Big Screen Club w/ Butch and Ben Benjamin Bjorlie

The best podcast that has ever been made.

These guys are geniuses, the Orson Wells and Stanley Kubrick of the podcast world. Peter Jackson called and said if he could do it all over again he’d start a podcast with these two. Francis Ford Coppola hopes Butch and Bens first children are masculine children. Martin Scorsese would trade mobster plot-lines for the chance to sit down with Butch and Ben for 20 mins. Tarantino said he would trade Samuel Jackson and DiCaprio for half the knowledge of Butch and Ben. Steven Spielberg said this podcast is so epic it makes his films look like a broadway play about a guy in solitary confinement. Christopher Nolan said this podcast is so meta he isn’t sure if he’s living life in reverse, reincarnated, or just living a dream. Nicolas Cage was invited as a guest actor on the podcast and declined, he felt his personality wouldn’t show through across from Butch and Ben. Ken burns said he can’t keep up with the immense flood of information coming from Butch and Ben. Tom Cruise said he wouldn’t be able to consistently perform as an actor in the same room as the Big Screen Club, “watching these guys is like watching Elrond Hubbard write Dianetics”. Hanz Zimmer said the intro music is better than anything he’s heard. NPR offered to buy the opening 30sec commercial for filler time on their stations across the nation. You will never hear a 20 min review of movies along side a review of Bens homemade pudding and meringues, unless you listen to this podcast. Butch intervened, but these guys cannot be stopped.

I was at my lowest point. The pandemic had taken its role and I had exhausted my podcast knowledge. I was told to give Big Screen Club a try. As I walked through the snow, I only noticed one set of footprints. That’s when I realized the Big Screen Club was carrying me.
