Pick Six Movies is a movie podcast where each season we select six movies, all related to a single theme. We examine the history of the people in front of and behind the camera, try to make sense of how and why the movie was made, then discuss each one in way too much detail to see if they are any good. Pick Six Movies is hosted by Bo Ransdell and Chad Cooper, two life-long friends with a shared passion for discussing things they barely understand in an attempt to make each other laugh.

S2: Episode 2: Superstar 20.07.2018 1:54:08

This season’s theme “Live from New York!” continues with the movie “Superstar,” featuring the brilliantly funny Molly Shannon starring as Mary Katherine Gallagher. In this episode we explore the career of Molly Shannon to get a better understanding of how this movie and it’s protagonist is in many ways a pseudo-autobiographical story of Molly Shannon herself. Unlike many of the movies we discuss o...

S2: Episode 1: Wayne’s World 2 13.07.2018 2:30:28

This season’s theme “Live From New York” features six movies inspired by characters from Saturday Night Live. To kick things off, we present “Wayne’s World 2”, the sequel to the highest grossing Saturday Night Live movie of all time – “Wayne’s World”. It was the success of “Wayne’s World” that ushered in a decade where nine Saturday Night Live inspired films would hit the silver screen. So join us...

S1: Episode 6: The End 22.06.2018 1:51:09

It’s fitting that “The End” caps off Season 1 where we explored the films of Turd Ferguson. This movie comes to represent all we know and love about Burt Reynolds movies in every good way and every bad way. It’s a dark comedy that’s neither dark, nor arguably a comedy. It’s tonal mosaic of a poorly constructed narrative wrapped around a narcissistic protagonist. And did we mention Mr. Reynolds not...

S1: Episode 5: Sharky’s Machine 15.06.2018 2:15:22

Examination of “The Films of Turd Ferguson” continues as we head south to Atlanta and become part of “Sharky’s Machine”. Burt Reynolds both stars in and directs this gritty cop drama that features team of officers that love busting hookers, junk food, one way phone sex, turning invisible, fighting ninjas all while never having a southern accent. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Chad and Bo are back with a look at the comedy/musical/small business tutorial, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas ! There’s a lot of love for Dolly and a heapin’ helpin’ of scorn for this surprisingly lifeless affair of the rented heart. Jump in! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

S1: Episode 3: All Dogs Go to Heaven 01.06.2018 1:52:05

In the third episode of this season we take a look at Don Bluth’s animated feature film “All Dogs Go to Heaven”. Looking for a children’s movie with gambling, murder, gun play, child abduction? What if we make it a musical with tragically forgettable songs and a lack of any sense of morality or good will? It’s features the voice talents of Burt Reynolds, Dom DeLuise, Loni Anderson and it’s just aw...

S1: Episode 2: Stroker Ace 25.05.2018 1:51:15

In the second episode of this season we get back behind the wheel with Burt Reynolds with Hal Needham back behind the camera in the 1983 race car disaster “Stroker Ace”. This movie has everything you expect from the team of Reynolds and Needham. It includes car chases, car crashes, misogyny, sexual assault, attempted murder, bar fights, illogical plot structure and general disappointment. ★ Suppor...

S1: Episode 1: Smokey and the Bandit 18.05.2018 1:35:19

Kicking off this season of Pick Six Movies is 1977’s “Smoky and The Bandit”. This is one of the most iconic movies of the 1970’s, featuring the one and only Mr. Burt Reynolds in what is perhaps his most iconic role of the 1970’s and perhaps his career, that of The Bandit. So join us as we start this six pack of movies with a whole load of six-packs of Coors beer. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon...
