The Avid Indoorsmen

The MCU is back babyyy! Thunderbolts was a great time and we had an even better time talking with Reilly Zamber about it and recording it and posting it for you to hear! Enjoy!

We’ve done quite a few episodes on Tom Hanks movies and if they’re from the eighties or early nineties, chances are we’ve brought on our good buddy Abe Sword. We kept that streak alive and brought Abe back to talk about Joe Versus the Volcano. He got the job and did the job well. Enjoy!

The second film of Ben Affleck's directing career, The Town, is 15 years old. We loved this movie and brought along a recurring guest, Luke Pierce, who also happens to love this movie. We had a great time breaking this film down with Luke and maybe trying out some not so great Boston accents in the process. Enjoy!

It’s time for another movie game night and we thought we’d bring in some folks we’ve never had on the pod before, some UMD Alumns who were part of the theater department. Rob was in productions of Sweeney Todd and Guys & Dolls with them and partook in many many fun nights playing poker and making good decisions as college kids. We’ve had Dave Hauer on the pod before but never for a movie game...

Road Trip turns 25 this year and we talked about this film quite a bit during our Eurotrip episode with Neil Ghosh, so we knew we had to have him come back and break this film down with us. It was a great decision, we had the best time. Enjoy!

This was a movie Rob was super into when he was younger and was very excited that this was the excuse to get Buegs to watch it. Another person Rob made watch it when they were kids was his best buddy, Timmy St. Sauver. Timmy makes his return to the pod and fun was had by all.  Enjoy!

We thought it was finally time to do a light-hearted film and then we scratched that idea and broke down the extremely dark, comedic, slasher horror film, American Psycho. Turns out our good buddy, Chris Chatham, has a pretty dark sense of humor and was all onboard to discuss this film. We had a great time and he still managed to keep a running joke going since his very first episode with us. Enjo...

We’ve finally reached our great white buffalo, Hot Tub Time Machine, which is celebrating its 15th anniversary. We brought back our buddy Brandon Miller who we’ve quoted this movie with a bunch over the years. It was fun having him back on and breaking down this comedy. Enjoy!

The Sean Baker written and directed film, Anora, won Best Picture as well as several other Academy Awards. We both liked Anora and thought it would be fun to record an episode on it with our good friend and recurring guest, Sami Matarante. She had some fun insights and we all had a lovely discussion. Enjoy!

How To Train Your Dragon just turned 15 years old and the new live-action version is coming out this year, so we thought we'd record an episode on it. We brought back our good buddy and dragon enthusiast, Adam Rupp! We had a great time and hope you enjoy!

We're back with the latest Marvel Movie and had to bring back our Marvel-ous guest Reilly Zamber to give us his thoughts. He graciously took time out of his super busy schedule as his baby girl was less than a week old when we recorded this. Big thanks to him and his wife for letting him come and chat with us. Enjoy!

The Rodgers and Hammerstein movie musical is celebrating its 60th Anniversary. This has been a very big movie in Rob’s family so we brought back his Dad, Fred Lundquist, to talk about the countless times he’s seen it. We had a great time and hope you enjoy!

The Oscars will be airing this weekend and we decided to give our predictions on who we think will win for each category. This is the most aligned we’ve ever been for the Oscars, so we’ll see how we do. Enjoy!

We got the guys from the Unofficial Official Podcast to come on and play some games with us. We’ve had Seggie Isho on a bunch and Tyler Trepp played a movie game night with us last year, but this is Mike Luginbill’s first time on the show. Had a great time with these guys. Check out their podcast and go check out a Straight No Chaser show this summer!

Don’t Don’t Don’t Don’t, Don’t You Forget About…How Amazing John Hughes was. This is the 7th John Hughes film we’ve done an episode on. We brought back Abe Sword to tell us all about his thoughts on The Breakfast Club. We had a great time and hope you enjoy listening!

The film that gave us timeless quotes like: “If peeing your pants is cool, consider me Miles Davis.” ; “Don’t tell me my business, devil woman!” and “Stop looking at me, Swan” has turned 30 years old…of course we’re referring to the Adam Sandler comedic classic, Billy Madison. We got our good buddy Maxaphone to come back and chat about one of his favorite movies of all time. Enjoy!

You've heard us talk about our buddies Dave & Post quite a bit, Buegs regularly goes to the movies with them and they're brought up quite a bit. We decided to get Dave on here for the first time and he's pretty great at movie trivia. Since we only had two guys on, we both got to play each other's games as well. Enjoy!

We grew up on the funny monster classic, Tremors, and had to bring back a couple guys who grew up with it as well, Benny Elledge & Renegade. This movie was so great they ended up making 6 more Tremors films! Enjoy listening to our takes on it.

AND WE’RE BACK! Another year has come and gone and we’ve decided to rank our Top 10 films of last year. We had a great time and had pretty different lists this year. If you’re looking for some movie recommendations this is the episode you’re looking for! Let’s hope 2025 brings us some more great movies!

We’ve had our buddies Timmy St. Sauver and Brandon Miller come on to play movie games for our last episode of the year for the past several years, and we decided to keep that tradition going! We’ll be taking a couple weeks off and hope you enjoy the end of 2024 and beginning of 2025! Thanks for listening!

The Christmas Classic that gave us Cousin Eddie and a full shi**er has just turned 35 years old. To celebrate this momentous occasion we brought back our buddy Chris Chatham to break down all of the crazy Christmas shenanigans. Enjoy and MERRY CHRISTMAS/HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

We love a Frank Darabont film that's based off of a Stephen King story. That's why when we heard the Green Mile was having its 25th anniversary, we knew we had to do an episode on it. Amazing film and we enjoyed breaking it down. Enjoy!

Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate! We have brought back some of our friends who call themselves the Funts. Only half of them were able to participate, but we’re THANKFUL we got to play games with Kate Duncan, Jessie Pellowski and Kelsey Lundquist. Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving!

The Edgar Wright/Simon Pegg classic zombie parody movie is turning 20 this year. Should we have released this closer to Halloween? Probably…but we didn’t think about it. At least we went and got one of our favorite buddies, Heatbox, to come on and chat about it with us. He was awesome and you are gonna enjoy this episode!

Galaxy Quest is 25 years old and we brought back Dave Hauer & Jenny Milani, our friends from college and die-hard Galaxy Quest fans. It was great to have them back and explain why Galaxy Quest means so much to them. Never Give Up! Never Surrender!
