Pat and the Fat Man

Per the request of one of our Patrons we have decided to review Red Dawn, the seminal Communist attack the US so a bunch of kids go into the woods and become a brigade of freedom fighters movie. Cause that's a common trope amongst the movies. So we dive head first into this stumbled into masterpiece of coming of age, dealing with trauma, multi-generational feelings sharing, and war. Seriously it's...

The sixth and final installment of our comprehensive review of the cult classic film The Big Lebowski. You've journeyed with us this far through one of, naw the, most ridiculous movie of all time, lets bring this thing to a close. Tune in as we discuss the final confrontation between the Lebowski's, the crazy unfair fight, and saying good by to Donnie. And like the Stranger says, I'm a little raw...

As we close into the endgame of the Big Lebowski we see how much crazier things can get, and somehow, it keeps getting crazier. I mean seriously, how did we even get to this point. Who throws a man out of their cab because he doesn't like the Eagles? Seriously, who does that? Not Pat and the Fat Man.....okay maybe Pat....maybe...

Pat and Bruce review the 2022 Beijing Olympics. The good, the bad, the ugly, the cheaters, the liars, the haters, the hated, and everything in between. Also Why Do We Keep Having Olympics in China?!?!?! Anyways, last sports episode until sometime in the future....we promise.

Yes I am aware we are in the third month of 2022, but the 2021 football season strays into 2022 these days, plus like the month we need to actually record and get our recording to our editors. Either way, Bruce hated the Superbowl. I enjoyed it, but was saddened by the outcome. Sports newscasters are mostly spineless, the way that guy got broken in half in the last seconds of the Superbowl, and co...

This Bi-Monthly episode is a look into what we have available on our Patreon. Patrons have access to two exclusive contents sets: Trailer Reviews and PB&J shorts. Trailer Reviews are just what they sound like - reviews of trailers for upcoming movies. PB&J Shorts are short form versions of our regular podcast where we do an overview of a TV show's episodes, what we liked and disliked, and don't ge...

Back to the Movies we go. Where were we....oh right....the most ridiculous movie ever made, that somehow keeps getting more and more ridiculous from scene to scene. We've crossed the midpoint of the movie now and are entering to the rehash of each scene, but with the ridiculous taken to 11. Marmot in a bathtub folks, marmot in a bathtub.

And we're done, except for the playoffs, and bowl games, but you know, a lot of not caring about that is going on right now. This is the end of the regular season, not as great for Texas A&M as we would have liked, turned out to be something of a rebuilding year for the offense. We will see what next year brings and if me and Bruce want to do a post bowl/playoff recording. Otherwise, it'll be back...

And back to the footballs! Been some rough times for the Aggies, Auburn, Razorbacks, Ohio State, and luckily also Texas. Basically college football has been super crazy this year, honestly even crazier than last year which is dang impressive. Only two teams left with a spotless score: Georgia and Cincinnati, so let's all hope that they let Cinnci into the final four.

come back to the movies, we thought we'd take a break from the football and head back to the films, especially will the collapse of both the Browns and Texas A&M. I mean seriously what is going on in the NFL and the SEC West this year?!?!?! Jiminy Cricket!! Right then let's move on to the movie, yeah. Plenty more ridiculous stuff in this episode, but you know that, so onward to the show!

I honestly can't remember what weeks of football we covered exactly so I'm just saying Part 1. Listen on as Pat and Bruce discuss the performance of their favorite teams, The Browns and The Cowboys. And strangely enough it appears as if it might just be a good year for both teams, which is shocking in so many many ways. So strap in as Pat and Bruce start their journey through the 2020 NFL Season.

From the wreckage of the Colorado game to slightly raised hopes of the New Mexico game, to the horror that was the Arkansas game and the total bleep show that was the Mississippi State game, journey with Pat and Bruce through weeks 3, 4 and 5 of college football. Also a bunch of other teams played, people thought Texas was going to be good, shockingly that aren't, and it turns out that Alabama isn...

en't paid. Wooo! Texas A&M came in with some high high hopes, game one was a little rough, game two was the beginning of what we now know as the collapse of all our hopes and dreams. So tune in, to slightly younger Pat and Bruce who are still hopefully about the coming season.

Continuing our way through the mind bleep that is The Big Lebowski, Pat and Bruce stumble down the rabbit hole into weird and stranger scenes. Join us as we comfort the Big Lebowski in his hour of internal torment, as we meet the most interesting man in the bowling alley, The Jesus, as we see Donny kill Walter's dog, and watch as everything goes horribly wrong while her life is in your hands. Some...

The 2020 Olympics in 2021 is here. Listen in as Pat and Bruce provide overview coverage of the first week or so the summer Olympics. Opinions about swimmers, gymnasts, shooters, fencers, professionals, and the terrible coverage provided by NBC abound. Also, interesting news in the college sports arena, again about money, and what people are or will be willing to do it in the future to get it. Come...

Welcome to another episode of Pat and the Fat Man where we are beginning our journey through the cult classic movie The Big Lebowski. Join us as we start at the low end of ridiculousness with writing a check for 69 cents to buy half and half, to fishing some glasses out of a toilet to put on, to a banana rainstorm, to a gun getting pulled in a bowling alley over an over the line fault. Some of thi...

happening in college sports this summer. Listen in as Pat and Bruce talk about the Supreme Court weighing in the NCAA's treatment of student athletes, as well as what's ahead for A&M in the this year's football season. Given that this was recorded a couple of weeks ago we totally discuss the new news of TU and OU trying to horn in on A&M and Mizzu's jump to the SEC...totally.

It's getting to be that time again! Time for the annual dragging of Bruce down to the river and forcing him to live in a van, you ask? No, time to start talking about sports again. As we emerge from the colder months....and also the springier months...we get to start talking about sports we care about. We're starting this year with baseball and the shakeups that have happened in that arena.

The finale of Bruce and Pat's review of the iconic trope filled film, Ferris Bueller's Day Off. As the conclusion of the film looms large we cover the culmination of each character's arc. Listen in as we discuss Cameron's relationship with his parents, Shawna's conversation with Charlie Sheen in a hauntingly accurate portrayal of his own future self, Sloan wrapping up Ed Roony in a blanket and thr...

Part 3 of Pat and the Fat Man's review of Ferris Bueller's Day Off. From baseball to art museums to parades. Join Pat and Bruce as they talk about the unbelievability of holding hands with random children in a museum, of randomly running into your dad in a traffic jam, of taking over a parade including the speaker system, and of randomly becoming an extra in a movie by dancing. All this and more o...

Unlike 16 Candles, which we did in one go, we decided to take our time with Ferris Bueller's Day Off...because we felt like it. As we move further into the movie's City of Chicago Tourism Board section listen in as Pat and Bruce discuss the lengths to which Ferris is going to get this day off, the relationship between Ferris and his best friend, and how awesome it is to drive a Ferrari. Some of th...

The other tied winner of our 80's iconic movie poll. Thank goodness this one was a lot more fun than 16 Candles. So strap in and listen close as Pat and Bruce explore the deeper meaning behind all things Ferris Bueller, what is undoubtable the most iconic City of Chicago tourism department's best advertisement ever. Hear Pat expound on trope after trope after trope, and Bruce talk about how fun it...

The tied winner of our iconic 80's movie poll, we watched and reviewed 16 Candles. This was pretty rough, all around. This movie has not aged well and it was a bear to both watch and review. So listen in as Pat and Bruce begrudgingly make their way through a classic 80's movie that maybe should have stayed in the 80s.

Disney announced a ridiculous number of new shows and movies during their investor day. Pat and Bruce review the various pieces of the puzzle that relate to Marvel. Will Marvel continue it's constant production of movies, how are the TV shows shaping up, how is Reed Richards gonna kill everyone this time? Some of this discussed, probably, on this episode of Pat and the Fat Man.

Disney announced a ridiculous number of new shows and movies during their investor day. Pat and Bruce review the various pieces of the puzzle that relate to Star Wars. Will the Madalorian continue, what was the deal with the book of Boba Fett, is Han Solo really Rey's father? All this discussed, probably, on this episode of Pat and the Fat Man.
