  1. The Terminator: Come With Us If You Want To Podcast

    The Terminator: Come With Us If You Want To Podcast

    Send us Fan Mail "I'll be back." It’s the phrase that launched a billion-dollar franchise, turned a former bodybuilder into an absolute icon, and gave everyone a permanent fear of red A.I. This week on ‘Entertain This!’, Mitch and Tom are hopping into a stolen ’77 Chevy and tracking down James Cameron’s 1984 sci-fi masterpiece, ‘The Terminator’. Join the guys as they break down the gritty, low-budget masterpiece that perfectly blended tech-noir atmosphere with relentless, heart-pounding action. Tom unpacks the tactical terrifying realism of a cybernetic organism that literally will not stop until you are dead, while Mitch tries to figure out the logistics of 1980s time travel physics (and why Kyle Reese decided to steal hobo pants and never upgrade). From Brad Fiedel’s iconic, metallic heartbeat score to Stan Winston’s legendary practical effects, we are diving deep into why this gritty thriller still holds up over four decades later. Was Sarah Connor the ultimate blueprint for the modern action heroine? How did Arnold manage to be utterly terrifying with only 14 lines of dialogue? And honestly, how much chain-link fence is ‘too’ much chain-link fence for a final showdown? Dust off your leather jacket, leave your phased plasma rifle in the 40-watt range at home, and press play.

    Darin Toonder: Grand Theft Floral & Primetime Television (Interview)

    Send us Fan Mail How do you transition from dominating local recreation leagues to navigating a post-apocalyptic political thriller or avoiding the Ozark cartels? You ask Darin Toonder. This week on Entertain This!, we sit down with an incredibly versatile actor whose face you’ve undoubtedly seen on some of the biggest shows on television. We dive deep into his stacked resume, discussing what it’s like to bounce from the comedic perfection of Parks and Rec and Modern Family to the gritty tension of Ozark, his role as Agent Melvin Rainey in Hulu's Paradise, and his latest turn in the wild new supernatural horror movie, Obsession. But acting is only half the story. Before he was sharing scenes with Hollywood’s elite, Darin was building a legacy in a much more cutthroat arena: adult league softball. We also get a legendary tale on his rose-stealing abilities (yes, you read that right). Grab your sunflower seeds and a cold drink—it’s time to talk shop, sports, and petty floral theft. Want to stay updated? Make sure to subscribe to Entertain This! on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your ear-candy, and leave us a 5-star review if you want Mitch or Tom to steal a rose for you.

    Send us Fan Mail What happens when you pair a Ryan Reynolds look-alike with a manager who is entirely too good at exploiting a resemblance? You get a laugh-out-loud cinematic juggernaut that feels like The Office met This Is Spinal Tap in the middle of a Hollywood red carpet, “I AM RYAN” releasing May 22nd in theaters. This week, we are sitting down with the multi-hyphenate mastermind himself: Hobart! From touring the world on the legendary Warped Tour to composing high-octane soundtracks for video games like Deadpool, Watch Dogs, and Age of Empires, Hobart has done it all. We dive deep into his incredible journey from a 2006 indie rock musician to an LA actor booking major commercials, developing musical hardware, and—yes—hosting the daily sensation Live Play Bingo. We’re breaking down the madness of his hilarious new film, how he balances scoring massive video games with acting, and what it’s really like to navigate the blurry line between reality and Hollywood illusion.

    Predator : The Jungle is Alive (Throwback)

    Send us Fan Mail "If it bleeds, we can kill it." Strap in for a trip down memory lane as Tom and I tackle the raw energy and wild antics of the 1987 blockbuster, ‘Predator’. We’re diving deep into the sweltering Mexican jungle to bring you the inside scoop on Arnold Schwarzenegger’s legendary onset pranks and the cast's off-screen rivalries that turned the heat up to eleven. From the iconic "epic handshake" to the sheer, unadulterated manliness that defined 80s action, we’re reliving the explosive entrance of Dutch and his crew. In This Episode: The Mud Myth: We revisit Dutch’s desperate face-off with our favorite extraterrestrial hunter. We discuss the tension of Billy’s last stand and the science behind the mud—including why that famous thermal-vision trick wouldn't actually work in real life.   A Warrior’s Code: A breakdown of the Predator’s sense of honor and why the final mano-a-mano showdown remains one of the most electrifying sequences in cinematic history. The Future of the Hunt: From casting curiosities to the massive impact on pop culture, we look at where the franchise is headed—including the latest buzz surrounding the sequel to ‘Prey’. Tokyo Drift (The Dark Kind): We take a hard turn from the jungle into the criminal underbelly of Tokyo for a look at the grit and glamour of the Yakuza in media. The Loading Screen: We wrap things up with our usual gaming laughs, hardware gripes, and the TV show updates you need to stay ahead of the curve. “Get to the chopper!" and hit play—the jungle is always more thrilling with friends. Whether you're a long-time fan of the hunt or a newcomer to the thermal-vision hype, you won't want to miss this wild ride.

This week on ‘Entertain This!’, we are putting the pedal to the metal and crossing state lines to revisit the undisputed king of 1970s vehicular mayhem: ‘Smokey and the Bandit’. Join us as we ride shotgun with Burt Reynolds at his absolute peak-swagger, cheer on Sally Field as the ultimate runaway bride, and marvel at the sheer, unadulterated comedic genius of Jackie Gleason as the relentlessly frustrated Sheriff Buford T. Justice. We're breaking down how a movie with a plot that essentially boils down to "fetching beer very quickly" became an absolute cultural phenomenon.  In this episode, we discuss…  The Power of the Stache: Analyzing the undeniable charisma of Burt Reynolds and his iconic look.  The Lost Art of the CB Radio: How handle names and trucker slang became the original social media. Buford T. Justice: Why Jackie Gleason's legendary improvised insults steal the entire movie. Fact or Fiction: Is it actually mathematically possible to drive from Texarkana to Atlanta and back in 28 hours? Whether you're a classic car aficionado or just someone who appreciates a good old-fashioned police chase, this movie still fires on all cylinders.

    Mr. Mom : Irv, We Don’t Need a Price Check

    Send us Fan Mail Can a dad truly master the delicate art of motherhood without turning the kitchen into an inferno?  In this episode of Entertain This! Podcast, we revisit the 1983 comedy classic Mr. Mom, starring Michael Keaton as a newly unemployed executive thrust into the uncharted territory of full-time domesticity. We confront the persistent stigma that “dads can’t handle the job,” drawing pointed comparisons to our own family experiences with role reversals.  Along the way, we recount the uproariously chaotic day-to-day realities faced by a novice stay-at-home father—from culinary disasters to tactical diaper deployments—proving that parenting’s greatest challenges transcend gender and deliver equal measures of humility and hilarity.  Tune in for a sharp, heartfelt, and laugh-out-loud examination of family dynamics that may just redefine who wears the apron in your household.

    Fargo : When “Yah Sure” Turns into “Yah Murder”

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of the Entertain This! Podcast, we review the 1996 Coen Brothers film Fargo, where snowy politeness occasionally masks rather unremarkable miscalculations, including one notably memorable woodchipper incident. We examine the film’s competent blend of crime, dark humor, and Midwestern restraint, noting Frances McDormand’s steady portrayal of Marge Gunderson alongside William H. Macy’s depiction of hapless desperation. While the Coens’ dialect-driven wit and visual irony lend a measure of amusement to this tale of ambition gone somewhat sideways, the narrative ultimately registers as solid yet unexceptional. Spoiler filled and measured in tone, tune in for our balanced assessment of why Fargo qualifies as a respectable, if not indispensable, example of independent filmmaking.  New episodes are released on a regular schedule; subscribe today.
