Peak Cinema: National Lampoon‘s Christmas Vacation

It's a Snownado outside and it was Chevy Chase Hate Fest inside.  Lauren goes full blast nuclear over her hatred of Chevy. Ryan sits quietly drinking egg nog and pondering if the storm outside meant the end of the world. I work hard to defend the work of Chevy while also challenging the sanity of Randy Quaid and our our weird celebration of idiots in film. It's a Christmas classic directly from the holiday canon. Enjoy.

Tim and Derek Shoot The Breeze: The Nostalgia Edition

My guy Derek rejoins the pod to kick around the fantasy football season that was. COVID Testing policies, the "bad" WalMart and then, we get into the really important stuff like "The Facts of Life", Micheal Nesmith, Nicole Eggert and the pro wrestler known affectionately as the "O.D.B."  It's a lot to chew on so enjoy.

NFL Week 13: Vikings Fanline

Zach is off on Dad duties so it's just Ryan and I cutting open a vein about being a Vikings fan. It's emotional at times but productive. We then take a look at the draft scenarios as they stand right now. Lots of teams with multiple picks and no Quarterbacks on the horizon. Plus we eliminate one more team. Enjoy.

Peak Cinema: Die Hard

Yippee-Kay-Yay! It's the Christmas season and with that comes one of the all time great Christmas films. "Die Hard" starring Bruce Willis and Alan Rickman. The classic action film on the 30th floor of Nakatomi Plaza. So much to discuss. Is it a Christmas movie? Is it the greatest action movie of all time? Why was this Alan Rickman's first movie? So much to discuss. I totally love it. Enjoy

Peak Cinema: Robin Hood: Men in Tights

We take a look back at one of the last Mel Brooks' films from 1993. Robin Hood was one of my favorites growing up but does it hold up today?(It Doesn't) We also look at Mel Brooks and his accomplishments in what has been a pretty amazing career and life. Enjoy.

Peak Cinema: The Big Lebowski

The Dude Abides! Tonight we take on one of our all time favorites. From 1998 it's the classic "The Big Lebowski" starring Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, Julianne Moore among others. It's pretty obvious from the start that we are huge fans of this film and for 90 minutes we basically just laugh at all the funny lines this film has to offer. If you are a fan of the Dude, you will love this. 

NFL Week 10: What do we Know?

We are starting to find clarity in this NFL season. The Packers are good. The Titans are good. That much we know, we also took a look around the league to see what else we know.

So much to get to so enjoy.
