To paraphrase the great 20th century philosopher Lisa Turtle,  "What is art? Are we art? Is art art? And, most importantly, is The Thomas Crown Affair art?"   Television writer/producers, and the subject of a recent Hollywood Reporter piece on their courtship, Stacy Traub (Glee, Blackish, SMILF) and Hunter Covington (It's Always Sunny, Alone Together, The Carmichael Show) join Phil and Kenny to di...

Phil, Kenny and Rachelle Lefevre (Under the Dome, Fox’s upcoming drama series Proven Innocent) walked into a podcast about the 1999 dramedy Anywhere But Here expecting a pleasant conversation about a quaint movie.

Blast from the Past, huh? Isn’t this whole podcast a blast from the past? How’s this for a blast from the past? The year is 1999. Brendan Fraser is a movie star. In fact, he’s high profile enough that two Academy Award winners (Christopher Walken and Sissy Spacek) play his parents. How’s that for a Blast from the Past? Alicia Silverstone is also a movie star. A studio has enough faith in her to gr...

Did you know the beloved Rogers and Hammerstein musical “The King and I” was based on a true story? And that in 1999 they made a live action, epic historical drama about said true story? And that the movie based on the true story starred Jodie Foster and Chow Yun-Fat? And that this obvious Oscar play based on a true story was only nominated for two minor Oscars? And that the true story had no song...

Hey yo, so we got something you might be interested in. It’s a podcast. A real nice podcast. It’s got Phil Iscove and Kenny Neibart and a discussion about Harold Ramis’ mob spoof “Analyze This.” You know, that funny movie where Bobby DeNiro plays a mafia boss with a case of the yips so he hires a shrink who’s played by that guy, you know the one, the comedian with the curly hair who loves Sammy Da...

Phil and Kenny are joined by writer Stacy Traub (The Real O’Neals, Blackish, Glee) for an intimate discussion about the 1999 Richard Nixon comedy, Dick.

How do you take a dingaling like Richard Nixon and avoid turning him into a one-eyed monster? How do y...

Six years ago, Phil and Kenny thought they recorded a podcast on Ashley Judd’s “Double Jeopardy”... but they later learned it was actually about “Kiss the Girls.”   Can Phil and Kenny record another podcast ostensibly about “Double Jeopardy” without breaking the law?    Can they again argue about Ashley Judd’s squandered potential without ending up in jail?   Can they re-litigate the believability...
