The Avid Indoorsmen

We’ve reached our penultimate episode of the PODWARTS EXPRESS and finally made it to the Deathly Hallows Part 1! It’s been quite the journey and we’ve been enjoying every minute of it!

Our good friends Reilly and McKenzie Zamber of The Hound + The Fox are mega Harry Potter fans and made it onto the Podwarts Express just in time. We love having them on the show and you’re going to love hearing their history with the Harry Potter franchise.

We end this episode with a Starting 5 game and our Patrons get to hear us draft our Top 5 Favorite Quest Movies.

Thanks for sticking with us on this Harry Potter journey and make sure to stick around for the finale episode next week!

The PODWARTS EXPRESS has stopped at Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and we got a couple guests who have already boarded the train at previous stops with Sami Matarante and Neil Ghosh. They are such big Potter enthusiasts that we had to get them back to give us their thoughts on the Half-Blood Prince.

We are chuggin’ along on the Podwarts Express and the next stop is Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets!

We had Amberly Hall on the pod way back on our Drop Dead Gorgeous episode and she explained to us then her love of all things Harry Potter. We knew we had to ask her back when we started this series and she graciously accepted and brought along her man/Rob’s bandmate, Austin Brown.

These two are hilarious and animated and we had so much fun breaking down this film with them. If you’ve thought about becoming a Patron to watch the episodes, this would be a good one to start up. You’ll get to see some pets in the background as well as some costume changes.

This episode ended with an Imitation Game and our Patrons get to hear us draft our Top 5 Favorite 2nd Film In A Series. They’re getting very specific these days and think you’ll enjoy that.

Hope you’re enjoying the deep dive into the Harry Potter world!

ALL ABOARD THE PODWARTS EXPRESS!!! The time has finally come to break down all of the Harry Potter films! Buegs has been counting down the days and is so excited to talk some Harry Potter.

To start off the Podwarts Express we got a Harry Potter expert in Sami Matarante to discuss Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. She was just at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter hours before we recorded and was very ready to give her takes on the first film of the series.

We end this episode with a Starting 5 Game and our Patrons get to hear us draft our Top 5 Child Actors.

We hope you’re ready to jump on the Harry Potter train because we will be discussing these movies for the next couple months. We can’t wait!

Enjoy!

We’ve been waiting for the release of this film for a long time. In fact, we’ve had it on the schedule for over a year and had to keep rescheduling as the release kept getting pushed back. It’s finally here and we were stoked to bring back our good buddy and Marvel Super Nerd, Reilly Zamber, to talk about it.

We had such a good time hearing all of Reilly’s takes and fun theories on where he thinks the MCU will go from here.

We end this episode with a Starting 5 and our Patrons get to hear us draft our Top 5 Favorite Prison Escape Scenes!

We’re back with new movies in the theater and couldn’t be happier. Enjoy!

Lin Manuel Miranda strikes again with his New York based musical, In The Heights. We have been very excited for the release of this film for some time because we knew that Kelsey Lundquist is OBSESSED with it. We always love having her on the show and we had a blast hearing her takes.

We ended this episode with an Imitation Game and our Patrons can hear us draft our Top 5 Movies Where A Main Character Narrates.

You can watch this film on HBO Max, we highly recommend it!

It’s been 15 years since we were blessed to see Emma Thompson narrating Will Ferrell’s life as an IRS agent. One of the very few serious/grounded Will Ferrell roles happens to be a favorite of ours and the 15th anniversary gave us an excuse to talk about it!

One of our favorite recurring guests, Seggie Isho from Straight No Chaser, is also a big fan of Ferrell and this film. We always enjoy hearing what he has to say about movies and we loved having him back for this episode.

We end with a fun Starting 5 Game and our Patrons get to hear us duke it out during our Top 5 Favorite Comedians In Serious Roles Draft!
