“Is Austin’s Soul Worth Saving?"

 “Is a golf course just grass and holes—or the heartbeat of a city’s culture?”That’s the question at the center of this lively episode of The JB and Sandy Show, where we dive into Austin’s indie film scene and the hilarious, heartfelt story behind The Long Shot. Join JB and Sandy as they recount Jamie’s night at the Austin Film Festival for the premiere of this love letter to Austin. Directed by Austin Nichols and starring Ryan Hansen (with whispers of Glenn Powell’s involvement), the film follows a scrappy crew fighting to save their beloved municipal golf course from big-money developers. It’s a comedy packed with quirky characters—think medieval reenactments on the fairway and late-night raves on the greens—that will make you laugh and tug at your Austin pride. Along the way, Sandy shares a surreal airport encounter with someone who looked exactly like Eddie Murphy’s son (and the hilarious inner debate about asking the ultimate question), plus the crew dishes on Austin icons, film industry secrets, and why preserving local culture matters more than ever. And if you’re looking for Halloween thrills, stick around for Trisha’s unforgettable adventure at Scream Hollow—VIP code words, haunted hayrides, and a chainsaw chase that will have you screaming with laughter.Memorable Quote:"It’s not about the money—it’s about the culture."Why You’ll Love This Episode:Behind-the-scenes of The Long Shot and Austin’s indie film vibeLaugh-out-loud stories from JB, Sandy, and TrishaInsider tips for Halloween fun at Scream HollowCall to Action:Love what you hear?
