Our good pal Lance stops by for a marathon episode! We break down Juan Soto being traded to the New York Yankees and what it means for the Bronx, the Padres, Major League Baseball, Brian Cashman, and us. Then, we review Ridley Scott's new film Napoleon starring Joaquin Phoenix and Vanessa Kirby. Nolan compares Ridley to a retired NBA small forward. Which is it? Tune in to find out. 0:00: Intro/Res...

We skipped a week but WE'RE BACK. Are we really doin' this whole Tommy DeVito thing? Will YamaSoto happen in the Bronx? Should Robert Saleh be fired? What is wrong with the Panthers!?

In the wake of September 11th, one man took it upon himself to get arrested by the DEA and sentenced to 7 years in prison. That man was Montgomery “Monty” Brogan. Quick reactions to the Aaron Nola contract, Brandon Woodruff's release, and Atlanta's minor tweaks. Nolan has an idea for where Shohei Ohtani should sign. We watched Spike Lee's post-9/11 masterpiece, 25th Hour, starring Ed Norton, Phili...

Everyone's bad, oh boy. Lets talk about it. Yankees: 3:31 Mets: 24:45 Knicks: 29:40 30 Seconds on the Brooklyn Nets: 37:49 Jets/Giants: 41:55 Morg’s free pick of the week: 49:21 Morg’s shoutout to Trill Withers Show: 51:14

The boys issue a heartfelt apology to a beloved actor and Nolan reads from Louis Menand's "The Free World: Art and Thought in the Cold War," leading to an excellent discussion about art & money, kitsch, avant-garde, the dead 'indie-to-Marvel' pipeline, Martin Scorsese, dead-eyed TikToks, poetic justice, D*vid Z*slav, sustainability, and capitalist doom.

Busy ep! Lots to talk about in the world of New York sports this week with the Jets falling to the Chargers in primetime, the Daniel Jones era (and the season) coming to an end for the Giants, the Yankees hiring a new hitting coach and end-of-year press conference (finally), the Mets hiring Carlos Mendoza as their new Manager, and the Knicks take down the (aging) star studded LA Clippers! Discussi...

The World Series is over and we're preparing for a full winter spent at the movies. With The Holdovers now in theaters, the boys are joined by Eddie Averill (Extended Clip, The Art & Sports Podcast) to talk about Alexander Payne's 1999 classic Election starring Reese Witherspoon and Matthew Broderick. We also discuss David Fincher's The Killer , Twin Peaks: The Return , the Dodgers playoff woe...

Congrats to the Texas Rangers on winning the World Series! They defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks in 5 games on the backs of their offense, rotation, bullpen, manager, and a few special rookies. We break down how and why this happened and what it means for the future. patreon.com/mudville

It's the World Series! We look at the Diamondbacks and Rangers: their stars, their rookies, their damaged aces, their past, present, and future. But first, we have a message for the unserious bladder brigade whining about yet another Scorsese masterpiece. Nolan watched two De Palma classics, Phantom of the Paradise (1974) and Carrie (1976), and wouldn't you know it: they're pretty great. We previe...

🚨 🚨 RANT ALERT 🚨 🚨 The guys are feeling rant-y following a TERRIBLE showing from the Giants on Sunday against the Jets, Morgan manages to insult an entire fanbase encompassing (far less than) half of the New York Metropolitan area, and Brody has no idea what Brian brings to the Daboll. The boys also check in on the Knicks first three games of the season. Giants/Jets - 0:00Knicks - 36:20

Morgan and Brody are back at it, the boys take a look at the upcoming Giants and Jets showdown, Morgan got his wish regarding Sean Casey, and the Knicks return tonight. GO NEW YORK GO NEW YORK GO! Giants/Jets: 6:49 Yankees: 18:07 Mets: 26:06 Knicks 33:32

London correspondent Molly Thomas (@angelinrealtime) joins the show to discuss Philly's 3-2 lead in the NLCS and the movies she saw at the London Film Festival, including the new Scorsese which Nolan is still recovering from. Dudes rocking on bikes, Sofia Coppola's take on a mid-century American myth, celebrity gossip, and a new all-time favorite? It's all happening here on Mudville. Support the s...

The first episode of The Staub Brothers' New York Sports, a brand new weekly sports talk show a la all your favorite WFAN or ESPN New York radio vehicles. We'll be covering all the NYC sports teams and get into a debate here and there. Get your New York Sports here!

The playoffs are flying right by and only four teams remain. We recap the Wild Card sweeps and get into the Division Series, including another unceremonious exit from both the Braves and Dodgers. The Twins put up a fight but in the end Houston is inevitable. Are AL East contenders organizationally flawed? Also, the degradation of social media gets more dystopian. Follow us @mudvillepod and please...

ITS PLAYOFF SZN! The Wild Card round is here and we're breaking down all the matchups. The Brewers lost an ace and the D-Backs are rolling with rookie Brandon Pfaadt in Game 1. The Phillies and Marlins prepare for a philosophical divisional clash. The Rangers have the misfortune of visiting Tropicana Field in a matchup that could be a lot more exciting if both teams aces were healthy. The Blue Jay...

It's all happening once: The WGA strike is (tentatively) over, and the regular season has but a week to go. We celebrate the huge victory for creatives and unions everywhere and disagree over the word "content," before diving into a slew of topics. Nolan secured a ticket to Killers of the Flower Moon and remembers an all-time theatergoing experience: attending the LA premiere of The Irishman. We g...

We're back after taking last week off with a shiny new intro! We get into the official CBD of Major League Baseball, the virtues of card collecting, the AL West, the NL Wild Card, and our love for Jon Bois' Dorktown. Brody thinks he got hosed at bar trivia. Nolan reviews Emma Seligman's new movie Bottoms and explains the mumblecore indie movement to Brody, before a conversation about Gen Z's depic...

The return of Mudville Friday. August turned to September and we're talking Simon & Garfunkel. The Angels cut all their players, a lady stuck a gun into Guaranteed Rate Field, and we talk briefly about the movie JFK and something we were definitely alive for, the Vietnam War.

In light of a recent update to the Michael Oher chronology, Bradford William Davis joins us to discuss an ugly cultural relic: 2009's The Blind Side. This movie was nominated for Best Picture and won Sandra Bullock an Oscar. Why are some calling it "one of the worst films of the decade"? Are we among those people? Would it make Obama's end of year list? We connect the book's author, Michael Lewis,...

The failing New York Times published one of their most embarrassing pieces to date and Joey Votto caused commotion on Twitter. We break down two major questions: Are TikTok movie promoters the new Cahiers du Cinema? Could we get a hit in a full MLB season? (0;00 - 12:00) Intro, Fantasy Baseball Trade Deadline, Brody's Trip to Woodstock (12:30 - 39:00) NYT MovieTok Article (39:30) Joey Votto's Hypo...

Huge week for the haters and traders: We celebrate the Yankees-White Sox series by tearing both teams to shreds, before recapping the winners and losers from the 2023 trade deadline. Jose Ramirez knocked Tim Anderson tf out! The Angels shot for the moon and landed in the mud. The Mets pivoted to sell mode, paying teams to take their old aces in return for stud prospects. The Orioles really don't w...

Greta Gerwig & Christopher Nolan accidentally teamed up to create the cinematic event of the decade and we've got the full Barbenheimer scoop. The guys are joined by Seamus Mulhern (writer/director of Growing Boy) to break down two of the biggest movies of the year. (19:00 - 56:00) Barbie (56:30 - 2:02:00) Oppenheimer
