Just Another Review Podcast

Hockey Saves!  Russ and Shaun review the first episode of Beartown on HBO (Europe) and look back at the 1995 film, Sudden Death.  Shaun practices his Swedish accent and Russ throws down the gauntlet.  

Sorry for the extended break between episodes.  We'd like to say it won't happen again but... life, am I right?

Chantal!!! Russ and Shaun review the first episode of the HBO Max series, Search Party, and look back at the 1992 film, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me.   Shaun improvises a song on his ukulele and Russ can't pronounce anyones last name.  

Puff Puff Gas!  Russ and Shaun review the first episode of Your Honor starring Bryan Cranston and look back at the 1991 film, Cape Fear starring Robert De Niro.  

A Priest, Veterinarian and Mayor walk into a bar.  Russ and Shaun review (or recap?!) the first episode of 30 Coins and look back at the 1988 film, the Serpent of the Rainbow.  Russ admits he's still haunted by the film, Midsommar, and Shaun retells a story from their childhood.  

Something is rotten in Westview.  Russ and Shaun review the first episode of WandaVision, starring David Lengel as Phil, and travel back in time to visit the 1998 film, Pleasantville.  The guys can’t seem to agree on anything AND Shaun calls Russ out.  


* Correction note: The House of M comics were written by Brian Michael Bendis.  Joss Whedon introduced Elizabeth Olsen to the comic when they were filming Age of Ultron.  Thanks Ty, the comic book guy. 

Calling All Cattle! Russ and Shaun review the first episode of Yellowstone starring Kevin Costner and look back at the 1991 film, City Slickers.  The guys play 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon and share their Top 10 list of tv series watched in 2020.  

The dudes watch the 2020 film, “Palm Springs”, and look back at the 1993 film, “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape”. Unlike Andy Sambergs character in "Palm Springs", Johnny Depp’s character in "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" is trapped in a small American town doomed to repeat the same day over and over again. 

The third episode groove!  Just in time for the holidays, Russ and Shaun review the Netflix series, Dash & Lily, and look back at the 1993 film, True Romance.  The guys get whisked away in some magical realism but not before Russ hides an anchovy in Shaun’s pizza.

Oops... we did it again!  Russ and Shaun review the Netflix series, The Liberator, and look back at the 1988 film, Young Guns.  The guys have a hard time staying positive about Trioscope Enhanced Hybrid Animation (phew!) and Shaun introduces some new jingles. 

It’s the first episode! Russ and Shaun review the Amazon series, Truth Seekers, and look back at the 1990 film, Ghost.  The guys recap the first episode of Truth Seekers in way too much detail and reminisce about Shaun’s dog, Pepper.
