Ten Things

Jack Black is the kind of performer who seems to only take jobs he likes, and his passion shines through in just about every project - the Kung Fu Panda trilogy is no exception. But does he have the stamina to make it a quadrilogy?... We hope so, because Jeff and Paul have come up with ten things needed to make it great! Tune in to hear their ideas! Also in this episode: Paul's Ian McShane impression, and what kind of animal would Cate Blanchett play in a Kung Fu Panda film?

It's insane to look back at Young Guns and see six kids in their 20s playing cowboy in the wild west, and know that some of them have grown up to be huge, huge Hollywood stars. Emilio Estevez, Charlie Sheen, Kiefer Sutherland, Lou Diamond Phillips, and Dermot Mulroney all got pretty big breaks from starring in 1988's Young Guns. But who would maybe get some of those same big breaks if we cast a re-make of Young Guns today, 32 years later? Tune in to today's episode to find out!

The first Back to the Future is a (super weird) classic film, and the other two are... also movies. Whether to try preserve the dignity and integrity that the original franchise has left, or to stop the further ruining of the the original Back to the Future by all follow-up installments, Jeff and Paul really struggled with whether or not there should even be a Back to the Future: Part IV (or Part III, if you use Paul's system of counting). Nevertheless, if the powers that be DO elect to make another Back to the Future, here are ten things to make it great. Also in this episode: We ruin Marty McFly for you, time machines that are also flying trains are the WORST, and more!

Arguably the most important coming-of-age film for boys of all time, certainly required viewing to receive one's Man Card, Stand By Me is a classic film about four boys who leave their small town in Oregon to see a dead body. But what would it look like cast with contemporary child actors? Listen in to find out! Also in this episode: Should Dacre Montgomery shave his moustache?

The nearly SIX BILLION DOLLAR mega franchise, The Fast & The Furious, had humble beginnings, telling the story of a street kid from East L.A., boosting trucks and racing for cash. Now, 20 years later, the tenth film in the franchise is on its way, and these rag-tag street kids have become bona fide superhuman government agents, trotting around the globe and saving the world from total destruction. But is that the way it should be? Join Jeff and Paul as they break down their hopes for the franchise's next installment: F9 - one as a long-time fan of the franchise, the other catching up after years of disinterest. Also in this episode: How is Dom's back not broken? Are there too many butts? And why are we acting like Brian is dead? All this and more on this week's episode of Ten Things with Jeff and Paul!

Arguably the greatest debut film of all time, Quentin Tarantino's 1992 masterpiece Reservoir Dogs began the reputation that Tarantino would develop over the next three decades for incredibly insightful and specific casting. It feels nearly impossible to imagine these characters played by anyone else, as they leap off the screen not as performances but as whole human beings. Nevertheless, Paul and Jeff are not to be deterred, never ones to shrink from a challenge. So come and listen along as they sort through the best and brightest actors working today for eight men who could be... Reservoir Dogs.

We're getting too old for this! Welcome to Jeff & Paul's discussion of an imaginary Lethal Weapon 5, and Ten Things it'll need to be great! This is one of our favorite episodes so far; we hope it'll be one of yours, too! Paul had never seen ANY of the Lethal Weapon franchise before prepping for this episode, so it was definitely an adventure. Find out his thoughts on where the franchise ranks in the annals of buddy-cop comedy history, particularly the placement of Lethal Weapon 4 (Hint: it's pretty high)! Don't forget to come back this Thursday for a new episode of Fancastic!

The Russo Bros., of Avengers and Captain American fame, have announced that they've been tapped by Disney to helm a live-action remake (ANOTHER ONE?! REALLY?! WHO'S ASKING FOR THESE?!) of Hercules (Oh. Well, that's fine then.)! Hercules is one of Paul's favorite Disney films, but both of our intrepid hosts had a fun time imagining who could take over the iconic roles of Herc, Meg, Phil, Hades, Zeus, and more. Tune in to hear their ideas, and don't forget to vote on your favorite! Also, make sure you come back next week when we'll be fancasting the 1987 sci-fi/slasher classic: Predator!
