Revenge is on The Last Row Podcast’s mind during a downright giddy discussion of The Karate Kid Part III (:The Ballad of Terry Silver). We discover why Silver tips over the villain scale with his diabolical revenge plot, nuclear waste disposal company, humble clothing, informative leg-sweeping textbooks, and his Daniel-san approved Toyota pickup truck. Other hot issues include: the anti-Batman, grand theft Bonsai, emergency plant surgeries, and that one time Daniel-san spooked a girl and got friend-zoned because his only buddy is an odd 70-year-old Japanese man. Additionally, Drew and Badway place values on movie props and engage in a True or False “making of” trivia game.
Why hasn’t Badway seen The Godfather movies yet? Did Drew cry at the end of The Dark Knight Rises?

Love is in the air, as The Last Row Podcast takes the nerd glasses off of She’s All That to reveal its true beauty. No topic is off limits, as Drew and Badway discuss old men playing teenagers, high school DJs, Taylor Vaughan’s bout with PBF (permanent bitch face), and a greased up Paul Walker wrestling Freddie Prinze Jr. in the locker room. The guys also go a bit off the rails to discuss the taboos of step-sibling marriage, revisit MTV’s Real World and Spring Break glory days, review a movie that doesn’t exist: 10 Things I Hate About Losing A Guy, and come full circle to pull a ‘She’s All That’ on She’s All That by turning the laughable teen comedy into an Oscar baiting tour de force.
In honor of Super Bowl XLIX weekend, The Last Row Podcast studies the game tape of the 1994 gem, Little Giants.

Badway details his full scouting report on hotshot QB, Junior Floyd, while Drew questions O’Shea’s dream crushing, niece brainwashing coaching tactics. Finally, the guys debut their new game, “Last Row Lines.”
