The Avid Indoorsmen

HOLY SHNIKEYS! Tommy Boy just turned 25 years old and it just so happens to be one of our favorite movies of all time. We thought we should bring someone on who loves this movie as much as we do, so we have one of our closest friends making his AI debut, our good college buddy, Brandon Miller!Before we talk with Brandon we talk about the last movies we’ve seen, what we’re streaming and what we’ve been eating. We really break down this movie and spend the most amount of time we’ve ever spent on our “Show Me The Money” section, quoting almost the entire film. So many laughs are had, especially if you listen to the credits after the theme song. We had a great game of Last Man Stanton and then our Patrons get to hear us draft our Top 5 Favorite Road Trip Films! This episode was too much fun for us and we hope you have fun listening to it!

We feel happpppyyyyyyy! The main reason we are so happy is because we got to talk about Monty Python and the Holy Grail which is celebrating its 45th Anniversary!!!The absurdity is overflowing in this episode with great commentary from Rob’s fellow Home Free band member Tim Foust and some noises from Home Free’s beatboxer, Adam Rupp (you’ll understand what we mean when you listen to the episode).Before we talk to those guys we chat about the last films we’ve seen, what we’ve been streaming on the media platforms and our most recent delicious meals.We break down this film while laughing the whole time. Tim surprised us with his own version of The Imitation Game so Rob could join in on the fun and our Patrons get to hear us draft our Top 5 Favorite Films Featuring the Monty Python Crew.We apologize for the technical difficulties we experienced with this episode, but think we may have made up for it with the complete randomness Adam Rupp came up with. We got through it with minor physical damage, it was really just a flesh wound :)1:19 Honey Boy2:52 The Kitchen5:14 Russian Doll7:24 Broadchurch8:52 Buegs’ Favorite Meal9:37 Mr. Wong https://merivale.com/venues/mrwong11:48 Plugarooni’s 12:39 patreon.com/theavidindoorsmen13:48 Glitch Announcement14:20 @TimFoustMusic and kind of @AdamHFBeatbox15:23 Monty Python and the Holy Grail Plot Synopsis15:50 Rotten Tomatoes16:49 Bruce Newman of the San Jose Mercury News18:02 Good Review19:04 Buegs’ Hot Take20:30 Rob’s Hot Take22:13 Tim’s Hot Take23:53 Adam’s Hot Take26:17 The Dude Award29:15 The Tucci Award31:58 The Dingus38:52 Show Me The Money48:24 Buegs’ Boo Hoo Moments48:45 Movie Trivia57:35 Judgement Day58:28 The Imitation Game1:19:49 Top 5 Films Featuring Monty Python Members

“Welcome to Hollywood. What’s Yo Dream?!” Our dream is to talk about the Rom-Com Classic, Pretty Woman, which is celebrating it’s 30th Anniversary this year! One thing you’re going to notice is that we have released this out of the order we had planned due to technical difficulties we may or may not reveal at a later date. However, it’s still soooooo much fun!We start off the pod chatting about the last movies we’ve seen, what we’ve been streaming and our most delicious meals/things that feed our soul.On this episode we have Chris Rupp making his AI debut! As most of you know Chris is the founder of Home Free and is doing many other projects including 7th Ave Band and his own solo music. He has some ties to the song Pretty Woman which is mentioned in the pod and one of the reasons we brought him on!Chris is so much fun on this episode and our Patrons even got to watch us play our game and pick our draft which was our Top 5 Movies Named After Songs. Big thanks to Chris for making that happen. We think you’re really going to enjoy this one. You’re definitely going to want to listen to it. If you don’t it’ll be a big mistake.

It is the 20th anniversary of the cult classic, High Fidelity, and it just happens to be one of Rob’s favorite movies. We had to get one of Rob’s lifelong friends to come onto the pod, making his AI debut: Timmy St Sauver! Before we chat with Timmy we discuss the latest movies we’ve seen, what we’re streaming and the best meals we’ve had recently. Breaking down this film was too much fun! Timmy brought some great takes and we end up quoting half the movie. We got a little chatty in this one because we were having such a good time. We end with a very impressive movie game and our Patrons get to hear us draft our Top 5 Favorite Films That Break The Fourth Wall. Hope you all enjoy this episode, I know we did.

We found ourselves to be thoroughly entertained while recording this episode of GLADIATOR!We start off chatting about the last movies we’ve seen, what we’ve been streaming and our most delicious meals we’ve consumed most recently.There was a big snowstorm in the Twin Cities and Rob’s family was dealing with the flu, so we recorded this from the comfort of our own homes separately. This was a first for us, but we still had such a good time breaking down this Best Picture winner from 2000. We both were shocked this film is celebrating it’s 20th anniversary and felt like it deserved to have its very own episode.We end this episode with a fun game we’ve never played before called Build-A-Title. This was taken from the Doug Loves Movies podcast, like so many of of our favorite games we play.

Booksmart was one of the best films of 2019 and Rotten Tomatoes even gave it one of their Golden Tomatoes for Best Comedy. That seemed more than reason enough to do an episode on it and we thought it would be fun to bring back our good friend, Beth Swartz!Before we got chatting with Beth about this hilarious film, we discussed the last movies we’ve seen, what we’ve been streaming and the favorite things we’ve been eating.We had a blast breaking down this fun, coming of age comedy and spent a lot of time discussing our favorite scenes and ended up quoting most of the movie. We ended the episode with a super entertaining Imitation Game and our Patrons get to hear us pick our Top 10 Favorite Directorial Debuts, which ended up being really hard because there were so many to choose from!If you haven’t seen Booksmart yet we highly recommend you check it out and then listen to our AMAZING takes!Enjoy!1:13 The Two Popes2:28 19176:48 Fleabag8:51 The Spy10:19 Lai Wah https://www.laiwahmn.com/10:50 Mickey’s Diner http://www.mickeysdiningcar.com/13:00 Plugs13:51 www.patreon.com/theavidindoorsmen 15:51 @bethany__kim at Compass Records www.compassrecords.com17:30 Booksmart Plot Synopsis18:44 Rotten Tomatoes19:36 Richard Brody from The New Yorker20:17 Katie Rife from The AV Club21:21 Buegs’ Hot Take24:10 Rob’s Hot Take26:55 Beth’s Hot Take28:55 The Dude Award32:22 The Tucci Award39:26 The Dingus52:30 Show Me The Money1:01:51 Buegs’ Boo Hoo Moments1:04:41 Movie Trivia1:08:55 Judgement Day1:09:18 The Imitation Game1:24:26 Top 10 Best Directorial Debut

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! We are now in a new decade, the 2020s!!! But let us not forget the amazingness that was the 2010s. There were some INCREDIBLE films made during that 10 year span and we decided to narrow down the best 10 films of that decade. This was no easy task and we both felt a little insecure about our lists, but between both of our selections we feel that we represented the best films of the 2010s. You’ll have to excuse our saltiness in the very beginning, we had something happen that had never happened to us in a year of recording these podcasts! Stick with it though because it gets much better as the episode goes on. Our Patrons get to hear who we think won the 2010s in 5 different categories:Best ActressBest ActorBest Supporting ActorBest Supporting ActressBest DirectorWe hope you all had a wonderful time ending 2019.
