time capsule — the un-aired 1996 UPN pilot Black at Ya. Created by Rusty Cundieff, this ambitious sketch comedy pilot pulled back the curtain on the chaos of trying to produce a “Black” comedy show for a mainstream network audience. Sharp, self-aware, and ahead of its time, Black at Ya tackled industry politics, cultural expectations, and the fine line between satire and reality — all while trying to get laughs. We also spotlight the cast, including John O'Hurley, Mark Christopher Lawrence, and Justin Kirk, and break down why this pilot never made it to series. Was it too bold? Too meta? Too real for 1996? Join us as we revisit this forgotten piece of television history, explore what worked, what didn't, and ask the ultimate question: would it survive in today's TV landscape?

In this special bonus episode of All2ReelToo, we pay tribute to the late James Van Der Beek, who sadly passed away at just 48. To celebrate his legacy, we rewind to where it all began — the unforgettable pilot of Dawson's Creek. Welcome to the picturesque coastal town of Capeside, Massachusetts — where movie dreams, first loves, and complicated friendships collide. At the center is aspiring filmmaker Dawson Leery (Van Der Beek), a 15-year-old cinephile scripting his own coming-of-age story alongside his lifelong best friends: the fiercely loyal Joey Potter and class clown with hidden depth, Pacey Witter. But life imitates drama when sophisticated New York transplant Jen Lindley moves in next door, instantly captivating Dawson and stirring unexpected jealousy in Joey. As friendships are tested during a tense movie night, sparks also fly elsewhere — Pacey finds himself drawn to the mysterious Tamara Jacobs… who just happens to be the new English teacher at Capeside High. Add in Dawson's rejection from the school's film class, and suddenly sophomore year is shaping up to be anything but ordinary. We break down the iconic moments, the unforgettable ‘90s vibes, and the performances that launched careers — including: Michelle Williams as Jen Lindley Joshua Jackson as Pacey Witter Katie Holmes as Joey Potter Mary-Margaret Humes as Gale Leery John Wesley Shipp as Mitch Leery Mary Beth Peil as Evelyn Ryan Nina Repeta as Bessie Potter With memorable supporting turns by Leann Hunley as Tamara Jacobs and others who helped shape the world of Capeside. Join us as we revisit the pilot that defined a generation, launched careers, and gave us one of television's most heartfelt teen dramas.

In this episode of All2ReelToo's A Very Special Episode Review series, we dive into the unforgettable moment when Kirk Cameron famously said “no” to cocaine in the Growing Pains Season 2 classic, “Thank God It's Friday” (S2.E15). While the rest of the Seavers settle in for a quiet night of TV, Mike heads out with his buddies Eddie and Boner—only to find himself at a party where things take a dangerous turn and cocaine enters the picture.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for December 15, 2025. 0:30 According to a new analysis from Fair Fight Action and the Black Voters Matter Fund, Republicans could gain nearly 200 state legislative seats across the South if the Supreme Court limits how Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act is used. These openly left-wing activist groups, and their warning isn’t really about voting rights — it’s about political power. At the center of the debate is racial gerrymandering: the decades-long practice of drawing “minority-majority” districts based explicitly on race. What was once justified as a remedy for Jim Crow has evolved into court-mandated racial mapmaking that treats voters as demographic categories instead of citizens. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The FBI arrested four people and charged them with planning a New Year's Eve bombing plot in California. The FBI and local law enforcement are still looking for the person responsible for murdering 2 students at Brown University and injuring 9 others. Producer, Director, and Actor Rob Reiner and his wife, Michelle Reiner were murdered in their home over the weekend. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 We break down the horrific attack at Bondi Beach in Australia, where Jewish families celebrating Hanukkah were brutally murdered in an Islamist extremist attack carried out by a father and son. It was not random violence — it was targeted, ideological, and devastating. And the attack wasn't stopped by police or by armed citizens— because Australians aren’t allowed to be armed — but by an unarmed man who tackled the attacker, wrestled the gun away, and held him until authorities arrived. A good guy stopped a bad guy, but he had to do it with his bare hands and risk his life because the law left him defenseless. 16:00 We ask American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson about their reation to the murder of Rob Reiner. The Mamas remember Reiner for his legacy in film— When Harry Met Sally, The Princess Bride, Sleepless in Seattle — movies they love and will always watch. They may disagree with his politics, but that never erased his talent or his contribuitons to culture. When news broke that he and his wife were killed — allegedly by their own son — the reaction was immediate sorrow. Devastation for the family. Incomprehension at the tragedy. conservatives are not celebrating this death. There will be no jokes, no parties, no costumes. Just grief — and restraint. Whatever Rob Reiner said in life, whatever political lines he crossed, his death — especially in such a horrific, personal way — should not be politicized. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 Is Kamala Harris really gearing up for another run at the White House? The rumors are suddenly everywhere — and the timing is… interesting. With weak book sales and a forgettable book tour, some are wondering whether this is about a campaign or just a publicity reset. We break down why Harris is still being floated as a top Democrat, what that says about the party’s bench, and why names like Pete Buttigieg and Gavin Newsom keep popping up despite failing to connect where it matters most. 25:30 A new Gallup poll on health care is out — and not surprisingly, Democrats are already waving it around again. But when you actually look at the numbers, it raises a bigger question: after all these years and all these promises, why does health care feel worse, not better? We break down what Americans say is broken, why costs keep climbing, and how a system no one really understands keeps getting more complicated — and more expensive. And we take aim at the growing belief that health care is a “right,” and what that assumption means for government power, personal responsibility, and freedom. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 Ford just learned a $20-billion lesson — and it has nothing to do with engineering and everything to do with politics. We dig into Ford’s massive EV write-off and why the company is backing away from electric vehicle production after bleeding billions. The conversation zeroes in on a familiar pattern: corporations chasing government mandates instead of consumer demand — and paying the price when the market refuses to cooperate. 35:30 Eighteen states are drawing a line on SNAP benefits — and it’s overdue. We break down why a program meant to supplement nutrition drifted into subsidizing junk food, and why limiting candy and soda isn’t an attack on the poor, but a return to the program’s original purpose. The conversation highlights an unexpected twist: this push isn’t just red states — it’s bipartisan. At a time when food assistance and healthcare costs collide, this is a rare bright spot where common sense might finally be winning out. 39:30 The threat isn’t just overseas — it’s here at home. When Jewish communities are targeted, they argue, it’s not just an attack on one faith — it’s an attack on the Judeo-Christian values that underpin the West itself. This isn’t isolated, and it isn’t accidental — and it’s time to say whoa. 41:30 America’s getting a birthday makeover — and it fits in your pocket. The U.S. Mint is rolling out a special series of coins to mark the nation’s 250th anniversary, with designs honoring America’s founding, its leaders, and the ideas that built the country. It’s a one-year-only run, meant to celebrate where we started and why it still matters. A small reminder of a big history — and a little patriotism you might get back in your change.

The Supreme Court just heard arguments in Louisiana v. Callais—a case that could dismantle what's left of the Voting Rights Act and eliminate up to 19 majority-Black congressional districts nationwide. Cliff Albright, co-founder and executive director of Black Voters Matter Fund, was there on the front lines.In this urgent and essential conversation, Cliff takes us from his journey in Selma, Alabama—witnessing the 2000 mayoral election that finally ousted the mayor who presided over Bloody Sunday—to standing outside the Supreme Court fighting for Section 2 protections. He explains in plain speak what Louisiana v. Callais actually means: Louisiana had one majority-Black district despite Black people making up one-third of the state. A court ordered a second district. Then "non-African American voters" sued, claiming race-based representation violates the 14th Amendment—the very amendment designed to guarantee Black people equal rights.Cliff breaks down the 2017 Alabama Senate race that put Black Voters Matter on the map, why "The Blackest Bus in America" matters, how disinformation targets Black voters, what organizing with joy actually looks like, and the concrete actions people can take right now. This isn't just about one Supreme Court case—it's about whether our votes matter, whether our communities get representation, and whether the law will protect us or be weaponized against us.Resources: blackvotersmatterfund.orgBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/teach-the-babies-w-dr-david-j-johns--6173854/support.
