It's hard to find a movie that our guest (comedian and avid cinephile Alexei Toliopoulos) hasn't seen... but we did it! And it's a movie that many of you have been BEGGING us to unpack. This week, we chat about "The Pest" - a 1997 comedy written and starring our favourite character actor, John Leguizamo! This film tells the story of Pestario - a goofy scam artist that owes money to the Scottish mob. With the hope of winning $50000, he agrees to take part in a bizarre hunting game presented to hi...

This week we're joined by our mate (and Leguizamarama fan-favourite) Gen Fricker! Together we talk about the group chat we have and about all of the thirsty TikToks we send each other every day.

This week, Mish and Zach watched "Fish N Chips: The Movie" - an animated film from 2013 directed by Dan Krech. It's a film about a fish named Fish and a cat named Chips who are both dealing with some deep generational trauma surrounding the ownership of a small bone on a string that they wear like a necklace. Fish's ancestors stole the bone from Chip's ancestors after literally eating them. Chips desperately wants to get the bone back so that he can return it to his family, but Fish is being a l...

Mish and Zach are back - but we're trying something new! If you love Leguizamarama for the chit-chats at the start, well, you're in luck! We're going to dedicate a whole episode each week to our mindless banter. This week, we're talking all things sexy thrillers. Why was cinema in the 90s so horny? Why has sex in films changed so dramatically? Can Ben Affleck and Ana De Armas save an entire genre? We also reveal the Leguizamo movie we'll be watching this week so you can watch it along with us! W...

This week we watched season 33, episode 10 of "American Masters" - something we both reckon we'd never have watched if not for this delightful podcast that we do each week. In this episode, "American Masters" focuses on iconic Puerto Rican actor Raul Julia - his career on stage and screen, but also his personal life behind the camera and the impact he had on Hollywood. John Leguizamo plays himself - he does a bit of Shakespeare at one point and speaks on how awesome Raul Julia is. Hosted on Acas...

We've got podcast royalty in the studio with us this week! The hilarious comedian/podcaster/radio presenter Jess Perkins joins us for a chat about the 2016 crime drama "The Infiltrator" directed by fellow John Leguizamo appreciator Brad Furman. This is a movie about catching bad guys who love drugs and money but pretending to be a bad guy who loves drugs and money. John Leguizamo plays Emir Abreu - one of the blokes who is out to catch the baddies. He's phenomenal in this movie. Hosted on Acast....

So excited for this one! We loved watching "Waco" around 47 years ago (episode 9 of this silly podcast), so when we saw that in 2023 "Waco: The Aftermath" would be hitting out screens, we all thanked the Leguizamo Gods for looking down on us and saying "Ok, you pair of weirdos. Have a little treat." "WACO: The Aftermath" episode 1 is the first of 5 episodes in a series directed by Drew Dowdle and John Erick Dowdle. It tells the ongoing story of the chief negotiator of the original Waco siege, it...

The director of 1984's "Mixed Blood" is Paul Morrissey. He is best known for having made crazy, camp and kitsch films. This particular film tells the story of a Brazilian gang of drug dealers in Manhattan led by an alpha-female mother-type. It's really vibey and strange. John Leguizamo plays a young guy playing basketball. He's on screen for about 3 seconds. This the the first feature film to feature out matrixes Johnny Legz. Hosted on Acast.

Leguizamarama is thrilled to be joined by Greg Larsen this week! He is a phenomenal comedian, writer, actor and podcaster and genuinely one of the most talented people we know. To show him our appreciation for coming on the pod, we made him watch a failed pilot from 2012 titled "The King of Van Nuys" which is one of the most bizarre things we've watched in the history of Leguizamarama. "The King of Van Nuys" is an American remake of the extremely popular British sitcom "Only Fools and Horses." I...

"Point of Origin" is a 2002 television movie based on a true story about a serial arsonist named John Orr (played by Ray Liotta EXCUSE ME!?) who spends the entire movie lighting stuff on fire and trying to cover his tracks. John Leguizamo plays Keith - a newbie on the police force who looks up to John Orr like a mentor, but quickly discovers that he just likes to set shit on fire and that's super off-putting.

To celebrate the commencement of 2024, we thought we'd watch a YouTube clip from the mid 90s and dedicate an entire podcast episode to it. Very normal behaviour. This week, we watched "John Leguizamo Interview On The Jon Stewart Show (June 18 1995)" which is a YouTube clip starring the man this podcast is all about. In this interview, he talks about his role on Die Hard 2, and he also shows his bottom. This clip also includes the original ad break during the 1995 interview which was a strange an...

When we mention the "Ice Age" franchise, who is the first person you think of? Is it comedian, writer snd improvisor Ben Russell? Of course it is!

"Ice Age: A Mammoth Christmas" is a 2011 television special that tells the story of that little squirrelly ratboy and his stupid acorn, Sid the sloth ruining Christmas for all of his friends, and one of the worst Santas to ever grace our screens. No offence. There's dance, song a...

We're very fond of John Leguizamo over here at Mish and Zach's Leguizamarama, and what do normal people do when they like an actor? They make a podcast about them and on their 162nd episode, they take the IMDB Top 250 Films list and cast that actor in the most famous films of all time. Normal behaviour. Hosted on Acast.
