53:10

My friend, Kathleen Sullivan, is back and so is everyone else for the sequel to Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle - aka Jumanji: The Next Level. Even Colin gets more screen time in this one, so you know it's a good time. Plus, there's a horse and Awkwafina. Listen to us discuss all the times Kevin Hart as Danny Glover made us laugh out loud. No "Call-…

2+ y ago50:58

50:58

This week, I've got my friend and fellow NYU film alum, Kathleen Sullivan, back to talk about the super fun Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017). This reboot is one of the only ones that works. You hear that Hollywood? And Colin Hanks and Nick Jonas are the same character. What more could I want? No "Call-in Colin" this week, but if you'd like to …

Band Aid (2017) With Nadia Garbosky 58:20

2+ y ago58:20

58:20

This week, I'm joined by my friend and returning guest, Nadia Garbosky, to talk about Band Aid (2017). We've got another blink-and-you'll-miss-it part from Colin Hanks. This movie also gives off real NYU film vibes, but it's got some great cameos and was an all female crew. That's pretty impressive. No "Call-in Colin" this week, but if you'd like t…

Elvis & Nixon (2016) With Ashley Stauber 1:05:32

2+ y ago1:05:32

1:05:32

This week, I sit down with my friend Ashley Stauber (@ashleystauber) the same way Elvis sat Nixon down to talk in Elvis & Nixon (2016). Colin has a great role in this weird movie about two famous guys from the '70s talking about Karate, moon rocks from Buzz Aldrin, and Dr Pepper. No "Call-in Colin" this week, but if you'd like to be a part of the n…

Fargo (2014) With Charlie Mihelich 53:23

2+ y ago53:23

53:23

It's finally time to talk about Fargo (2014). Colin Hanks has a big role and I've got a lot to talk about with my friend and the co-host of the Baywatch Watch podcast, Charlie Mihelich (@mihelicopter). We do get sidetracked and talk about The Man in the Iron Mask and I do make Charlie take a 30-question quiz, but the rest is all Fargo and Colin. No…

Vacation (2015) With Kathleen Sullivan 53:41

2+ y ago53:41

53:41

This week, I'm joined by one of the best friends, Kathleen Sullivan (@kat_sullivan), who I met in film school, so you know this is a very well educated conversation about the movie Vacation (2015). Once again Colin Hanks is only in a "blink and you'll miss it" scene of this movie, but we still must talk about it. Also, did you know this is part of …

No Stranger Than Love (2015) With Jaya Ramdath 1:06:24

2+ y ago1:06:24

1:06:24

Childrens TV writer and my BFF, Jaya Ramdath, joins me this week to talk about Colin Hanks' movie No Stranger Than Love. Colin spends most of this movie in a hole, but at least he's in it for more than one scene. You've got to trust our opinions on this one, because we're two NYU film alumni. No "Call-in Colin" this week, but if you'd like to be a …

NCIS (2013) With Barbara Chapman 56:49

2+ y ago56:49

56:49

My favorite person in the world, my mom, joins me to talk about Colin Hanks' guest starring role on the super popular NCIS. My mom is a big NCIS fan and I'm just a casual watcher when it's on, so we have very different opinions about Hanks' character on the show. What do you think of the character of Richard Parsons? No "Call-in Colin" this week, b…

3y ago1:00:53

1:00:53

My friend Stephanie Chanel Myers (@velvetnico) joins me to discuss the JFK assassination movie Parkland (2013). You can't have a JFK assassination movie without talking about the conspiracy theories. This movie is also star-studded with Zac Efron, Paul Giamatti, David Harbour, Ron Livingston, and Jeremy Strong from Succession. Do all these good peo…

This week, I'm joined by writer and actor Alex Song-Xia (@alexsongxia) to talk about Super Buddies (2013). Colin Hanks plays an alien dog who comes to Earth and Air Bud's kids save the day. Did you know there's a whole Air Bud franchise? This movie is a must-see and Alex and I find out which one of the buddies we are. Also, Zendaya is in this movie…

52:00

The co-host of I've Been Meaning To Listen To That, Andrew Ambrose Lee (@aundrewlee), joins me to discuss another small role for Colin Hanks in 2012's The Guilt Trip. I totally thought this would be a comedy comedy, but instead, it was supposed to be Barbra Streisand's big dramedy comeback to movies with Seth Rogan. Who knew? We didn't. No "Call-in…

Lucky (2011) With Andrew Grace 52:54

3y ago52:54

52:54

We're back and talking about Colin Hanks. This week, I have my friend and comedian Andrew Grace (@andrewpgrace) to talk about the dark comedy Lucky starring Colin as a serial killer. It really is weird seeing this dark side to Colin, but it's not new. Andrew and I talk about how we would have made this comedy movie funnier. No "Call-in Colin" this …

I'm joined by the co-hosts of I Was Scared, Too!, John Zachary Townsend (@jztsoundsystem) and Mitchell Stephen Fesh (@kissiesfromplanetsmooch), to talk about Finch (2021). This movie that looks like a fake movie about Tom Hanks, a robot, and a dog is actually very sad, but we make talki…

Comedian, TikToker, and Podcast host Clare Loughran (@clary_poppins) joins me this week to discuss Colin Hanks' next film, Barry Munday (2010).

3y ago1:05:10

1:05:10

This week, my friend and cactress Ann Maddox (@mikiannmaddox) joins me this week to discuss the movie High School (2010) with Colin Hanks. This movie has a star-studded cast, but we'd never heard of it before. The title is also more literal than you'd think, and Ann takes a quiz to determine if she's high or not. No "Call-in Colin" this week, but i…

Comedian and illustrator Matt Czap (@mattczap) joins me this week to discuss Colin Hanks in Season 2 of Mad Men. Was Colin the OG hot priest before Fleabag?

W. (2008) With Dennis Curlett 1:00:15

3y ago1:00:15

1:00:15

Things get political this week, because we're talking W. (2008) with my good friend and director of Paradox Lost, Dennis Curlett (@futuremedennisc). This movie was weird, and we couldn't tell if it was a satire or serious. What we do know is this movie will definitely take you back to the early 2000s trauma you probably suppressed, so there's that.…

The House Bunny (2008) With Alyssa Sabo 57:59

3y ago57:59

57:59

What an exciting time, because this week, I'm talking The House Bunny (2008) with Alyssa Sabo (@alyssa_sabo). This movie is perfect and a great time capsule of the 2000s. Anna Faris is a hilarious queen, Colin Hanks is charming, and the girls of Zeta are perfect. If you haven't seen this movie yet, what are you waiting for? You'll want a a full mah…

This week, I'm talking about My Mom's New Boyfriend (2008) with Erin Byrne Siskind (@esbyrne). Wow, Colin Hanks and Meg Ryan in a movie together?

Magician Krys Tabujara (@krys_t_) joins me this week to talk about The Great Buck Howard (2008). In this movie, John Malkovich plays a mentalist who hires Colin Hanks as his road manager.

1:10:15

This week, I'm joined by my friend and comedian Cory P. Willis (@burncoryburn) to discuss what we would do if we found a finger in our kitchen. Or, at least, we discuss what Colin Hanks does in the movie Careless (2007). This movie seemed like it was missing some direction along with a finger, but don't worry, we pitch a better version. Also, Cory …

Comedian Coop Foster (@this_is_coop) joins me this week to talk about the thriller Alone With Her (2006) starring Colin Hanks. Colin plays a stalker and that's it.

The co-hosts of the Nintendo Cartridge Society podcast, Mark Mitchell & Patrick Ehlers, join me to discuss not Donkey Kong but King Kong (2005) starring a lot of people and Colin Hanks.

It's reunion time as I have my dear friend Bridgette Rizkalla (@razkilla), who you can see all over NYC, with me to discuss Standing Still (2005) starring Colin Hanks... or shall I say starring James Van Der Beek.

A lady about the internet, Ashley Stauber (@ashleystauber), joins me this week to talk about Colin's brief cameo in The O.C. Yes, it's a very small role, but it's a fun one. And who doesn't like talking about The O.C.? We also discuss the meta-ness and how much we wish we could see more. Also, Ashley finds out which The O.C. character she would pla…

This week, I'm joined by two of the greatest people — Janine Hogan (@j9_hogan) and Suzee Dunn (@bosswitch) — to discuss one of Colin's greatest films, Orange County (2002).

This week, we go back to a movie I originally skipped in my journey to watch every single Tom Hanks movie — Cars (2006). Tom makes a tiny cameo at the end of the movie, but it counts, so I've asked my friends and married comedians Erin Smith and Tanner Hodgeson to talk about it. Turns out, Cars is just the Michael J. Fox movie Doc Hollywood. Also, …
