Episode #454: Count on 'The Sheep Detectives'

If you didn’t have “Hugh Jackman/CGI Talking sheep murder mystery” down as a lock to be both a critical hit and a box office success, you’d be forgiven. Does it help or hurt to know that it’s director did all the MINIONS movies and it’s screenwriter did both THE HANGOVER and HBO’s CHERNOBYL? We get into all of that, plus our favorite moments in talking animal moviedom!

[BONUS] Drea on 'Sleeping With Celebrities' Minisode: Bigfoot Guys, Aliens Guys, and That’s the Two Types of Guys

Support great shows like this one! Er, these TWO! Head to maximumfun.org/join right now to pledge your allegiance. And THANK YOU! Drea made a guest appearance on John Moe's SLEEPING WITH CELEBRITIES and we're dropping it for you in this feed as a special #MaxFunDrive treat. Drea Clark, one of the hosts of the popular and important Maximum Film! podcast has a theory: all middle-aged Guys think about the Roman Empire but from there, the Guys separate into Bigfoot Guys and Alien Guys. Sure, there are anomalies but you can mostly separate guys into those groups. Our host, John Moe, Bigfoot Guy, gets Drea’s opinion on where Rock History Guys, Computer Guys, and other Guys sort out into the Bigfoot and Aliens camps. Is it an airtight taxonomic argument? Not really. Is it an intriguing enough argument to let you conk out? Oh yes. It’s MaxFunDrive! Become a Max Fun member and supporter of Sleeping with Celebrities by going to the link: www.MaximumFun.org/joinsleeping.

Casters on Casters: MaxFilm! Double Feature

It's MaxFunDrive. And here, for the first time, we give you an exclusive look (well, listen) at the craft of podcasting: presenting Casters on Casters. For MaxFilm! listeners, we're kicking off the MaxFunDrive with a DOUBLE FEATURE of Casters on Casters. Both Alonso Duralde and Drea Clark participated in two separate recordings of this incredibly important podcasting event. The first episode you'll hear features Alonso chatting with Ben Blacker (Dead Pilots Society) and Hal Lublin (Tights and Fights & We Got This with Mark and Hal). In the second episode, the Queen of the Midwest chats with Ella Hubber (Let's Learn Everything!) and Allan McLeod (Walkin' About). In other words, we're bringing you six different podcasting perspectives in one big super episode. You'll hear name dropping, podcast origin stories, ruminations on the art form, listener contributions to the show and what makes Maximum Fun a great place to have a show. All this, and more! If this glamorous, in-depth journey into what makes your favorite hosts tick inspires you, support them by joining as a member at maximumfun.org/join. Produced by Laura Swisher for Maximum Fun.

I love this podcast. I have nothing in common with the hosts but I love it. My kids and my husband are shook by the swearing but I just say; look that’s their choice, I expect you to keep your language clean when in public. Totalmente me encanta las partes españoles, que me acuerda del tiempo antes que aprendí a hablar como ustedes. Buen hablo río platense... You infiltrate my life and just a few minutes ago my husband suggested that we watch Bohemian Rhapsody and I responded. “You know what, Alonso though that they ignored his homosexuality, but if you keep that in mind we can watch it.” Alonso, quien? Thanks! Gracias! Tack! Oh, but you probably won’t see this since I’m on a Swedish account. Oh Well.
