THE True Bromance Film Podcast - Rudy

Episode 220 - Rudy It's that time of the year where we lose our weekends to the futile hopes of our favorite football team winning a game or two. To celebrate this festive season, we are looking back at 1993 at the gridiron classic, Rudy. Along with Rudy, we are contractually obligated as part of any medium that discusses film or pop culture to provide a review of Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

Episode 10 of Original Remake: The Longest Yard 1974 and 2005

With the kickoff of American football, we are in the mood for a double feature of THE LONGEST YARD. In the 1974 version, Burt Reynolds has us scratching our hairy chests in admiration, while Adam Sandler has us scratching our (egg shaped) heads at the jokes presented on screen. Find out which film we chose, the original or the remake, and also which centerfold graces Mike's wall.

Ep. 178 of War Machine vs. War Horse: Pawn Sacrifice (Searching for Bobby Fischer vs. Game Over: Kasparov and the Machine)

On this episode we look at the pressures of chess, not by actually playing the game ourselves, but instead watching a small child get berated by his father and the best chess player in the world berate a machine. Our resident nerd expert, Patrick McGill of Role Play Craft , joins us for a double feature of SEARCHING FOR BOBBY FISCHER and GAME OVER: KASPAROV AND THE MACHINE. But first, Ben from the podcast Cinematic For the People was kind enough to join me for a conversation on how I will get my first Oscar and also new release PAWN SACRIFICE.

Episode 63 of Hydrate Level Four - 5 Favorite Sports Movies

Peter is joined by returning guest hosts Karly (of That Pop This Life and Talking Shondaland ) and Devin (of The Liquor Run Podcast ) to talk about their five favorite sports movies and a long list of honorable mentions. Hopefully we can remind you of some of the ones from your childhood!  

Ep. 161 of War Machine vs. War Horse: Southpaw (Fat City vs. Million Dollar Baby)

On this episode we experience the triumph and tragedy of boxing... from the safe distance of a movie screen. New release SOUTHPAW inspires a trip to the movies with Karly from the podcasts That Pop This Life and Talking Shondaland, and we continue to talk boxing with two older films in FAT CITY challenging Best Picture winner MILLION DOLLAR BABY.

Episode 67 of the True Bromance Film Podcast - Southpaw / Single Parents

Episode 67 We are honored to be joined, once again, by Kevin Thompson, one of the hosts of the Cinema Geek Cast, to review SouthPaw and to discuss the best and worst single parents in film.

Episode 95 of War Machine vs. War Horse: Red Army (Once Brothers vs. The Other Dream Team)

On this episode we look at documentaries about a country's ties to their respective sports teams with a 30 for 30 film ONCE BROTHERS, which is about an Olympic basketball team that is broken up once the nation breaks out into civil war. This is very similar in premise to the other documentary we will review (except much different in tone) with THE OTHER DREAM TEAM. Hopefully that's not too much sportsing for our film nerd listeners, because first, we have an interview with Gabe Polsky, director of the new film RED ARMY.

Episode 3 of War Machine vs. War Horse: Draft Day (Moneyball vs. Trouble with the Curve)

If all you cinephiles can't get enough of the NFL Draft, we have a treat for you (debatable) with an episode from the vault: "It's DRAFT DAY in the NFL for Kevin Costner, and that can mean only one thing for us... we review two baseball movies not starring Kevin Costner. MONEYBALL and TROUBLE WITH THE CURVE are on the clock, and keeping with War Machine vs. War Horse tradition, we watch Brad Pitt continue to have great hair, and discover the evil that is Matthew Lillard."
