Cigarette Burns

"Legend has it, when the Santa Anas blow, anything can happen."  Happy Holidays Burners! Join us as we close out the year talking about one of our favorite holiday movies, The Holiday.  We tackle everything from how great Kate Winslet is, to how highly regarded Ed Burns is in the Williams household.  We've also got a few hot takes including what Graham is holding in his back pocket other than self tanner.  Grab your hot chocolate and get close to the fire because this episode is straight up rom com magic.

Today we’re trying something a little different.  For a long time, we’ve been talking about the Hollywood stock we’ve bought, how it turned out, and whose future we’d invest in today.  Our inescapable hubris made us believe you’d like to hear that conversation, so HERE IT IS!  You’re gonna hear names like Skeet Ulrich and James Purefoy (busts), Rosario Dawson and Anna Kendrick (stocks we’ll never sell), and Anya Taylor-Joy and Jonathan Majors (blue chip, first round picks).  This episode is essentially a long list (although we had hundreds more) of people we love, no matter what category they’re in.  Get ready for a dose of nostalgia for those we love, sadness for those who don’t seem to be coming back, hope for the return of old favorites, and giddy optimism for the next generation.  Also, you’ll get to follow the results of our futures draft!!

"I will speak for you, father. I speak for all mediocrities in the world. I am their champion. I am the patron's saint."  Join us as we discuss the pitch perfect masterpiece Amadeus.  This film has everything one would want and more.  We can't do the film justice but we certainly try.  Listen for Jedd coming in with an extremely hot take right out of the gate and listen closely for when Cole compares himself to Elizabeth Berridge.  Grab your marzipan and sit back and enjoy this fun filled episode.

We’re back baby!!  And we knock the rust off while breaking down 1994’s "The Scout".  Yeah, we talk about this flawed beauty, but most importantly we can’t stop talking about two of our favorites, Brendan Fraser and Albert Brooks.  Thanks for the patience and we’re pumped to get started again!

"My Man"  We don't throw around masterpiece lightly but when we say this is a forgotten masterpiece, we ain't kidding.  Denzel, RC and a supporting cast that will make you say "Hey, I can't believe they are in this too!"  We go over everything from the hottest of takes to the mass cultivation that has become Russell Crowe's career.  Get your kung pao chicken and enjoy this very special episode.
