Flash Gordon (1980)

True Stories (1986)

“Podcasting is becoming a spiritual thing. I must admit it frightens me a bit; they don't seem to see the difference between podcasting, and not podcasting. Mark! Jill! Vince! There's no concept of weekends anymore!” We’re going down to Virgil, Texas to check out 1986’s David Byrne musical comedy, “True Stories”. Harden up your heart, forget your name, and live some wild wild life, ‘cause you’re the dream operator.

Happy Birthday! On this day 3 years ago we published our first show. This year has been great, and to celebrate we are revisiting those shows in the only way we know how: a quiz show. We've got questions about the movies, questions about our guest and questions about...our questions. Thanks to everyone who has supported us. Excited for new films, new contestants and new head-scratching questions in the weeks to come. Host: Mark Nessel Contestants: Steve Goff, Bob Killion, Mo McGee

Lone Wolf McQuade (1983)

"How would you like to bite that in the butt, develop lockjaw, and be podcasted to death?" It's that time of year. Our crew is once again starting our new year of podcasting off with a another Chuck Norris movie. Our contestants discuss Norris's 'rough' image in this movie, how 'lone' McQuade actually is, as well as try to figure out what Texas Rangers actually do. Crack open a Pearl beer and toast a whole new year of films and trivia. ⁠⁠Check out Mission: Rejected Here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.missionrejected.com/] Host: Mark Nessel Contestants: Steve Goff, Bob Killion, Mo McGee

Why…Money Plane, of course. Join us this week as we explore the ins and outs of low budget, fast paced film making with the 2020 heist film, Money Plane. If you ever wondered if you could fly on a plane and make bets on things that aren’t on the plane, this episode is for you!
