Happy Thanksgiving, and Happy Birthday to myself! There are many things to be thankful for, but the thing that would make me most grateful, the best birthday gift you can provide, is to listen to this brand new episode of Podcast Racing! 2025 has had some major highs but also a lot of major lows critically, as well as multiple financial flops. My friends YEJIN and RENZO are on the podcast for the...

Happy 4th of July! It may not be May the 4th, but any day is a good day to talk about Star Wars! Despite the recent box office success of Revenge of the Sith’s re-release in theaters and Andor’s second and final season receiving critical acclaim, Star Wars as a brand and franchise is still struggling. I will be discussing where the franchise can go from here, and how it can improve, along with my...

Brooklyn Nine-Nine is one of the most beloved modern sitcoms, and my friends MADDE, RACHELLE, WILLIAM , and I are all fans of the popular show.  Despite all seasons receiving positive reviews and some even critical acclaim, I believe that the show’s eighth and final season is not only its worst one, but also its only bad season.  My amazing friends and I will be discussing whether the show actuall...

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to listen to my brand new episode of Podcast Racing, where I will be sharing what I WANTED the Academy to nominate along with my dear friends MARYANN and BRIAN (unless you have not seen The Brutalist and The Substance because there will be SPOILERS for both of those films in this episode). I originally wanted to release this episode closer to the 97...

At the church I regularly attend, there are quite a few people whose parents did allow them to watch stuff like Harry Potter and Spongebob during their childhoods. This is surprising to me, because despite growing up in a Christian household, I was allowed to watch pretty much anything that wasn’t R-rated. In today’s episode of Podcast Racing, I will be sharing the reasons why some Christian paren...

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of legendary director David Lynch, as well as everyone living in Los Angeles right now.

In a special brand new episode of Podcast Racing, my...

On the last episode of Podcast Racing, my friends and I delved into slightly more serious subject matter than what is usually discussed on this podcast. In today's episode, I decided to do something a bit more fun and light-hearted. My very good friends BEN, TIM, and I (as well as a welcome surprise guest) will be sharing our top 5 favorite Star Wars characters. Remember that we will be sharin...

This may just be the best episode of my podcast that I have ever released! Often in movies and television, the struggles and inner thoughts of the patriarch of a relationship or family are portrayed, but the wife or mother's perspective is an afterthought or not really presented at all. This is the case with movies such as Oppenheimer and Top Gun: Maverick, as well as TV shows like Breaking Ba...

A brand new episode of Podcast Racing...released on a Monday!? What is this madness? I managed to finish editing today's episode much earlier than usual, so I decided to share it with you all early!

There will be SPOILERS in this episode for the following movies: Avengers: E...

Let me know in the Q&amp...

A question I and most cinephiles get asked is, “what is your favorite movie?”. That has always been a difficult question for me to answer. How can you pick just one movie from over a century of cinema to be the definitive best you have ever seen? I still cannot properly answer that question, but I am going to try to in today's episode of Podcast Racing. My friends BRIAN and PERCY and I will be...

It is extremely likely that films such as Barbie and Oppenheimer will be nominated for multiple categories at the Oscars this year. Is this decision justified, or are there other underrated films more worthy of awards recognition? In today’s episode of Podcast Racing, I will share my personal picks for Best Picture, Director, and Acting if I were in charge of the Oscars along with my very good fri...

Do we live in a society where Joker deserved to win the top prize? Is Once Upon a Time in Hollywood a long forgotten memory? Why was Ford v Ferrari nominated? Happy listening :)

At the 91st Academy Awards, Green Book won Best Picture. In today's episode of Podcast Racing, MaryAnn, Brian, and I will be discussing the 2019 Oscars ceremony and debating on whether the winners of each category were well-deserved or if something else should have won. We will also be briefly sharing various 2018 films that we believe were snubbed. Hope you enjoy :)

Superhero fatigue seems to be going away briefly thanks to the overall positive reception for Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3, as well as overwhelmingly ecstatic early reviews for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (which will be released in theaters nationwide next week). In a very special episode of Podcast Racing, my good friend Tim and I will be discussing the threequel of the Guardians fran...

On today’s episode of Podcast Racing, I decided to do something a little more laid-back.  My friends MaryAnn, Brian, and I are going to look at each other’s Letterboxd profiles and “roast” them.  We are not going to harshly criticize each other’s opinions or insult one another just because we may disagree.  This is something that I wanted to do just for fun, and I hope you will enjoy today’s episo...
