Well, we’ve run fast through the Frank Drebin cinematic experience before August’s big legasequel, and whilst finding time to talk Thunderbolts* and Final Destination: Bloodlines, we also take a trip to the 1994 Academy Awards, the box office of OJ Summer and Neil Jordan’s filmography. Everything the Police Squad franchise was meant to invoke.
308 - ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS
At some point Andrew heard Johnny say “I never saw Tim Hill’s 2007 live-action/animation hybrid Alvin And The Chipmunks” so this episode exists. Johnny discusses seeing Six and Drop, there’s a deep-dive into the Hollywood Walk Of Fame and someone says “Alviiiin” like there’s a paycheque waving offscreen.
BONUS - STAR WARS EPISODE 1: THE PHANTOM MENACE COMMENTARY
It’s Andrew’s almost-birthday, we’re a day early so May The 4th Be With You and us talking over the classic George Lucas film about tariffs and taxation falling into fascism, he’s so smart!
Games, comedy, trivia, gungans. We talk all about the franchise and tie it in to Andrew’s new book The Ferryman Upon The Plains, a western saga about violence and generations of devastation through small acts. Order your copy now!
