Pick Six Movies

Pick Six Movies is a movie podcast where each season we select six movies, all related to a single theme. We examine the history of the people in front of and behind the camera, try to make sense of how and why the movie was made, then discuss each one in way too much detail to see if they are any good. Pick Six Movies is hosted by Bo Ransdell and Chad Cooper, two life-long friends with a shared passion for discussing things they barely understand in an attempt to make each other laugh.

    S26: Episode 1: Heartbeeps

    It’s a new season of Pick Six Movies, and we are getting cozy with our future robot overlords. We’re looking at six movies all about robots and what better place to start than with a movie that almost no one has seen, 1981’s Heartbeeps! How could a movie starring Andy Kaufman and Bernadette Peters with music by John Williams be this big a stinker? Is Andy Kaufman-bot ready to be a father? And is the movie really just wandering in the woods? These questions and more answered on a new episode! 00:00:00 – 00:01:14 – Welcome to the Show with Bo 00:01:15 – 00:33:14 – Andy Kaufman and the Story of Heartbeeps with Chad 00:33:15 – End – Discussing Heartbeeps with the Boys Thanks for listening and be sure to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pandora, iHeartRadio, Podchaser, Google Podcasts, and on Android here.
