The Avid Indoorsmen

Another Social Distancing Session is upon us and we put a twist on it, which is very appropriate considering the film we discussed, Knives Out is the first film we’ve done an SDS episode on that is not on Netflix. We felt this film was worth spending the extra money to rent because of how great it is. Knives Out gives a modern take on the classic Whodunit genre and it’s the first of these films we...

This is our 4th movie game night and we brought back Tim Foust who’s been on several of these and even made up a new game for us to play! His much better half Jenika Marion made her movie game night debut but has been on the pod several times and she is a DELIGHT! Jeffrey East made his Avid Indoorsmen debut and was too much fun. We briefly got to hang with Abe Sword who has been on the pod before...

Howdy Avid Indoorspeople! We’re back with another Social Distancing Session and we were so excited to talk about the Modern Western from 2016, Hell or High Water. To really dive into this film we decided to bring back one of our favorite buckaroos, Straight No Chaser’s Seggie Isho! Before we chat with Seggie we discuss what movies we’ve seen, what we’re streaming and the fun things we’ve been eati...

We’re back with some more Social Distancing Sessions and this time we brought a couple of our favorite college buddies onto the pod! One of these guys you’ve heard during our Marvel Mania episodes and our Inglorious Podcasts, NYC actor, Benny Elledge. The other is Taylor Hayes, who’s also an NYC actor and is making his Avid Indoorsmen debut! Before we break down the film with Benny and Taylor we d...

It’s time for another Movie Game Night! We had such a good time with @TimFoustMusic and @SNCSeggie that we had to bring them back for some more movie game action! We also brought back a guest we haven’t heard from in a while, ex-MLB pitcher/Current Fantasy Football podcaster @BradZiegler! We changed the format up and did 3 separate games instead of one long marathon movie game. This worked out rea...

BANGARANG! We were so excited that Hook was on Netflix so we could add this to our Social Distancing Sessions! Hook was a special movie for both of us, but Rob has been quoting this movie with his sister since it came out, so we had to have her on to talk about it. We’re excited to have Jen Lundquist make her AI debut! Before we chat with Jen we talk about the latest films we’ve seen, what we’re s...

Since we’ve had some extra time we thought it would be fun to do some movie games with different guests! Our first Movie Game Night features Home Free’s own Tim Foust, The Criterion Man himself Darrell Marrier, and Straight No Chaser’s Seggie Isho. Rob has played a particular movie game with the other Home Free guys while driving all over the country and has played this game, naming off actors and...

We were so excited to talk about 2018’s Academy Award winning Best Animated Feature with some of our favorite people in this universe @TheAdamChance and @SamiMatarante! Before we chat with them we talk about the latest movies we’ve seen, what we’re streaming on the inter-WEBS and our favorite meals of late. Chance and Sami always have great insight and that is very present in this episode. We all...

Everyone is stuck in their homes for the next however long, so we thought the next batch of movies we release should all be available to stream on Netflix. We’re calling this new series: Social Distancing Sessions. We decided to bring the laughs on the first episode of Social Distancing Sessions since we all could use more of that in our lives right now. We chose The Other Guys which just so happe...

First off, we hope you are all safe and healthy during these crazy times. We recorded this before the pandemic really got going, so that’s why we don’t mention it at all in the episode. We cannot believe TMNT is 30 years old!?! Since this movie and comic franchise has been such a huge part of our lives, it was really a no-brainer that we would do an episode on it. It seemed like the perfect time t...

HOLY SHNIKEYS! Tommy Boy just turned 25 years old and it just so happens to be one of our favorite movies of all time. We thought we should bring someone on who loves this movie as much as we do, so we have one of our closest friends making his AI debut, our good college buddy, Brandon Miller! Before we talk with Brandon we talk about the last movies we’ve seen, what we’re streaming and what we’ve...

We feel happpppyyyyyyy! The main reason we are so happy is because we got to talk about Monty Python and the Holy Grail which is celebrating its 45th Anniversary!!! The absurdity is overflowing in this episode with great commentary from Rob’s fellow Home Free band member Tim Foust and some noises from Home Free’s beatboxer, Adam Rupp (you’ll understand what we mean when you listen to the episode)....

“Welcome to Hollywood. What’s Yo Dream?!” Our dream is to talk about the Rom-Com Classic, Pretty Woman, which is celebrating it’s 30th Anniversary this year! One thing you’re going to notice is that we have released this out of the order we had planned due to technical difficulties we may or may not reveal at a later date. However, it’s still soooooo much fun! We start off the pod chatting about t...

It is the 20th anniversary of the cult classic, High Fidelity, and it just happens to be one of Rob’s favorite movies. We had to get one of Rob’s lifelong friends to come onto the pod, making his AI debut: Timmy St Sauver! Before we chat with Timmy we discuss the latest movies we’ve seen, what we’re streaming and the best meals we’ve had recently. Breaking down this film was too much fun! Timmy br...

The Academy Awards finally got it right this year and picked the correct Best Picture with the instantaneous cinematic classic, Parasite! To chat about this filmmaking gem we had to pick a gem of a human being to be on this episode, so we brought back Straight No Chaser’s very own Seggie Isho! Before we talk to Seggie we discuss the last films we’ve watched, what we’re streaming and also what we’v...

Happy Valentine’s Day to all of you and Happy 15th Anniversary of the 2005 classic Smith & James Rom-Com, Hitch! To celebrate such a romantic occasion we got Rob’s much better half to be on the pod, the wonderful Kelsey Lundquist! Before we talk with Kelsey we chat about the last films we’ve seen, what we’ve been streaming and what we’ve been eating. We had a blast breaking down this hilarious rom...

It is the 10th Anniversary of the release of Scott Pilgrim VS The World and we thought we should bring in a huge Edgar Wright fan, our brilliant cameraman/video editor buddy, Jimmy Bates! We start off the pod discussing the last films we’ve seen, what we’re streaming and what we’ve been eating. It was a bunch of fun breaking this film down with someone who knows so much about camera work and film...

We found ourselves to be thoroughly entertained while recording this episode of GLADIATOR! We start off chatting about the last movies we’ve seen, what we’ve been streaming and our most delicious meals we’ve consumed most recently. There was a big snowstorm in the Twin Cities and Rob’s family was dealing with the flu, so we recorded this from the comfort of our own homes separately. This was a fir...

Booksmart was one of the best films of 2019 and Rotten Tomatoes even gave it one of their Golden Tomatoes for Best Comedy. That seemed more than reason enough to do an episode on it and we thought it would be fun to bring back our good friend, Beth Swartz! Before we got chatting with Beth about this hilarious film, we discussed the last movies we’ve seen, what we’ve been streaming and the favorite...

Whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when we come for you?!?!? We decided to talk about the 25 year old action film classic Bad Boys, mainly because the 3rd Bad Boys installment is coming to a theater near you on January 17th. We’re trying to help you get your Bad Boys marathon on before going to see Will Smith and Martin Lawrence next weekend! Before we break down Michael Bay’s first feature film w...

To officially conclude our Death Star Diaries we thought it would be funny to talk about the Mel Brooks sci-fi farce, Spaceballs! We got a couple Spaceballs super fans to break down the film with us, Jenika Marion and Adam Rupp! Before we chatted with them we discussed the latest movies we’ve seen, what we’ve been streaming on the platforms and our most delicious meals of late. We surprisingly wer...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! We are now in a new decade, the 2020s!!! But let us not forget the amazingness that was the 2010s. There were some INCREDIBLE films made during that 10 year span and we decided to narrow down the best 10 films of that decade. This was no easy task and we both felt a little insecure about our lists, but between both of our selections we feel that we represented the best films of t...

Sorry for the delay on this one but you know...it was Christmas...and when your niece and nephew ask you to delay editing a podcast to watch Christmas Vacation well... YOU DO IT!! We wanted to get this one out to you ASAP, so there's no fancy timestamps but you'll figure it out! Our guests include our own Adam Chance whom you can catch up with at twitch.tv/adamchance We have a new pal of the pod i...

While we wait for The Rise of Skywalker to be released, we focus our attention on one of the most controversial Christmas movies of all time, Die Hard. Before we jump in with bare feet to break down this film we discuss the most recent movies we’ve seen, what we’re streaming and some great tasting meals we’ve consumed. Right at the top we give our reasons why we think Die Hard should or shouldn’t...
