This week, Buddy, Jeff, & Chad review the movie that restarted it all, the film to kick off the second western film cycle, the 1985 homage to all that is a western: Silverado. Directed and co-written by Lawrence Kasdan, with a score by Bruce Broughton, and a list of stars that no one could afford to put in the same movie nowadays: Kevin Kline, Scott Glenn, Kevin Costner, Danny Glover, John Cleese, Rosanna Arquette, Brian Dennehy, Linda Hunt, Jeff Goldblum, Lynn Whitfield, Jeff Fahey (in his first film role), and Earl Hindman of "Home Improvement" fame! The film is currently available online on Amazon Prime. And finally, the trio discuss what it's like to work in a music store, as they unveil their picks for workplace comedies for episodes 8 and 9!
Buddy (a Film Geek), Jeff (also a Film Geek), and Chad (a Film Geek-In-Training) decided that it was high time they paid attention to one of the most American film genres of them all: The western. The first film (of two) for Episode 5 is 1960's "The Magnificent Seven," adapted from Akira Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai," and starring some of the best talent from the 1960s, Yul Brynner, Eli Wallach, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, Robert Vaughn, and James Coburn! The film is currently available online on Amazon Prime.

Buddy and Jeff, film geeks extraordinaire, help open the eyes of geek-in-training Chad, by exploring two of the most gangster-y of gangster films: 1972's The Godfather and 1990's Goodfellas!

Jeff and Chad talk about their plans to attend the upcoming Podcast Movement conference in Chicago, then the trio discuss what's ahead for Episodes 4 and 5!
