Reel It Back

It’s the 35th Anniversary of ‘Top Gun’ and the guys get fired up and Reel It Back! The guys start by discussing Tom Cruise and how he was the perfect actor to play Maverick and how this launched an epic run of movies that vaulted him into the A-List. Joe discusses how the movie did not live up to what he remembers but they all discuss the amazing music that helped carry this movie into a classic. The guys talk Tom Skerritt’s mustache, Anthony Edwards performance and also get into a little singing from Paul. The epic volleyball scene is broken down and they talk about the ill fitted love scene between Maverick and Charlie. It’s a great debate and split between all 3 guys on MVP and they dig deep on who was at fault for Goose’s death. The Recast attempts to avoid anyone casted in the upcoming film ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ but one of the guys could not follow. Make sure you don’t lose that loving feeling and listen to this one!

Where this pod is going, you only need your speaker and that’s so you can listen to Joe Khan’s #2 movie of All-Time, ‘Back to the Future’. The guys jump right into this 1985 smash hit and break down why this movie is so great, translates so well and why Michael J. Fox was the one and only choice to play the iconic Marty McFly. The guys then discuss how the amazing music and theme contributed to the film and get into their top 5 movie villains of all-time(with a twist). The discussion then centers on George McFly and whether his character and portrayal by Crispin Glover fits with all the other characters in the movie. The guys then have their pick of 2 for MVP as it does have the pod divided. They all roll through 1955 with Marty McFly and debate the best decade, how terrible but great Biff is and are shocked at how in love with “Calvin”, Lorraine is. The Recast is hotly debated as the guys reluctantly put characters in a movie no one wants remade. Get in the Delorean and gun it to 88 because this pod can only be heard while traveling to the future!

One of the biggest blockbusters to ever hit theaters has made it to Reel It Back. The guys get together to treat a couple special requests and break down ‘Titanic’ from all angles. The guys start by discussing when they saw ‘Titanic’ for the first time and what stuck with them the most. The guys breakdown the love story between Jack and Rose and get into how great of a villain Cal really is. Favorite scenes and a plethora of character breakdowns get the guys debating the MVP and the character they want to have a beer with. The guys admire how great of a job James Cameron did and why all of the scenes post crash were a masterpiece. The Recast takes ‘Titanic’ 24 years later and gives some up and coming actors a chance to be the next Jack and Rose. If you got air in your lungs and you don’t want to waste another day, make sure you listen to this one and make this day count! Celine Dion would.

Just listen to what we say, you don't have to pay, you won't want to miss it today. We promise it will be better than okay, it's way better than when skies are gray, don't be that stray and listen to this, you must obey. It's time for Happy Gilmore! The guys dig deep into this 1996 smash comedy as they break down Adam Sandler's career and how big of a star he was at this time. The guys then rank their favorite Adam Sandler movies and draw the comparisons good and bad. Joe, Mike and Paul reveal their top 5 quotes in the film and argue Ben Stiller vs Bob Barker. This classic golf comedy then starts the biggest difference in Reel It Back history as each guy has a different MVP and they argue which character they want to have a beer with. Everything turns as all the guys sing Shooter McGavin's praises and discuss how his character is such a likable villain. The Recast you say? Joe, Mike and Paul accomplished that feat no more than an hour ago. Make sure your breakfast has no fecal matter, put on your most goofy pants, look out for Bob Barker's mean left hook and listen to this one!

The guys make their way to the icy cold of North Dak..err Minnesota and Reel It Back! The guys skate right into the movie to discuss what the movie is actually about and how the Coen brothers were able to weave a thriller into a dark comedy. The guys discuss the performance of William H. Macy and how believable of a sleaze ball he is, and compare to Steve Buscemi who fits into his role with perfection. The guys then discuss the incredible performance of Frances McDormand and why she stands above all in a movie of great acting. They go in depth on the character of Marge Gunderson and why she is a great example of a lead woman in a powerful role. The guys get into all of their favorite scenes and quotes while also hitting the absurdities this move is able to bring. The Recast closes it out, as bringing back to life a movie 25 years later gives some great actors a chance to shine. Remember to eat a good breakfast, eggs or pancakes preferably, DO NOT hire any hit men and don’t miss this one!
