Author and host of Max Fun’s very own Feeling Seen podcast, Jordan Crucchiola, joins us to talk about Georgia Rule, the film she claims has the largest discrepancy between what the viewer expects the movie to be and what it actually is.

In what has become a mini-tradition, we kick off the new year with an examination of last year’s biggest musical flop. Unfortunately this one has a lot fewer cats and a lot more lying to a grieving family, and it’s called Dear Evan Hansen. Joining us for the discussion is noted bar owner, Stuart wife, and DEH-on-Broadway-hater, Sharlene Wellington!

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate! Here’s our gift to you — a mini recorded LIVE from another special occasion: Elliott’s birthday weekend!

Is it Cagemas already? Seems like it comes earlier every year. At any rate, Saint Nicolas Cage has left us something awfully spicy beneath the tree this year. It’s a giant slice of deep-fried southern ham, with big performances from Cage, KaDee Strickland, and Money Plane’s Kelsey Grammer. Dare you join us for a visit to Grand Isle?

What will happen?!? Give a listen and see!

The jolly bearded man himself, Alonso Duralde, writer of Have Yourself a Movie Little Christmas and co-host of Max Fun’s own Maximum Film, as well as many, many other things, joins us to talk about the LEGENDARILY strange 1985 would-be Christmas blockbuster Santa Claus: The Movie, along with the usual shenanigans.

(If you want to listen to the latter, consider becoming a MaxFun member!) This adventure is kind of like those, except what if our characters were cartoon dogs?

Hey, remember Crocodile Dundee? Remember him? Croc? Ol’ Mick Dundee? Remember? Crocodile? Crocky D? Anyone? Well, The Very Excellent Mr. Dundee is about how no one remembers Crocodile Dundee star Paul Hogan, and he’s also somehow the most important star in Hollywood. Take this strange journey with us, and with our delightful guest Ben Harrison, of The Greatest Generation.
