The Phileo Podcast

Deep Thoughts on Shallow Subjects 

Our newest Deep Thoughts on Shallow Subjects is a Top 5 Ben Affleck roles. We also decided to throw in some discussion of Damon and Affleck’s career arcs and did a quick draft of their movies to determine who really has the deepest filmography. Be prepared to realize that The Phileo Podcast is the leading Daredevil apologist podcast. 

Goofs: The Jars of Clay album that Troy was thinking of was I Left the Zoo. Troy also doesn’t seem to know what Stockholm Syndrome means. A total of nine actors have played Batman while five actors have played Jack Ryan.

Late Nights at Blockbuster

We celebrate the 25th anniversary of Good Will Hunting, a movie that is on both of our Top 5 all-time movies.  Naturally, we started quoting the movie to each other too early in favorite scenes instead of waiting for the Drax award. We go Kevin Costner in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves where the Boston accent goes in and out. Troy tries to hang on a little longer than Byers. We also discuss if this is Robin Williams best performance. 

Goofs: Byers makes us even older than we are by saying we were Will and Chuckie’s age when we first saw this movie but we were closer to 17 than 20 and 22. For the record. Troy was wrong Jimmy Flynn had two other acting credits in The Cider House Rules and What’s the Worst That Could Happen? The man from India that Sean and Lambeau discuss is Srinivasa Ramanujan.

Another 4 weeks are in the books so it's time to update our rankings.

One of us would like to apologize to the Bengals fans for the huge jinx we put on you by recording a night early and assuming the outcome of MNF.

Top 10 Sports Movies

It’s finally time to do the list we have been talking about since the beginning – it’s our top Sports Movies. And it is such a great list that we had to expand it to a Top 10, instead of the usual 5. So join us as we talk about what truly are some of our absolute favorites.

Goofs: We can’t count. We had 4 movies in common in our top 10 – Remember the Titans, Rudy, Sandlot and Field of Dreams.

Late Nights at Blockbuster

Join us as we celebrate the 30th anniversary of The Mighty Ducks. We talk briefly about our roller hockey days and Troy tells a story in honor of the purse scene. Byers did the hypothetical math that you all wondered about regarding Gordon’s 198 goal season. We almost devolved into an impromptu D2 podcast but recognized what was happening and stopped before we got too far.

Goofs: Troy was a little hyped up during recognize my face and didn’t hear Byers say avox 30 seconds before he asked to be reminded of the term avox. He then follows it up later when Byers tells him that Julie “The Cat” Stevens’ name is Cat and then we look it up and Troy doesn’t acknowledge that Byers was right…again.

Morgan Freeman Top 5

After spending so much time with him in Shawshank, we just wanted more.

Goofs:  We mentioned his catalogue was quite extensive, but we failed to mention just how extensive – since the two of us were born – 1981, there have only been 3 years without a Morgan Freeman movie, and several years with one more than one.

Late Nights at Blockbuster

Our newest Late Nights at Blockbuster is a favorite of Troy’s and a first time watch for Byers. We go through our regular awards and dive a little deeper into Frank Darabont, Roger Deakins, and Stephen King. Spiritual metaphors/illustrations is mined pretty well but we could have gone a little while longer.
