In the 1980s, there were only 63 Black films by, for, or about Black Americans. But in the 1990s, that number quadrupled, with 220 Black films making their way to cinema screens nationwide. What sparked this “Black New Wave?” Who blazed this path for contemporaries like Ava DuVernay, Kasi Lemmons and Jordan Peele? And how did these films transform American culture as a whole?

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedSend us a text There's something uniquely satisfying about watching a ragtag group of misfits come together and triumph against impossible odds. In our latest episode, we dive into the 2000 sports comedy "The Replacements," where Keanu Reeves plays Shane Falco, a washed-up quarterback scrubbing barnacles off boats who gets an unexpected second chance at football glory. Behind every great underdog story is an eccentric cast of characters, and this film delivers in spades. From Jon Favreau's unhinged SWAT officer with anger management issues to Orlando Jones' lightning-fast receiver with "hands of stone," these replacement players represent the beautiful chaos that ensues when professional athletes go on strike. We break down how Gene Hackman's veteran coach Jimmy McGinty somehow transforms this bizarre collection of has-beens and never-weres into a functioning football team—with a little help from replacement cheerleaders recruited from the local strip club. The movie may not have broken box office records upon release, but it's packed with memorable moments that have given it staying power. We dissect the infamous jail cell scene where the entire team bonds through an impromptu performance of "I Will Survive," the Welsh kicker who smokes on the field while trash-talking opponents, and the sumo wrestler who carries multiple defenders into the end zone. Plus, we connect the film to its loose inspiration: the 1987 NFL strike where real-life replacement players for the Washington Redskins won all their games yet weren't awarded Super Bowl rings until decades later. Our episode culminates in an intense trivia showdown testing our hosts' knowledge of the film, with the loser sentenced to watch the critically-panned Borderlands movie as punishment. Listen to find out who proves they have the most heart—because as Coach McGinty would say, that's what separates winners from losers.

Fresh from their annual Free Comic Book Day live show, the hosts dive into this unlikely box office sensation that has already grossed $845 million worldwide despite mixed critical reception. The conversation explores the film's plot about characters discovering a portal to the Minecraft universe, the creative liberties taken with game mechanics, and the meme-worthy moments that have children losing their minds in theaters (particularly Jack Black's "Lava Chicken" song). While the hosts acknowledge the movie isn't aimed at their demographic, they offer thoughtful insights about why it resonates so powerfully with its intended audience. The episode takes an even more entertaining turn when the hosts attempt a 50-question Minecraft trivia challenge that quickly exposes their gaming knowledge gaps. Their increasingly desperate guesses and creative workarounds will have you laughing along as they tackle questions ranging from basic game mechanics to obscure Minecraft facts. The segment perfectly captures the generational divide between casual adult observers and the children who live and breathe this digital world.

1 The OG Map Makes Warzone Fun Again After Years of Missteps 42:33

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedSend us a text The prodigal map returns! After three long years of increasingly frustrating updates that drove away casual players, Call of Duty Warzone has finally listened to its community by bringing back Verdansk – and it might just be the game's saving grace. Stepping back into the familiar terrain feels like rediscovering an old favorite book. The buildings, sightlines, and strategic positioning that made the original Warzone so captivating are all here, but with thoughtful improvements that address previous shortcomings. The addition of natural cover throughout previously exposed areas, swimmable water bodies, and a refined loot system create a more balanced experience without sacrificing what made Verdansk special in the first place. For casual players who might only get a few hours of gameplay each week, this update represents a significant win. The return of map knowledge as a competitive advantage means that even if you can't dedicate eight hours daily to mastering movement mechanics, you can still leverage your familiarity with the environment to outsmart opponents. The one-shot headshot capability of sniper rifles has returned, vehicles can once again be countered effectively with explosives, and the original Gulag provides a balanced 1v1 environment that feels fair for both competitors. Perhaps most importantly, this update strikes the right balance between nostalgia and innovation. Rather than simply repackaging old content, Activision has carefully integrated modern improvements while maintaining the core experience that made Warzone a phenomenon in the first place. The floating loot visualization, progressive ground loot quality throughout match phases, and subtle terrain adjustments all enhance gameplay without fundamentally changing what worked. If you've been away from Warzone due to frustration with previous updates, now might be the perfect time to drop back in. The learning curve is significantly reduced for returning players, and the more balanced gameplay creates opportunities for both tactical play and high-octane action. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or a curious newcomer, Verdansk's return offers the most accessible and enjoyable Warzone experience in years.

What makes this original adaptation so special? Why do all subsequent reboots pale in comparison? From Jim Henson's revolutionary puppetry work to the perfect blend of humor and heart, we break down the film scene by scene, highlighting memorable moments like Raphael's anger issues, Casey Jones' vigilante introduction, and the emotional connection between Splinter and his turtle sons. Did you know each actor who wore a turtle suit also appeared in human cameos throughout the movie? Or that Corey Feldman voiced Donatello for a mere $7,000 because he didn't think the film would succeed? The conversation naturally flows into our recent entertainment experiences, from the immersive world of Oblivion Remastered to Disney+'s surprisingly gritty Daredevil series. We debate the merits of practical effects versus CGI, reminisce about classic gaming mechanics, and share recommendations for games like Space Marines 2 and the upcoming Ready or Not. Whether you're a longtime TMNT fan or simply appreciate groundbreaking filmmaking, this nostalgic deep dive captures why some cultural touchstones continue to resonate decades later. The practical effects, authentic performances, and earnest storytelling of the original Turtles film created something special that modern technology simply can't replicate—proving sometimes, the original recipe remains the best.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedSend us a text A sweltering Florida chain gang. Mirrored sunglasses reflecting only your own desperate face. Fifty hard-boiled eggs and one man determined to defy expectations. "What we've got here is failure to communicate" isn't just the most famous line from Cool Hand Luke – it's the perfect distillation of this landmark film's exploration of rebellion against authority. Our deep dive into this 1967 masterpiece reveals why Paul Newman's portrayal of Luke Jackson remains one of cinema's most enduring symbols of resistance. Sentenced to two years for the minor offense of decapitating parking meters, Luke transforms from troublemaker to legend through his refusal to bow to the system. From the brutal boxing match where he won't stay down to his daring escapes that inspire his fellow inmates, Luke's journey resonates with anyone who's ever felt crushed by institutional power. The religious symbolism throughout the film surprised us – Luke as a Christ-like figure sacrificing himself for others, the crucifixion pose after eating fifty eggs, his final confrontation in a church. We explore how director Stuart Rosenberg created authentic performances by keeping actors in prison-like conditions during filming, even having them pave actual roads under the Florida sun. Paul Newman's determination to personally learn "Plastic Jesus" on the banjo resulted in one of the film's most moving scenes. Whether you're revisiting this classic or discovering it for the first time, Cool Hand Luke's examination of freedom, identity, and resistance against conformity remains as powerful today as when it first shocked audiences. Sometimes nothing can be a real cool hand – and sometimes a film from 1967 can still shake your world.

1 The Man Behind the Voices You Know: James Urbaniak 1:14:27

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedSend us a text From accidentally stealing the spotlight on David Letterman's show as a teenager to voicing beloved animated characters for two decades, James Urbaniak's acting journey reads like a masterclass in versatility and perseverance. In this wide-ranging conversation, Urbaniak reveals the unexpected path that took him from New Jersey community theater to New York's experimental off-off-Broadway scene in the late 1980s. With remarkable candor, he shares how challenging theatrical experiences—like performing a 75-minute solo monologue in "Tom Paine"—helped develop his craft before independent filmmaker Hal Hartley introduced him to the different demands of screen acting. Fans of Adult Swim's cult classic "The Venture Bros." will delight in Urbaniak's behind-the-scenes stories from his 20-year tenure voicing Dr. Rusty Venture and other characters. He recounts the surreal experience of having a makeup artist on the set of an HBO film tell him she was more excited to meet the voice of Dr. Venture than Al Pacino himself—a testament to the profound connection voice actors can forge with audiences. Urbaniak's philosophy of acting—describing himself as "a skeptic who likes to be surprised"—offers valuable insight into navigating the entertainment industry's inherent uncertainty. Whether discussing his brief but memorable appearance in Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer," his experience playing Robert Crumb in "American Splendor," or his current work on Apple TV+'s "Palm Royale," Urbaniak demonstrates why character actors are often the secret ingredient that elevates productions across all media. For aspiring actors, film buffs, animation fans, or anyone fascinated by the creative process, this conversation provides a rare glimpse into the life of a working actor who has successfully built a diverse career by embracing opportunities across multiple entertainment platforms.

Send us a text Do our wives really know us? In this friendship-testing experiment, we discover which fictional characters from famous movie and TV trios our spouses think we resemble—and the results are both hilarious and revealing. From the moment our wives labeled us all as "Chandler" from Friends (despite being married to three different men), we realized this would expose more than just pop culture preferences. The Ghostbusters comparison achieved rare unanimous agreement, with everyone seeing Hayden as the sarcastic Peter Venkman, Tom as the technical genius Egon, and Mitch as the childlike enthusiast Ray. Meanwhile, Lord of the Rings sparked heated debate, with each wife suspiciously casting her husband as the heroic Aragorn while assigning the Gimli role elsewhere. What makes this episode particularly fascinating is seeing how differently we view ourselves compared to how our closest companions perceive us. When our wives assigned characters from The Office, Star Wars, and even the Three Stooges, their choices revealed personality traits we either embrace or deny. The Batman and Walter White comparisons proved especially contentious, exposing our secret desire to be seen as the hero—or at least the most compelling character. Beyond character comparisons, we dive into passionate discussions about Yellowstone (it's basically a Montana soap opera), Severance's divisive second season, and various anime recommendations. The episode concludes with an epic TV and video game theme song competition. Join us for this deep dive into personality, perception, and the unspoken dynamics of friendship and marriage.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedSend us a text The power of a perfectly delivered line can transcend the film itself, becoming part of our shared cultural language. In this deep-dive episode, we explore cinema's most memorable quotes and why they continue to give us goosebumps decades later. From Quint's chilling warning aboard the Orca to HAL 9000's haunting final song, we dissect the context, delivery, and lasting impact of film's greatest utterances. Spielberg's masterful editing of "You're going to need a bigger boat" in Jaws demonstrates how timing transforms a simple line into cinematic history. We uncover surprising production secrets, like how the Empire Strikes Back's famous paternity reveal was kept secret even from most cast members until premiere night. The philosophical weight of Roy Batty's "tears in rain" monologue from Blade Runner leads us into a fascinating discussion about consciousness, memory, and what truly defines humanity. Beyond the quotes themselves, we explore why certain lines resonate across generations. Is it their philosophical depth? Their perfect encapsulation of a character? Or perhaps their ability to distill complex emotions into just a few words? Whether it's Rocky Balboa's wisdom about perseverance or Michael Caine's perfectly delivered "You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!" these lines have become shorthand for entire philosophies and attitudes. What's your favorite movie quote? Share it with us and tell us why it resonates with you.
