The Avid Indoorsmen

Ho Ho Ho! Merry Christmas! We hope you’re all having a wonderful holiday season filled with family and friends. We brought back Rob’s wife Kelsey to talk about White Christmas, which has become a yearly tradition in the Lundquist household. We love having her on the show. We wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

We're back with Sami Matarante to talk about the sequel to Wicked, Wicked:For Good. It's been fun getting to chat with Sami about these films based on the musical she and so many people love so much. It had been a little while since we've talked about a brand new film, we hope you enjoy this episode!

Since the much anticipated sequel to Wicked has come out, we decided to finally chat about last year's musical sensation, Wicked. We brought back our good buddy, Sami Matarante, to gush about all of her thoughts on this movie musical. She had many strong opinions and was a delight to talk with, as usual. Hope you enjoy!

The film that made us believe that a werewolf would make a great high school basketball player just turned 40 years old, and we brought one of our hairiest friends, Chris Chatham, back on the pod to chat about it with us. Such a silly movie and an equally silly episode. Hope y'all enjoy.

The sequel to Ace Ventura: Pet Detective turned 30 years old this year, so we brought back the guys we talked to during the original Ace Ventura film, Benny Elledge and Adam Renegade Wilson. We had just as much fun the second time and hope you enjoy this episode. SHIKAKA!!!!

We brought back Adam Rupp to the pod to talk about one of his favorite movies growing up that just turned 40 years old, Clue. Such a fun whodunnit film and has to be the best movie made about a board game. We had a blast and hope you enjoy!

This was one of the scariest films Rob has ever seen and thought it would be fun to make Buegs experience the terror he felt. Hearing these terrified takes made for a fun episode. Happy Halloween!

Robert Downey Jr and Val Kilmer star in one of our favorite comedic murder mysteries of all time in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Our good friend and recurring guest, Timmy St. Sauver, feels the same way about this movie and we had a great time discussing why it is so much fun. Enjoy!

Shirley by now you’ve all seen the movie Airplane! It’s having its 45th anniversary and we decided to have Rob’s Dad, Fred Lundquist, back on the pod to talk about it. We had a great time with Fred and think you’ll enjoy it as well. Enjoy!

After last week's episode on Apollo 13 we decided to double up on space mission movies that don't go as planned, and break down the 2015 Ridley Scott film, The Martian. This is one of those movies that we've seen many times over the last 10 years, it is very rewatchable and it was very enjoyable spending some time chatting about it. Enjoy!

The out-of-this-world Ron Howard classic, Apollo 13, has just turned 30 years old. We brought back to the pod a close friend and super NASA nerd, Pat Nelson, to break this film down. We’ve never seen him so excited to talk about anything. It was really fun getting his perspective on this film and you might just learn something from this episode :)

The Scorsese classic, Goodfellas, is celebrating 35 years and we thought it was about time we talked about this perfect gangster film. It's just the two of us on this one, we were gonna have someone else on but he couldn't keep his mouth shut and he needed to be taught a lesson. Not really...we just got canceled on. Anywho, Enjoy!

It’s all happening on our latest episode breaking down Cameron Crowe’s film, Almost Famous. We brought back our good friend, Timmy St Sauver on this one and had a very good time. Enjoy!

This last week was the first week of the NFL season and to celebrate we decided to chat about a football film that we both adored from the year 1991, Necessary Roughness. We quote it to this day and thought it was about time we broke down this movie. Hope you enjoy!

We got Abe Sword to come back to the pod and talk about one of his favorite Coen Brothers films, Miller’s Crossing, which happens to be turning 35 this year. It was a great time rewatching and breaking this film down with Abe. Enjoy!

This is the first time we've ever done a live version of the pod in front of an audience! We went to the Tim Foust Oregon Getaway and played some games with a few of the performers and we had a great time. Big thanks to Tim Foust, Heatbox, Chris Chatham, Katherine Roy, Jenika Marion and Darrell Marrier. We had a few technical difficulties but excited that we're able to share this episode with you!...

The Replacements is a movie that probably isn't amazing but it's one that we both enjoyed watching many times. We both were still playing high school football when this came out, so it had a pretty big impact on us. And pretty sure that this is the first film we've discussed since Gene Hackman's passing. This one features just the two of us. Enjoy!

The film that introduced Hugh Jackman as Wolverine just turned 25 this year. One of our favorite comic-book aficionados, actor J.Michael Trautmann, helped us out and broke down this film with us. We had a great time with him and he shared some entertaining insights. Enjoy!

Our buddies Jessie Pellowski and Kate Duncan graced us with their presence to reminisce about the 30 year old film, Heavyweights. We had some hot takes and an unhealthy amount of laughs. Enjoy!

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, no it’s Benny Elledge coming back for a second consecutive week to talk about one of his favorite franchises of all time, Superman. We all went to the theater opening weekend to see what James Gunn came up with and recorded an episode on it immediately. Hope you enjoy!

To wrap up our trip through the Back to the Future trilogy, we brought back our beloved frequent guests, Benny Elledge & Renegade. We always have a great time with these fellas and hope you enjoy hearing us discuss Back to the Future Part III.

We're pretty sure that we have never done an episode on Back to the Future Part II before, but had you asked us last week if we'd done an episode on Back to the Future we would have been wrong...All that being said, we were very happy to have Adam Rupp come back on the pod and chat about this awesome sequel. We hope you enjoy!

We've released well over 300 episodes over the last 6+ years and this is the very first time that we've tried to do an episode on a film that we've already recorded an episode on. Thankfully we had Nate Stone on back in July of 2020 and minutes before we were about to record the other day, Nate informed us that we had already recorded an episode on Back to the Future for it's 35th anniversary 5 ye...

Sandra Bullock's hilariously charming Miss Congeniality is 25 years old and we decided to go along on this ride by ourselves. Cue up Bill Withers' "Just The Two Of Us." We had a hoot chatting about this film, hope you enjoy!

The 1996 Best Picture Oscar Winner turns 30 this year and this was a big film for us back in the day. It was also a big film for our guest and friend, Benny Elledge. It was a great time breaking down this film with him. Enjoy!
