In this special episode, Andrew gets to sit down with Chris Barsanti, author of "What Would Keanu Do?" to discuss the creation of the book, some of the best Keanu stories, and Chris makes a very compelling case for an unexpected Keanu character sequel that will make some of you VERY happy. Special shoutout to Emily McBride of Media Lab Books for the promotional copies as well as helping to set up the interview!

Welcome to The Kurt Locker. Each week, we’ll step through the films of Kurt Russell, starting with his early work in live-action Disney films and moving all the way to present day.

Kurt Russell is the kind of actor that can, and has done it all. Whether you know him as a cowboy, the coach who can deliver one hell of a motivational speech, a psychopath race-car driver, a regular guy, an ex-soldier who you thought was dead, or even Santa Claus himself, Kurt has proven himself as a powerhouse actor for over 5 decades. 

To really take in the full breadth of his work, we’re watching and reviewing each feature film he’s starred in and bringing some great guests along for the ride including many well-regarded writers and critics. Subscribe now wherever you get your podcasts, episodes coming this winter.

...And just like that, your heroes have arrived at the end of this wonderful journey. Join Whitney, Evan, and Andrew as they face the proverbial music as well and talk about a most-excellent capstone to the podcast. This is truly a very special episode for us and we hope you've enjoyed the ride as much as we have. We're going out with a bang on this one. Let's rock!

Andrew rejects your premise that this is "like an SNL movie", Whitney talks about her appreciation of celebrities who can lean into the bit, and both of them discuss why Will Ferrell can play the character of the cokehead CEO of Funny of Die, but Zach Galifianakis certainly could not!

Why do we mention NPR, Ilana Glazer, and drag queens on this episode? You'll have to listen! Topics covered also include: why Whitney decided to grow food over this summer, what the most sustainable and cost-effective source of meat would be in the apocalypse, and we learn that Charles doesn't even understand the concept of temperature.

In this episode we go off on a tangent about Mad Max Fury Road, Andrew gets to utter the greatest sentence that perhaps exists on the whole of Wikipedia, a new Pop Quiz Asshole record is set, and we also explain why Forky is potentially the most relatable character Pixar has maybe ever created. Bonus: Whitney's Thoughts and Feelings™ on John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum!

Is it possible that the architectural layout of The Continental is an intentional metaphor for the plot of this film? Maybe! Our very special guest and fellow Keanu Reeves Historian Angelica Jade Bastién joins us to discuss the importance of editing, one key difference that makes old movies better than new movies, and then proceeds to absolutely destroy Erich and Andrew during Pop Quiz, Asshole.

As our guest so eloquently points out: our main problems with Replicas revolve around us thinking that it's a movie rather than an unholy amalgamation. Turns out Replicas is roughly nine great ideas all with their own thoughts, feelings, motivations, and darn good questions. The problem this leaves is: can all nine movies have meaningful resolution in under 2 hours? Special guest Aja Romano returns to help us figure it out!

One of our most-anticipated episodes AND films just happens to have one of the shortest episode run-times. Very curious, indeed. Come listen to what Whitney and Andrew ultimately end up thinking about this tale of two miserable, cynical people snarking during every waking moment!
