Vin Scully. Kobe Bryant. And shots fired at Foo Fighter drummer Taylor Hawkins. It's the end of the year and the Brothers Raskin are taking a moment to remember folks who passed in 2022. But before the tears, there are the screams and yells of technical issues. Ben starts the show with a mea culpa and vows to pull it together for the next episode. Between sounds spiking, internets lagging, and microphones dropping, it has still been an incredible year of yammering at each other and the boys will be ready to take their droll wit to new heights in the new year.

Merry Christmas, happy Hannukah, a special Kwanza, and season’s greetings from the Brothers Raskin. Xmas movies run the gauntlet from the classics (Miracle on 34th Street) to the modern (Love Actually) to the scarry (Violent Night) to is-that-really-a-Christmas movie (Die Hard)?!? The Boys are taking their love of holiday movies and ranking the best four Xmas movies of all times. There's mirth, joy, and a little bit magic in that old stovepipe hat Pat has found, too! Plus, enjoy a special Christmas wish from Governor Jessie Ventura at the end of the show. Santa will definitely file you under "naughty" if you don't listen to it.

Coming off the top turnbuckle, the Brothers Raskin are going full George “The Animal” Steele in this week’s podcast. Step aside, Gorilla Monsoon and Jessie “The Body” Ventura, the Boys are talking Golden Globes, the golden age of wrestling, and gold wedding rings worn by Ed Harris. Pat makes a compelling argument why Avatar: The Way of Water is going to sweep the Oscars and the connective tissues found in James Cameron films. And Ben critiques the downside of 3D glasses and goes over the Hollywood Foreign Press’s selections for best movies of the year.

The Brothers Raskin drink deep from the Cormac McCarthy cup, scan the Blood Meridian, and put Jesse Plemons under the microscope. Learn how to pronounce Qatar and the benefits of a fake beard. Patrick paints a picture of the rigors of being an assistant soccer (fútbol) coach, breaks down the Jim Leyland’s fitness regime, and shares how he’s ready to go full Howard Hughes in his later years. And strap on the pulse rifles as Ben pitches his script for Aliens 3—sorry David Fincher, you’re out!

Post-turkey day hijinks are afoot with the Brothers Raskin. Middle age back pain, Ben’s Cesarean section, and surviving the Family Values 1998 tour. Ben yammers about the importance of Johnathan Davis’ bagpipes, the importance of rioting, and hippie jerkoffs. Pat spins a yarn about draft dodging, the Housekeeper Hal 9000, and making a Faye Dunaway sandwich. The boys finish the show recapping the Academy Award winners from the 1960s. SPOILER: the Russians are coming.

Happy Thanksgiving! The Brothers Raskin are eating, drinking, and talking turkey during this special holiday episode. They're hashing over secret families in Rhode Island, non-traditional Thanksgiving dinners, and remembering an old friend who ruined a duck. And just like a priest on payday, they're all over road chatting about Godfather II, Jon Hamm, and the filmography of Chevy Chase. You’ll want to give Fletch (1985) a rewatch to appreciate this podcast. And it wouldn't be a Thanksgiving feast without Al Pacino ordering takeout from his local neighborhood Chili's.

The sound quality of the show is vastly improved and they only lose internet connection twice. But what they lack in recording quality they more than make up in with mirth. Be a mensch and subscribe to the show and leave a review.

2022 Midterm Election Results, Trump goes for it a third time, how to Marie Kondo your pad, and what’s up with Jay Z? The Brothers Raskin eat a small plate of campaign crow discussing John Fetterman, Dr. Oz, and Mike Lee. Rounding out the discussion is a chat about Bullitt versus Dirty Harry and why every well-dressed man should have a dashiki in his closet.

Recorded on 16 November 2022, Pat and Ben do a deep dive on Quinten Tarantino’s new book, the importance of arriving early to a Wu Tang Clan show, and offer a fond remembrance to Shock G. Plus, Bowie and Jagger are dancing in the streets.

Any Given Sunday, Coach Tony D’Amato, Nevada Politics, All Quiet on the Western Front, and how soon would you die if you stormed Omaha Beach.

Recorded on 7 Nov 2022, The Brothers Raskin scan the political horizon and make predictions about the upcoming races. Spoiler Alert: They’re not optimistic about this year but they’ve got some thoughts on how Democrats can still win in 2024—and the Miami Sharks’ penalty program.

In the Mouth of Madness, taking a stroll through Chernolbyl, ranking the best Vegas movies, Toni Collette (again), occasional recording issues, Jeff Goldblum needs better wifi, Justin Long's love life and a long breakdown on Barbarian.

The Brothers Raskin are all over the road like a bishop on payday. They're talking Halloween, trunk-or-treating, getting the stuffing scared out of you, and the Flying Elvi. Most of the technical issues have been smoothed out and this might be their best episode yet. If you're feeling generous, give us a review.

Technical issues? Look no further because this week’s episode is filled to the brim with ‘em. The Brothers Raskin talk of Halloweens of yore, the JFK assassination, San Diego Padres, Utah Jazz, and how to dry clean your clown costume. Is it a good sounding episode? You bet your bottom. Do we have technical issues? Well, thank goodness for a double heaping of patience.
