Episode 71: That’s Gotta Be Kang! - Loki The Real & The Jabroni Results & Rundown

Well, Loki was certainly one helluva ride, wasn't it? We talk about all the twists and turns as well as figuring out how we did with judging all the predictions and fan theories that we looked at prior to episode one. Who was right? Who was wrong? And most importantly, who takes home the bottle of bourbon that serves as our motivation to use our noggin on these things instead of just phoning it in?

All of that plus Marvel news, more Marvel news, a few cheap shots at DC, new documentary content on Disney Ploos that we're dying to see, Tim's health update, and much more!

Episode 69: Hail King Costner! - Crowning the King of Sports Movies

When it comes to sports movies, there's been a slew of flicks that have covered just about every activity from baseball to bobsledding.

In this episode, we count down our favorite Costner sports flicks as we crown him King of Sports Movies!

As you'll hear at the top of the show, this episode was recorded a month ago and was mis-filed by our intern Patrick, rendering all hopes at timeliness completely moot.

Not all movies and sequels are created equal, which is why we want to spotlight some of the greatest combinations - one-two punches if you will - in the history of cinema. In this episode, we lead it off with the modern day classics of Avengers Infinity War and Avengers Endgame - the third and fourth installment in their series.

Episode 67: He-Man Revelation Trailer Reaction & Wild Speculation

One would be hard-pressed to have made it through the 1980's without some kind of knowledge about He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.

So when Kevin Smith dropped a trailer for his soon-to-debut on Netflix sequel to the original series, we had to give it a look and then share it with you... the people.

Episode 65: May Wrasslin’ Madness - Our Brackets For The Best Match Type Ever

Anyone who's watching professional wrestling for more than a couple minutes is aware that matches can often have some weird stipulations to make things a little more exciting, silly, or downright vicious. But which one is best? And more importantly, which ones do a couple of idiots with their own podcast and apparently little in the way of maturity think are best?! We're glad you asked! In this episode, we break it all down scientifically with our own wrasslin' match type brackets to find the best of the best!

Yeah yeah yeah ... we know it's June, but we recorded this in May and it took a little longer for us to edit and post. Considering everyone else does their brackets for March Madness, we were already a couple months late - so what's another week?

Episode 64: 1984 Year In Movies - We Came, We Saw… We Reviewed It!

We've had ourselves a good ol' time looking at some other years in cinema history, so why not head back to that well one more time as we take a look at what some have called "the greatest year in cinema history" - 1984. This time, we've brought some help with us as we welcome Mel Barrett to the Free Range Congregation to help us run this thing down and add a dollop of legitimacy to our normal shenanigans.

Mel is a screenwriter and filmmaker who has worked inside and outside Hollywood along with writing a couple of novels as well. Her and Todd will be co-hosting an upcoming podcast about the process of taking a script from page to screen in the near future.

Audio note: we had some weird things happening this episode, so allow us to apologize in advance for any strange background noises or nose whistles that might've made it through!

LINKS OF INTEREST:

- And here's the claim for 1984 as the best year in movie history

- Wow, Todd got one right - Big was released in 1988

- Behold the vast expanse that is Eric Roberts' IMDB page

- The movies that were involved in the "points" exchange were Close Encounters of the Third Kind (Steven Speilberg), Star Wars (George Lucas), and Big Wednesday (John Milius). Pretty sure Lucas wound up getting the cut of Milius' surfing movie and the short end of the stick.

...AND ANOTHER THING:

Tim recommends checking out all the new WWE Legends A&E Biography shows from the last few weeks.

Todd thinks you should check out the documentary on screenwriter and director John Milius streaming on Amazon.
