episode Last Call | Jake Coker: Is College Football About To Break Away? cover

Description

Former Alabama national championship quarterback Jake Coker joins Mick Gillispie on Last Call to discuss the changing future of college football, conference realignment, and the growing debate over the College Football Playoff. Could the SEC and Big Ten eventually separate from the NCAA and create their own college football governing structure? If that happens, should the SEC expand by adding major brands like Florida State, Clemson, and Miami? Mick and Jake break down why the SEC and Big Ten continue to hold the most value in college football and what that could mean for the ACC, Big 12, Notre Dame, and the rest of the sport. The guys also dive into the future of the College Football Playoff, including the ongoing debate between a 16-team CFP format and a 24-team playoff. Would expansion help college football, or would it weaken the regular season by allowing too many multi-loss teams into the postseason? Plus, Mick and Jake discuss the end of “cupcake” games, the push for better SEC scheduling, Notre Dame’s independent status, ESPN’s influence on the playoff, preferred kickoff times, and the latest on Alabama athletics — including Alabama football, Alabama softball’s Women’s College World Series run, and Alabama baseball hosting St. John’s in the Super Regionals.

Last Call | Richard Karn Tells the Real Story Behind Becoming Al Borland

Actor Richard Karn, best known as Al Borland from the hit sitcom Home Improvement, joins The Next Round at the Delta Soul Golf Tournament for a wide-ranging conversation about his career, Hollywood, sports, and life after one of the biggest sitcoms of the 1990s. Karn shares the incredible story of how he landed the role of Al Borland, why he wasn’t the original choice for Home Improvement, and how one life-changing year brought both the start of the iconic show and the birth of his son. He also reflects on hosting Family Feud, how fans recognize him today, and how sitcom production has changed from the classic network TV era to today’s streaming and short-form content world. Plus, Karn discusses the rumors of a possible Home Improvement reboot, his admiration for Joe Namath, his love of golf, and his thoughts on NIL, the transfer portal, and how college sports have become more transactional than ever.

The Next Reel | Rotten Tomatoes Loved These Movies… We Didn’t

Just because critics love a movie doesn’t mean everyone else has to. In this episode of The Next Reel, Lance Taylor and Tyler Johns take aim at some of the most praised movies of the last several decades with their list of Movies Critics Loved… But We Hated. Every movie discussed in the main list scored 85% or higher on Rotten Tomatoes, but Lance and Tyler believe some of these critical darlings are boring, overrated, overhyped, confusing, or just not as great as their reputation suggests. The show also opens with recent movie talk, including thoughts on The Batman, Highlander, 10 Cloverfield Lane, Fast Charlie, The World According to Garp, and Disclosure Day. If you love movie rankings, Rotten Tomatoes debates, overrated movie lists, film criticism, Oscar debates, superhero movie arguments, and hot takes on classic films, this episode is for you.
