Sen Us Your Thoughts!

From regular SNL short sketches to Super Bowl ad to feature film, MACGRUBER is the dumb aka authentically funny parody of MACGYVER that flopped on arrival but quickly accumulated a cult following and increased recognition with home viewings.

Two of those fans are yours truly - having watched MacGruber when Netflix was still shipping phsyical DVDs to my mailbox - and our special guest this episode JON STAHL, writer on the TV show VEEP and Fox's HOUSEBROKEN.

You can currently find Jon at his Substack: How Not to be a TV Writer

And be sure to watch his YouTube WebSeries: CASEN POINTE: TRUE CRIME DETTECTIVE

Also Jon's 4-Part micro-series UPSTAGE

ANIKI-BOBO is the 1942 debut feature of Manoel de Oliveira, who was the oldest still-active filmmaker on the day he died at the age of 106 (!) in 2014!!!

I just took my first trip to Portugal, and to celebrate, we had to watch our very first Portuguese movie, which is also pretty close to being the first narrative Portuguese feature film of note in the country’s history.

This episode of Vintertainment is dedicated to Brad Allan, the stuntman and eventual action choreographer man who helped usher in Rush Hour, plays the most likeable antagonist ever in Gorgeous, designed the action for Scott Pilgrim, Shang-Chi, Kick-Ass, Wonder Woman, the Kingsman franchise, and more. Brad passed away in 2021 at the age of 48, from a sudden and unexpected heart attack. His charisma, talent, passion, and genuineness are all horribly missed.

And his action sequences with Jackie in this movie are unforgettable.

The year was 19 ***ing 64...

Today we tackle Hollywood's first big budget attempt to cover the Civil Rights movement and one of the darkest events surrounding it. Its a great conversation.

We veer from wanting wines of Tention, then Violence, then Hope. Also a wine that Challenges and forces Contemplation.
