This week, we watched another episode of Netflix's Bloodline - Season 2, Episode 7 for those of you who are invested in that sort of thing. Coach was meaner than expected and his wife is now really suss on him. John Leguizamo is mad about being bashed up. Velma is still being a sneaky lawyer. We are, however, 99% sure that coach killed his brother. WHAT A TWIST... unless we're wrong, obviously. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information....
Bloodline-arama continues this week as we chat about Season 2, Episode 6 or Netflix's Bloodline. We know for a fan that Kyle Chandler is dodgy - we're assuming it's drug related. Velma from Scooby Doo is acting very suspicious, but to be fair... so is everyone. Sissy Spacek is accused of killing Danny but that's probably not a literal thing. Who is Kevin? John Leguizamo is in full menace-mode. He knows something about Kyle Chandler and ends up getting basked by Kyle because of whatever it is tha...
Trying to figure out what is going on in a television series when you haven't watched 1.5 season of the show is really tricky, so we've got comedian/writer Gemma Caruana with us this week to help us out.! We watched Season 2, episode 5 of Netflix's "Bloodline" - the second episode we have watched of this series. The guy who was dealing the drugs has gotten out of trouble because Velma from Scooby Doo is a lawyer. The emo kid is probably Ben Mendelsohn's son. Sissy Spacek is still dealing with th...
Hello and welcome to "Bloodline-arama" - a seres of episodes where Mish and Zach watch the 2015 Netflix original series "Bloodline"... but only from season 2, episode 3... because that's when John Leguizamo turns up in it. Join us as we try to figure out what the hell is going on in this crime/drama starring Carrie from Carrie and the coach from "Friday Night Lights." John plays Ozzy... we think. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information....
Friend of the pod, comedian and gaming icon Lena Moon is joining us this week to chat about the 2009 action/sci-fi film "Gamer"! "Gamer" stars Gerard Butler and tells the story of Kable, an inmate on death row in the near future that is given the opportunity to get out of jail if he allows some nerdy gamers to play as an avatar version of him in a video game. The cast is stacked! Michael C Hall, Terry Cruz and Ludacris. Wow. John Leguizamo plays an inmate that we're introduced to at the start of...
If we're talking Superheroes, you best believe we're bringing in our Superhero Boy! This week, we're joined by Nick Mason to talk about the 2001 documentary "Once Upon A Time: The Super Heroes". This doco is about the history of comic books, comic book characters and all of the creators that brought them to life... up until the year 2001. John Leguizamo plays his clown character from "Spawn" in a 3 second clip towards the end of the film. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more informati...
We're joined by comedian, writer, podcaster, self-described cinephile and Leguizamarama favourite Alexei Toliopoulos! We've put him through A LOT on this pod in previous episodes, so this week we decided to let him choose what we watched... and he went with an ICONIC Legz performance. Carlito's Way is a 1993 crime drama film directed by Brian De Palma. It tells the story of Carlito Brigante (Al Pacino), a former convict who struggled to escape the underworld of New York City. It has romance and ...
Mish and Zach have obtained a "Sports Guy"! We've elected the fabulous Broden Kelly to advise us on all things sporty, and this week... we're getting sporty, friends! This week we watched the short film "Porzingod" written and directed Conor Byrne. This YouTube video stars John Leguizamo and Adam Mucci, two die-hard New York Knicks fans literally praying for a brighter NBA season for their beloved basketball team. They speak about how awesome The Knicks were in the 90s and how disappointed they ...
It's the third annual Leguigogies/Leguizarias/Leguizoscars/Johnny Legz awards! Join us on this star- studded night of nights. Everyone will be there! Mostly John Leguizamo, Peter Saarsgard and Rosie Perez... and Mish and Zach, obviously. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
This week we watched "John Leguizamo Breaks Down His Most Iconic Characters | GQ" which is a video on the GQ YouTube channel. In this video, John breaks down his most iconic roles and also discusses his role in "The Power." As this was released in 2023, it's hard to tell if his role in "The Power" will actually be iconic, so we're assuming he mentioned it in order to promote it. We learnt heaps of fun facts about Johnny Legz in this video! We also talk about Warm Milk Movies. John plays the part...
How lucky we are to have Jordan Barr join us this week. They're a true Leguizamo fan and one of the funniest people we know. This week, we watched "The Survivor" - a deeply depressing biographical drama released in 2021 about Harry Haft. Haft was a Polish man who survived Auschwitz concentration camp by taking part in fatal boxing matches with other inmates. The cast is stacked, the music is amazing and it's very full on. Also, Danny Devito is there which we LOVE, although we suspect they used a...
Nothing brings us more joy than watching on of the 4 million "Ice Age" films with the superior Comedian/Podcaster/Producer Ben Russell. "Ice Age: Collision Course" is the the fifth and final theatrical released film in this damn franchise. In this movie, that Scrat squirrel dude chases his acorn into a spaceship and creates the solar system. All of the funny mammals in this movie continue to be funny and argumentative, but this time... it's about space! John Leguizamo voices Sid, the funniest of...
We've hanging out with Michelle Brasier on the pod this week! She's a national treasure, an absolute superstar and a lover of Leguizamarama. "Empire" is an action/drama movie set in New York (released in 2002 but was definitely filmed in 2001.) It tells the story of Victor, a self described Latin Hustler who makes his money selling cocaine for Isabella Rossellini surrounded by a tight group of friends and his adoring girlfriend. Life is flipped upside-down for Victor when he meets a rich and suc...
Finding Your Roots is a show on PBS (which Zach thinks is very cute) in which a nice fella sits across from a celebrity with a big book full of information about their history and their DNA. This week, we watched the episode that stars John Leguizamo (obvs) and Lena Waithe. John Leguizamo plays himself, finding out info about himself. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
This week, we're joined by the insanely talented and hilarious comedian/writer/producer Maggie Looke. She's so much fun... so we gave her a deeply depressing movie to watch. 'Nancy' is a 2018 drama film directed by Christina Choe, starring Andrea Riseborough and featuring John Leguizamo and Steve Buschemi - a delicious character actor pair-up, we reckon. Neither John or Steve are ever in the same scene together in this film, but knowing that they are both there fills us with an electric joy. The...
Meadowland is a 2015 drama about the saddest shit imaginable. It's beautiful, but it's heavy as. This beautiful and seriously depressing independent film directed by Reed Morano tells the story of a couple played by the lady from House and the brother of the guy from Wedding Crashers whose lives fall apart after their child goes missing. John plays Pete, a man in a support group who's grieving the loss of his daughter. There is no lightness in this film, so we spend a long time talking about the...
We invited the LEGEND that is Matt Stewart (Do Go On, Who Knew It With Matt Stewart) to join us on our podcast this week! We asked him to watch the 2014 drama 'Cymbeline' and we didn't tell him it was in full Shakespearean language. Sorry, Matt. Cymbeline is a Shakespearean tragedy (or is it!?) about a powerful man named Cymbeline who hates his daughter's boyfriend so much that he decides that he wants to kill him. He would prefer it if his daughter married her step brother. Full on shit happens...
Episode 9 is the final episode of the first season of the television show we've been talking about for over two months now that stars John Leguizamo and Toni Collette- a pairing that still blows our mind. That nun died which has caused a divide amongst the girls. Allie is protected by her 'followers' and together they transfer their powers to the rest of the nuns. What a weird couple of sentences. Bernie did it. We all saw that coming. Toni Collette shocks her political opponent with her magical...
Episode 8 of The Power OOOO AHHHH. At the convent, tension starts to rise for the girls when they see Eve/Allie's true identity. Roxy gets a bunch of money from her dad when she turns 18 (which is sick), but a visit to her mum's old work leads her down a dark path. Muriel and Daddy Legz continue to struggle in their marriage as it slowly goes down the path that Mish really didn't want to see happen. The morally grey aspects of the whole Eastern European dictator's wife thing gets even darker and...
In episode 7, season 1 of Amazon Prime's "The Power", Roxy teaches a bunch of young women how to harness their power and use it effectively. Tatiana and her assistant dance around and play dress up but then things get super full-on. Moana's boyfriend reveals that he was born intersex and now has the power. Together, they blow up fairy lights. A lot of heavy shit is going on with Allie and the voice in her head. She becomes a kind of cult leader and pisses off all of the nuns. John Leguizamo is o...
This week, we watched episode 6 of The Power. It's titled Sparkle Fingers which sounds super fun, hey? This episode is loaded with plot. The anonymous online troll continues to grow an influence whilst negative feelings towards the women with the electric organs continues to deepen. Meanwhile, various characters toy with disclosure, including Margot the mayor who is forced to do a test in the workplace. John Leguizamo continues to play Margot the mayors husband. He's less supportive now but it's...
In episode 5 of The Power starring two of the greatest actors of all time, we learn heaps more about Tatiana - the wife of the old rich guy that Mish only recently realised is in politics. There's also a sex trafficking ring that stops taking in girls out of fear that the women's powers are getting too strong. Meanwhile, Toni Collette (WE LOVE HER) is the face of a movement in support of the women and their powers all whilst her son turns into Andrew Tate. Johnny Legz is offered an obscene amoun...
This week, we watched episode 4 of The Power on Amazon Prime. Loving it, by the way. This episode is about 3 of the characters. Tunde, the Nigerian journalist, goes to Saudi Arabia to film and witness on the uprising of women with the power. Roxy, the British gangster girl that Mish loves, seeks revenge on the men who killed her mother. Allie (the one with the voice of God in her head that sounds like Angela Bassett but isn't Angela Bassett) starts to discover the full extent of her new powers. ...
The third episode of the first season of Amazon Prime's The Power opens with a big plane crash. Mayor Margot goes to assess the crash but the big, sexist governor tells her to fuck off. How dare he. Toni Collette is an icon. The crazy electric hands in teenage women seems to be spreading rapidly and everyone is starting to panic. Politicians around the world try and convince everyone that it is a hoax, but Johnny Legz and Toni Collette do a massive MRI on their eel-daughter and discover the trut...
This week, we watched episode 2 of The Power on Amazon Prime. We learn more about the 20 characters we met last episode. We also meet about 20 more characters and it's very full on. We also meet Mayor Margot (Toni Collette - an actual icon), the mayor of Seattle. We follow her as she starts to suspect that all these random electricity related crimes involving teenage girls might be connected. John Leguizamo plays Dr Rob Lopez - a sweet dad with a grumpy daughter. He is married to Toni Collette a...
"The Power" is a British drama/thriller series based on the novel of the same name by Naomi Alderman. In the first episode of this series, we are introduced to about 500 characters with the vast majority of them being teenage girls. These young women are scattered throughout the globe and seemingly have no connection to one another... except they can all shoot electricity out of their hands and chests. One girl blows up a lamp post, one girl goes to a wedding and one girl discovers that she's an...
In a commercial on Youtube titled "Papa John's commercial 2022 USA", we are encouraged to purchase and enjoy Papa John's new New York style pizza - it is both stretchy and thin. The commercial includes a voiceover by John Leguizamo (who is our favourite character actor.) We learn how to properly eat a pizza. We learn what a consumer should be looking for when seeking out a New York style pizza. We learn to always choose Papa John's over all the other competitors. John Leguizamo plays an enjoyer ...
Six hours into Mish's 24 hour live stream, we watched the 2022 Papa John's commercial for Papa Bites. We discover that there are three new flavours of Papa Bites - two savoury and one sweet. John Leguizamo narrates the commercial. He encourages the viewers of the commercial to throw their New Year's resolutions out of the window and enjoy the greasy, crusty goodness of chain restaurant pizzas and sides. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information....
This week, we watched the first episode of "Seen" - a 2021 web series on the official Oscars YouTube channel where journalist Nick Barili does in-depth interviews with various iconic Latin filmmakers. Nick goes to John Leguizamo's beautiful New York house (Ice Age money, friends) and then they go for a nice drink together. They have an in-depth conversation about John's career and a number of huge issues that have played a part in his life. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more informa...
