Cinema Is Life

Jeff is back this week with all the NFL insight you crave. Plus, he's written a novel called The Man In The Garden. Check it out on Amazon. Martino and Neal discuss the latest MMA news and Justin shares his thoughts on Melissa Rauch's The Bronze and the premier of Superman v Batman: Dawn of Justice.

The guys discuss the NFL's concussion acknowledgement, the NCAA tournament, predictions for UFC: Mir v Hunt, and the wildly not kid-friendly trailer for the new animated movie Sausage Party.

A bunch of top-flight NFL talent decided to call it a career this year. The two biggest names of the bunch did so this week in Peyton Manning and Calvin Johnson. The UFC show over the weekend saw two huge upsets. And one of the guys can't wait to see the next film in the Cloverfield universe. Plus hot takes on why so many NFL guys are retiring before turning 30, the Ghostbusters trailer, and the prospect of a Beetlejuice 2.

The UFC's pot-o-PPV-gold, Conor McGregor, is back in action this weekend and the boys have the breakdown of the whole UFC 196 card. It's such a packed episode, we even snuck in another F word: Fastbreaks! In light of Steph Curry's mastery of the long-range shot, we debate whether or not the all-time great players and teams would have had an answer for him. We also dive into the NFL's franchise tag recipients and see how Justin did in predicting the Oscars.

This podcasting thing is harder than it looks. For the second time, some of our audio was corrupted and we are forced to put out a truncated podcast. The opening and entire football segment were lost, but the rest of the episode came through unscathed. We've got recaps of UFC: Cowboy vs Cowboy, Bellator's farce of an MMA event, WWE Fastlane, and previews of the Oscars. Enjoy 3/4 of a fun show!

It's our biggest episode yet! We hit on so much this week we had to bring in reinforcements. Neal, Chris, Jeff and Justin are joined by Martino to talk about Peyton Manning's latest conundrum, Bellator MMA giving us the trilogy fight nobody asked for, the UFC's dueling Cowboys, and a spoiler free review of Deadpool. Plus, Lew Gilly makes his triumphant return to break down WWE Fastlane.

Football season is officially over but the boys still have plenty to talk about. Favorites went down over the weekend and they went down hard. The Panthers came up short to the Broncos and Johny Hendricks was taken out by the educated feet of one Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson. Plus a review of Hail Ceasar!, a preview of Deadpool, and a rundown of some dude-friendly Valentine's Day movies.

We go all in on the big game, from the matchup on the field to the crazy prop bets you can lay money on. Chris and Neal recap the weekend's UFC fight card and discuss the big news across the MMA landscape. Plus film reviews of Jane Got a Gun, The Finest Hours, and The Boy.

Together again for the first time! Neal, Chris, Jeff, Jeremie and Justin pack this week's edition with discussions on football, fights and flicks. Justin trolls some Cam Newton haters at a local sports bar. Is the UFC's new poster boy Sage Northcutt worth the money? Why aren't we more excited about the Superman vs Batman movie? Listen and find out!

Show notes: Von Miller went to Texas A&M. Sage Northcutt is 19, not 18.

Third time's a charm, right? Notsomuch. We put together a killer third episode, that was ultimately lost to the production gremlins. Fortunately, a prerecorded segment and an impromptu recording session with Justin saved the day. We hit on the latest round of NFL playoffs, touch on the weekend's UFC offering and spend some time on the Academy Awards and its diversity issues. And introducing Lew Gilly, our resident wrestling aficionado. We preview the Royal Rumble and ruminate on the days when a finishing move actually ended a match.
