A.I. EP. 292: “I’m Still Here, Chief” - Frequency 25th Anniversary

The second film of Ben Affleck's directing career, The Town, is 15 years old. We loved this movie and brought along a recurring guest, Luke Pierce, who also happens to love this movie. We had a great time breaking this film down with Luke and maybe trying out some not so great Boston accents in the process. Enjoy!

It’s time for another movie game night and we thought we’d bring in some folks we’ve never had on the pod before, some UMD Alumns who were part of the theater department. Rob was in productions of Sweeney Todd and Guys & Dolls with them and partook in many many fun nights playing poker and making good decisions as college kids. We’ve had Dave Hauer on the pod before but never for a movie game night, and making their Avid Indoorsmen debuts are Matt Salmela and Dan Bigwood. We had a lot of fun. Enjoy!

Road Trip turns 25 this year and we talked about this film quite a bit during our Eurotrip episode with Neil Ghosh, so we knew we had to have him come back and break this film down with us. It was a great decision, we had the best time. Enjoy!

This was a movie Rob was super into when he was younger and was very excited that this was the excuse to get Buegs to watch it. Another person Rob made watch it when they were kids was his best buddy, Timmy St.Sauver. Timmy makes his return to the pod and fun was had by all. Enjoy!

We thought it was finally time to do a light-hearted film and then we scratched that idea and broke down the extremely dark, comedic, slasher horror film, American Psycho. Turns out our good buddy, Chris Chatham, has a pretty dark sense of humor and was all onboard to discuss this film. We had a great time and he still managed to keep a running joke going since his very first episode with us. Enjoy!

We’ve finally reached our great white buffalo, Hot Tub Time Machine, which is celebrating its 15th anniversary. We brought back our buddy Brandon Miller who we’ve quoted this movie with a bunch over the years. It was fun having him back on and breaking down this comedy. Enjoy!

The Sean Baker written and directed film, Anora, won Best Picture as well as several other Academy Awards. We both liked Anora and thought it would be fun to record an episode on it with our good friend and recurring guest, Sami Matarante. She had some fun insights and we all had a lovely discussion. Enjoy!

How To Train Your Dragon just turned 15 years old and the new live-action version is coming out this year, so we thought we'd record an episode on it. We brought back our good buddy and dragon enthusiast, Adam Rupp! We had a great time and hope you enjoy!

We're back with the latest Marvel Movie and had to bring back our Marvel-ous guest Reilly Zamber to give us his thoughts. He graciously took time out of his super busy schedule as his baby girl was less than a week old when we recorded this. Big thanks to him and his wife for letting him come and chat with us. Enjoy!

The Rodgers and Hammerstein movie musical is celebrating its 60th Anniversary. This has been a very big movie in Rob’s family so we brought back his Dad, Fred Lundquist, to talk about the countless times he’s seen it. We had a great time and hope you enjoy!
