It stars Tom Hanks, Irma P. Hall, Marlon Wayans, J. K.

MERRY SHAQMAS EVERYONE! We kick off a pod tradition with the First Annual Shaqmas Celebration on ADHD-DVD as returning guest and FED Talks host E.J. Feddes brings an unseen film from his collection with our man Shaquille in the lead role. It's 1997's Steel, written and directed by Kenneth Johnson, and starring Shaquille O'Neal, Annabeth Gish, Judd Nelson, Richard Roundtree, Irma P. Hall, Ray J, Steve Matilla, Kevin Grevioux, and John Hawkes. Shaq has a Superman tattoo so why not cast him as a hero that is explicitly tied to Superman, a character who does not appear and is in fact never mentioned in this film even once. Join us this Christmas and every Christmas going forward for another dive into the acting ouevre of Shaq! Plus, Hayley and EJ both have theatrical field reports on The Boy and the Heron, and Hayley spreads Shaqmas cheer with a lovely gift-giving ceremony. Additional works discussed in this episode include Jack & Jill, Barbie, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Wonka, The Thing, The Rocketeer, Batman Forever, Batman & Robin, Spawn, Green Lantern, Baby Driver, Underworld, I, Frankenstein, Man of Steel, Spider-Man 3, The Outer Limits, The Flash, Shaq's appearance on Dr. Phil's podcast, Shaq's Big Challenge, and Shaq Vs. among others. If you'd like to watch the film before listening to the show, it is not currently available for streaming in Canada but can be rented for $5 on YouTube and Amazon. We'll be back next week to close out the year with the New Years Eve at the Alamo actioner Assault on Precinct 13 -- and we do stress that's the 2005 vintage with Ethan Hawke and Laurence Fishburne, and not the 1976 John Carpenter original. Until then, merry Shaqmas everyone and we'll see you at the movies!

This week it's time for one of Tom Hanks' most notorious misfires, and one of our hosts might have at least a slight defense of it. Ryan and Mitchell are joined by Dan Mecca (The B-Side) to discuss Joel and Ethan Coen' 2004 remake of The Ladykillers. Discussion includes Hanks' Colonel Sanders performance, the Cannes award-winning work of Irma P. Hall, how the film is generally considered the Coens' worst, and for some reason a major detour into the career of Jack O'Connell.

Dorr (Tom Hanks), a courtly Southern gentleman, who arrives at the home of devout, elderly Marva Munson (Irma P. Hall), hoping to rent her extra room and use her basement to rehearse with his classical music ensemble. His fellow musicians, however, are actually criminals, and together they plan to rob a casino. When Mrs. Munson learns of their plan, they decide she must be silenced. Certainly, murdering one little old lady cannot be too difficult. Curious to hear how it ends?

Hey, folks! It's time for a brand-new episode of Mousterpiece Cinema, and we're heading down South for this one. The good news is that Josh and Scott are tackling another one of Joel and Ethan Coen's movies on this episode! The bad news is that they're discussing...The Ladykillers, the 2004 remake of the British dark comedy, this one featuring Tom Hanks, Irma P. Hall, J.K. Simmons, and more. Josh and Scott are joined by friend of the show (and Five-Timers' Club inductee!) Keith Phipps of Uproxx to talk about this oft-derided Coen film, to discuss whether or not it's getting a fair shake or if this might be a diamond in the rough.

She played Mama Jo on Soul Food tv show. Irma was also in several episodes of Diary of a Single Mom, and Bernie Mac tv shows, just to name a few.

REEL Ladies provides a platform for women in the film industry to share their stories and showcase their work. Hall's first acting role was in an independent film called Book of Numbers at the age of 38. Hall had been a teacher of languages for almost 20 years in Dallas, Texas when actor/director Raymond St. Jacques saw her performing at a poetry reading. He liked her so much he offered her a role in his film on the spot. Hall discovered a love for acting and soon founded a repertory theatre in Dallas.Hall's personality and age made her a natural to be cast as middle-aged, strong authority figures. She worked steadily in films and TV throughout the 1980s. But it was not until her role as the loving Aunt T. in 1996's A Family Thing when critics and audiences began to take notice of her talents. She won the Chicago Film Critics Association Award and the Kansas City Film Critics Circle Award for Best Supporting Actress. The success of that film helped launch Hall's career as a major supporting actor in the late-90's and early 2000s. Sizable roles in major films such as Nothing to Lose and Steel followed. Hall then landed the role as Big Mama Joesph in the film Soul Food. The film was a hit at the box-office, prompting a television spin-off, Soul Food: The Series, in which Hall reprised her role.She landed another acclaimed role when she was cast in the 2004 remake of The Ladykillers. She won a special Jury Prize at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival and an Image Award for her performance.
