This week's bite-site snack episode takes a look at director Robert Altman's neo-noir classic, The Long Goodbye, an adaptation of Raymond Chandler's novel. The movie moves the story from the 1950s to the early 1970s. Hard-boiled private eye Philip Marlowe takes on 70s Los Angeles and a plot involving a friend who may have murdered his wife, a mob boss looking for stolen money, unpleasant cops, a drunken novelist and his enigmatic wife, and a doctor not afraid to humiliate his patient in front of party guests—to name a few. Although not well received when it was originally released, Altman's take on the private eye movie has been hailed in recent years as a classic and a cornerstone film of the neo-noir genre.

As Garrett puts it, this is a somber episode where we say goodbye to two acting greats: Fred Ward and Ray Liotta. Both had a history of playing tough, grizzled guys in film and television and both were geniuses in their work. They made looking tough easy, but they were able to make you care about the characters they played. Fred Ward and Ray Liotta will be missed and we here at TMMSP extend our deepest sympathies to their families and friends. 

After a hiatus brought on by work, school, and a leaky roof, Chris and Garrett are back with the last installment of their series detailing their personal favorite movies from the 80s! In addition, the guys talk about 80s fashion, John Amos, and more. Plus, Garrett's latest thrift store find! And as always, thanks for listening!

Chris and Garrett are back with the second volume of their favorite 80s movies from 1984 to 1986. We've got streetwise cops, breakdancing, invading Russians, brainy college students, boxers, and long-john-clad cops! Plus, the guys take a moment to talk about the recent news of Bruce Willis' aphasia diagnosis and his impact on the 80s. And Chris talks about a short film he wrote that is now on a streaming service for people to watch and recognize that he's better off doing podcasts!

Chris and Garrett each offer up their three favorite movies from 1980 to 1983. You'll have to listen to find out which movies! We can tell you that all three of Chris' favorites take place in 1982—a pivotal year in which Chris' love for film bloomed! Garrett's choices are in some ways Chris' favorites too, but they made it a point not to pick the same films. Fortunately, 1980-1983 are chock full of great movies!
