Walken 101

After discussing Walken's casting in the upcoming Dune sequel and some hot baby talk, Brandon and Kenny dive into the third episode of "The Outlaws." After discussing two characters in the show who are on extreme opposite sides of the political spectrum, Brandon and Kenny talk about controversy regarding Ricky Gervais and Dave Chappelle's stand-up routines, and fanboy over Stephen Merchant's sharp comedic timing.

Brandon and Kenny return after a two-month hiatus to watch the second episode of "The Outlaws." They explain that they had already watched this episode back in May, but the day they were set to record, Brandon's wife was admitted to the hospital for complications with her pregnancy. Regardless, Brandon has a healthy baby boy, and is ready neglect him to watch more Christopher Walken projects. After shoutouts to the Ronnies, Brandon and Kenny dive into the second episode of "The Outlaws," which they admittedly are starting to enjoy. Afterwards, they briefly touch on Chet Hanks and Tom Hanks news, and close out the show digging into the mysterious past of Tom Cruise.

The boys are back. After a long hiatus, Brandon and Kenny reunite to discuss what they've been up to, life ambitions, the pros and cons of owning a Tesla, and Christopher Walken's streaming television debut in Stephen Merchant's comedy/drama series "The Outlaws," in which Walken plays an eccentric criminal performing community service with a ragtag group of colorful characters. Before getting into the topic at hand, Brandon reads some obscure facts about Christopher Walken from the book "Christopher Walken: A to Z." They close out the podcast by talking about movies they've seen lately.

Brandon and Kenny again attempt to end their Walken 101 journey by continuing the finale, only to find that they still have much more to talk about. Topics include: child-rearing, Kenny's new Tesla, Derek G. Breu's Paul Thomas Anderson-length buddy cop movie, and Brandon and Kenny's Top 5 lists of Walken movies, from good to bad to weird. NOTE: the audio quality is a little janky because we were recording over Zoom at the same time in hopes to upload a companion video for clips we were watching. Something went wrong and Kenny lost all of his recorded audio, so the audio you hear is taken from the Zoom call. We also lost our top 5 lists of favorite scenes, which we hope to revisit next episode.

Brandon and Kenny begin to unload a mountain of information and content to wrap up this historically nonsensical podcast, in which they've personally watched every Christopher Walken project in chronological order over a period of four years. After scouring for updates on Chet Hanks and discussing their own ideal White Boy Summers, they give shoutouts to the loyal Ronnies and read some kind messages from them and other fans. Brandon then gets Kenny's reactions on a detailed analysis of Christopher Walken's films according to various film review websites, and provides some top critics choices as well as some stinkers. They discuss what movies belong on these lists, and which ones don't. Brandon then goes through a spreadsheet he made, highlighting some odd/unique/stupid Christopher Walken memorabilia and fan-made artifacts on eBay, Etsy, and other websites. Realizing that they have too much to cover, Brandon and Kenny decide to extend the finale into a part two, but not before discussing a clip that they've never seen before from a 1971 historical reenactment series called "You Are There," in which Walken played a British officer attempting to stop Paul Revere and historic ride in 1775.
