Load Bearing Beams

135 episodes - English - Latest episode: 3 days ago - ★★★★★ - 18 ratings

A movie you love so much that it holds up the foundation of the very structure that is you... we call it a Load Bearing Beam. Laci Roth and Matt Stokes are a married couple that needs to find stuff to watch together. On this show, they take a look at movies loved by one but unseen, disliked, or forgotten by the other. With open hearts but exhausted and cynical minds, they will get to the bottom of whether or not the movies they love so much are actually good.

112. Cruel Intentions

April 26, 2024 10:59 - 1 hour - 132 MB

NOTE: Boy do we say some stuff in this episode. As always, please keep in mind that the language on this podcast is rated R. For pirates. As adults in their late thirties, Laci and Matt are just the right age to play the “teenager” characters in the sexy cult classic Cruel Intentions (1999). Together, your hosts unpack how differently the movie plays for them as adults (funny) than when they were teenagers (deadly serious), and gush over the deliciously evil performance of Sarah Michelle G...

111. X2: X-Men United

April 19, 2024 10:50 - 1 hour - 137 MB

Content warning: We discuss the sexual assault allegations against director Bryan Singer.  As adults in their late thirties all around the world gush about X-Men 97 on Disney Plus, we take a look back at a movie widely considered one of the high points of superhero cinema: 2003’s X2 (a.k.a. X-Men 2, a.k.a. X2: X-Men United). We begin by unpacking our histories with the X-Men and comic books and superheroes in general, then take a look at the serious allegations against Bryan Singer.  W...

110. Overboard (1987)

April 12, 2024 10:40 - 1 hour - 143 MB

Look, you shouldn’t kidnap a woman who has suffered a traumatic brain injury and then imprison her for months, lying to her about who she is in order to get her to clean your house and raise your kids. It’s not an ideal way to start a relationship. That is something we believe. But when you're Kurt Russell and you do it? Well then we're having a different conversation.  We’re talking about the rom-com classic from 1987, Garry Marshall’s Overboard! Plus, a lot of talk about an ass crack and...

Back in one week with our 'Overboard' episode

April 05, 2024 10:52 - 58 seconds - 1.33 MB

Howdy everybody. We're still exhausted after our epic Easter Egg Hunt earlier this week. That's right, like Parzival and all his Ready Player One friends, we're Gunters. Anyway, we're taking this week off. We'll be back on Friday, April 12, 2024 with an episode about Overboard (1987), starring that adorkable couple, Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. 

109. The Producers (1968) (with Harry Marks)

March 29, 2024 11:00 - 1 hour - 124 MB

It’s Springtime for Laci and Matt as film historian Harry Marks (@lobbyintros on TikTok) joins the show to go over Mel Brooks’s first movie: the classic comedy The Producers (1968). Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder give two of the funniest performances ever… but what about the rest of the movie? Is it laugh-out-loud-funny in 2024? Or is it hopelessly dated? Or is there possibly a third option? Harry’s making great videos about classic films on his TikTok. We’d like to point you specifically to ...

108. Evolution

March 22, 2024 10:30 - 1 hour - 136 MB

As the world prepares to embrace its new Frozen Empire, lovingly brought to us by the good people at Ghost Corps, we take a look at a movie that was kind of Ivan Reitman’s unofficial Ghostbusters 3: 2001’s Evolution. Um, so… yeah, this movie is something else, I tell you what. David Duchovny trying to be Bill Murray. Julianne Moore falling down. Selenium sulfide. A magical periodic table. But hey, Phil Tippett did the creature designs! And Seann William Scott’s always a fun addition. Nex...

107. Heart And Souls

March 15, 2024 11:00 - 1 hour - 150 MB

The week Robert Downey Jr. has finally secured his coveted Oscar, we take a trip back in time. The year is 1993. A movie called Heart and Souls is released, in the aftermath of what Downey must have assumed was his Academy Award for the movie Chaplin (1992). We take a big long look at RDJ's career and also examine the curious '90s phenomenon of angel movies.  Next week: The movie that was supposed to be Ghostbusters 3: Ivan Reitman’s Evolution (2001). Watch every episode of Load Bearing ...

106. The Pagemaster

March 08, 2024 11:20 - 1 hour - 112 MB

The written word... that's the real magic, isn't it, you guys? Don't you just love cracking open a great book and being transported to a wondrous world? The Pagemaster (1994) is going to insist that you do love this. Loudly, and repeatedly. Laci and Matt take a look at this bizarre '90s live-action/animation flop and try to figure out exactly what Turner Feature Animation was going for.  There's also a lot of discussion about the sort-of-forgotten genre of made-for-kids-not-families movies...

Back in one week with our 'The Pagemaster' episode

March 01, 2024 11:56 - 1 minute - 1.56 MB

Hey folks, as we announced previously, we are taking this week off due to work requirements. We're coming back and better than every on March 8, 2024 with a brand-new episode about the wild Macaulay Culkin book movie The Pagemaster (1994).  As always, thanks for supporting our dumb podcast. If you haven't already, please check us out on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@loadbearingbeamspod And why not check us out on TikTok, where Laci is producing great videos, including her popular 'colori...

105. Dogma

February 23, 2024 11:45 - 1 hour - 148 MB

In what is quite possibly the most snoogans episode we've ever recorded, we examine Kevin Smith’s Dogma (1999). At Laci's behest, we take our maiden voyage into the View Askewniverse to see what this controversial, transgressive, downright RUDE film has to say about religion, politics, and the state of things in Clinton’s America at the end of history.  Next week: We’re taking a week off. We’ll be back on March 8, 2024 with an episode about (...reads notes...) ... The Pagemaster? Watc...

BONUS: Songwriting, collaboration, and life as a working musician (with Wade Hymel)

February 21, 2024 22:36 - 55 minutes - 76.9 MB

Wade Hymel and Matt Stokes sit down for a free-wheeling discussion about different approaches to songwriting, creativity, collaboration, and recording. Wade also talks about his experience as a working musician, what going on tour is like, and what it's like to play music on a cruiseship. Then they talk about Wade's great new album Who Said That?  Hear Wade's amazing new album WHO SAID THAT? on Apple Music (https://apple.co/49xiC29), Spotify (https://bit.ly/3I2SwYE), or wherever else musi...

104. GoldenEye (with Wade Hymel)

February 16, 2024 12:00 - 1 hour - 151 MB

Hear Wade's amazing new album WHO SAID THAT? on Apple Music, Spotify, or wherever else music is streamed. Or you can purchase the album from Bandcamp. Load Bearing Beams welcomes back Number 1 Friend of the Show, “Jack” Wade Hymel, to reconsider GoldenEye (1995). Wade first brought this movie to the show's attention on an episode in 2017, when both Laci and Matt panned it. Have their hearts thawed? Will James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) catch that falling plane in time? Will the villainous Ale...

Laci and Matt were guests on another podcast!

February 14, 2024 22:26 - 2 minutes - 2.84 MB

Hey folks! Laci and Matt here to tell you that we were just on the great In Love With Horror podcast, and you can catch that episode right now! It's a deep dive into the classic 1981 slasher My Bloody Valentine and its 2009 remake.  If you're not already listening (In which case: the fuck?), it's a show hosted by a married couple, the lovely Kristie and AJ. They cover all things horror—movies, TV, games, books. Like our show, their show can go a little off the rails, but a good time is had...

103. Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves (Listener Choice!)

February 09, 2024 12:00 - 2 hours - 173 MB

At the suggestion of our friend StitchAndStoryTime, we take a look at 1991's Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. This movie was a colossal hit in its day, and it's got a little something for everyone—tree houses and homemade gadgets and traps for the kids, sword battles for Dad, romance for Mom, and a healthy amount of the Dark Arts for Matt Stokes. This movie is nuts and we had a lot of fun talking about it for over two hours (sorry/you're welcome). Next week: Friend of the Show Wade Hymel r...

102. Casablanca

February 02, 2024 12:00 - 1 hour - 134 MB

We head back to good old Hollywood, USA: Golden Era for a look at one of the most beloved American films of all time, 1942's Casablanca.  You hear this all the time about old, black-and-white movies, but this thing feels incredibly modern, and with much to say about the world of 2024. We discuss our personal histories with it, Matt's story of getting into classiv movies after watching it for the first time as a teenager, what audiences would have understood watching the movie in the 1940s ...

101. The Whole Nine Yards

January 26, 2024 12:00 - 1 hour - 113 MB

We take a trip to Montreal, to check in with the mild-mannered Dr. Nicholas "Oz" Oseransky (Matthew Perry) and his scary neighbor, Jimmy the Tulip (Bruce Willis). Can you even imagine what shenanigans these two get up to? We'll tell you all about them in our discussion of the 2000 hitman/dental comedy The Whole Nine Yards.  Most of this episode is a fierce argument about whether or not all the Matthew Perrying Matthew Perry does in this movie is good or bad.  Next week: Casablanca (1942)...

Back in one week with our "The Whole Nine Yards" episode

January 19, 2024 11:28 - 1 minute - 1.69 MB

We have to postpone our episode this week because of some ridiculous weather events that basically threw our lives into chaos. Here's what happened: It got cold in Louisiana. No one knew what to do, so they shut down the schools, the roads, everything. Three days at home with the kids, unable to work, or think, or podcast. So we have to push back our schedule and do our episode on The Whole Nine Yards on Friday, January 26; our episode on Casablanca will follow on Friday, February 1, 2024. ...

100. Star Wars

January 12, 2024 12:00 - 2 hours - 175 MB

Once there was a time when Star Wars was just the name of a movie, and not the most toxic subject ever to hit the internet. Well, we yearn for that time, listener... so go with us on this journey back to the Skywalker homestead and get ready to harvest some moisture as we return to the very first movie we ever discussed on the show: Star Wars (1977). Among other things, Matt reiterates for the thousandth time that this movie should only ever be called Star Wars. You may be tempted to call ...

99. Dirty Dancing

January 05, 2024 12:00 - 1 hour - 165 MB

To celebrate finally getting to episodes 99 and 100, we're going back to the very first two movies we covered on Load Bearing Beams and give these two classics the full LBB treatment they deserve. First up, it's Dirty Dancing (1988), one of Laci's favorite movies. It's a charming dancey melodrama with some surprisingly poignant political commentary that is much easier to see in 2024 than it was back in 2017.  Matt gave this movie a big fat thumbs-down on his first viewing for that first ep...

Our very first mailbag!

December 29, 2023 12:07 - 1 hour - 105 MB

Happy New Year, y'all. We're ringing in what promises to be the most cursed year ever with our very first mailbag!   Time stamps:   00:04:40 — What are our new year's resolutions for the podcast and for our movie watching?   00:12:08 — Where's the weirdest place we've made whoopee?   00:12:57 — Which movie or TV show was the biggest waste of our time?   00:19:11 — What was the most surprisingly good movie we've covered on the podcast?   00:22:24 — What movie did someo...

BONUS: Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory (the movie)

December 18, 2023 13:11 - 2 hours - 192 MB

Fine. Fine. No problem at all. We'll talk about the actual movie. Also: Happy holidays! Thank you for a great year! We'd normally have an episode coming out on Friday, Dec. 22, but we're taking a break and shall return on Friday, December 29 with a very special mailbag episode. And after that, we're on to episodes 99 and 100, where we'll revisit the movies covered on our very first episode (Dirty Dancing and Star Wars). It only took us seven years to get to a hundred episodes.   Time s...

98. Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory (1971)

December 15, 2023 11:42 - 39 minutes - 54.1 MB

When Laci wins a Golden Ticket, she invites Matt as her plus-one for her super-secret tour of Willy Wonka's factory... and she's violating her NDA by bringing you along too! Have you ever wanted to know the functional purpose of the Chocolate Room, where everything is edible? Or why the city of Munich seems to have such fanatical attachment to the Wonka Corporation? And what exactly Mr. Wonka is doing behind those walls, and what his products are doing to our libidos? And, uh... If you wan...

97. National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation

December 08, 2023 11:30 - 2 hours - 185 MB

Get out your stapler gun and empty your shitter, because it’s time to look at the holiday classic National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation (1989) in extraordinary detail.  Laci’s seen this film dozens of times, while Matt had only seen it once, decades ago. To prepare, he watched the entire Vacation series, and he has much to say about the merits of the individual Vacation films, despite no one asking him to do this. Plus, we admire Clark Griswold’s aptitude for concealing his boners and Ra...

96. Jingle All the Way

December 01, 2023 11:42 - 1 hour - 164 MB

Matt had Laci watch the “beloved” “family” Christmas-present-hunt movie Jingle All the Way (1996). So… did she have a good time? Listener, she did not. But you’ll have a good time hearing them commiserate about the experience for two hours. Why would a movie cast Arnold Schwarzeneggar to play a normal man? When is it inappropriate to buy a Christmas tree? And wouldn't this movie have been better if the quest for a coveted Turbo Man figure sent Howard (Schwarzeneggar) deep into the seedy Sant...

Back in one week with our "Jingle All The Way" episode

November 24, 2023 11:30 - 1 minute - 1.54 MB

Hey folks! If you hadn't heard, we took this week off (on account of Thanksgiving). We'll be back in one week (Friday, December 1, 2023) with our episode about the Arnold Schwarzenegger family comedy Jingle All the Way, co-starring Future Darth Vader. Thank you so much for supporting our ridiculous show.  Matt's been doing some video reviews of recent movies on our YouTube channel. Check out: The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes - https://youtu.be/C4rMMOPdZ6I The Marvels -...

95. The NeverEnding Story (with Drewbie Doobie’s Movies)

November 16, 2023 11:48 - 1 hour - 136 MB

You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t cure its depression. We discuss this sad fact with our friend Drew (a.k.a. Drewbie Doobie’s Movies, @drewbiedoobiemovie on TikTok) by covering a movie he loved growing up, Wolfgang Petersen’s The NeverEnding Story (1984). Yes, this movie traumatized a generation of children, but to look upon it now is to see into an alternate dimension of unbelievable practical effects and puppetry. Laci, Matt, and Drew have a great conversation gushing over how...

94. The Butterfly Effect (with Cinematic Joshua)

November 10, 2023 11:00 - 1 hour - 164 MB

Friend of the Show Cinematic Joshua (@CinematicJoshua on TikTok) joins us for a rollicking conversation about the cult classic Ashton Kutcher time travel picture The Butterfly Effect (2004).  Laci, Matt, and Joshua discuss the career of Ashton Kutcher, the influence of the Final Destination series on this movie, and the many different time strands this movie juggles, as well as the merits of the conventional Hollywood ending of the theatrical cut and the extremely dark original ending incl...

93. Mannequin

November 03, 2023 10:30 - 1 hour - 136 MB

Man, if you weren't there in the Philadelphia department store scene back in '87, then you just wouldn't get it. Luckily, the movie Mannequin (1987) is here to fill you in: It's a battle of two behemoth stores—the mom-and-pop-owned Prince & Company and the tacky upstart Illustra. At the center of it all is Jonathan Switcher (Andrew McCarthy), a dreamer with a heart of gold who falls in love with a mannequin (Kim Cattrall). Except this mannequin's secretly a real person, inhabited by the spir...

92. Halloween (1978)

October 27, 2023 11:00 - 2 hours - 168 MB

We head back to Haddonfield, Illinois for another encounter with Laurie, Annie, Lynda, Michael, Sheriff Brackett, and that wacky Dr. Loomis. That's right, we're taking another (much longer) look at one of Matt's favorite movies, John Carpenter's Halloween (1978). Untouchable classic this picture may be, but Laci was not a fan back in 2017. Surely time has softened her impenetrable heart... or has it? This film established so many hallmarks of the horror genre that are still used today. But...

91. Addams Family Values

October 20, 2023 10:00 - 1 hour - 149 MB

Have any movie characters ever been more sinister and disgusting than the Addamses? No. But we can't help but love them anyway, gosh darn it. We take a deep dive into the world of the Addams Family, first going through their long history and then talking about Barry Sonnenfeld's Addams Family Values (1993), the sequel to the original Addams Family (1991) that was a financial disappointment but has since become even more beloved.    Time stamps: 00:21 — Our personal history with the Add...

90. Signs

October 13, 2023 12:41 - 2 hours - 192 MB

Is M. Night Shyamalan's Signs (2002) just a bunch of corny rubbish, or is Matt right when he calls it the scariest movie he's ever seen? We made our longest episode ever to figure it out.  He's seen this movie so many times he can recite every minute detail of it. We talk about weird background characters, the newsworthiness of crop circles, the threat level posed by armadillos, the acute stress one goes through preparing one's house for an alien attack, and so much more.  It's the secon...

89. Beetlejuice

October 06, 2023 10:00 - 1 hour - 139 MB

For the first time on our show, we're revisiting a movie we already covered. It's Tim Burton's second feature, 1988's Beetlejuice. Matt didn't like this spooky haunted house classic back in 2017, but does he feel any differently all these years later? And how complicated were stereo instructions, anyway? To answer these questions and many more, we devote about three times as much time talking about the movie as we did the first time around.  Time stamps: 00:01:27 - Why we're doing an epis...

88. Pleasantville

September 29, 2023 10:45 - 1 hour - 110 MB

The fifties, baby. We're taking a look at 1998's Pleasantville, which takes a look at a 1950s America that never was, and always will be. This movie, marketed as a comedy, is actually a pretty serious look at fascism, oppression, and forced conformity, and would it surprise you to hear its message is still relevant today? We thought we were past all of that! Want to watch this episode on YouTube? My friend, we have great news for you. https://youtu.be/zxqnO4vW4CY  And while you're at it,...

87. Romy & Michele's High School Reunion

September 22, 2023 10:00 - 1 hour - 126 MB

The nineties, baby. We're getting into it over Romy & Michele's High School Reunion (1997), which sees Lisa Kudrow and Mira Sorvino as the attractive women version of Beavis and Butt-Head trying to persuade their former high school classmates that they invented Post-Its. But beneath this sweet and pleasant comedy lurks something far more sinister. Is this actually a toxic, co-dependant friendship that's imprisoning both Romy and Michele? Would their lives be better if they actually stayed sp...

86. South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut

September 15, 2023 10:00 - 1 hour - 137 MB

Come on down to our podcast and have yourself a time. Laci and Matt have a long conversation about the 1999 Trey Parker-helmed South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut. We go step by step through the movie and its history, as well as the larger history of the South Park TV series and how our relationships with it have changed over time. It's not easy spinning an animated show off into a big screen movie—you have to appeal to existing fans while bringing in new ones, and tell a story worthy of a ...

A Most Regretful Update

July 22, 2023 01:54 - 52 seconds - 1.2 MB

Hey folks, we planned on having a new episode out today, but the summer is kicking our asses and we are basically punting on the rest of it. Our tentative plan is to resume a new-episode-every-week schedule once school starts and we get more schedule flexibility. So, August 18. Thanks for sticking with us, we've really enjoyed doing the new episodes this year and want to do more of them. 

Back on 7/21/2023 with a new episode

July 15, 2023 01:50 - 58 seconds - 1.33 MB

We're in the midst of our Summer of Calamities but we only have a month or so left of it. So this is an off week for Load Bearing Beams, but we'll be back on Friday, July 21, 2023. It'll be a Matt movie episode, and he's currently choosing between two different late-1990s movies based on popular animated television shows: The Rugrats Movie and South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut. Basically the same movie. Here then is our schedule for the next month: Friday, July 21, 2023 - Episode 86 ...

85. The First Wives Club

July 08, 2023 02:40 - 1 hour - 94.7 MB

Laci and Matt discuss 1996's divorced women picture The First Wives Club, where Diane Keaton, Bette Midler, and Goldie Hawn rekindle their college-era friendship and then something something get back at all of the world's scummy ex-husbands? We're not sure either, but this is a rollicking good time discussing this really funny '90s hit. A lot of time is spent debating how the closing musical number makes each of us feel. Want to watch this episode? Check it out on YouTube: https://youtu.be...

84. Up In The Air

June 30, 2023 09:49 - 58 minutes - 80.8 MB

George Clooney plays Ryan Bingham, a man who just wants to fly around in big jet airliners and accrue miles, but will his heart get in the way?? Find out with us as we discuss Up In the Air (2009), director Jason Reitman's follow-up to his massive hit Juno (2007). This movie packs a lot of stuff in, and we address it all—how it feels to get fired, why Laci hates George Clooney's stupid face, and what's the deal with the food they're serving up there. Want to watch this episode? Head over t...

83. Fried Green Tomatoes

June 23, 2023 10:00 - 1 hour - 92.4 MB

Join us, dear listeners, at the Whistle Stop Cafe, where Idgy, Ninny, Buddy, Grady, Little Buddy, Smokey, Big George and all your best pals are waiting to cook you up a plate of Fried Green Tomatoes (1991), a tale of southern-fried romance and deadly train accidents. In a wide-ranging, free-wheeling, railroad-riding discussion, Laci and Matt unpack this movie and the many questions it raises. Why does Jessica Tandy harass strangers at the nursing home? What about Mary-Louise Parker's pill-...

Back on 6/23/23 with an episode about "Fried Green Tomatoes"

June 16, 2023 10:47 - 4 minutes - 5.6 MB

Hey folks! Load Bearing Beams here with an update for you: We'll be back with a brand-new, full-length episode in one week (June 23, 2023). That episode will be on the film Fried Green Tomatoes (1991), so get ready now by watching it. The schedule through the rest of our season will then be as follows: June 23 — Episode 83: Fried Green Tomatoes (1991) June 30 — Episode 84: Pearl Harbor (2001) July 7 — Episode 85 July 14 — Off-week July 21 — Episode 86 July 28 — Episode 87 Augus...

82. Lake Placid

June 09, 2023 10:10 - 1 hour - 86.4 MB

We unpack Matt's lifelong fear of crocodilians by taking a look at 1999's big budget B-movie spectacular, Lake Placid. Is this schlocky special effects extravaganza just a Jurassic Park ripoff, or a sly commentary on the genre with a brilliant cast (Bridget Fonda, Brendan Gleeson, Oliver Platt, Bill Pullman, and Betty White) operating at the top of their game interacting with a killer croc made by a master of practical creature effects (Stan Winston) and directed by a guy (Steve Miner) who s...

81. Private Parts

June 02, 2023 10:08 - 1 hour - 106 MB

Laci picked the Howard Stern movie Private Parts (1997) for this episode, so we thoroughly discuss this odd but very charming film and try to figure out what it's really trying to say. Laci unpacks her history with Howard Stern, which literally involves her listening to his show in class via large headphones hidden by a hoodie. And Matt goes on a too-long solliloquy about his favorite radio show, the Dan Le Batard Show, and how it parallels Howard Stern's show.   Watch this episode on YouT...

80. The Blair Witch Project / Meet The Parents (with Wade Hymel & Patrick Perot)

May 26, 2023 10:43 - 1 hour - 122 MB

The other members of Matt's band Rural Route Nine join the show for a classic two-movie Load Bearing Beams therapy session. Wade Hymel triumphantly returns to the show to convince the gang of the merits of the 2000 Ben Stiller/Robert DeNiro comedy Meet the Parents, while Patrick Perot presents The Blair Witch Project (1999) for consideration. We discuss the history of found footage horror movies, being fooled into thinking The Blair Witch Project was real back in 1999, whether it's possibl...

79. Grease 2 (also: Grease 1)

May 19, 2023 10:28 - 1 hour - 123 MB

(Do keep in mind that this podcast is rated R for utterly filthy language.) Well hi there, partner. Load Bearing Beams is back for season 2 with a long and free-wheeling discussion of Grease 2 (1982). This famously bad (but maybe it's not so bad?) sequel to the 1978 smash was an enormous flop upon release, but it has built quite a cult following over the years. We break it down, plus talk extensively about the first Grease movie and the different versions of the stage musical that preceded...

78. Loser

May 28, 2021 10:00 - 1 hour - 84 MB

Is this the most forgotten movie we've ever covered? Probably. But if you don't listen to this episode, we'll make fun of you, dweeb. 

77. Wild Wild West

May 14, 2021 09:30 - 1 hour - 85.2 MB

Laci and Matt unpack the movie and music career of Will Smith, the biggest movie star of his generation, and the notorious disaster that is 1999's Wild Wild West. Is this movie really the calamity everyone says it is? Listen to find out. 

76. Mortal Kombat (1995)

April 30, 2021 10:00 - 27 minutes - 38.3 MB

We prepare to enter the tournament that is the 1995 adaptation of Mortal Kombat.  Time stamps: What are our relationship dealbreakers when it comes to both food and movies? [2:04] Is Homer Simpson the most iconic TV character of all time?
