The Summer of Sequels sails on, as The Last Row Podcast share their first (and definitely last) experience with Speed 2: Cruise Control. Topics include: Drew’s disrespect of cruise ship propellers, panicked drivers tests, botched wedding proposals, and the guys’ hatred of food crumbs stuck in the keyboard. Finally, Willem Dafoe’s character gets put through the villain scale.
The Summer of Sequelscontinues, as The Last Row Podcast called a Pro down to the Minors to help them break down the 1994 cult classic, Major League II. Ty Hildenbrandt of The Solid Verbal comes in relief to help Drew and Badway make sense of the Cleveland Indians follow-up season to their improbable 1989 playoff run. The guys discuss, among other topics, their nostalgia for the franchise, swapping Omar Epps for Wesley Snipes, Wild Thing’s sellout transformation (and his insane bachelor pad), Randy Quaid as team MVP, and Roger Dorn’s legendary at-bat. Finally, the guys do a fantasy draft of their top 5 fictional baseball players.
Week 2 of The Last Row Podcast’s Summer of Sequels series teaches us that the slickerman doesn’t forgive OR forget in I STILL Know What You Did Last Summer! Drew and Badway discuss keeping your long distance girlfriend happy, how Ben Willis needed to “just get over” the hit and run, the safety of confessing a murder to a priest, and the travesty of how wet Jack Black got his joint.
The Last Row Podcast kicks off its Summer of Sequels series by uncovering the mysteries of National Treasure: Book of Secrets, starring Nicolas Cage. The guys explain why the Gates men can’t hang on to a wife, how to run away from a gunman in the 1800s, using the Book of Secrets as bathroom reading material, and speculate on the pickup artist crew known as “The Treasure Hunters.”
Drew and Badway did not record a new episode this week, but they DID participate in an amazing live stream with Ken Cole and special guest Hayden Schlossberg (Cobra Kai co-creator, writer/filmmaker behind the Harold and Kumar series, American Reunion, and the upcoming Netflix series Obliterated). The guys also map out their future by running through their upcoming Summer of Sequels schedule. Hope you all had a great 4th! We’ll be back with a new episode on Thursday, July 13th!
It is the Prime Directive of The Last Row Podcast to break down one of the most “80s” action movies of all time, 1987’s RoboCop. Drew and Badway discuss the unsafe work environment of OCP, the least exclusive executive bathroom of all time, robots pathetically falling downstairs, and RoboCop’s sad Ford Taurus.
