High Five: The Podcast

It's no secret that we love Brendan Fraser on High Five: The Podcast. What may seem like a secret is why we've never done an episode on the marvel of a man...until now! That's right, Mia, J, and Cortney are getting frilly for Fraser, batshit for Brendan, you get the idea. While it is difficult to not just love all his work, the gang actually decides on a Definitive Top 5 Brendan Fraser Movies of All Time list!

Brendan, if you're listening, you'd better stick around until the end because we play a rousing round of Brendaissance where we recast Brendan Fraser in classic Hollywood roles he would have been perfect for! It's a ball from beginning to end, a Brendan Ball, and everyone is invited!

It's time to get quirky and gather the whole family when the gang decides to talk Wes Anderson movies! We're celebrating the upcoming release of The French Dispatch by taking a deep dive into Cortney's favorite director, with Mia and J joining her in a discussion of the Top 5 Wes Anderson movies of all time! At least until we see his next one, that is.

The whole gang is here: J, Cortney, Mia, Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton, Jason Schwartzman, and (for some reason) Edward Norton and Adrien Brody! It's a packed episode and even though it's a podcast, we're changing aspect ratios the entire time just to prove we're Wes Anderson nerds. Get your sweater, unravel your daddy issues and listen!

In a world where most musicians think they can act and ALL actors think they can be in a band (looking at you Thirty Odd Foot of Grunts!), J, Cortney, and Mia decided it was time to decide once and for all who did it the best! On the heels of the VMAs and before the upcoming Grammys, we're finally getting to the best of the double-threats by ranking the Top 5 Musicians-Turned-Actors of All Time!

Once we move beyond Lenny Kravitz (be honest, you thought of him first too), we get into probably the most musical discussion to date and then end with a rousing game of Dream Theater! Find out which current musician we think needs to make the jump into films. This episode may win a Grammy.....or an Oscar...or both!

We're dying to review and talk about The Suicide Squad with you. Trust us, we've been just as excited to see James Gunn's newest demented action story as much as the rest of you, so much so that J, Mia, and Cortney scoured the globe and brought Q back from exile to talk about it with us! Fresh from the beaches of Corto Maltese, Q joins the gang for an in-depth, spoiler-heavy review of The Suicide Squad, ending in the entire crew ranking the Top 5 Best The Suicide Squad Characters!

There are jokes, there are impressions, and there are games. We pull out all the stops and might even play an extreme round of F*ck, Marry, Kill that you will want to tell your grandmother about! So, put on your polka dots, suck an entire beach of dicks for freedom, and join us for the starfishiest episode yet!

FANS: Lrrr kicks off the show! We've got filmmaker Chris Canote (Stigma: Raised in Hollywood) and Maloney's Irish Pub owner Wendy Bettin on to talk about the first time they met Corey Feldman, his rock n' roll attitude and Corey's role in Chris' upcoming documentary on child stars.

FILMS: Is The Goonies (1985) good enough for our panel of reviewers? Listen as we gather all the Data before running our Mouth.

FINDS: Charlie Sheen calls into the show and babbles! Plus Criterion kaiju and Michael vs. Jason.

Have you heard the one about the podcast episode with three hilarious hosts talking about the Top 5 Comedy Specials of All Time? You haven't!? It's like the best joke in the whole world! Spend some time with Mia, J, and Cortney as they talk about the comedians and jokes that spoke to them and which ones deserve the honor of Top 5 Comedy Specials in this one-liner-filled episode of High Five: The Podcast!

Grab your microphone, find a brick wall, and get together your Tight Five to go along with our High Five. We're talking newer specials, classics, and little-known ones. They say laughter is the best medicine and after this episode, we may as well all be doctors. Join in and get healed with comedy!

FANS: Entertainer Matt Geiler (America's Got Talent, Frederick Julius) tells us about he how created the Dancing Pumpkin Man character that went viral & landed him on AGT and discusses the latest project from his throwback pop band Frederick Julius.

FILMS: Two of our panelists have seen Big Trouble in Little China over 200 times. There is much praise for Jack Burton and a lot of hand-wringing over the closing theme song.

FINDS: Fans of Phantasm in the U.S. are getting a sphere, Arrow announces The Prey (1980), The Dead Don't Die (2019) and Jordan Peele talk.

We're kicking off Season 6 with a BANG, and there's no bigger bang in Hollywood than Nicolas Cage! From the heights of Raising Arizona to the lows of 211 to the sheer insanity of buying an Egyptian Tomb for himself, Cortney, Mia, and J talk everything Cage and why they love him so much! You may be surprised which ones we are most nostalgic for and which movies ultimately get excluded from the Top 5 Nic Cage Movies of All Time list!

Don't worry, we all do Nicolas Cage impressions, and J introduces Cortney and Mia to possibly the strangest Nic Cage cameo of all time (hint: it involves a fake nose and maniacal laughter)! The only thing crazier than this episode may be Nic Cage himself, but it's pretty close.

FANS: Corin Nemec (Stargate SG:1, Stephen King's The Stand, Parker Lewis Can't Lose) chats with us about Ted & Bud Bundy, fandom & upcoming projects, including Rottentail, a film adaptation of the graphic novel releasing April 12!

FILMS: Anthony Hebert (and Corin) join us on a quest beyond the stars as we review The Last Starfighter, a sci-fi flick that helped pioneer CGI. All aboard the StarCar! FINDS: The Brigands of Rattlecreek, a Toxic Avenger reboot, and thoughts on the final season of Supernatural.

Every now and again, an episode so special, a move so mystifying, and change so dramatic happens, that you have to sit and breathe a moment. Events of such magnitude happen so rarely that fans, nay, humanity itself barely recovers. This episode is such an event. We have such BIG news, such EXCITING news, such LIFE-CHANGING news to tell you....but you have to listen to find out what.

Also, we take some time to celebrate Q and put him on the spot a little bit. We've said we'll never claim "Favorite Movies Ever", but that's exactly what we're forcing Q to do! Do you want to know why? You'll have to listen to find that out too!
