FH Mini 5 – More Time with Griffin
Griffin Newman came back (for reals, not one of these “we actually recorded it at the same time”) to chat for a bit about Watto, Star Wars in general, his career, and, of course, Tom Selleck.

First off, how are you guys? Everyone doing okay? We hope so. Take care of yourselves. Secondly, my lord were we excited to have Griffin Newman, of many, many things, including the Blank Check podcast and Amazon’s The Tick, but MOST IMPORTANTLY, the world’s #1 Vin Diesel fan, join the show to discuss Vin’s latest vinsanity, Bloodshot. Meanwhile Elliott takes us on a tour through the 4th most popular comics publisher of the 90’s, Griffin offers a unified Diesel theory, and Stu and Dan do some bullshit, we’re sure, but, honestly, that’s really the most important stuff, because those two lovable scamps can talk up a storm!
Elliott gives us a preview of his son Sammy’s novel, and then things take a turn.
In our first episode recorded after shit got real, we take a change of pace, and discuss your aunt’s favorite movie, Book Club. Can a cast of wonderful old pros elevate the world’s most banal script? Meanwhile, Elliott presents his Golden Girls hypothesis, Dan’s a huge crybaby, and Stu bravely soldiers on, through his COVID-19.
OH WHAT AN EPISODE. We’re joined by screenwriter and Switchblade Sisters host, April Wolfe, to discuss Wolverine himself, Glenn Danzig’s directorial debut, Verotika — an anthology of “sexy” (?) horror tales. And this time we even managed to give April a working microphone!
Is Holmes & Watson somehow an even worse version of the Sherlock Holmes stories than Sherlock Gnomes? Will Elliott and Stu be able to console Dan about the latest insult to his beloved hero? Join us for this live show, taped last year in Portland, Oregon, to find out!
In this minisode we take on the topic of teams of specialists, like you might find in heist films.
We’ve been wanting to tackle this one for quite a while, folks, and… oof. Be careful what you wish for. Adal Rifai of the podcast “Hello From the Magic Tavern” joins us to discuss The Fanatic, the movie that asks “What if Fred Durst directed a movie starring a career-self-destructing John Travolta as a man with a developmental disability, with his trademark Limp Bizkit sensitivity?” Meanwhile, Stuart invents the newest horror movie killer, Elliott attacks Dan for his nonexistent position on backstory, and Dan misses Leggs.
