Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby

Late Nights at Blockbuster If you’re not first, you’re last! Our latest Late Nights at Blockbuster is celebrating the 20th anniversary of Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. We discuss how no one actually refers to this movie by it’s official title. Buckle in for a long list of favorite quotes and scenes. It’s safe to say that we had to dig deep to find some good spiritual metaphors or illustrations for this one. Intro/Outro music by friend of the podcast Seth Gilbertson.

Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves

Late Nights at Blockbuster To the trees, to the trees! Our next Late Nights at Blockbuster is the 35th anniversary of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. The Drax winner was so easy that we had to do the runner up discussion. After we talk glowingly about how much we still enjoy the movie, we talk for a solid 15 minutes on our “Who Beefed” section. We round out the conversation with some action figure talk for those that were around our age when this came out. Intro/Outro music by friend of the podcast Seth Gilbertson.

X-men: First Class

Late Nights at Blockbuster We are celebrating the 15th anniversary of X-men: First Class this week. We gush over the direction, the way that it has aged, and all the actors (all but one). There are a couple of big plot holes/quibbles even though this is a comic book movie and we are already suspending our disbelief. Everyone breaks out as a a star after this movie so our acting categories was a little lengthy. As if we needed more evidence that we are losing our minds in our old age, we ask ourselves in the middle of the podcast if we did an X-men ranking podcast. (Byers was correct, we did it back in 2023.) https://open.spotify.com/episode/6baWVhw8ZCscwBgSnIpQUN?si=wTeuLKUwQ7S0InesqLdirQ  Intro/Outro music by friend of thepodcast Seth Gilbertson.
