In this special episode Pete and Brad focus on movies. We start with the Jackie Robinson biopic 42. Guess what? Jackie Robinson day is this Thursday! We are so on top of things. But this movie is also special to Pete because of the connections it provides Pete to his dad. In fact, our intro and outro music has been changed this week to classics by none other than Mervyn Peterson, Pete's dad. Pete's memories and descriptions just may bring a tear to your eye. 

We then transition to Brad's choice, The Way Way Back. This movie is a gem and Sam Rockwell's performance (as always) is magnificent. It may not be as emotional as Pete's choice, but Brad's thoughts on this movie run deep. You're going to want to watch it if you haven't already seen it. We also discuss Harrison Ford movies and Sam Rockwell movies. We've got all the bases covered.
