Captive Audience

This week on the heels of Father's Day, Sean makes Edwin fill a horse head-sized hole in his viewing resume by sitting down to watch The Godfather. Considered to be one of the greatest movies ever made, Francis Ford Coppola's 1972 masterpiece remains as captivating as it was half a century ago, and we had one shotgun blast of a time revisiting this classic alongside a first timer.

So grab some oranges from the produce stand, hide your pistol behind the toilet, and make us some offers we can't refuse while we dive into the Corleone family business.

This week we strap Sean into an unknown alien device and shoot him onto his couch to watch Contact, the 1997 hit based on Carl Sagan's novel of the same name. What would happen if another planet contacted us? How would we act? Which hunky pastor/writer akin to Matthew McConaughey could we turn too for answers?

So turn up your radio telescope headphones, decipher 60,000 pages of data, and pop open a box of Cracker Jacks while we ponder these questions!

This week we head to a castle/high school for some Shakespeare in Seattle a.k.a. the 1999 rom-com classic 10 Things I Hate About You.

So grab your paint-filled water balloons, gas up the Toyota Tercel, and finish up your erotic novels while we dive into this iconic teen flick.

Quick--hide the diamonds in that wheelchair cushion--this week we're watching Rumble in the Bronx! Sean's never seen this Jackie Chan classic, so we take a trip back to the 90s for an action-packed epic that definitely takes place in New York, and not Vancouver, BC.

So put on your crispiest light wash jeans, order an ice cream, and hop on board the hovercraft for this week's movie and pod.

This week we're joined by Peter Frick-Wright (host of the Outside Podcast), who sits down for a first viewing of 1991's Point Break starring Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze. But wait, there's more! Alex, Sean, and Edwin are also watching the 2015 remake of Point Break for the first time - a movie that does definitely NOT star Keanu Reeves or Patrick Swayze.

So grab your surfboard, put on your LBJ mask, and polish off a couple of meatball subs while we break down two versions of a crime/action classic.

Check out Peter and The Outside Podcast wherever you get podcasts.
