Mt. Rushmore Podcast

Klutzes are staples of entertainment, because they are so relateable. After all, pobody's nerfect! We all have felt like a stumblebum at some point in our lives, so we feel the pain of the klutz, whether it's on the screen or in real life. This week we're looking at all forms of klutzes and isolating some of our favorite. Let's hope we don't fumble the bag with our picks!

So now, the end is near...of the movie, that is. And it's time to go out with a bang - sometimes literally - and wrap up the whole theme of the movie in one neat bow. What better way to do that than with the perfect song. This week we're discussing the ultimate meetings of music and visuals that leave indelible marks on people who watch their favorite films.

Sometimes, a song you love can because an automatic fast-forward when it comes on. It's not because the song is suddenly bad. Maybe the song is overplayed, or maybe the lyrics haven't held up. No matter what the case, it's a song that you don't need to hear for a long time. We're discussing songs that we feel that way about this week, and yes, we're taking down some sacred cows along the way.

Robert De Niro - a titan of the film world and certainly one of the most talented actors ever to grace the big screen. He is totally dedicated to his craft, even if that means engaging in all manner of method acting nonsense. Still, no one can question the intensity of a De Niro performance.

Ahead of the release of "KIllers of the Flower Moon," we're honoring Robert De Niro (or "Bobby" to his friends and people who want you to think they are Hollywood insiders) by buiding a whole episode around him. We're looking at everything from his greatest roles to musical tributes (sort of) to him.

No matter how many ridiculous nicknames Hollywood creates for its Mafia movie characters, they still can't hold a candle to the ones sported by real-life Mob members. This week we're joined by Frank Hayde, author of several books including "The Mafia and the Machine" to discuss the funniest and most adorable names possible for truly horrendous people.

Pixar has done more than make some of the most beloved animated films of the last three decades. The "Pixar Magic" also extends to short films, where talented creators often have the chance to explore and experiment with fewer restrictions or expectations. This episode is dedicated to Pixar shorts, whether they were shown before a feature-length film or on television.

Remember magazines? They were sort of like books, but with less pages and more pictures, and you could get them delivered to your home every week or maybe every month. And when you were younger, there was probably a time when getting a magazine subscription delivered to your door was a big deal.

This week we're talking about different magazine subscriptions we've had over the years - from classic magazines to ones that went out of business years ago.

Few musical artists have been as pop culture savvy as the Beastie Boys. Their lyrics include a litany of references to obscure musicians, athletes, TV shows and films. It can feel like you need Wikipedia up to "get" all of the references, but somehow it always works.

This week we're exploring the encyclopedic world of Beastie Boys pop culture references. And we've got a certified Beastie Boys expert in the house with good friend of the show Alex Gradet, who has more hits than Rod Carew.

This week we want to know: who is the Hostess with the Mostest? Snack cakes, that is! We're talking about everyone's favorite brand of sweet junk food induglence and break down which product would come out on top in any middle school lunch swap.
