That's a Good Point episodes

  • Steven Spielberg Movies

    In the Season 4 finale of That's A Good Point the fellas rank director Steven Spielberg's top movies.  With so many to choose from, the list had to be narrowed down to just seven.  That was quite a task in and of itself, but it was accomplished.  While Dion and Irv tried hard to stick to a system, Jon just went with his gut on what movie he liked watching the most.  It should be a fun listen.  Please enjoy EPISODE # 40 of That's A Good Point!

    In this season's rendition of the multi-list blitz, the rankings of 6 different lists are discussed.  You won't get to hear the normal discussion as the rankings occur.  Instead, Dion, Irv, Jon, and various guests ranked the lists ahead of time and then briefly talked about why they ranked the lists the way they did while making good points.  Thank you to Marnie, John, Kevin, and Kyle who chipped in and offered insight into the lists.  If you would like to skip ahead or only listen to specific lists: College Football Rivalries: 2:11, Pringles Flavors: 7:35, Spin-offs and the Shows That Produced Them: 12:24, Beastie Boys Songs: 20:46, Third Basemen from the 2010s: 26:10, Traditional School Lunches: 35:29.  Please enjoy this offering and offer feedback on Instagram and Twitter @ThatsaGoodPoin1.

  • Best NFL Teams That Did NOT Win the Super Bowl

    This week's episode was recorded a few months ago and saved for a special occasion.  Well, this must be a special time, then!  In this episode, Dion, Irv, and Jon discuss the best teams that couldn't win the Super Bowl.  While quantitative figures and statistics are always important, so is the "eye" test and so most of these teams are ones that the fellas saw play (though not all!).  Please enjoy this episode "from the vault".  As always send those opinions and suggestions via Instagram and on Twitter @ThatsaGoodPoin1.

  • BBQ Joints Near Us

    This week's episode is brought to you "on location" from scenic Denver, Colorado.  The fellas are joined by John and Kevin as they rank their favorite BBQ joints.  The restaurants were local places near Earlham (though you may have to drive a little to get to them) and have been sampled at least once by the hosts.  After the rankings, there is time for a start one-sit one-cut one with Summer Olympic events.

  • Animated Disney Classics

    In this week's installment, Dion, Irv, and Jon rank their favorite animated Disney classics.  The fellas first had to narrow down the category to what a Disney "Classic" really includes.  Then there was some great discussion and (obviously) good points made about which Disney classic animated movies were the favorites of the dudes voting.  At the end of the episode, John Sneller jumps in to provide some insight into Disney movies. Because Dion gets a little long-winded there isn't time for a start one-sit one-cut one.  Please enjoy this installment of That's A Good Point! Follow us on Twitter @ThatsaGoodPoin1.

  • Fictional Baseball Characters

    In this week's episode, Kyle Weber joins Dion, Irv, and Jon to help rank their favorite characters from baseball movies.  Real-life characters were ruled out so biographical movies such as "Pride of the Yankees" and "42" don't have any characters on this list.  The gang discusses their favorite characters from baseball-themed movies.  Kevin Costner will definitely get some air time in this episode.  There is time at the end for a quick start one, sit one, cut one.

  • Athletes from Iowa

    Marnie joins Dion, Irv, and Jon to rank the top athletes from Iowa.  Defining what "from" Iowa was the first hurdle to overcome.  After the group decided that the athlete spent most of their formative years in Iowa, they set off to rank the Iowa athletes based on both amateur and professional careers.  There is some fun discussion and some good (great, even) points made as the group ranks the athletes.  There is even some time to do a quick start one, sit one, cut one that honors last week's list of great guitar songs.

  • Sports Venues To See Before You Die

    On the season 4 opener of That's a Good Point, Dion, Irv, and Jon discuss what sporting venues (in the United States) they would like to go to for an event.  The fellas have been to a few but not all so there is some experience but mostly history, tradition, and sports lore that influence their decision.  What sports venues do you want to go to?  There is some time for a game of start one-sit one-cut one at the end.  Enjoy!
