No, you didn't misread that - this is a (nearly) 4-hour episode. I'd say enjoy, but let's be real - there's not a chance in hell you're listening to this entire episode (even if it is a really entertaining ride). With that in mind, here's what I'm gonna do - I'll give you a brief Act breakdown of when John and I talk about stuff... oh yeah, John's back! Annnd he's live!

Oh yeah, this episode commemorates the 2-year anniversary of Stamper Cinema. We're just getting started y'all!

Hello! We've got an extra special episode in store for you. Not only are we talking about My Cousin Vinny (1992), which is among the absolute best comedies ever made, but the guest who selected it is absolute delight. I am beyond honored to welcome author Lisa Czarina Michaud (Slanted and Disenchanted) to this week's show. You're going to absolutely love her - and her book. Buy it today!... well, after you listen to our discussion first. :)

I'm extremely excited to share this episode with you - The Sandlot (1993). This film really has it all: nostalgia, baseball, friendship, brotherhood, beautiful girls, broken families, and above all else -  s'mores!

We are honored to have Brandon Kriske along with us to talk about why he loves this film as well as share some of his favorite memories growing up. Enjoy!

And please - listen, like, leave a review and share! :)

What is a bottle episode, you ask? Simply put a bottle is a television episode where the show slows down from its normal themes to focus on more intimate stories or self-contained stories. Sometimes they’re made when a show runs out of money and need to produce something on the cheap.

In the case of this podcast, Instead of a guest, you’re getting a heavy dose of me talking about some of my favorite bottle episodes in television history.
