    Bonus Bantober: Jared Leto & Other Falling Stars

    Bantober may be on life support, but it ain't dead yet! For all of you who enjoyed the absurd amount of banter that we've brought you over the past month, you'll be happy to hear that there's a little bit more left over. Today we bring you the final bits of banter that weren't quite good enough to make the regular Bantober episode or the banter episode from earlier in Bantober. God, it's been a long Bantober. First the boys discuss former SNL cast members and the advertisements they choose to do, including our favorite former member Beck Bennett. Have times gotten tough for all these actors, or is SNL no longer the career launching pad it once was? And can the BMO ad agency please hire Sonny to write some advertisements that are actually enjoyable? After that, we bring you two parts of a larger discussion about the new Tron movie, which stars Jared Leto and former political talk show host Hasan Minhaj for some reason. First the fellas talk about political pundits like Minhaj and the difficulty of having a career beyond political comedy, and then they discuss Jared Leto and the difficulty of having a career beyond being extremely creepy and weird. Why is Hollywood still casting this guy, especially to lead a blockbuster? Are we unaware of thousands of Leto fans who loyally show up to all of his movies? Who knows. At this point the description of this episode is probably longer than the regular Bantober episode, so I'll wrap things up. A happy Bantober to you and yours! #Bantober #SpiritOfBantober #BantoberBlitzkrieg #BantoberBonusBites Hosted by Sonny de Nocker (@swankysonny) and Tom Price (@thomas_price22).

    An Emmy For Arnold

    After a hiatus that was inexcusably long, the boys are back to celebrate Episode 40! And since it's a special occasion, they decided to give you a special episode that harkens back to the idea that started it all. Instead of turning their iconic film Olympia into a mini series, the boys try to craft an original series that would get Arnold Schwarzenegger a Primetime Emmy Award from the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. And they came to play, because the show they create is a banger, if we do say so ourselves. I won't spoil too much in this description, but let's just say Arnie will be taking a trip to Eastern Europe and flexing his political chops again, this time in a more dictatorial way. Can Arnold hold on to this Seat of Power, or is his reign as a nation's leader destined to fail? Beyond just the premise, the boys plot out the rough skeleton of the plot, cast the supporting actors, and even select some writers and directors to help bring this vision to life. If this doesn't win an Emmy for Arnold, nothing will. Don't worry, we know you're all waiting to hear what the opening segment will be. Today the boys imagine Arnold in the role of Thomas Mitchell's character Doc Boone in John Ford's 1939 picture "Stagecoach." Can Arnold handle playing a drunken old doctor in the wild west? Yes, we think he certainly can. Although whether or not he can win an Oscar in the early years of World War II might prove to be a challenge.

    The Fans Pick the Topic

    Today, we wanted to give back to all you loyal listeners out there. The fans who have stood by our side for every episode. There's enough of you to populate a small village. Really more of a hamlet, if we're being honest. But we figured it was your turn to decide what Sonny and Tom were going to talk about for once. So we went to Instagram and asked the fans what they wanted to hear. We then compiled seven of those topics from seven different people and got busy talking. Simple as that.  So if you'd like to hear the boys tackle topics such as which celebrity is going to die next, how Arnold Schwarzenegger would fare on The White Lotus, and the recent drama surrounding Patti LuPone, you've come to the right place. And if you would not like to hear the boys tackle those topics, you should keep an eye on our Instagram page (@AnOscarForArnold) and submit your own topic next time we ask. It pays to be a fan! The boys also give you a juicy opening segment, pondering what it would look like if Arnold Schwarzenegger took over the role that Matthew McConaughey played in 2013's "Dallas Buyers Club." Could Arnold also win an Oscar portraying a Texas man dying of AIDS? Or is that a step too far, even for our boy? And is Dallas Buyers Club a product of its time despite taking place in the 80s? Dive in to this episode and let's find out together. Hosted by Sonny de Nocker (@swankysonny) and Tom Price (@thomas_price22).

    "2nd Career" Actor Bracket

    This is a bracket episode dedicated to all the celebrities who became famous for something other than acting (basically as a musician or athlete) and then became actors afterwards. Just wanted to start by clearing that up because the title does not really convey it but we didn't know what else to call this bracket. We're talking about people like Lady Gaga, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Eminem, and Cher. Sixteen celebrities like that are going head-to-head as we decide who the best actor among them is. To make things harder, we've decided to avoid celebrities who started out in another career but are now most well-known for acting, such as Will Smith and Mark Wahlberg. And although we do have a couple people on the list who have won acting Oscars, that doesn't necessarily guarantee a win for them in our eyes. And if you disagree, join us on Instagram for the fan vote to make your own voice heard! Then there's the opening segment, Arnold in a Famous Role, where the boys discuss how Arnold Schwarzenegger would do if he played the role that won Jeremy Irons an Academy Award in 1990's "Reversal of Fortune." Which also features Glenn Close as a character who spends almost the whole movie in a coma, yet she somehow still secured first billing on this film's cast. That's a star, right there.  Hosted by Sonny de Nocker (@swankysonny) and Tom Price (@thomas_price22).

  5. Bonus Banter: Patrick Schwarzenegger & Benny Blanco

    Bonus Banter: Patrick Schwarzenegger & Benny Blanco

    Not to toot our own horn here, but we think that last episode was probably the best banter episode we've ever done. So it's only natural that it would come with an incredible bonus banter episode attached to it. Enjoy the bits that weren't quite good enough for the regular episode, but still deserve some love. First Sonny and Tom discuss the recent success of Arnold's son Patrick Schwarzenegger, who has been making waves with his performance in White Lotus and has the most milquetoast Twitter account of all time. Then they talk about Selena Gomez's fiancé Benny Blanco and the epidemic of subpar men landing successful celebrities. That includes Ariana Grande's partner Ethan Slater, Lana del Ray's partner Louisiana Swamp Man, and hopefully will one day include Billie Eilish's partner Sonny. Then the boys briefly discuss Amazon's recent acquisition of the James Bond franchise, which scares us all. They round it out with a political topic, which we told you was on the way! The boys analyze the post-presidency lives of U.S. presidents, with the recent news that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris signed with CAA. And let's just say your hosts have a bone to pick with many recent presidents and their post-office paydays. Hosted by Sonny de Nocker (@swankysonny) and Tom Price (@thomas_price22).
