Late Nights at Blockbuster

"It's dangerous thing, going out your door." We celebrate 20 years of The Lord of the Rings with a trilogy breakdown for the next three weeks. Forgive us for going long on this one, but it's The Lord of the Rings! We tidy it up in the next one and the one after that, we promise. Laurie and I really enjoyed Byers consistently quoting or making reference to the extended editions as this was the first time he had watched them.  

The Drax Award (Quotes) is admittedly lengthy so if you want to skip that the reference is from 41:30 to 54:22. 

Byers and Troy get testy about who wins breakout performance at 1:27.

***Sorry ahead of time for some of the sound glitches. The recording didn't really leave room for error in the edit so we decided to roll with some of the clipping because you can get the gist of what we are saying rather than clearing out the thought that was interrupted.

Late Nights at Blockbuster

Happy Gilmore

We discuss the 90's classic Happy Gilmore as it celebrates it's 25 year anniversary. We pay our quarter, get on the horse, and go up and down and around. 

Goofs: Byers was trying to come up with Vince Papale when discussing the movie Invincible with Marky Mark.

NFL Tiers Week 4 Update

2021 MLB Playoff Preview

Corner Booth at Rex's

We hand out some awards for the season from 1:50-22:30 (Don't pay attention to the fact that we said that we wouldn't talk about these much.) We get into the playoff talk after that minute mark. 

Goofs: Troy definitely overlooked Walker Buehler in the Cy Young race. Zack Greinke didn't have a losing record in 2009 when he won the Cy, but the team went 65-97. We can't pronounce Arozerana. Troy was a little too nice to the Marlins as they were just as bad as the Royals. Troy was too dismissive of Carlos Correa, who had a really good offensive year.

Deep Thoughts on Shallow Subjects

We both went to Disney World and Universal this summer so we rank our Top 5 rides. We also discussed our favorite queues and food.

Deep Thoughts on Shallow Subjects

Top 5 Childhood Adventure Movies

Since we went through Goonies last week, we decided to list our Top 5 Childhood Adventure Movies. The ground rules were pretty loose as to what constituted an adventure movie but we held the childhood qualifier to about middle school age. 

Goofs: Troy butchered the first name of the writer-director for My Neighbor Totoro. It is Hayao Miyazaki and not whatever it was he tried to say.

The Goonies

Late Nights at Blockbuster

We discuss the 80's classic The Goonies as it celebrates it's 35 year anniversary. We spend a lot of time on whether Sean Astin has a breakout performance or not and Troy brings up Memphis Belle yet again.
