    Episode 42: Feeling Minnesota

    Episode 42: Feeling Minnesota

    Join us on a journey to the land of 1,000 lakes as we visit this forgotten product of the 90s indie boom, "Feeling Minnesota". Dan Aykroyd takes an unprecedented turn playing a crooked, sleazy detective, and Vincent D'Onofrio punches everyone he sees.

    In this episode, the boys discuss nominative determinism, Dan first on screen murder, and what made Preston such a bad student.

    Dan is back in the saddle in this lost 90s gem with Daniel Stern. It also stands as an early entry into Judd Apatow's writing career, with some great pieces of humor despite its occasional speed bumps. Join Preston and Nathaniel as they discuss their degenerate lives while attending greasy horse tracks, award-winning home plumbing services, and ice hockey in Texas.

    Episode 40: Getting Away with Murder

    Listeners, this one almost broke us. Instead of talking about the film, we talk about The Menu, Jonestown, and whether or not we as humans are doomed to repeat history. Enjoy!

Fun fun fun!

So much fun. I have only seen a handful of these movies but it doesn't even matter. Preston & Nathanial walk you through the plot, impact and behind the scenes stories of each movie so it's delightful whether you've seen the film or not. Give it a listen!

Aykroydian to its core!

The only podcast to not only dive deep into Dan Akroyd’s career and impact on film, but to ado so in a style that would delight the man himself! With its conehead scoring system, bizarre sound effects, and random tangents, the hosts themselves are carving out a show with a voice that reflects the films they are watching. Preston and Nathaniel are fun to listen to and two people I’d love to have a beer with and talk movies!!!
