“Get busy living, or get busy dying.”

The Sad Sacks are back with a brand new episode of the PRPL Podcast—this time tunneling into Frank Darabont’s 1994 prison drama The Shawshank Redemption, adapted from Stephen King’s novella. From the cold stone walls of Shawshank State Penitentiary to the enduring hope that burns within Andy Dufresne, we trace a story of injustice, resilience, and the unbreakable bonds of friendship. Join us as we explore the film’s timeless performances from Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman, its meditation on freedom and faith, and how a tale of confinement became one of cinema’s most liberating journeys. Grab your rock hammer—because sometimes salvation lies in the smallest of tools.

“I can fix that.”

The Sad Sacks are back with a brand new episode of the PRPL Podcast—this time digging deep into Andrew Davis’ 2003 mystery-adventure Holes, adapted from Louis Sachar’s beloved novel. From the blistering heat of Camp Green Lake to the tangled web of curses, onions, and buried secrets, we follow Stanley Yelnats and Zero on a journey that’s equal parts punishment and destiny. Join us as we uncover the film’s blend of humor and heart, the unforgettable performances from Shia LaBeouf, Sigourney Weaver, and Jon Voight, and how generations of family misfortune ultimately give way to friendship, resilience, and redemption. Grab your shovels—because sometimes you have to dig through the past to uncover who you really are.

“Spumoni!”

The Sad Sacks are back, lacing up their sneakers and refusing to sit the bench with a brand new episode of the PRPL Podcast—this time bouncing into Kent Alterman’s 2008 cult comedy Semi-Pro. From the funky flair of Flint, Michigan, to the outrageous antics of Jackie Moon and his ragtag Tropics, we dive into a world where disco meets basketball and dreams are always just one alley-oop away. Join us as we unpack Will Ferrell’s larger-than-life performance, the underdog heart beating beneath the absurdity, and how a team of misfits chasing the NBA spotlight somehow teaches us about loyalty, hope, and believing in the impossible. Strap in, friends—because in the ABA, the rules are made up, the hair is big, and the laughs are bigger.

“Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it.”

The Sad Sacks are back, wading into the currents and refusing to stay on the shore with a brand new episode of the PRPL Podcast—this time drifting into Robert Redford’s 1992 lyrical drama A River Runs Through It. From the quiet beauty of Montana’s landscapes to the delicate threads of family, faith, and forgiveness, we follow the Maclean brothers as they navigate the ties that bind and the waters that separate. Join us as we unpack Brad Pitt’s breakout performance, the film’s meditative reflections on time and loss, and the way its fly-fishing sequences feel like pure poetry on screen. Cast your line, friends—because sometimes the river teaches us more than words ever could.

“Oh captain, my captain!”

The Sad Sacks are back, standing on our desks and refusing to play it safe with a brand new episode of the PRPL Podcast—this time diving into Peter Weir’s 1989 coming-of-age classic Dead Poets Society. From the hallowed halls of Welton Academy to the wild, soul-stirring verses of Whitman, we follow John Keating’s unorthodox crusade to teach his students the power of poetry, passion, and seizing the day. Join us as we unpack Robin Williams’ career-defining performance, the film’s bittersweet coming-of-age truths, and the moments that still make us want to rip the pages right out of our textbooks. Carpe diem, friends—because words and ideas really can change the world.

“He's flying.” 

The Sad Sacks are back, engines roaring and adrenaline pumping with a brand new episode of the PRPL Podcast—this time taking a victory lap through the high-octane spectacle of F1: The Movie. From the gleaming streets of Monaco to the twilight glamour of Abu Dhabi, we follow veteran driver Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt) as he straps in for one last season, mentoring hotshot rookie teammate Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris)—while also locking horns with him in a fierce rivalry. Join us as we unpack the white-knuckle race sequences, the pit lane politics, and the drama that burns hotter than a blown-out brake disc. Speed, strategy, and cinematic horsepower—this one’s a pole position finish.

“You’ve got me? Who’s got you?!”

The Sad Sacks are back, defying gravity and flying high with a brand new episode of the PRPL Podcast—this time soaring into Richard Donner’s 1978 superhero epic Superman. From the crystal spires of Krypton (Marlon Brando voice) to the bustling streets of Metropolis, we follow mild-mannered Clark Kent as he dons the cape, saves the day, and sets the gold standard for comic book cinema. Join us as we unpack Christopher Reeve’s pitch-perfect performance, Gene Hackman’s gloriously campy Lex Luthor, and the John Williams score that could make you believe a man can fly. Truth, justice, and pure movie magic—this one’s super in every sense.

"You know why they call them killer bees, don't you? 'Cause they'll kill you."

Rise 'n shine! The Sad Sacks are up early, barely sober, and back on the case with a new episode of the PRPL Podcast—this time sleuthing through Shane Black’s 2016 cult favorite The Nice Guys. Set in the smoggy sprawl of 1970s Los Angeles, we follow Holland March and Jackson Healy’s misfit bromance as they bumble, brawl, and banter their way through a conspiracy involving porn, pollution, and plenty of punchlines. Join us as we unpack the film’s razor-sharp wit, noir nostalgia, and Gosling’s scene-stealing screams. You’ll never look at a bathroom stall—or a talking bee—the same way again.

Happy 4th of July weekend! We hope you've managed to stay safe and elude the deadly clench of Jaws! Rather unfortunately, Austin's “roast-on-a-post” attempt to catch the deadly animatronic shark named Bruce was unsuccessful, and he found himself at the bottom of the ocean, which is why his audio sounds as such (we’re getting it cleaned up). Thank you for bearing with us and, as always, sending out love from your favorite no-budget podcast.

The Sad Sacks are back and treading dangerous waters as we dive into the 1975 summer blockbuster that changed cinema forever and had everyone second-guessing beach trips—Jaws. Join us on the PRPL Podcast as we unpack Spielberg’s masterful suspense, Brody’s land-loving panic, Quint’s salty madness, Hooper’s nerdy charm, and, of course, the unforgettable terror of Bruce the shark. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water…it’s podcast time.
