Happy St. Patrick's Day, everybody! To the Irish - like Chris! The Non-Irish - like Dave! And the Half-Irish - like Mikey! We wish you all a great day filled with....well with crazy criminals, lots of violence - and more than a few curse words. But not in real life, just on this latest episode of podcast as we discuss the 2006 Martin Scorsese modern classic, The Departed. For the real life stuff - just drink and party like hell! Sláinte!

“I’m going to be honest, this is really going to be a letdown after the last pod”-Dave, sleepy host of this show.
HOT MESS ALERT: Hello fine podcast listeners. Please be aware that this episode may have run into more trouble than Richard Kimble did trying to clear his name. With Chris’ technical issues and Dave’s…we’ll say lack of energy….Mikey did his best to edit around it. So if it sounds choppy and weird, blame Chris and/or Dave. If it sounds great, give all credit to that amazing/handsome editor Mikey.
Full disclosure, that genius also writes these show notes. What a guy. The other two are lucky to know him….

What a life! What a movie! The boys are back to talk about a movie that really could and should be considered the official mascot of this podcast! But they're not alone - joining them this round is past and future guest, Greg Morris, to make this fittingly a foursome as they talk about a truly amazing movie - the 2021 Academy Award winner for best International Film, Another Round.
So sit back, check your blood alcohol level, and enjoy the show...Skol!

Help us, podcast listeners – you’re our only hope. That’s right space cadets, your favorite three podcasters are back to talk about the ORIGINAL, before there were episode titles, before it was given a subtitle – the classic 1977 George Lucas masterpiece, Star Wars. This movie changed a lot of lives, and changed movies and pop culture forever, and finally we’re here talking about it!
Full disclosure, one of our hosts (I won’t say which Dave it is) had to be up at 3am to catch a flight. Keep that in the back of your mind when you set upon the listening adventure of a lifetime….

The Holiday tradition you’ve waited all year for is finally back! The boys are back for one final episode this year as they return to their roots for another episode of “Poddersville” where they talk about the beloved holiday classic, It’s a Wonderful Life.
The it’s NOT just the three of them on this Christmas Eve. No sir, our trio of hosts are joined by TWO guests this time around. Previous guest of the pod, and long time brother of Chris, Greg Morris returns after successfully podcasting with us about The Godfather earlier this year.
And joining us for the first time is longtime friend of Chris and Greg Christine Kuchar – proving that women (or at least a woman) listen to our show! We truly are fun for the whole family (as long as your family swears a lot).
See you in 2023!

The best way to spread Christmas cheer is podcasting a beloved Christmas classic for all to hear. That's right - this holiday season gather the family around the your podcast listening device of choice and listen to Dave, Chris & Mikey talk about the fine, fine Christmas movie - Elf!
Can you believe this movie is almost 20 years old? It just goes to show you that the hands of time are never stopping and each moment brings us all closer to our eventual...wait, what were we talking about? Oh, the cheerful, delightful Will Ferrell classic, Elf....Merry Christmas!!!!

While it is December and everyone is getting into the Holiday Season - we thought we'd throw some dirt on that a bit (and some blood too) and before we get in our holly jolly festive moods we thought we'd take a moment to talk about the gritty (very very gritty) 2015 S. Craig Zahler Western, Bone Tomahawk.
If you haven't seen this movie before and enjoy a good harsh look at the old West, you can watch Bone Tomahawk for free on Pluto and Hoopla.
Remember - this is NOT a Christmas episode and you should NOT watch this movie with your kids - unless your kids like gritty, gory westerns - then go for it mom and dad!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our US listeners out there! To the rest of you, um, happy 4th week of November! It's that time of year where we focus on the ones we love and of course on football - and what better movie brings together such a feeling as 1978's Heaven Can Wait!
Chris and Dave have loved this movie forever, and Mikey just saw it for the first time for the pod. What did he think? Well you'll have to listen to find out. So, turn off the parade. Turn off the game (except for the Patriots game Thursday night). Turn off that video game the kids are playing in the other room - and all get together and listen to this brand new episode!

Spooky Season is here! Okay it has been here for weeks, but we really wanted to be fashionably late with our first scary movie of the month as we talk about the 1982 horror classic, John Carpenter's The Thing! But fear not - it will NOT be our last scary movie of the month....

WE ARE THE SMARTEST MEN ALIVE! And today we are here to welcome everybody back to school (a month late) as we discuss the 1995 Adam Sandler classic (yes, we said it), Billy Madison. So sit back in your pool, pour another daiquiri, and enjoy the show. And no, that penguin is not actually there.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was inventing podcasts. And today we have another great one as Chris, Dave and Mikey talk about the 1995 modern film noir classic, The Usual Suspects - a movie so good that we can separate it from its director and star - but we don't ignore that either. FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!

You must remember this....We'll always have podcasts. And you'll always have Chris, Dave, and Mikey talking, drinking, and making fun of each other. Sometimes with great movies - and sometimes with an all-time classic like we have here in this episode when we talk about one of the greatest movies of all time, Casablanca, from 1942 starring Humphrey Bogart an dIngrid Bergman.

There are few things in this world that move our lovable podcast hosts more than music and movies - and when those two things are combined in such a masterful way, well you can imagine how much Chris, Dave and Mikey all loved and loved talking about Cameron Crowe's 2000 love letter to Rock N' Roll - Almost Famous. So sit back, mellow out, and enjoy the ride...

Imagine showing up at someone's house and just staying there? Sure the 2019 Academy Award winning best picture Parasite is not based on a true story - but during the recording of this episode you will discover a very similar situation as Dave's son shows up in the middle of this episode to watch what turned out to be a truly terrible Celtics game. He's not a parasite, but I'm grasping at straws here.
You will hear him, his father, Mike and Chris talking about this great movie. Well maybe not him that much, but the older guys can't stop talking about it...
Since this is a foreign language film, there are no clips during the episode. In fact, Mike just pasted in the audio and really didn't do much editing at all...We'll see how that goes...

Welcome to the party pal! Yes yes, It's been a while since you last heard from your favorite movie fans, but Chris, Mikey and Dave are back - after a little summer vacation - to talk about the 1988 Bruce Willis cinematic classic, Die Hard. And we answer the question - is Die Hard a movie?
I mean - yes it is. That's why we talked about it.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to tonight's main event! This one was actually recorded 18 days ago and Mike finally got around to editing it for your listening pleasure. During this episode we learn how, for a short time, Chris almost lived out the plot of this movie - and how David can't spell the last name of his friend of over 42 years. Nothing matches friendship like that.

Finally! This one was recorded weeks ago and Mikey finally got off his ass and got the episode finished. He of course is joined as always by Chris and Mike talking about 1976's Rocky - a truly wonderful movie that all three of our hosts grew up loving.
And stay tuned towards the end for a truly jaw dropping moment over a year in the making....
