A Little Independent

Hello indie movie friends. On this fine Independence Day, we welcome you to NOT episode 28 and urge you to, rather than eat the traditional holiday fare, consider Eating…Raoul? See what we did there? In a movie Todd describes as “funny with a Capital C” we dive into the beautiful grime of the 80’s and bring you what may be our dirtiest podcast yet. In this episode, we ask whether the original Death Race 2000 is a comedy, whether Mary is a vampire, Todd marvels at the character of Diane “She Bitch” Slutface, we remember that the Jerky Boys made a movie (rest in peace Alan Arkin…we know you are a legend and made totally amazing movies), Ryan gives way too much credit to Amazon and our potential Overlord Bezos, and we realize how hard it was to do murder in the 80’s…Especially if you’re working through the mail. Thank you for listening to our show and please engage with us over email or Facebook. And yes, we know the first 911 call was made in 1968…Now. #waitwait #arewerolling #montedoroforever #thelunchroom #80sladies #nomoreimpressions #cannibalsexmovie #fourasterisks #tengrandgrin #doristhedominatrix #allthecreeps #publicenemy

Movie friends, here we are, awash in the lingering glow of movie and comics talk and new friends made (we cannot be more thankful for our time at Cherry Capital Comic Con) and find ourselves with our first real deal conspiracy theory movie that asks…What would Ron Pearlman look like as a full-blown hippy? The answer is: Ron Pearlman is awesome in everything, sucker. Here we are with an episode that we feel may solidify Mr. Pearlman’s status as an ALIVIPMVP. In this episode, that may count as our most naked movie yet…we also: Bring back Todd’s “Spiritual Moment”, talk about The Shining way too much, love America but know the Brits rule our movies, struggle really badly with classical music, Todd reminds us if you’re French (“I love that shit”), you’re in, Ryan proposes marriage to Gerard Butler and we urge you to not put turds on your turntables. Note: The tech peeps let us know we have a little love in Belgium and hey, our movie was filmed there. Let us know you love us Belgium! #waitwait #arewerolling #montedoroforever #thelunchroom #onecopy #notacreep #renatus #silvershamrock #burythesecrets #alivipmvp #trampolines

Friends. Family. We are so excited for Cherry Capital Comic Con weekend and that we get to be a part of it that we have another new episode for you. Remember, we’re all out of order here and references may be slightly outdated, but all hopefully charming nonetheless. In this “improvisational jazz” episode, we discuss a film that has a message. Please be kind to the Earth and each other for f**k’s sake. Once again, we see why opposites attract in our hosts as we hear why not to cross Ashton Kutcher, Ryan gets all nostalgic about Vision Video, new “uniforms" are tested out, Todd reminisces about all his hangs with Sinbad and Bruce Lee, we discuss a good trying on of clothes montage, we have a historic first assist from a caller, Ryan apparently has it in for New Yorkers, and its still depressing how much more money “that other movie” made over this one. Come on everyone. Sir Richard gets it #waitwait #arewerolling #montedoroforever #thelunchroom #onecopy #climatechangeisrealforreal #visionvideo #ahhhhhzombies #jazz #hitadime #family

Wow friends. Todd is sur le fue and we’ve got ALL the things in this one. We’ve really got a whole lot packed into this 17-hour episode. In a movie that asks: If there is a murderer on the loose and your daughter is the target, do you still do your full 3-hour morning routine before checking on her? "Smells is what we’re talking about” and we are sharing so much more. In this episode, we explore the erotic side of Todd’s texts, how to stay balanced, provide tips on how to stay cool and collected when a murderer is on the loose, discuss which movie had grosser sounds (this one or Skin of the Wolf), Todd confuses Harry Potter and a pivotal Carpenter film and…oh yeah..Todd kidnapped someone; who is…on the show now? We are also beyond excited to have a table at Cherry Capital Comic Con May 26-28 at Grand Traverse Resort & Spa. Please come to check out this amazing event. The time in the movie you’re looking for is 05:28 Thanks to Mary and the Wine Mom's for the recommendation #waitwait #arewerolling #montedoroforever #thelunchroom #helloclarice #birthsquirt #snapeplisken #laura #dressquick #amoreandpsyche #alembiccat #alanrickman www.cherrycapitalcomiccon.com

Hello A Little Independent Friends. Right out the gate we are human and are sorry, the audio on this episode is a little under par in spots and for that we are again, very sorry. We aim for the best, but hope you can roll with us. Alas, here we are with another episode and we find ourselves asking the question: What if a suburban white kid drizzled a bunch of acid on a fun-loving trailer park? We know, it sounds like it’s “just plain weird” and it totally is. It is a movie that made Todd exclaim: “You know what…it made me laugh.” Ryan was also heard saying about the film, “It’s a feel-good movie.” And it’s about time we brought you an honest to goodness feel good one. Also in this episode, we unveil a new “corporate” look; We try to figure out where to land on Alligator boots; a very important ALI totem is brought to the team by Santa; William Fichtner’s performance in Drive Angry 3D is amazing, Topher Grace’s best roles are elucidated, Todd’s metal detecting finds its limit, Ryan once again wastes everyone’s time talking about Dabney Coleman and we hit hard on the ever incendiary topic of Ewok abuse. Wicket, we’ve got your back, bro. #waitwait #arewerolling #montedoroforever #thelunchroom #williamfichtner #swampthings #stopewokabuse #notasponsor #soum

Everyone, we have a movie here that is probably our most prestigious? It sure did attract all of the awards that year as well as launched as Todd says, the “biggest female superstar of this generation” and someone we know would probably be a guest on our show if we ask…just because she seems cool as hell, honestly. We are going “back to the woods, baby” and featuring a film with the best random black and white squirrel imagery we’ve ever seen and a film that could have been a sweet Hunger Games prequel of sorts if people were smart. In this episode we talk about this “wonderful fairy tale” that allows us to show love for character actors again (Can we get John Hawkes to go by JHaw?) discuss the best movies to watch with your teenager (All The President’s Men, anyone?) the worst ways to do laundry, Todd exposes Ryan’s city roots, we do a travel ad for Christian and Taney Counties and we wonder where Joe Piscopo is. Thank you honestly for listening to our podcast. We do it because we love it, but we do hope you like it too. In the words of Uncle Teardrop, “Is this going to be our time?” #waitwait #arewerolling #montedoroforever #thelunchroom squirrelnightmare #breadandbutter #uncleteardrop #jhaw #notthatbond #thisoldhouse #bobvila #visitchristian #visittaney #ryanisdepressed

No, it’s not that The Mule. It’s not the one with Clint Eastwood as a…you know, drug mule. It’s about another drug mule and one, we will say, that came before the honorable Clint. You may have noticed we’re dropping this early and it is just one…we could not hold in, any longer. And if one terrible pun isn’t enough, Todd says about this episode, “Everything has gone to shit.” In our The Mule, we look at a movie that really asks something of you. And is it just because of…”The Scene.” Is it the hardest thing we’ve ever had to watch? Perhaps. Is this Hugo Weaving’s best work? For sure. In this episode we also do a bunch of bad Australian impressions, Todd tells a scintillating scatological work story, Ryan reminisces about microfiche, we wonder if our podcast should be studied by science and we discuss what may be considered, a “masterful” fart scene #waitwait #arewerolling #montedoroforever #thelunchroom #ohlord #pooprefusal #pucker #thescene

Hello movie friends, and welcome to an episode of A Little Independent, that will hopefully either compliment your elated mood from the Super Bowl, bring you back from the brink of seemingly incurable depression from the Super Bowl, or more likely, you didn’t know the Super Bowl even happened and are psyched that we are bringing you our FIRST REQUEST! This iconic movie was requested by a listener, happens to be a movie Ryan has never seen, and our most “pelvic” movie yet. Also in this episode we get mad about Firefly getting cancelled all over again, we see how Todd rocks out a first date (ladies), Ryan gets real about his flaws, Todd’s mind is blown over the Waterworld connection, Chuck Norris’ karate jeans are reminisced about and we all wish we could have the confidence of Kip. Thank you, Maggie the Intern, for this request. #waitwait #arewerolling #montedoroforever #thelunchroom #blackflagbitches #thedollarstore #pelvicthrusty #nomoreimpressions #tots #realgenius #laslo
