S3E02 Error 404: Missing link

S3E02 Error 404: Missing Link - This week the Chop Shop crew gets prehistoric then adapts with a discussion of "Evolution Movies" on the 93rd anniversary of the so called "Scopes Monkey Trial". Special guest Prof. T. Knowles adds scientific legitimacy to the conversation. We discuss 2009's "Creation", a Darwinian family portrait, then the iconic "Inherit The Wind" from 1960. Of course we did the regular segulars including: The D.O.C.D., the Midnight Dbl. Feature, Energy Drink and Beer check-ins, #2018MovieMarathon etc.

S3E01 Covering Our Bases

S3E01: "Covering our Bases". Baseball season is in full swing and the Chop Shop team (along w/ guest form beyond Harry Caray) is sliding in to home on this week's episode. In honor and celebration of America's pastime, as well as the upcoming MLB All-Star game, we're talking Baseball and the films thereof. Bases are stolen, bats are broken, and cups are adjusted in this one folks. First up to the plate is "Bang the Drum Slowly" with Robert Di Niro from 1973. Then on-deck we've got the Robert Redford classic "The Natural" from 1984. Buy me some peanuts and crackerjacks because you can also expect regular segments like The Midnight Double Feature, #2018MovieMarathon, Energy Drink and Beer check-ins etc. Enjoy!
