Submit ReviewAlex Vigos joins us again to help us close out the story of the Wonders in our final regular episode! We spend most of our time this episode talking about what is probably the most important element of this movie, the music, and get into the career of Howard Shore who composed the score of this film. Also, we finally solve the mystery of the puppet show we see early in the movie, Fireball XL5, and we have a few tangents for your listening pleasure, including a breakdown of the career of Vincent D'Onofrio. We'd like to thank Papa Hanks first and foremost for creating this wonderful film, as well as all of our amazing guests that joined us over the course of the show, Scott Carelli, July Diaz, Gabe Danon, Desiree and Michael, Crystal Beth, Lynn Barron, Heidi Bennett, Nick Jimenez, and our returning guests, Pops Branham and Alex! Thank you all for listening and goodbye - for now - from Sommer and Nick of That Thing You Do… Minute!
We are joined by a surprise returning guest today, Alex Vigos, Sommer's old chum from back in the day! Alex is here to help us break down the closing credits as we take stock of all the various bits of trivia we've learned over the course of the show. We shout out some of our favorite actors, try and discern what some of the job titles of various production staff mean, and discover that the choreographer on this film is a one hit wonder herself. Make sure you tune in tomorrow for the final (regular) episode of That Thing You Do! Minute! We have announcements and tearful goodbyes for you, our amazing listeners without whom none of this would be possible.
The show is winding down and I bet you thought that meant that the show lengths would be winding down as well. Boy were you wrong. In what will likely be the second longest episode of the show, we dive deep into the end title cards and try and contextualize what happens to our friends after the cameras are turned off. We learn the origins of the Puget Sound conservatory, educate ourselves about the history of the Battle of Khe Sanh, and then we try and lighten the mood by coming up with the backstory of why the relationship between Lenny and Kitty didn't work out. The show is winding down but we're determined to go out with a bang instead of a whimper.
We're two days into our final week and we've already gone off the rails before we even reach the credits. This episode starts with a tangent about who’s the best Tom, before we get into this episode's starts and ends with, then we talk about what Lamarr is up to now that the Ambassador hotel is no more, sing this awesome 90's romantic music, and try and discern what Mr. White is up to now that he has left the Wonders behind. There's a heated discussion about which is worse, emotional or physical cheating which leads to our first curse word uttered by one of our hosts and we try and figure out what happens when Guy and Faye go back to the hotel room. There's so much more including talk about American landmarks and fourth wall breaking so strap yourself in for a marathon episode, we may have gone a little overboard with the final episode of the film portion of the podcast.
Welcome to the final full week of That Thing You Do! Minute! We're back to the classic duo for our final week and we have a lot of making out to cover in the next couple of minutes. There will be lots of tangents to be had as we try and close out the week in the only way we know how, by being extra silly and bringing the laughs. We'll analyze Guy and Faye's make out style, scrutinize their eyebrows, and generally create a world of backstory for these characters in-between moments of silliness and many, many tangents. We discuss olestra chips, free Subway sandwiches, bodily fluids, and emo-pirates. We're getting close to the end, but that doesn't mean we're going to short change you, our beautiful audience, from getting the full TTYD Minute experience.
Mr. Movies by Minutes, Nick Jimenez, joins us for the final time to break down our centennial episode. We thought about doing something special for the occasion but instead we jump off the rails almost immediately with talk of emojis and pea coats. We had a little trouble hearing each other early in this episode but the service providers eventually smiled upon us and blessed us with an improved connection to finish out the week in style. We'd like to extend a huge thank you to Nick for being the final regular guest on That Thing You Do!

Happy Thor's-day everyone, everybody's favorite Movies By Minutes funnyman Nick Jimenez is back to plant a big ol' kiss on the cheeks of you, the listener. We digress about movies that have turned us into blubbering crybabies and praise Adam Sandler's acting talent. Seriously. Eventually we get to talking about these platonic friends at the Ambassador hotel coffee shop and speculate as to why Tom Hanks seems to be obsessed with kissing in this movie before we follow a tangent off into the weeds as we find some praise for Mel Gibson. Seriously. This was apparently the day for praising controversial figures.

Our new friend Nick Jimenez joins us once again as we discover a somber Faye sitting in a coffee show. We discuss the family legacy of our female lead which leads us down our first (and probably last) Alicia Silverstone tangent, which we are somehow able to tie into talking about Kirk Cameron and the tale of the banana. This minute also marks the final moments of our extended cut coverage, as we tie up loose ends that probably didn't need to be tied up in the first place. We throw some more shade at Armageddon and give our recommendations for the worst film commentaries that you have to see to believe before we get out of here and get you back to your Wednesday in style. DuelingGenre.com is the place to go if you want to catch up on Nick's antics, where he helps produce a slew of Movies By Minutes shows including Ferris Bueller Minute, Harry Potter Minute and Lord of the Rings Minute, as well as the fantastic audio drama series, Geek By Night created by past guest, Scott Carelli, so check those out if you know what's good for you.
Nick Jimenez joins us once again to workshop band names for his upcoming project, Cornetto Minute, and help us break down the penultimate chunk of Tom Hanks' Extended Cut minutes. We make some dreamy looks at one another as we try and suss out which career path has the most potential to keep Guy high on drugs for the foreseeable future, discuss Clint Howard's choice of pizza, and give Nick tips on having your dad guest on your podcast. But seriously, there's actually some good analysis of the differences between the theatrical and extended cuts in this episode, so enjoy us finally finding our footing after ninety-six episodes. Be sure you remember to follow Nick on twitter @nickmjimenez and go interact with all his wonderful podcasts, @DuelingGenre, @bttfminute, and @cornettominute, you can find all those wonderful shows and many more at DuelingGenre.com!
We are joined this week by Nick Jimenez from DuelingGenre.com and life as we park ourselves outside the bro-zone with Guy and Del. The Spartacus jam begins with us trying to discover our mentor-crushes, and the conversation takes a few twists and turns until we get to one of the greatest or most depressing stories in the history of podcasting. I'm only being slightly hyperbolic with that statement. You should check out Nick's podcast's at the aforementioned DuelingGenre.com, where he hosts, stars in, and produces a slew of shows such as The Doctors Companion, Geek By Night, Spider-Man Minute, and the recently completed Back To The Future Minute.
