RCA Country Music artist Chris Young is joined by his friends Ryan from Miami, Haley the Bear and Producer Josh and talk about 4 topics from Sports, Music, Movies and a Hot Take.

Joining us this week is fellow podcaster, writer, artist and all-around creative type, Mike Dolce and he brings with him a couple of really disparate film choices. Something we love and respect. First off, we jump into "Charlie Wilson's War" a film about the Texas congressman who accomplished something spectacular when he figured out a way to fight a war without almost anyone realizing he was doing it. Based upon reality, his network of good 'ol boys and his charming demeanor proved some of his greatest assets in his quest to help the people of Afghanistan. Posters we discuss can be seen at http://cinementalpod.com

An other Tom Hanks movie for Hanksgiving

Ryan McCloskey returns to the Reel Rap studio to talk Charlie Wilson's War, Mike Nichols' 2007 collaboration with Aaron Sorkin. Our hosts pull very few punches on Nichols' final film, pointing out crucial mistakes in casting and how much the film resembles a Ron Howard movie. And, of course, they squeeze in some of Bennett's beloved Oscars talk. A comedy duo straight out of William Penn’s backyard, Bennett Glace, an adult Disney fan, and Shane Pfender, an ordained minister, have for years lent a critical eye to Hollywood’s most tedious auteurs. They are a comedy duo for film snobs and slobs alike. Exhausted by the current uninspired landscape of film criticism, the two work to find a new language with which to understand and interact with the films they cover on their inimitable podcast, Reel Rap.

In this episode Ryan talks with SHIRI APPLEBY (UnReal, Charlie Wilson's War, Life Unexpected, Roswell) about what it was like making the transition from having a very successful acting career to working as a Director.

No, we still aren’t getting paid by them, contrary to the way it appears. But there are some really cool things coming up to look forward to from both groups. We hear about the Marvel Phase 4 universe and the various upcoming movies. DJ is excited about these and is quite eager to see these unfold. There is the news about the various DC series with some shows seeing a possible end and others announcing the latest seasons.Next up we need to go grab our magnifying glasses as we look at micro bots. That’s right micro bots, tiny little robots that are going to help change the world. One operates in response to specific frequencies and is called a Bristle bot, totally cool. The other is even smaller and is operated by optoelectronic tweezers (OET), which use light patterns to directly interact with the bots. That’s right – LIGHT FEAKING TWEEZERS!!! Sorry about that, but that is so cool, these bots are so small normal tweezers are too big. Would you like to know more?

It was visible to the naked eye for a record 18 months, twice as long as the Great Comet of 1811, the previous record holder.

Liam's choice this week! Rather than force Tarver and Blake to watch 90 hours of The West Wing, Liam leads the dudes on a trip back to the 80s to check out Aaron Sorkin's take on George Crile III's 2003 novel centered around US Congressman Charlie Wilson's efforts to end Russia's military involvement in Afghanistan during the Cold War. It's more interesting than it sounds- I promise. This one is a banger- Aaron Sorkin's writing gives Tom Hanks, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Julia Roberts nothing but amazing dialog to work with, and hammer drop upon hammer to drop. We got truth bombs and real bombs going off, and a scene re-write to cap it all.

Today, Josie and Daniel take a trip back in time to watch CHARLIE WILSON'S WAR, the 2007 political comedy drama with a stacked cast. Stay tuned to find out how this movie fares against all the others. Plus, a new edition of #HanksHappenings. Remember to rate and review us on itunes, and leave your favorite memories about Tom in the review for a chance to hear it on the show.

George Crile's book Charlie Wilson's War is the most in-depth account of the CIA's support to the Afghan mujahideen, based...

In the 1980's, a U.S.Representative, a Texas socialite and a CIA agent formed an unlikely alliance to boost funding for Afghan freedom fighters in their war against invading Soviets. Jack and Lar attempt to explain how this unlikely trio successfully financed these covert operations that contributed to the fall of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War.

After a few years off the big screen, Julia teamed up with Tom Hanks for Charlie Wilson's War. Though a small part, Julia plays a key historical figure who swears she "did not make al-Qaeda." Charlie Wilson's War also ended up being director Mike Nichols' last film. A few years later, Roberts teamed up with Hanks again in Larry Crowne, the world's most aggressively pleasant movie.  Join us as we discuss whether Taraji P. Henson deserved a bigger part in Larry Crowne, why Lady Gaga should begin shifting to Stefani Germanotta in her acting roles, and why Charlie Wilson's War lost all five Golden Globes for which it was nominated. Hosted by Michael (@cateblanchetttt), with Drew (@drew_murray12) and Walter (@walthickey).
