On this episode, for our Super Bowl special, I’m joined by my good friend Andy to talk about Friday Night Lights — the 2004 film directed by Peter Berg and based on the true story of the 1988 Permian High School football team in Odessa, Texas. "Friday Night Lights" stars Billy Bob Thornton, Lucas Black, Derek Luke Garrett Hedlund, Jay Hernandez, Tim McGraw, and Connie Britton. Shout to my HS O'Connor Panthers!!!! #movieboarding #texas #texasfootball #permianpanthers #superbowl #football

This episode goes deep — not just into the movie, but into what football means, especially in Texas. We talk about the pressure, the pride, the heartbreak, and the beauty of the game. From small-town dreams to life-defining moments under the stadium lights, Friday Night Lights captures something that hits hard for a lot of us.

We also reflect on how sports — win or lose — have shaped our own lives, friendships, and families.

On this Oscar’s special episode, we went old-school — like really old-school. I sat down in L.A. with Gem and Patrick and the second part over Zoom, to talk about the iconic 1942 classic Casablanca. Over 80 years later, this film still holds up with its razor-sharp dialogue, unforgettable characters, and surprisingly modern emotional twists.

We dive into the legendary performances by Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, the brilliance of director Michael Curtiz, and how a wartime romance became one of the most quoted and beloved films in cinema history. From “Here’s looking at you, kid” to that gut-punch of an ending, Casablanca delivers more than just nostalgia. A true cinema classic from the golden age of Hollywood.

Whether you’re a film buff or finally catching it for the first time, this one’s for you. Play it again, Sam.

I may have tricked my brother-in-law in order to get him to watch this movie. It may seem like I was movie boarding Jon but the real movie boarding was the memories we made along the way. #girlpower

On this episode of Movie Boarding, I’m joined by my good friend Luis to talk about the 1994 underdog classic Little Giants—a film that hits home in more ways than one. What starts as a fun look back at a childhood sports comedy turns into a meaningful conversation about how sports shaped our lives, from playing in the neighborhood as kids to watching games with our families today.

We reflect on how sports became a language of love and connection in our homes—fathers, siblings, cousins, and friends brought together by backyard games, game-day rituals, and those unforgettable moments of teamwork and joy. We also discuss how Little Giants captures something deeper: the value of letting kids be kids, of play without pressure, and the magic that happens when adults take a step back and just let the game unfold. We also mention how badly our respective teams are doing, some for longer than others.

If you grew up with a ball in your hand, a jersey on your back, or a coach in your family, this one’s for you. This movie star Ed O'Neil and the talented, legendary, prince of the Great White North: Rick Moranis.

On this episode record on zoom, I’m joined by my Southwest co-heart Mindie for a deep and hilarious dive into the 2006 cult classic Nacho Libre, starring the one and only Jack Black. Directed by Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite) and co-written with Mike White (School of Rock), this film blends lucha libre, heart, and holy tortillas into something unforgettable.

We watch and talk about how Nacho Libre is more than just a quirky comedy — it’s a cultural staple. For many Mexican-Americans, Nacho Libre hits like Black Panther or Crazy Rich Asians: it's our movie, full of inside jokes, sacred food, magical eagle powers, and big lucha energy. And yes — Jack Black is forever invited to the carne asada. Always.

From stretchy pants to Steven’s glorious hair, we stan the film’s humor, heart, and how it made a whole generation feel seen… through the eyes of a singing friar in spandex. Nachoooooooo!!!!

On this episode, my friend Gem and I take on the 1992 animated cult classic Bebe’s Kids, directed by Bruce W. Smith and based on the stand-up comedy of Robin Harris. On the surface, it’s a wild, chaotic comedy about unruly kids ruining a date at an amusement park—but if you look deeper, there's something much more serious going on.

We dig into the real themes behind the madness: the struggles of kids growing up in poverty, without strong parental guidance, and how society tends to label and dismiss them instead of understanding where they come from. We talk about how the film—through its exaggerated humor and animation—hints at real-life pain, trauma, and systemic neglect.

It’s not just about "we don’t die, we multiply"—it’s about what happens to kids when no one shows up for them.

On this episode, we explore THX 1138, the haunting, cerebral sci-fi debut of George Lucas—a film that began as a student project at USC and evolved into a bold, minimalist vision of the future. Long before Star Wars, Lucas delivered a chilling, art-house dystopia that’s more in line with Orwell and Kubrick than space operas and Jedi.

Originally developed from his student short Electronic Labyrinth: THX 1138 4EB, this 1971 feature was co-produced by Francis Ford Coppola and showcases Lucas’s early fascination with authoritarianism, identity, and technology. The film stars Robert Duvall as THX, a man awakening to consciousness in a sterile, drug-controlled society where emotion and individuality are outlawed. Donald Pleasence gives a memorably eerie performance as SEN, a manipulative fellow citizen, and Maggie McOmie plays LUH, THX’s love interest and the spark of his rebellion.

With its stark white visuals, sparse dialogue, and avant-garde sound design, THX 1138 feels experimental, raw, and wholly uncompromising—a far cry from blockbuster formulas. It’s a true student film at heart: intellectually ambitious, politically charged, and visually daring.

🎧 Join us as we break down the film’s legacy, its influence on sci-fi cinema, and how it revealed the early DNA of one of Hollywood’s most iconic directors.
