Is It for Reel

It's spooky season so our podders got out their tape recorders and watched Interview with The Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles.  So bust out your best lacy shirt, mix up a rat smoothie, and put on a theater performance to save the vampire rec center.  Oh and don't forget to let your hair grow into luscious locks.  It's the vampire way!!

Now that we are all getting our super booster shots, it is time to par-tay.  Of course, our podders have forgotten how so they watched Bachelor Party.  Let's join multiple Oscar winner and all around great guy, Tom Hanks, as he teaches us how attempted murder, drugs, prostitutes, donkeys, offensive racial stereotypes, etcetera are all important ingredients to the perfect party.  Upon reflection, maybe Tom was trying to teach us what not to do.  Regardless, you can never go wrong with a live band.  Alligator!!!!!!

Wow, in case you didn't notice, the Is It for REEL juggernaut has watched 100 movies (Our lazy editor barely noticed.  Hence this is late!).  To commemorate, our wonderful art director put together a trivia contest to see if our brave Podders and our brave Listeners were paying attention or just phoning it in.  So grab your phones, strap on your memory hat, and get a lint brushes because we've got some smoking jackets for you.  Happy 100!!!

Our podders have been doing a lot of home projects but haven't gotten any better at Karate.  Naturally, they watched The Karate Kid to see what they were doing wrong.  So break out your vintage car collection, hide from the karate gangs (they're everywhere), and get a little Shue in your life.  Also, listen and learn the difference between Banzai and Bonsai.  The more you know!!!!!

Did you know that a lot of our day to day activities are handled through the internet.  Far out, man!  Well our podders knew that and watched Sneakers to help educate the masses.  So grab your balloons, get a super secret listening van, and go ahead and get more balloons (this is a super sneaky internet heist after all).   Actually never mind, this is just a movie about a toy company.  Our bad.   

The leaves are beginning to fall, everyone is breaking out their James Joyce books, and the cheerleaders are getting ready for the diving matches.  That's right we watched Back to School.  So crack open a miller light, throw out your school's honor code, and be wary of those sexy coeds and professors.  They have a darkness behind their eyes that could mean true love, but probably means murder.  Oingo Boingo!!!!

Huzzah, we did it y'all!!! 100 movies.  All of them amazing in their own special way.  To celebrate we watched a little ditty about Jack and Rose, two American kids then one of them froze.  That's right we watched that boat sinking movie.  So break out your pirate earrings, pick out your sex car, and draw me like one of your french girls.  Also, be sure to register to vote for the king of the world.  Jack/Fabrizio 1909.  They've got a real chance!!!

Summer vacay is over.  So get out of the damn water, already.  Your hands are all pruny, that kid over there is making a funny face and is probably peeing, and also…SHARKS!!!!!!    That’s right, we watched Jaws.  So put on your fanciest anchor themed suit, fashion some glasses out of a coat hanger, and get out of the water already. Or don’t. Sharks are the polar bears of the sea and you know how cute polar bears are!  Farewell and adieu to you fair Spanish ladies….

It's the middle of summer, apple pie is on the window sill, and it's so hot the world is on fire.  It's baseball time!!! So we fired up our VHS and watched A League of Their Own.  So join our athletic podders and find out if Dottie is in league with Shoeless Joe Jackson and Pete Rose; are the last place O's the hottest team in baseball; was this in fact my old playground and why is it no longer?  Shirley Baker!!!!!!

First rule of wishing is to keep it short and succinct.  So we told our Zoltar machine 'HANKS' and it fired up the 1988 Tom Hanks classic "Big".  (Sorry Chet Haze.  We'll get around to listening to your music one day.) So grab your Silly String, your mini corn, and your child like whimsy that will make toy companies and sexy business ladies cheer!!!  Shimmy Shimmy cocoa pop!!!!
