Today we poke fun at something many men don't look forward to "Prostat Exam" We bring Dr E as he makes sure we are aware of the imporatance of this must needed exam. This message is for all men. Special Thanks to Chevy Chase and the Movie "Fletch" which helped with the audio used from the movie. CLIP DESCRIPTION: Fletch (Chevy Chase) poses as a patient in order to question Stanwyk's doctor, even dropping his shorts to sustain the ruse. FILM DESCRIPTION: Chevy Chase added a classic comic hero to the film landscape with Fletch, one of his few truly popular star vehicles in a famously misguided post-Saturday Night Live career. Chase plays Irwin M. Fletcher, known to everyone as Fletch, a Los Angeles Lakers-loving investigative reporter with a gleeful disdain for deadlines and a knack for pushing the buttons of his frustrated editor (Richard Libertini). He's also known for donning numerous disguises and assuming zany false identities to help gain information. While pursuing an ongoing story about a powerful drug dealer who operates from Venice Beach, he comes across an intriguing offshoot in which he becomes intimately involved. Aviation executive Alan Stanwyk (Tim Matheson) has an unusual proposition for Fletch: If Fletch agrees to an elaborate plan to kill him, for reasons Stanwyk refuses to divulge beyond explaining that he has bone cancer, Fletch will walk away with a healthy sum of money and a plane ticket to Brazil. Curious yet suspicious by profession, Fletch begins investigating Stanwyk's true motives, which leads him through numerous misadventures. Among them are a visit to a stuffy country club; a high-speed car chase with an unwitting passenger; repeat encounters with Stanwyk's wife (Dana Wheeler-Nicholson), although she may not be his only one; and a trip to Provo -- that's Utah, not Spain. Inspired by a novel of the same name by Gregory McDonald, Fletch went from thriller to comedy as it was adapted into a vehicle for Chase. TM & © Universal (1985) Cast: Chevy Chase, M.

The last time Fletch hit the screens was back in 1989's Fletch Lives, the last to feature Chevy Chase in the title role. Unlike the previous big screen appearance, that movie wasn't based on any of the novels written by Gregory McDonald. And it showed. Over the years there have been attempts to start up the franchise again, one being an adaptation of McDonalds prequel novel Fletch Won which would have been spearheaded by Kevin Smith and was rumored to star either Jae Lee or Ben Affleck in the starring role. That version of Fletch never came to fruition. But it would appear Fletch has finally returned. This time in the guise of Mad Men star Jon Hamm.  In this episode Bret and Andrew discuss their first takes on the trailer for Confess Fletch. Based on the second novel in Gregory McDonalds series.  And from first take Hamm's version of the character is closer to the character that McDonald wrote than the one Chevy Chase played. Which was basically just Chevy Chase as Chevy Chase. So it's time for Fletch to Confess. But who knows what the outcome will be.

This week on End Credits, we're going to take it easy. It's the first day of fall, and after the hustle and bustle of summer we can use something low key. The movie we're reviewing for this episode is so low key that you might not have noticed that it was even being released. We're talking about Confess, Fletch and some of the most exciting movies from *that* festival. This Wednesday, September 21, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: TIFF Competition. The Toronto International Film Festival has wrapped for another year, and the winner of this year's audience choice prize was a first time TIFF filmmaker called Steven Spielberg, who's new film, The Fabelmans, was the toast of the festival. Does that make us want to see it more? Maybe. Before the review, we're going to talk about the movies we're excited about coming out of TIFF, from a doc about a robot to a cancelled movie about a clown. REVIEW: Confess, Fletch (2022). Gregory McDonald's series of books about a misanthropic former reporter constantly stumbling into mystery was the subject of one successful movie starring Chevy Chase and one unsuccessful sequel. Now it's Jon Hamm's turn to slip into Fletch's reluctantly worn shoes as he embarks on a seedy trip into the art world to find stolen paintings, a missing tycoon, and the murderer of a young woman found in his Boston rental. Did we mention that Fletch is also a suspect? How's Fletch going to get out of this one, and do we care? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

Un Settembre ancora parco di uscite importanti al cinema ci porta a parlare di tre piccoli film, meritevoli di attenzione. Partiamo con Margini, esordio di Niccolò Falsetti che affonda nella provincia toscana una storia di rivalsa, amicizia e punk hardcore. Watcher è invece un thriller paranoico che guarda con competenza ai classici del genere, intrattenendo pur senza reinventare nulla. Chiudiamo con Confess, Fletch, che riporta al cinema il giornalista investigativo creato da Gregory Mcdonald, stavolta interpretato da un Jon Hamm in forma smagliante. Timestamp dei film in scaletta: [01:45] Margini [25:20] Watcher [41:10] Confess, Fletch Per supportarci: ko-fi.com/incompetentipodcast Per contatti: gliincompetenti@gmail.com

In celebration of Greg Mottola's CONFESS, FLETCH, the boys revisit Chevy Chase's '80s noir comedy classics so that they can compare notes and see how Jon Hamm's latest iteration of the character stacks up to both the SNL vet, and author Gregory Mcdonald's original dime store vision.

Host Greg Iwinski talks to Greg Mottola about leaning into the absurdity of the everyday, bringing a 70s-era whodunnit into the 21st century, our rediscovered love of murder mysteries, and much more. Writer and director Greg Mottola began his career with his 1996 indie dramedy film THE DAYTRIPPERS, for which he received a Golden Camera nomination at the Cannes Film Festival for best first feature film. He then went on to direct the hit 2007 coming-of-age comedy SUPERBAD, then wrote and directed the critically acclaimed 2009 film ADVENTURELAND, which earned him an Independent Spirit Award nomination for Best Screenplay. Since then, he has gone on to direct other film projects like PAUL and KEEPING UP WITH THE JONESES. Mottola has also directed episodes of several hit television series, including the pilots of FX's DAVE and HBO's THE NEWSROOM, as well as episodes of the THE COMEBACK, ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, UNDECLARED, and THE DANGEROUS BOOK FOR BOYS. He most recently wrote and directed the crime comedy film CONFESS, FLETCH, which is based on the 1976 novel of the same name by Gregory Mcdonald and a reboot of the hit 1980s series starring Chevy Chase. CONFESS, FLETCH stars Jon Hamm as the roguishly charming and endlessly troublesome Fletch, who becomes the prime suspect in a murder case while searching for a stolen art collection. The only way to prove his innocence? Find out which of the long list of suspects is the culprit - from the eccentric art dealer and a missing playboy to a crazy neighbor and Fletch's Italian girlfriend. Crime, in fact, has never been this disorganized. The film will be released simultaneously in limited theaters and on paid digital streaming platforms on Friday, September 16, and will be available to stream on Showtime starting October 28. --- Before it was a podcast, OnWriting was a print publication.

EPISODE 31: Interview with Greg MottolaThe FletchCast crew sits down with Writer/Director/Executive Producer of the new movie "Confess, Fletch", Greg Mottola,  to talk about how he and Jon Hamm got this project off the ground and across the finish line after 33 years of failed attempts. Mottola talks about the movie making process and the challenges of navigating through the world of Fletch - trying to make a movie that is their own, but still paying homage at times to the iconic Chevy Chase version from the 1980's. Greg discusses Jon Hamm's approach to the version of Irwin M. Fletcher that appears in the series of Gregory McDonald books...and gives us an exclusive as to what book might be next if a second film is greenlit.

Confess, Fletch is the 2nd in Gregory McDonald's series of comic mysteries. Fletch finds himself accused of a murder he didn't commit, which seriously inconveniences his actual investigation. There are several interlocking mysteries here, and some amazing dialogue between Fletch and Reluctant FLynn, the police detective pursuing both Fletch and the truth. A first time for Tom and a favorite for Tony, Confess, Fletch is a joy to read.

This week, Fletchcast takes ANOTHER deep dive into the sequel to Fletch... Fletch Lives. This is Part 2 of our search for something sweet...and southern.  In this episode, we journey with Fletch as he learns of the local megachurch, Farnsworth Ministries, that is interested in obtaining his beloved Belle Isle.

Nothing says 80's comedy better than 1985's Fletch. Directed by Michael Ritchie and written by Andrew Bergman based on the novels by Gregory McDonald but the movie is all Chevy Chase at his peak. Do the different aliases, one liners and pratfalls hold up in 2021? Does the Harold Faltermeyer score, which sounds eerily like Beverly Hills Cop still resonate? Well, watch and see what the YKY crew think. "Moon River..."

After Bryan's USPAP class of nearly 50 students, three stuck around to continue the conversation: Ms. Patty Cox is a veteran appraiser of 44 years from a rural town in Nebraska; Mr. Gregory McDonald is from Dallas, Texas, has been appraising residential properties since 1985, and now specializes in rehab work and owner financing; and Ms. Amanda Hobbs, a trainee appraiser in Oklahoma, is about to become an official Certified Appraiser after two years on the job.These four talk about Covid, busy appraisal times, virtual classes, retirement, the National Association of Appraisers (NAA) and a Christmas wish. As a bonus, behind-the-scenes magic maker, Ben Maxwell, makes a cameo appearance. Listen in to this fun conversation with practicing boots-on-the-ground appraisers. 

This You've Never Seen September has a focus on Geena Davis' career in the '80 and we kick off the month with a look at one of Chris' favorite films of all time and a true comedy classic: Fletch. Starring Chevy Chase as the titular investigative journalist, he must solve a case of beachfront drug dealers while also trying to figure out why a prominent businessman has hired him to kill him. It's a sun-soaked neo-noir film that is based on a book by Gregory McDonald but changes the character to better suit Chase's comedy styles. Pulp Serenade's Cullen Gallagher joins Chris to talk about the film, it's comedy style and all the Fletch films that never were.
