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. So grab yourself a Diablo sandwich and a Dr. Pepper, hit play, and listen in. We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there! Support the show

    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.

    Surviving, Thriving, and Laughing: Paradise, Fackham Hall, Crimson Desert, Project Hail Mary

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of the Entertain This! Podcast, the hosts venture beyond the ordinary into four wildly divergent realms of entertainment that somehow converge on a single, irresistible question: what does it take to build—or hilariously dismantle—a perfect world? They begin with the acclaimed television series Paradise, examining how its meticulously crafted utopia conceals fractures that feel eerily familiar. The conversation then shifts to the uproarious slapstick British comedy Fackham Hall, where stately corridors and whispered secrets erupt into pratfalls, pandemonium, and chaos worthy of the finest farce. From there, the discussion enters the sweeping dunes of the open-world game Crimson Desert, dissecting its breathtaking visuals, unforgiving combat, and narrative ambition that redefines what a desert odyssey can achieve. Finally, they launch into orbit with the cinematic adaptation of Project Hail Mary, praising its ingenious blend of hard science, human frailty, and high-stakes ingenuity that transforms a cosmic Hail Mary into an unforgettable ode to resilience. With sharp analysis, unexpected parallels, and the signature wit that defines the podcast, this episode delivers entertainment that is equal parts thought-provoking and thoroughly enjoyable. Tune in—your next favorite obsession may be hiding in the most unexpected place. #CrimsonDesert #Paradise #ProjectHailMary #FackhamHall #review Support the show

    Dumb and Dumber: When “So You’re Telling Me There’s a Chance?” Becomes Comedy Gold on Wheels

    Send us Fan Mail What happens when two of the dumbest guys on the planet decide that a cross-country journey in a dog-themed van is the perfect way to win back the girl of their dreams… and maybe cash in on a briefcase full of ransom money? Spoiler: hilarity ensues, and so does one of the most quotable comedies of all time. In this episode of the Entertain This! Podcast, we revisit the 1994 masterpiece Dumb and Dumber, where Lloyd and Harry prove that sometimes the best way to succeed in life is to have absolutely no idea what you’re doing. Join us as we break down Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels’ legendary comedic chemistry, the film’s gloriously crude humor, and why this Farrelly Brothers classic still delivers belly laughs more than thirty years later. From the “most annoying sound in the world” to the infamous toilet scene, the Aspen ski slopes, and that immortal line—“So you’re telling me there’s a chance?”—we explore how Dumb and Dumber turned stupidity into an art form and became a cornerstone of 1990s buddy comedy. If you’re in the mood for big laughs and zero brain cells required, this episode is your ticket. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or finally ready to experience the dumbest road trip in movie history, tune in for witty analysis, plenty of quotable moments, and our definitive take on one of Hollywood’s most delightfully brainless treasures.

  7. Leon’s Back & Zombies Are Salty: Breaking Down Resident Evil Requiem + 30 Years of Survival Horror Chaos

    Leon’s Back & Zombies Are Salty: Breaking Down Resident Evil Requiem + 30 Years of Survival Horror Chaos

    Send us Fan Mail The latest episode of the Entertain This! Podcast plunges headfirst into the shadowy corridors of the Resident Evil franchise, with a razor-sharp review of Capcom’s freshly released ninth mainline installment (and eleventh overall), Resident Evil: Requiem—because apparently the series needed yet another reason to make us question every dark corner since 1996. Launched on February 27, 2026, Requiem introduces FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft, who finds herself unraveling a trail of mysterious deaths tied to Raccoon City survivors, while players alternate control with the ever-enduring Leon S. Kennedy—because nothing says “fresh horror” like sharing the spotlight with a man who has aged like fine wine and zombie-killing adrenaline. The hosts deliver a meticulous breakdown of its survival horror credentials, pulse-pounding action set pieces, narrative ambition, and technical polish, assessing just how deftly it marries the franchise’s signature tension with today’s cinematic flair across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and the newly arrived Nintendo Switch 2. The conversation then takes a well-deserved victory lap through the series’ storied legacy, tracing its evolution from the original tank-controlled nightmare through every mutation, reboot, and questionable live-action detour that followed. Expect sharp observations on recurring motifs, character arcs (yes, even the ones that somehow survived), and the gameplay innovations that have kept this undead saga shambling forward for nearly three decades. Finally, the episode peers into the crystal ball—or perhaps the foggy remains of Raccoon City—for the franchise’s next moves as it celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2026. The discussion weighs in on likely remakes, potential DLC expansions, and Capcom’s delicate tightrope walk between pure horror, over-the-top action, and coherent storytelling. This installment provides a comprehensive, even-handed dissection that will satisfy veteran survivors and those just now daring to open the Spencer Mansion doors. Tune in for incisive analysis, lively debate, and the kind of enthusiasm that proves why Resident Evil remains one of survival horror’s most resilient—and terrifyingly addictive—legends.

    Knight of the Sevenish Kingdoms: The Man Just Kept Getting Up

    Send us Fan Mail Join us on the Entertain This! podcast for a chivalrous dissection of HBO’s A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, where we gallantly charge through each episode of this Game of Thrones prequel, set a century before the Iron Throne became everyone’s favorite hot seat. Follow the towering Ser Duncan the Tall and his pint-sized squire Egg as they navigate Westeros’ thorny politics and perilous tourneys—proving that in Martin’s world, even hedge knights can uproot dynasties. We scrutinize pivotal scenes from “The Hedge Knight” (January 18, 2026), “Hard Salt Beef” (January 25, 2026), “The Squire” (February 1, 2026), “Seven” (February 8, 2026), “In the Name of the Mother” (February 15, 2026), and the climactic “The Morrow” (February 22, 2026), delving into character arcs, unexpected twists, and ties to the larger saga—because who needs dragons when you have dramatic irony? Shifting to more refined pursuits, we waltz into Netflix’s Bridgerton Season 4, fully unveiled after its bifurcated debut on January 29 and February 26, 2026. This octet of episodes spotlights Benedict Bridgerton’s masquerade mishap with the mysterious Sophie Baek, weaving romance, scandal, and Shondaland splendor—reminding us that in Regency England, love is but a ballroom away from a societal slip-up. We then gear up for a critical evaluation of Netflix’s sci-fi spectacle War Machine (premiered March 6, 2026), with Alan Ritchson as an Army Ranger battling extraterrestrial automatons—proving that when machines wage war, humanity’s best defense is a well-oiled action hero. Under Patrick Hughes’ direction, the film unleashes intense skirmishes and probes themes of endurance against alien incursions, where survival hinges on more than just firepower. Concluding with our host’s astute musings on Arc Raiders, the PvPvE extraction shooter launched October 30, 2025, after wrapping Mitch’s first expedition—a fleeting foray into scavenging, convoy crafting, and reset rigors. We explore its tactical intricacies, strategic layers, and dystopian domain, offering guidance for novices and veterans alike—because in a post-apocalyptic raid, wit is the ultimate loot.
