"That would have been a very dramatic exit, if only her room was down that hall." Well this episode is at threat of having the main guest, Robert Miano, overshadowed by the recent death of Michael Madsen. Miano is our focus though, the Sonny Red to Michael Madsen's Sonny Black in this episodes spotlight movie; Donnie Brasco. Miano is also an on scr…

4M ago50:49

50:49

How much more appetizing food always becomes when you add the word "log." What's this? Christmas in May? Well this is what happens when you plan way in advance. You end up recording a Christmas episode in December but releasing it in Spring. But who cares? We could all use a little Christmas spirit throughout the year. Nobody more, than the miserab…

6M ago40:58

40:58

"God, I wish I'd fired you when I had the chance!" Frasier's big-mouth strikes again - he blabs and gets Bob Bulldog Briscoe's butt bounced right outta the bloody building. Too many b-word's, the last one was a reach. Anyway, that's the show this week and our focus, INCREDIBLY, is on Jay Leno this time! Leno made one feature film performance in his…

"You make me want to stuff my face full of egg rolls and... I don't know what." It's time to reach back into the past and check out one of the few Carl Reiner feature film performances. Russian suspicion, conspiracy and full-blown panic are afoot... But it's OK, because Alan Arkin has a funny moustache! Meanwhile, over on Frasier, we get the first …

S1E7 - Bruno Kirby in The Freshman (Call Me Irresponsible) 36:28

7M ago36:28

36:28

"What's your stomach have to say about this?" Episode 7 and I cannot believe this film is not better known. We may be focusing on Bruno Kirby this week, and all respect due to him, but it's Marlon Brando's appearance in The Freshman which will steal the conversation. It's basically the Don Corleone all over again. Played for laughs - but played ent…

S1E6 - Robert Klein in Two Weeks Notice (The Crucible) 38:47

7M ago38:47

38:47

"We may be barbarians, but we pay for our pillaging." Episode 6 and it's hands down the worst film so far on this journey. I should also add a HUGE Trigger-Warning (we have a wild Donald Trump appearance). Two Weeks Notice really is as bad as it can get. But hopefully our guest this week Robert Klein can save the episode! Timestamps: 01:30 Intro 02…

These two dirt bags met in prison in …

8M ago52:01

52:01

This week, we go back to the 70's for another infamous crime: The Barbecue Murders! This is a classic tale of parricide, but the details muddy the waters a bit when thinking about who is really at fault, and who is really a victim. Sixteen year old Marlene Olive, adopted at birth and never allowed to forget it, doesn't know love, only control. Her …

34:17

"All that's missing is a mariachi band!" Episode 4 and we tackle more than a few prickly issues today as we deep dive into Joe Mantegna's career (courtesy of a few David Mamet sidebars). Yes, most of us know him for his cartoonish embodiment of Fat Tony on The Simpsons. But how does he hold up as an actor in his own right? And what can we make of h…
