E010 - Budget Batman


Listen Later

In this week's episode, the Sweats go around the horn and share some of their all-time favorite characters from the world of movies, video games and TV shows! Chris kicks things off in a big way by fan-girling over one of his all-time favorite movie characters, John Wick. This leads to the guys praising Keanu Reeves' performance as the action hero, specifically his ability to be so relatable while mostly delivering cheesy, but great, one-liners. Ryan responds with a haymaker answer of his own by choosing Captain Jack Sparrow. Ryan describes the movie's introduction to this iconic character and blesses the guys and the listening audience with a "spot on" impression of the rum-loving swashbuckler. Derick tackles the impossible task of following up those two characters by naming Damon Macready, AKA "Big Daddy," from the criminally underrated film Kick Ass played by the one and only Nicolas Cage. The guys reflect on Cage's performance, and come to the conclusion that he basically plays a knock-off Batman and that a solo Big Daddy movie would absolutely slap. From here, The Sweats cross into the realm of video games, with Ryan picking the GOAT, Sergeant Avery JOHNSON, from Halo, Derick picking Tidus from Final Fantasy X and Chris picking the badass Marcus Fenix from Gears of War. Goku's name gets mentioned, which leads to Derick and Ryan taking a couple minutes to completely geek out over, arguably, anime's most iconic protagonist. After engaging in a lightning round to speed things up, The Sweats conclude the episode by debuting a new, unofficially named, segment where they go around and name something they're looking forward to doing after work this week. Ryan expresses excitement about his new Pickleball league, Chris talks about revisiting old Call of Duty games now that the servers have been restored and Derick says he's looking forward to watching Daniel Ricciardo race for Red Bull's sister F1 team.
