The Mish and Zach Podcast

It's time to talk about Puss again! Except this time, we've dragged comedian/writer/producer Bec Petraitis into the studio to chat with us! Jack Spratt is back, baby! And all of Puss' friends are mad about it. Why? Because he's a thieving smarty pants that always encourages Puss to do naughty things. In the 9th episode of the 1st season of "The Adventures of Puss in Boots", Jack Spratt steals some...

Crónicas is a 2004 Ecuadorian thriller/drama. The film tells the story of Manolo Bonilla - an unscrupulous journalist from Miami who is in Ecuador to report on the impact of a serial killer known as The Monster of Babahoyo. Lots happens. Lots of stuff about challenging ethical journalism. Lots of stuff about murder. It's dark. We honestly can't say much without spoiling the film. John Leguizamo pl...

True Leguizamo fan and genius funny person, Jude Perl, joins us this week to chat about "Summer of Sam" - Jude's favourite Legz movie! "Summer of Sam" is a 1999 drama/thriller directed by Spike Lee. The film is set in New York in 1977 - right in the middle of a sexual revolution. New York is haunted by a deranged serial killer that is infamously known as Son Of Sam. Vinny (play by John Leguizamo)...

This week, we are joined by the absolutely fabulous award winning comedy superstar, Frankie McNair! What a treat! The three of us had a bloody ball chatting about John Leguizamo's Tony Award nominated one-man stage show, "Sexaholix... A Love Story". This HBO special aired in 2002 and is 90 minutes of Leguizamo's iconic storytelling. Lots of fun and evocative stories about love, sex and becoming a...

Back in 2021, John Leguizamo was interviewed on the Stephen Colbert late show titled "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert". We reckon about 10-20 minutes after the interview, a producer approached him and said "hey, mate. Do you have a spare 10-20 minutes to film a fun little something for our YouTube channel?" John agreed. In this YouTube video titled "Late Night Sketchbook with John Leguizamo", J...

"Zig Zag" is a very depressing 2002 American Indie comedy/drama film. An autistic 15 year old boy steals money from his boss to provide rent for his abusive father, Blade, who uses the money to repay a loan shark, the bad guy from "Blade 2". This movie also stars Natasha Lyonne who ages at half the rate of a normal person, and Oliver Platt who plays Yosemite Sam. John Leguizamo plays the role of D...

"Vacation" is a short film created, produced and staring "Flatbush Zombies", an American rap/hip-hop group from Brooklyn, New York. The short film opens with the three Flatbush Zombies members having a chat over sandwiches in a diner. They chat about how they can make their upcoming music the best music they have ever created. Throughout their conversation we see flashes of music videos (presumabl...

We had the best time chatting with one of Australia's most exciting comedians, Alex Hines! Alex is a hoot. We made her watch a movie about chess. "Critical Thinking" is a biographical drama film loosely based on the US National Chess Champions from Miami Jackson High School - the first inner city team to win the championship. Not only does this film star our mate John Leguizamo, but he also direct...

Remember that time we watched and reviewed 1993's "Super Mario Bros"? And then we watch the Morton-Jankel cut of the same movie? And then we did some screenings of it at Lido Cinemas in Hawthorn, Melbourne? Yeah? Well, now we're chatting about the "Making of" which can be found on the German DVD, released in 1997. Fun fact - 1997 is the same year "Spice World - The Movie" was released! On October...

Our resident sci-fi guy (Aunty Donna's Sam Lingham) joins us for the much anticipated chat about "The Mandalorian" Season 2, Episode 1 titled "Chapter 9:The Marshal." In this episode of Jon Favreau's "The Mandalorian", Robocop and fake Mandalorian join forces with Baby Yoda and a variety of fun space characters to battle a large sand shark. John Leguizamo plays Gor Koresh - a one-eyed gambler and...

We love Sam Petersen! We particularly like inviting him onto our podcast and making him watch confusing cinema from the mid noughties. "The Alibi" is a 2006 American comedy. It stars Steve Coogan as a dude that owns a company that does alibis for people who like to cheat on their partners. Mostly men if we are being honest, but the film is quick to remind the audience that women also cheat and lie...

"Experimenter" is a 2015 biographical drama that tells the story of the controversial 'Stanley Milgram Experiments' that took place in the 1960s. Peter Sarsgaard stars as Stanley Milgram. This movie is the most Peter Sarsgaard-y film to ever be made. Peter Sarsgaard is also the brother-in-law of Jake Gyllenhaal, the apparent subject of Taylor Swift's "All Too Well" which has recently been released...

We may be on out 101st episode, but we're still talking about our 100th episode! Which film is the most Leguizamo-y? Will the People's Choice award be well received? How many LeguiSTARmos does 'Dunston Checks In' get? We answer all of these questions AND MANY MORE* in this episode! Not really. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

100 EPISODES, BABY! We did it! We some how managed to record 100 podcast episodes about one-pot pasta, Star Trek and occasionally the world's greatest character actor, John Leguizamo. We take a little trip down memory lane in this episode. It's kind of an award ceremony. It's kind of a recaps episode. It's definitely unhinged. Thanks for joining us over the last 100 eps! We appreciate it so much....

It's been a big three and a half months for us over here at the Leguizamarama headquarters. Three and a half months of doctors, nurses, surprise pregnancies, monkey babies, Shane West wanting to be in a boy band, naked Shakespeare, Christmas parties held in basements, Sara Gilbert, witty one-liners, fights that never get resolved, medical professionals having sex with each other, memory loss, alco...

And Just Like That, we are given the gift of Season 12, Episode 21 of "ER" - the final episode of "ER" to feature John Leguizamo. Together, we have watched the wobbliest character arch to ever be put on our TV screen as we follow Victor Clemente's journey through the Emergency Room of Chicago's County General Hospital. Throughout this episode, we see Clemente slowly lose his mind. He has dark circ...

"No Place To Hide" is episode 19 of season 12 of "ER." It's an episode in two parts. Part one is like a normal episode of "ER". Liar Liar does an 'I Am Sam' plot but with dementia. The weird, funny dude is grumpy to the sexy, mean surgeon and then the sexy, mean surgeon kisses him because that's how lust works. Clemente is slowly losing his mind because Bobby is sending him threatening letters wit...

"Lost In America" is the title of the 17th episode of the 12th season of the same medical drama we have been watching the last few months. Clemente has passed his drug test and is back working as a doctor at the ER. Hooray! He has shaved his face and put on a white lab coat and is no longer snorting drugs off of his naked girlfriend. He is, however, totally homeless. He is secretly sleeping at the...

Episode 15 of ER's 12th season tackles some full on shit. Clemente wants to come back to work at the ER and is shocked that his colleagues aren't too keen for that. This seems really unfair, even if he did disappear for over a week and came back wanted for the attempted murder of his married girlfriend. 8 Mile and Bend It Like Beckham clash about some stuff but it doesn't involve John Leguizamo so...

Victor Clemente is back, baby! And it's incredibly full on. ER, Season 12, Episode 14 is titled "Quintessence of Dust" which really doesn't explain the episode at all. Clemente has returned to our screen, but even though he used to be a quick-talking, rule-following, stern surgeon in crisp scrubs, he is now a messy junkie without a shirt. Bobby (Clemente's lover's husband) sneaks into their apartm...

ER, Season 12, Episode 12 does not feature John Leguizamo. We have to talk about it, but really, does the plot matter if Clamente ain't there? We chat heap about "The Menu" - a John Leguizamo movie that is coming out later this year which (based on the trailer) just SCREAMS five leguiSTARmos! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 11 of season 12 of the smash-hit medical drama ER is titled "If Not Now." It's two weeks post-Christmas. Liar Liar is pregnant with Practical Magic's baby and we learn that neither of them are 100% sure whether they want to abort or follow through with the pregnancy. This internal battle is presented to the audience through a series of flashback scenes that doesn't seem to suit the vibe of...

"All About Christmas Eve" is the 10th episode of Season 12 of the medical drama "ER." Practical Magic is now the chief of emergency medicine. To celebrate, he hands out Christmas presents to the staff at the hospital while wearing a silly little Christmas hat. He then, in the Christmas spirit, gives a bunch of people the night off which leads to a severe risk of death for many of the patients. The...

ER, Season 12, Episode 9 is titled 'I Do.' Bend It Like Beckham's army boyfriend is back! And he spends the majority of the episode pressuring Beckham into marriage, even though Beckham says 'no' at least 100 times. He follows her around the hospital and wears her down until she finally agrees and they get married in the basement of the hospital once it has been decorated like a shit nightclub. Cl...
