Episode 33: Source Code

 

What would you do if you only had 8 minutes left to live? Well, hopefully you would speed through the latest episode of Nightcaps at the Theater. Tonight, our first guest is friend of the podcast: Alexander Portera. After some conversations on talking Pikachu, and finally putting this Aquaman beef to rest, it’s off to 2011’s Source Code.

In this sci fi thriller, racing down the tracks and through time itself is a mad breakneck dash to avoid a fiery fate. Strap in, and Pay Attention!  Who’s the prime suspect? The adult man in a Star Wars Shirt? The woman who keeps spilling coffee…on purpose?!? The failed comedian? It could be anyone, but one thing is for sure … its going to be a long 8 minutes.

Episode 31: Uncle Buck

 

Hide your best “unbreakable” china, and pray that your washing machine is in working order. Mommy and Daddy are out of town and the only thing they left for us to watch was John Hughes’s 1989 comedy Uncle Buck. Imagine getting up to record the podcast only to find stack of gargantuan pancakes, and our underwear freshly pressed, straight from the microwave? Who could have done this? John Candy…really?  He may be a bit of a slob, and his car may be just be a death trap, and he may threaten to dismember our boyfriends with a hatchet…but he really doesn’t seem like that bad of a guardian. Will we each survive this surreal week at the Russell house, while keeping our kneecaps intact? You’ll have to tune into Nightcaps at Theater to find out.
