Walken 101

Brandon and Kenny discuss, at length, the infamous "Cowbell" sketch which acted as a turning point in Christopher Walken's career. It marks the beginning of an era in which Walken became a slightly-unwilling parody of himself. Brandon reads an interview with Will Ferrell describing where the sketch came from, as well as various interviews in which Walken, seemingly in a state of world-weary frustration, gives his reaction to the "Cowbell" phenomenon.

After Brandon's return from a week long vacation in Disneyworld, he and Kenny endure the third installment in "The Prophecy" franchise in which Christopher Walken returns as Gabriel, the angel of death. With not much to discuss, Brandon dives deep into some obsessive "Prophecy" fan-fiction written about Walken's character, as well as Walken's religious beliefs.

A first for the podcast, Kenny and Brandon become so exhausted watching Walken's performance in the crime comedy 'Kiss Toledo Goodbye' that they start recording the podcast twenty minutes into the movie, letting it drone on in the background.

After struggling to read the patrons names thanks to an unannounced update to Patreon, Brandon and Kenny discuss their refreshing experience watching Christopher Walken bring back one of his more subdued, normal characters in the final installment of the Hallmark series of movies "Sarah, Plain and Tall." Other topics include Jack Palance's oldness and full-frontal male nudity.

After Kenny complains about being stung by a wasp, he and Brandon discuss Christopher Walken's role as the Hessian Horseman in 'Sleepy Hollow,' a role in which he had no dialogue besides "AAH!" and "Shh." After getting sidetracked talking about Johnny Depp's turbulent personal life, they are dumbfounded to hear from Walken's own admission that 'Sleepy Hollow' was the first film in which he had an on-screen kiss, a fact quickly refuted by Brandon and Kenny as they cite his romantic lead role in the series of Hallmark movies "Sarah, Plain and Tall."

Brandon and Kenny finally solve racism as they discuss Walken's performance as a New Orleans businessman in the late-19th century who, in real life, was at least partly culpable for the worst lynching in American history.

After a "Walken in Our Shoes" segment update regarding Kenny's continuing work filming documentary footage of independent wrestlers as well as some experimental content that both Kenny and Brandon are filming for Brandon's old YouTube channel, they talk about Walken's performance as a fun, regular guy in the 1999 comedy 'Blast from the Past.'

After Brandon reveals specific jingles he made for each patron on Patreon, Brandon and Kenny discuss Christopher Walken's performance in the Dreamworks animated film 'Antz.' They talk about putting together some kind of Christopher Walken performance spectrum: on one side would be a role like he had in 'Wild Side' in which he's completely let loose to do whatever he wants, and on the other side of the spectrum would be something like 'Antz' where he seemingly had very little wiggle room to explore. Afterwards, they compare 'Antz' to 'A Bug's Life' and get on a tangent about how good Pixar is.

After shoutouts to the Ronnies, and Kenny griping about how he got locked out of his house and ran out of air-conditioning in his car, Brandon and Kenny discuss the bizarre mess of a movie "The Eternal," and Christopher Walken's performance as an eccentric Irishman who wakes up a mummy. Afterwards, they talk about the next film on the list, 'Antz,' and Brandon goes into too much detail about how his watching of the film seemed to line up with the beginning stages of puberty.

After a surprise Google search, Brandon and Kenny finally found a copy of "The Boy Who Saw Through," a 1956 short film starring a preteen Christopher Walken as a British boy in an upper-class family at the turn of the century who can see through walls, much to the consternation of his parents. They discuss their strange experience watching it, as well as giving some context as to where it came from.
