Episode 28: Podcasts are Like a Box of Chocolates

Published: Aug. 9, 2020, 1:53 a.m.

Patrick’s jump starts the convo this week with an emboldened defense of Forrest Gump (2:06). Then, hold onto your butts for a Movies We’ve Seen (15:44) segment featuring analysis of 1989’s Kickboxer, a deep dive into the first of the 1970’s James Bond films - Diamonds are Forever, and more.  Enjoy another brief conversation about TV (35:02) with a focus on the future and world building of the Star Trek franchise.  In a stunning move, books are discussed (41:13) and a few podcasts are recommended before the latest Entertainment News is covered (49:40) with tributes to some legends we’ve lost since last time [fair warning: it gets dark], the state of the latest theatrical releases, and movie cars you could own.  The latest segment of Guess that Rotten Tomato Score features the misunderstood films of M. Night Shyamalan (1:05:19).  Then enjoy a few Hidden Gem recommendations (1:30:51) for the continued quarantine.  Shout out to 2000’s Reindeer Games and all the real life Space Cowboys pushing humanity forward in this wonderful, shared adventure of existence.

As always, thanks for listening, and sincerest apologies for not talking more about Tolkien’s magnum opus, The Lord of the Rings.
