The Rabblecast

After a recent stay in the hospital we had some down time to watch a few different movies! Thank goodness for Netflix!

First on the short list, The Highwaymen an American period crime drama film directed by John Lee Hancock. The film stars Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson as Frank Hamer and Maney Gault, two former Texas Rangers who attempt to track down and apprehend notorious criminals Bonnie and Clyde in the 1930s.

Then we move onto, Uncut Gems an American crime thriller film directed by Josh and Benny Safdie. The film stars Adam Sandler as Howard Ratner, a Jewish jeweler and gambling addict in New York City's Diamond District, who must retrieve an expensive gem he purchased to pay off his debts.

And we also talk about, LOVE DEATH + ROBOTS an American adult animated anthology series.

We are continuing the idea of searching for fun films to watch while we're at home. On this episode we talk about, Extraction starring Chris Hemsworth(some of you may know him as, Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe). Based on a graphic novel from, Ande Parks and written by Ande Parks and the Russo Bros.(Directors of many MCU movies). Directed by, Sam Hargrave. It is currently available on Netflix.

This episode also marks the 14 year anniversary of The Rabblecast!

We're trying to be responsible by following the Stay At Home orders that are currently in place in NJ. What better way to enjoy time at home than to watch movies that we missed out on in 2019? I recently watched Men In Black: International starring, Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson. While it had its moments, it wasn't as fun as the originals.

And then we went onto, Brightburn starring Elizabeth Banks, David Denman, and Jackson Dunn. This movie presents a simple premise. What if Superman turned evil at an early age? We get into it and a whole lot more!

What do you do when you can't go to the movies? What if you could have new releases come straight home to you? That's the main dispute that's going on between AMC Theaters and Universal Pictures after the release of, Trolls World Tour for premium video on demand. Universal Pictures thought it was a good idea to release the film straight into our homes for those sheltering in place. AMC is upset that the studio bypassed the theater release. Where do you land on this dispute?

We also talk about, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Venom.

During this crazy time some of us have been given time to be home. Time with our families, time with our hobbies, or just time by ourselves. What do you do to pass the time?

On this episode, we try to give everyone out there a few suggestions on what to do, what to watch, or just a way to pass the time until we can get back to some sort of a routine.

Have any suggestions? If you want to share some of your stories let us know!

The fifth of six episodes, recorded earlier this year, that had to be delayed due to time constraints. We're almost there. If you have been enjoying this continuous release of shows, thank you for listening!

Blood drives, they're a good cause. You go and donate some blood so hospitals can help those with medical emergencies. Easy enough, right? Well, Doug tells us about his recent trip to donate and the difficulties he ran into.

From there, we drift into our mutual love of movies by talking about the Mahoning Drive-In Theater in Lehighton, PA. The Mahoning is known for running 35mm films and having themed weekends with something everyone. Godzilla-Palooza, Camp Blood, Zombiefest, Action Party Weekend, and many more!

The fourth of six episodes, recorded earlier this year, that had to be delayed due to time constraints. We hope you enjoy the show and thank you for listening.

The music industry has always been an intriguing machine. How do the artist make money when there are so many people to pay? This especially was the question even before peer to peer sharing became a thing. Now, it's streaming music. How do you divide the profits and is it really worth it for the artist?

We also talk about the DC Extended Universe! At the time this episode was recorded we speculated about who would be in the big Arrowverse Crossover, Crisis on Infinite Earths. There were a bunch of rumored cameos and characters. We also talk about canceled shows, Krypton and the spin-off, Lobo. We go over some DC movies, animated shows, and the DC Universe App!

All of this and so much more!

On this episode we talk about the 50th anniversary of Woodstock and some of the stories that have come out over the years. We also talk about Woodstock 1994 and 1999 and some the personal stories tied to them. We hear about some concert stories from Hernandez and his love for KISS.

And we also talk about the passing of very important figure in the world of professional wrestling. Harley Race(aged 76), was an American professional wrestler, promoter, and trainer. Race wrestled in the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), the American Wrestling Association (AWA), the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE), and World Championship Wrestling (WCW).
