Hoosiers   Who are the Hoosiers?    Well, if you listen to this podcast, you’re gonna find out who the Hoosiers were.   The Hoosiers were a basketball team, but they were more than a team.    They were actually a group/team of actors in a cast in this movie.      They’re acting as a team and we all know that teamwork makes the dream work. And that DreamWorks is a movie studio.   This is a sports m...

Heat... because there is no other way. Got it? I'm kidding. I was coming in 'hot' so to speak. So, in the late 1600's when the Earth was discovered and then settled- moviemaking began.  It was tedious at first and many lost their lives and later some lost their lunch.  But... it was on one of those tumultuous evenings after several fatal pratfalls and lethal plot devices, casting was discovered. S...

It's that time again. That time of year. When we all can stop and think, smell the flowers or just plain stop. Don't you feel better? Good. Before the internet craze; there was a movie that inspired cybercrime before today's world of fear based and impulse buying of crapola at the mere tap of a smart device button.. And no, that movie was not UHF.  It was Sneakers. This movie stars Robert Redford,...

We've all been there. Right?  I don't need to explain myself. But I will. Confidentially... speaking. Which brings us to UFOs or UPAs or INTERGALACTIC VAGABONDS  as I personally refer to them.

This week- LEEC AND CRRIS investigate LA Confidentia...

When in the course of events, especially the special events. Like limited special offers or while supplies last; types of events. I left out human events. Or other species as well. No one should be left out of this. Even non-living things like rocks or clouds. Or leaves. If they're dead, of course and like, bones of dead people. Because I've already included bones still inside people that are aliv...

Chris and Lee your (and our) co-hosts serve up another hot one! SO, I MARRIED AN AXE MURDERER... but it's not what you're thinking. Or it could be. I don't know, okay?! Fine... So what you are probably thinking is- that we get to see some Axes get what's coming to them, which means some axes get killed. Nope. Nor is this a movie about some kick-ass guitar solos. That get married. Nope.   Spoiler a...

It's Chris. It's Lee. It's a Podcast. It's got sound... It's TOTAL CASTING RECALL It's indescribable. It's incorrigible. It's irreverent. It's in- your- face-crazy.

They've been doing this for millions of years. Because...

We all do. You might think to yourself, 'How do you do it?' I don't know....
