First Time Ever with Norm Sousa

Norm and Andy live in different places now but a few weeks ago we got together with comedian Dave Martin and watched the Robin Williams cross dressing comedy Mrs. Doubtfire! 

Second City Toronto's Ashley Botting has never seen the Martin Scorsese MASTERPIECE Goodfellas. Norm and Andy fix that immediately. The trio talk about how amazing Robert De Niro is and what their gangster names would be, as well as their ideal witness-relocation-locations.

Our guest this week is the hilarious Nigel Downer, (Second City, Fool Canada) who has never seen the 2007 found-footage horror Paranormal Activity. Norm, Andy and Nigel get spooked super hard and tell ghost stories.

This week's guest is our old pal Matt Watts (The Newsroom, Michael: Tuesdays Thursdays). Matt has never seen the Ice Cube/Chris Tucker "Hood Comedy" Friday so we fix that right away. Andy, Norm and Matt talk about how you used to be able to make movies where nothing happened in them.

This week's guest is Food Network Canada star John Catucci! John had somehow never seen the Guy Ritchie Brit-Crime classic Snatch. The guys talk about what role they'd take on in a heist and if a Brad Pitt mumbles it he still a good Brad Pitt?

We also have repeat guests Glenn Macaulay, Sarah Hillier and Gary Rideout Jr. We talk about 1950's basketball coaching and how effective the "granny shot" really is.

This week Andy and Norm are joined by their longtime pal and owner of Comedy Bar in Toronto, Gary Rideout Jr. The trio of rude dudes watches the classic rockumentary This is Spinal Tap. The guys talk about being in a band and improvising in a feature film. This podcast goes to 11.

This episode Norm and Andy watch the Roddy Piper cult classic They Live with Ryan Belleville! (Almost Heroes, Satisfaction) The guys talk conspiracies and the most ridiculous fight scene you've ever seen in your life.Also, we have a LIVE show coming up, this Sunday June 7th at 9pm at Bad Dog Theatre in Toronto. If you're in town come by, its a free show! We're watching Hoosiers with a bunch of great guests!

This week we have a familiar face on the podcast to watch Slap Shot for the first time ever: Our boy Zubes! Andrew Zuber has never seen the Paul Newman hockey classic so we fix that right away. The guys talk about old time hockey and old time movie making.

This week the guys invite the very funny writer/actor Kurt Smeaton to watch Good Will Hunting for the first time ever. The guys really fall in love with Minnie Driver and talk about what they would do if they were geniuses.

This week Norm and Andy are joined by Fraser Young (Video on Trial) to watch Disney's The Lion King for the first time ever. The guys definitively rank the cartoon cats once and for all.

We're back after a decent break with our pal, Kayla Lorette (That's So Weird, The Second City Project) who has never seen the James Cameron blockbuster True Lies! In this one, Norm, Andy and Kayla talk about being a spy and what they did or didn't like about Tom Arnold.

This week is Andy's last week in Los Angeles! To commemorate this historic event he and Norm sit down with comedian Brian Barlow (aka The Dick Mime, Poppa Proppa) and they watch The Neverending Story for the first time ever! The guys talk about luck and dragons.

This week Norm and Andy, on the 25th anniversary of it's release, watch Pretty Woman with comedian Will Weldon. The guys talk about hookers and rich people. Just a classic podcast really.
