Play

(51.) CADDYSHACK w/ Pat Oates

the episode starts with an apology from me for blowing the february recording. it was called The Black Lebowski and shawn recast ving rhames as john goodman's character and i said that pick was perfect because we've already seen what happens when a stranger f_cks him in the ass. everyone laughed and carried me on their shoulders. this one is caddyshack with pat oates.

Shawn and Dan are away this week, working with Mariah Carey on the set of GLITTER 2D, so I'm fantasy drafting ROCKY III with Pat Oates and Dan Brown. This was one of the 7 movies guest Dan has seen, and it's got a wrestler in it, which makes it a perfect movie for Pat.

Play

(43.) DIED AND GONE BOWLIN' w/ Matt Heath

On this week's episode instead of a movie, we chose to revisit one of the greatest comedy specials of all time. A forgotten gem, Matt Heath's DIED AND GONE BOWLIN' stands out as one of the most influential and experimental works of the eighties, and to be honest, ever.

Play

Play

(36.) CASABLANCA w/ no guest

On this week's episode we fantasy casted Dylan McKay's favorite film, CASABLANCA. The D-Man has real good taste too for a fictional high school student.

Tweet us a better name for that segment @fantasyfilmball Hosted by Shawn Murray, Stosh Mikita & Dan Rice

this weekend was Dan Rice's wedding so we couldn't record, but we had the first episode we tried to record with the zoom. it's a little echoey and Shawn's tinny, but through the magic of youtube tutorials i managed to take something completely unintelligible and make it somewhat listenable. tweet us who you would recast as Dan Rice in his wedding.

Play

(33.) FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING w/ Dame FK

this week Shawn Murray was camping on Woke Bae Island so we got his best friend Dame FK to come draft LOTR: FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING with us. it was real hot in the studio and we were delirious from sweat. that's the official joke for any problematic jokes you may not like.

Hosted by Shawn Murray, Stosh Mikita & Dan Rice

On this week's episode our guests were comedian Dan Kalwhite and fun-loving party boy Mike Nunes. Stosh chose to fantasy draft 1993's extreme sports classic, AIRBORNE. Dan and Mike are the only other fans of the movie in existence, which probably means not many people will listen to this episode. You should listen, though, because it's super fun. There's even a couple of hacky Mr. Miyagi…

(18.) ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK w/ Steven Christina Jr.

On this week's episode we have on Steven Christina Jr. the host of Super Retro Throwback reviews. Steven picked ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK, a move neither of the movie boys had seen before.

Everyone had good picks, which…

(16.) HANCOCK w/ Dan Rice

This week we had Dan Rice on and we tried to clean up the Peter Berg mess "Hancock." This movie stinks, but in theory it had the potential to be great. We put that theory to the test. Even if you hate this movie, don't worry; so do we. Hosted by Shawn Murray & Stosh Mikita

(15.) KILL BILL VOL. 1 w/ Kendra Dawsey

Episode 15 finds the Duke Boys fantasy drafting against New Haven-based comedian slash Yale alumni slash fun hang Kendra Dawsey. Kendra picked Kill Bill volume 1, which may be the best guest pick yet.
