Meghan & Not-a-Prince Harry win another fake award, Bill Burr strains to explain to Conan, Ed Gein the influencer, angry Katie Porter, Criss Angel, Mark Sanchez, a bad sports weekend, menstrual cycle gambling, Presidential libraries, Drew Crime, and the best "day of the week" songs. Dan Dickerson had an oopsie on an open mic after the Detroit Tigers' 15-inning loss to the Seattle Mariners in Game 5 of the ALDS. Everyone supports Dan because we all feel the same. Obituary time: Sister Jean passes away only 2 weeks into retirement. Diane Keaton surprised people by dying.Moody Blues bassist-singer John Lodge expired at 82. Drew was wondering which day of the week has the best songs with that day in the title. Sunday and Tuesday are strong contenders. No one likes Wednesdays. Penn State fires head football coach James Franklin. Michigan embarrassed by USC.  There were a lot of Top 25 college football teams that were beat this weekend. Bill Belichick and UNC seem like a disaster despite what he tells Kirk Herbstreit. Rolling Stone dropped a big story on how FanDuel and DraftKings have helped create a bunch of young gaming addicts. The hot new thing to gamble on is the WNBA based on the players menstrual cycles. The Detroit Tigers' season is over. We tried avoiding it, but we break down the Game 5 ALDS loss. Ed Gein Episode 8 is a horrifying laugh riot. Ed was one of the first influencers. Too bad it involved murdering and necrophilia. The John Candy documentary dropped on Amazon Prime. Drew Crime: 20/20 featured the avoidable murder of Denise Amber Lee.  Not to be outdone, Dateline covered the murder of gay art dealer Clifford Lambert. Bill Burr is still defending his participation in the Riyadh Comedy Festival in Saudi Arabia. Not-a-prince Harry and Me-Me-Me Meghan Markle win a humanitarian award for some reason. They were very icy towards each other. D4vd transferred his houses to his mother while questions surround his involvement in the death of Celeste Rivas. Katie Perry and Justin Trudeau are getting it on... again. Drew is starting to feel sorry for Joe Biden. Who goes to presidential libraries? Jennifer Aniston is full of it in her new interview with Harper's Bazaar. She's also trying to sound really deep. Criss Angel dumps his "narcissist" wife in a very petty way. Former US Rep and current California gubernatorial candidate Katie Porter has some major anger issues. No one made her more angry than her "idiot" husband. The whole timeline of the Mark Sanchez stabbing is finally being revealed. Defense attorneys are gaslighting everyone: Jose Baez on Mark Sanchez, Karen Read's lawyer Alan Jackson in the Pepperdine murder case, and former LSU WR Kyren Lacy's fatal crash.

Today, Earth's Mightiest Critics look back on the life of a comedy legend with an unconventional panel review of John Candy: I Like Me!Colin Hanks' presents a sprawling and thoroughly moving documentary about the star of SCTV, Uncle Buck, Planes, Trains & Automobiles, and dozens more comedy classics.Featuring interviews with co-stars, family, and friends, I Like Me paints a portrait of a man haunted by childhood tragedy who spent the rest of his life taking care of others (be it direct altruism or simply by making them laugh)--possibly to the detriment of his own well being. Far from a downer, this film is a celebration of life in the truest sense.Executive Producer Ryan Reynolds and friends recently screened the film at the Chicago Theatre, and several members of the EMC were there. Unfortunately, they couldn't all get together for roundtable, so Ian talked with Don, Cati, and David individually about several aspects of the doc, including its status as one of the best films this decade; the bizarrely performative nature of the Chicago Theatre Q&A; and the rise of the Celebrity Documentary genre.John Candy: I Like Me is now streaming on Amazon Prime.Support Kicking the Seat on Patreon, subscribe to us on YouTube, and follow us at:XLetterboxdInstagramFacebookShow LinksWatch the John Candy: I Like Me (2025) trailer.All proceeds from the I Like Me screening tour support St. Jude Children's Children's Research Hospital.

Later, Esmeralda Leon joins Nick to dive into the bizarre world of Billy Corgan's $20 Goth Smoothie, the nostalgia of those old “Scary Sounds” Halloween CDs, and memories of Erehwon mountain stores at the mall. They also swap stories about some of Hollywood's most misguided side projects—from James Caan's Sicilian Vampire to Marlon Brando in drag and Christopher Walken partying with The Country Bears Jamboree.

Dave is off this week, so Megan and Evan are coming at you as a duo! Megan starts by reviewing Mary Bronstein's absorbing psychological drama IF I HAD LEGS I'D KICK YOU (1:56), starring Rose Byrne as the world's most put-upon mother sinking under the weight of many simultaneous crises. Next, Evan reviews the Colin Hanks' delightful, moving documentary JOHN CANDY: I LIKE ME (16:19), which chronicles the life of the late comedian John Candy through deep interviews with friends and family, home video footage, and clips from his most memorable performances. Lastly, Evan and Megan join forces to discuss the surprisingly effective Paul Greengrass Apple TV+ disaster film THE LOST BUS (34:19), which stars Matthew McConaughey and America Ferrera. Its harrowing plot is based on the true story chronicled in Lizzie Johnson's book "Paradise: One Town's Struggle to Survive an American Wildfire." And in this week's Patreon exclusive audio, we discuss Dan Gilroy's neo-noir thriller NIGHTCRAWLER, starring Jake Gyllenhaal.

“What job pays well but doesn't require brains?”That's the blunt question Sandy and Tricia tackle in this lively episode of The Sandy Show. From real estate agents to OnlyFans stars, they explore the controversial list of high-paying jobs that don't necessarily demand a high IQ—and share their own hot takes on each one. But that's just the beginning. Tricia drops a bombshell in The Story We Love: AI-generated resumes are flooding hiring systems, and companies may soon charge you just to apply for a job. Is this the future of employment—or a desperate attempt to filter out the bots? Guest Steven Presley from Thunder Pop TV joins the show to share a wild story about Ryan Reynolds leaving 40 voicemails for Bill Murray, all in an effort to get him into a John Candy documentary. The result? A public F-bomb and a hilarious moment with Blake Lively. Other highlights include:The death of the beloved free streaming app Freevee and what it means for Meemaws and Peepaws everywhere.A viral TikTok health hack that involves jumping 50 times before your morning coffee.A bizarre law about mailing used underwear (yes, really).A nostalgic tribute to Don Knotts and the enduring charm of The Andy Griffith Show.Memorable Quote:"You don't need brains to make money… but you do need charisma." – Sandy McIlree

Send us a textEver watch a movie that feels like it was built out of wild props and late-night dreams—and then realize no one bothered to build the world around it? We dive headfirst into Nothing but Trouble, tracing how a killer cast (Dan Aykroyd, Chevy Chase, Demi Moore, John Candy) and a bonkers premise wobble into an unappealing blur of gadgets, traps, and gross-out gags. From the courtroom rollercoaster and the infamous Bone Stripper to a Hawaiian Punch dinner and a cameo from Digital Underground, we break down why spectacle without stakes falls flat—and where the film accidentally shows flashes of the sharper movie it could've been.We talk tone, pacing, and the delicate math of horror-comedy: why absurdity only lands when the world has rules, how character choices give jokes friction, and what happens when you skip setup and chase set pieces. Aykroyd's judge hints at a better blueprint—a lonely showman versus a gleeful sadist—and we explore how a few structural changes could have turned Vulcanvania into a memorable cult playground rather than a cautionary tale. Along the way, we connect threads to House of Blues, appreciate the handful of precision laughs Chevy sneaks in, and call out John Candy's split roles and the film's most head-scratching creations.Then we zoom out. Gen V returns with Hamish Linklater's delicious menace, Midnight Mass gets its flowers for character-first dread, and we compare comedy fibers across The Office, Parks and Rec, The Paper, and the Frasier reboot—why some ensembles feel warm and others punch down. It all loops back to the craft: world-building is an engine; jokes and scares are cargo. If the engine sputters, nothing arrives.Stick around for a celebratory tease: next week we're queuing up Broken Arrow for Todd's birthday. Hit follow, share this with your favorite cult-cinema friend, and drop us a note—what one change would fix Nothing but Trouble?

Hello! And welcome to our September episode! Hopefully it's still September by the time you hear it, but not to worry! The Halloween episode will be out long before Halloween. The reason this was so late is I basically did both episodes at once, in addition to getting three kids back in high school, college and grad school, so, ya know. It's all here and / or on its way.  Matt Braunger is here! Matt is a hilarious comedian and a good buddy of mine. A friend of the show, as they say. Matt has a brand new podcast out called Tank Top Talks and it's exactly what it sounds like. People in tank tops, talking about tank tops and people. You can listen to it, watch it on YouTube. You get it. Tank Top Talks.  And Paul Myers is here. What I said about Matt, same goes for Paul. Paul's not a stand up, but he's a brilliant journalist and writer. He's written, among other books, The Kids In The Hall, One Dumb Guy, A Wizard A True Star: Todd Rundgren In The Studio, and Barenaked Ladies: Public Stunts and Private Stories. His new book is required reading for any comedy fan - John Candy: A Life In Comedy. Paul's here to discuss the book and the amazing life and career of the great John Candy.  True Tales From Weirdsville takes a look at something we all do, sleep, and asks the question, what could go wrong? Actually a lot. There are some dudes in prison right now for things they claim happened while they were asleep. And we're going to investigate. And now, it's on, to our filthy business.

This week the boys discuss Ryan's Reynolds's remarks about journalists' cruel interviews with John Candy and another story about a fat black ballerina dancing on point as part of New York Fashion Week. Then to kick off spooky season, we look at body horror and fatness as monstrosity.

It's Mighty Monday's and Ryan is here to help review a throwback Disney sports comedy, Rookie of the Year.ABOUT ROOKIE OF THE YEAR:After a freak accident leaves 12-year-old Henry Rowengartner with an unusually powerful pitching arm, his life changes overnight. The struggling Chicago Cubs discover his talent and sign him to the big leagues, thrusting Henry into the wild world of Major League Baseball. Between learning how to balance fame, friendship, and family, Henry must figure out if he has what it takes to be more than just a rookie sensation.AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR ROOKIE OF THE YEAR:July 7, 1993 | Theatrical ReleaseCAST & CREW OF ROOKIE OF THE YEAR:Thomas Ian Nicholas as Henry RowengartnerGary Busey as Chet “The Rocket” SteadmanDaniel Stern as Brickma (and Director)Albert Hall as Manager Sal MartinellaAmy Morton as Mary RowengartnerEddie Bracken as Bob CarsonBRAN'S ROOKIE OF THE YEAR SYNOPSIS:The movie kicks off, and there's no mistaking it—this is a baseball movie. John Candy is at Wrigley Field for the first game of the season, and, well… the Cubs aren't doing so hot.Cut to young Henry Rowengartner, who, despite absolutely loving baseball, also isn't very good—just like his beloved Cubs. But it's okay, because he has a loving and supportive mom at home, who is dating this goober named Jack, whom Henry absolutely hates.The next day at school, a classmate hits a fly ball to see if Henry can catch it. He's running, things are looking good… until he slips on the grass. His arm is badly injured and has to be in a cast for four months. When the cast finally comes off, the doctor tests Henry's arm—but suddenly it snaps forward and hits the doctor in the face. Luckily, it's nothing serious; the tendons just healed a little tight.To celebrate being out of the cast, his mom gives him and his two best friends tickets to a Cubs game. During the game, the opposing team hits a home run… and, naturally, Henry throws it back. But this isn't just any throw—the ball rockets all the way to the catcher!The Cubs' management is shocked to learn the incredible throw came from an 11-year-old boy. Desperate to save the struggling team, general manager Larry “The Fish” Fisher recruits Henry. They sign him to a contract and, in front of a sellout crowd, make him pitch in the first game. It doesn't go perfectly… but the Cubs still win.Before long, Henry starts hitting his stride. With the wins come sponsorships, fame, and attention—but he begins to drift away from his friends. Realizing he's lost sight of what matters, Henry decides to retire at the end of the season. Meanwhile, the team's owner realizes the Fish isn't exactly the best manager and decides it's time for a change.It all comes down to the final game. Henry steps in to save the day, but during play, he slips and lands hard on his arm. His arm is suddenly “fixed”—but not quite the right way. Thanks to clever plays and some help from his mom, the Cubs pull off a victory. In the end, Henry returns to being just a normal kid, ready to enjoy life beyond baseball.

What if I told you there was a movie written by Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale — the duo who would go on to create Back to the Future… directed by Steven Spielberg, fresh off the massive success of Jaws and Close Encounters… starring comedy legends John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, and John Candy… and scored by the music genius behind Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Jaws, E.T., Jurassic Park — himself, John Williams? You'd expect a guaranteed blockbuster. Instead, what audiences got in 1979 was 1941 — Spielberg's first spectacular misfire.

Happy Monday. It's time to get Mighty!

Derice is the clear favorite. The top four finishers will represent Jamaica in the Olympics. Unfortunately, the runner next to him, Junior, stumbles and takes Derice down with him.Derice tries to convince the Olympic committee leader to rerun the race, but it's a no-go. On his way out, he notices a picture of his late father standing next to another man. He asks who it is, and learns that it's Irv Blitzer, a fellow gold medalist who once competed in bobsledding. Irv lives in Jamaica now, working as a bookie and living a miserable life.It takes a while, but Derice finally wears him down, and Blitzer agrees to give him a shot. They gather a group of people together, but Blitzer scares them off by showing a reel of bobsled crashes. By the time it ends, the room is empty—except for one of the other runners who fell with Junior, a grumpy guy named Yul. The problem is, there's no such thing as a three-man bobsled team. That's when Junior shows up. Yul tries to fight him when he walks in, but—like it or not—that's their squad.They get to work, and after a lot of crashing and falling, they finally manage to get into the bobsled in under six seconds.Now they need funding. After failing to land a sponsor, they try random fundraisers, but still fall short. Junior steps up and sells his fancy car to cover the rest of the costs.To Calgary they go. Blitzer registers the team and borrows a rundown bobsled from a former teammate. The Jamaicans struggle to adapt to, well, ice. Derice talks to an opponent who warns him that Blitzer is holding him back—that he hasn't been the same since he was caught cheating.Meanwhile, the other teammates get into a bar fight at a honky-tonk. Derice gives them a pep talk about locking in and focusing.It's time for qualifying, and Blitzer surprises them with their very own uniforms. They need to make it under 60 seconds—and THEY DO IT!They celebrate by painting their sled and naming it Cool Runnings. But soon after, they receive a letter: they've been disqualified. Blitzer storms into the rules committee meeting, insisting they not penalize the team for his past mistakes. After deliberation, the committee reinstates them.It's Olympic time. Back home, everyone watches as they march in the opening ceremonies. Junior's dad tries to pull him back home, but Junior stands up to him at last.The team's first run on the track is a disaster, and they finish dead last. Derice tries copying the Swiss team's methods, but Sanka pushes back—telling him they need to be themselves. On the second day, they race in their own style and finish eighth.During their final race, a loose screw causes one of the bobsled's blades to detach, sending the sled crashing and flipping over. Determined to finish, the team lifts the sled and carries it across the finish line. The crowd erupts in applause—including Junior's father.The epilogue explains that the team returned to Jamaica as heroes, and came back four years later to the Winter Olympics to compete as equals.
