The Mish and Zach Podcast

It's hard to find a movie that our guest (comedian and avid cinephile Alexei Toliopoulos) hasn't seen... but we did it! And it's a movie that many of you have been BEGGING us to unpack. This week, we chat about "The Pest" - a 1997 comedy written and starring our favourite character actor, John Leguizamo! This film tells the story of Pestario - a goofy scam artist that owes money to the Scottish mo...

This week we're joined by the hilarious comedian (and Australia's favourite cinephile), Alexei Toliopoulos! A passionate chat ensues as Zach and Alexei educate Mish on The Fast And The Furious franchise. These three movie lovers also answer the very significant question - which of them is a Margaret... and which of them is a David? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We went to Sydney which means we did a pod with Gen Fricker, of course! Encanto Sing-Along is just like Encanto but you sing along! Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week we're joined by our mate (and Leguizamarama fan-favourite) Gen Fricker! Together we talk about the group chat we have and about all of the thirsty TikToks we send each other every day. We also explore the power of the chef dick and why none of us have ever hooked up with a politician. Delightful! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week, Mish and Zach watched "Fish N Chips: The Movie" - an animated film from 2013 directed by Dan Krech. It's a film about a fish named Fish and a cat named Chips who are both dealing with some deep generational trauma surrounding the ownership of a small bone on a string that they wear like a necklace. Fish's ancestors stole the bone from Chip's ancestors after literally eating them. Chips...

Mish and Zach are back - but we're trying something new! If you love Leguizamarama for the chit-chats at the start, well, you're in luck! We're going to dedicate a whole episode each week to our mindless banter. This week, we're talking all things sexy thrillers. Why was cinema in the 90s so horny? Why has sex in films changed so dramatically? Can Ben Affleck and Ana De Armas save an entire genre?...

What a TREAT to be joined by actor/writer/comedian Naomi Higgins this week! This week we watched "The Ministers" starring Harvey Keitel and John Leguizamo. This film tells the story of a lady cop who only goes to one restaurant and she spends her life trying to find the guy who killed her father ages ago when she was a child. John Leguizamo plays TWINS! Double Legz! You can tell the twins apart be...

This week we watched season 33, episode 10 of "American Masters" - something we both reckon we'd never have watched if not for this delightful podcast that we do each week. In this episode, "American Masters" focuses on iconic Puerto Rican actor Raul Julia - his career on stage and screen, but also his personal life behind the camera and the impact he had on Hollywood. John Leguizamo plays himself...

We've got podcast royalty in the studio with us this week! The hilarious comedian/podcaster/radio presenter Jess Perkins joins us for a chat about the 2016 crime drama "The Infiltrator" directed by fellow John Leguizamo appreciator Brad Furman. This is a movie about catching bad guys who love drugs and money but pretending to be a bad guy who loves drugs and money. John Leguizamo plays Emir Abreu...

This week, we watched the second episode of "Waco: The Aftermath". We continue to learn about the the pre-Waco siege period to help us understand what ia going on in the post-Waco siege period. Lois is super horny for Vernon and together, they do private kisses. Vernon's influence and power within the cult is growing. Michael Shannon raids the home of a far-right white supremacy group. A skinny ma...

So excited for this one! We loved watching "Waco" around 47 years ago (episode 9 of this silly podcast), so when we saw that in 2023 "Waco: The Aftermath" would be hitting out screens, we all thanked the Leguizamo Gods for looking down on us and saying "Ok, you pair of weirdos. Have a little treat." "WACO: The Aftermath" episode 1 is the first of 5 episodes in a series directed by Drew Dowdle and...

"Fugly!" is a 2014 comedy written by Kathy Demarco and John Leguizamo. This movie is loosely based on many of John's life experiences. It tells the story of Jesse - a man so ugly that he has to rely on comedy to get through the increasingly difficult happenings of his life. Jesse makes the decision to take his own life, but not before he creates a video memoir recorded on his laptop. John plays Je...

This week, we've got the amazing comedian/writer Ashley Apap in the studio with us to talk about the 20th episode of the 3rd season of Disney's kid show "Elena of Avalor". This a cartoon about a princess and her free-loading blonde friend. There's a bunch of bad people who release a giant into the world... presumably to kill the princess... which is so dark. John Leguizamo plays Tziloco, a crystal...

The director of 1984's "Mixed Blood" is Paul Morrissey. He is best known for having made crazy, camp and kitsch films. This particular film tells the story of a Brazilian gang of drug dealers in Manhattan led by an alpha-female mother-type. It's really vibey and strange. John Leguizamo plays a young guy playing basketball. He's on screen for about 3 seconds. This the the first feature film to feat...

Leguizamarama is thrilled to be joined by Greg Larsen this week! He is a phenomenal comedian, writer, actor and podcaster and genuinely one of the most talented people we know. To show him our appreciation for coming on the pod, we made him watch a failed pilot from 2012 titled "The King of Van Nuys" which is one of the most bizarre things we've watched in the history of Leguizamarama. "The King o...

"Point of Origin" is a 2002 television movie based on a true story about a serial arsonist named John Orr (played by Ray Liotta EXCUSE ME!?) who spends the entire movie lighting stuff on fire and trying to cover his tracks. John Leguizamo plays Keith - a newbie on the police force who looks up to John Orr like a mentor, but quickly discovers that he just likes to set shit on fire and that's super...

To celebrate the commencement of 2024, we thought we'd watch a YouTube clip from the mid 90s and dedicate an entire podcast episode to it. Very normal behaviour. This week, we watched "John Leguizamo Interview On The Jon Stewart Show (June 18 1995)" which is a YouTube clip starring the man this podcast is all about. In this interview, he talks about his role on Die Hard 2, and he also shows his bo...

When we mention the "Ice Age" franchise, who is the first person you think of? Is it comedian, writer snd improvisor Ben Russell? Of course it is! And this week he's joining us in the studio for as very festive episode. "Ice Age: A Mammoth Christmas" is a 2011 television special that tells the story of that little squirrelly ratboy and his stupid acorn, Sid the sloth ruining Christmas for all of h...

'Tis the season, friends! Which means it's time for Mish and Zach to chat about "Nothing Like The Holidays" - a 2008 Christmas movie that tells the story of a large Puerto Rican family that gets together at the family home to celebrate Christmas. It's got drama, comedy and Alfred Molina. What more could you want?! John Leguizamo plays Mauricio - the eldest sibling within the Rodriguez family/ He's...

"Assault on Precinct 13" (2005) is the remake of John Carpenter's 1974 original. This mid 2000's remake is 40 minutes longer and has Ethan Hawke, Maria Bello and Morphius.
