We loved watching "Waco" around 47 years ago (episode 9 of this silly podcast), so when we saw that in 2023 "Waco: The Aftermath" would be hitting out screens, we all thanked the Leguizamo Gods for looking down on us and saying "Ok, you pair of weirdos.

January 24, 2024 20:00 - 41 minutes - 94.8 MBTo celebrate the commencement of 2024, we thought we'd watch a YouTube clip from the mid 90s and dedicate an entire podcast episode to it.

We know for a fan that Kyle Chandler is dodgy - we're assuming it's drug related. Velma from Scooby Doo is acting very suspicious, but to be fair... so is everyone. Sissy Spacek is accused of killing Danny but that's probably not a literal thing. Who is Kevin? John Leguizamo is in full menace-mode. He knows something about Kyle Chandler and ends up getting basked by Kyle because of whatever it...

The guy who was dealing the drugs has gotten out of trouble because Velma from Scooby Doo is a lawyer. The emo kid is probably Ben Mendelsohn's son. Sissy Spacek is still dealing w...

In this video, John breaks down his most iconic roles and also discusses his role in "The Power." As this was released in 2023, it's hard to tell if his role in "The Power" will actually be iconic, so we're assuming he mentioned it in order to promote it. We learnt heaps of fun facts about Johnny Legz in this video! We also talk about Warm Milk Movies. John plays...
148. The Survivor (2021) with Jordan Barr

'Nancy' is a 2018 drama film directed by Christina Choe, starring Andrea Riseborough and featuring John Leguizamo and Steve Buschemi - a delicious character actor pair-up, we reckon. Neither John or Steve are ever in the same scene together in this film, but knowing that they are both there fills us with an electric joy...
143. Meadowland (2015)
June 15, 2023 23:54 - 55 minutes - 126 MBMeadowland is a 2015 drama about the saddest shit imaginable. It's beautiful, but it's heavy as.

Cymbeline is a Shakespearean tragedy (or is it!?) about a powerful man named Cymbeline who hates his daughter's boyfriend so much that he decides that he wants to kill him. He would prefer it if his daughter married her step brother. Full on shit ha...
