we couldn't get a guest who was available at the very specific time we were able to record so we did this one watch along style. alexis denisoff has entirely too many thumbs in this flick.

so this was an episode we had technical difficulties with that was nearly unlistenable. i know a little more about audacity now and was able to make a pretty listenable version of this, our best podcast.

the episode starts with an apology from me for blowing the february recording. it was called The Black Lebowski and shawn recast ving rhames as john goodman's character and i said that pick was perfect because we've already seen what happens when a stranger f_cks him in the ass. everyone laughed and carried me on their shoulders. this one is caddyshack with pat oates.

Coury's Buddy Scooter "Scoot" McCavin joins the boys to discuss Steel, possibly the sweatiest episode of any show in television history. Season 5, Episode 2. Twitter: @TwilightZonePod Email: [email protected]

The boys return after a long hiatus to discuss the bleak existential terror that is Shadow Play. The boys return after a long hiatus to discuss the bleak existential terror that is Shadow Play. Twitter: @TwilightZonePod Email: [email protected]

dan kalwhite, coury brown and thomas drew all sit down to fantasy cast THE LAST DRAGON. also, i take a bunch of needless shots at my friend, comic kenny williams.

it's december so we did a xmas movie. it's home alone.

Peter Angelo comes by to recast JOHN CARPENTER'S THE THING. #FireShawn

This is our Halloween episode. Make sure you stay tuned until the end to hear Dan Rice's Dracula adventure. 

this one is about THE LOST BOYS

Sorry this is late. We recorded it last week and then I completely forgot about it. Always the pinnacle of professionalism. Anyway, we recasted FORREST GUMP while our friend Coury was working on a nice blackout drunk.

Shawn and Dan are away this week, working with Mariah Carey on the set of GLITTER 2D, so I'm fantasy drafting ROCKY III with Pat Oates and Dan Brown. This was one of the 7 movies guest Dan has seen, and it's got a wrestler in it, which makes it a perfect movie for Pat.

On this week's episode instead of a movie, we chose to revisit one of the greatest comedy specials of all time. A forgotten gem, Matt Heath's DIED AND GONE BOWLIN' stands out as one of the most influential and experimental works of the eighties, and to be honest, ever.

We've got series regular Dan Kalwhite here to remake NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN. Stosh changes the location of the movie and Shawn Murray rebrands himself as The Diamond, so it's a very controversial episode.

This week we're recasting the iconic feminist masterpiece DIRTY DANCING so I put on my best NPR voice and I brought out my Bechdel Test cuz we're getting woke as hell, my G's.  Hosted by Shawn Murray, Stosh Mikita & Dan Rice

this week we had past guest Dan Kalwhite as well as first time guest comedian, IMPRACTICAL JOKERS producer, amigo: Mike Finoia. this is our first time having a guest with credits and hopefully we didn't blow it.  Hosted by Shawn Murray, Stosh Mikita & Dan Rice

no guests this week. just the 3 white dukes settling in to talk about the number 2 all time patrick swayze movie, ROADHOUSE. Hosted by Shawn Murray, Stosh Mikita & Dan Rice

We decided to do a movie that is still in theaters. Josh Levinson joins us with the type of nerdy picks you'd expect. I like this one. Love, Stosh

shawn and dan were out of town this weekend and my guest fell through and i couldn't fantasy draft against myself, so instead i decided to punish myself and you by watching mother and commenting over it. this is only for brave boys, girl brave boys, and masochists.

this week Andrew Morgan suggested INDEPENDENCE DAY to celebrate the actual independence day. he also took exception to the lack of females on my cast list, and shawn murray plans his newest project JUNETEENTH. we're pretty woke now, except for me and dan.

On this week's episode we fantasy casted Dylan McKay's favorite film, CASABLANCA. The D-Man has real good taste too for a fictional high school student. Stosh rhymes Casablanka with Blanka from Street Fighter during our Freestyle A Theme Song To The Movie segment. Tweet us a better name for that segment @fantasyfilmball Hosted by Shawn Murray, Stosh Mikita & Dan Rice

Our guest is Engineer Gero, who chose A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE. At the end of the episode there is audio of me at Dan Rice's wedding getting comedians/wedding guest to recast Dan in his own wedding. Hosted by Shawn Murray, Stosh Mikita & Dan Rice

this weekend was Dan Rice's wedding so we couldn't record, but we had the first episode we tried to record with the zoom. it's a little echoey and Shawn's tinny, but through the magic of youtube tutorials i managed to take something completely unintelligible and make it somewhat listenable. tweet us who you would recast as Dan Rice in his wedding.

this week Shawn Murray was camping on Woke Bae Island so we got his best friend Dame FK to come draft LOTR: FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING with us. it was real hot in the studio and we were delirious from sweat. that's the official joke for any problematic jokes you may not like. Hosted by Shawn Murray, Stosh Mikita & Dan Rice

this week we've got returning guest Dan Kalwhite who chose to fantasy cast L.A. CONFIDENTIAL. watch DEADWOOD on HBO GO. Hosted by Shawn Murray, Stosh Mikita & Dan Rice

I figured out how to use the Zoom and now the podcast sounds really good. No more shitty sounding episodes until we eventually release Predator, which sounds absolutely awful. Anyways, Frankie Hill is our guest and he chose Filmball Favorite BOOGIE NIGHTS. Hosted by Shawn Murray, Stosh Mikita & Dan Rice

This week's episode is delayed due to technical difficulties. As a placeholder please enjoy this podcast from 2015 that Shawn, Dan, and myself were a part of. I play 3 characters on it: Carl Dollarshave, of the Dollar Shave Club empire, Tony Stravaganza, and Jean Claude Van Damme. Hosted by Shawn Murray, Stosh Mikita & Dan Rice  

This week we recorded on a nuclear submarine as we are on our way to rescue Dan Rice, who is being hunted for sport on Weinstein Island. So if you hear some echo during parts of this episode that's why. It's definitely not because I did something wrong on the mixer. Our guest is comedian Penina Beede. Hosted by Shawn Murray, Stosh Mikita & Dan Rice

Josh Levinson is back on the podcast this week to recast STRANGE DAYS, and insane movie about overdosing on compact discs. Dan Rice's job at The Weinstein Company finds him stranded on island and unable to make the podcast. Hosted by Shawn Murray, Stosh Mikita, & Dan Rice

On this week's episode we have Sea Tea Comedy Theater's house improviser and stand-up comic Laura Manasewich, who chose to draft Titanic. Dan Rice's job at The Weinstein Company continues to put a strain on the podcast.

This week we're fantasy drafting the cast of Jurassic Park. Our guest is comedian Craig Taylor whose dad didn't let him watch this movies because "dinosaurs are gay." What a rube. Also, I'm getting good at freestyling. Hosts: Shawn Murray, Stosh Mikita, and Dan Rice Engineer: Gero Alberino

This week our guest is comedian and metal boy Peter Angelo. We got into some real B movie territory with 1990's Tremors and had our best freestyle to date. hosted by Shawn Murray, Stosh Mikita & Dan Rice

This week we are down one host, but we are plus one classic movie to draft. We had past guest Dan Kalwhite back on because he himself might just be a 13 year old who got Bigged by a rouge Zoltar. Vote for your favorite draft on Twitter @fantasyfilmball

Schedules didn't allow us to record this week, but we've been sitting on this one because it was recorded at too loud a volume. Now we have been forced to release it. Anyway, here's Superman 2. Apologies all around. Hosted by Shawn Murray, Stosh Mikita & Dan Rice

This week we drafted 1974's ZARDOZ. This is the last episode with Dan Rice as a guest because I bought a fourth microphone and me and Shawn asked him to be a regular co-host. So say goodbye to Dan Rice, and say hello to Dan Rice. Hosted by Shawn Murray, Stosh Mikita & Dan Rice

On this week's episode our guests were comedian Dan Kalwhite and fun-loving party boy Mike Nunes. Stosh chose to fantasy draft 1993's extreme sports classic, AIRBORNE. Dan and Mike are the only other fans of the movie in existence, which probably means not many people will listen to this episode. You should listen, though, because it's super fun. There's even a couple of hacky Mr. Miyagi impressions if you're not sold. Don't forget to vote for the best draft on Twitter @fantasyfilmball. Hosted by Shawn Murray & Stosh Mikita

This week we have comedian Kathryn Gironimi on and she chose THE RIVER WILD, a white water rafting thriller starring Meryl Streep and Kevin Bacon. Look at that description and realize how badly your life has been missing this movie. Don't forget to vote for your favorite draft on Twitter @fantasyfilmball hosted by Shawn Murray & Stosh Mikita

We've got comedian slash music blogger slash Twitter personality slash scenester Dame FK on the podcast this week and he chose to Fantasy Draft GET RICH OR DIE TRYING, the 50 Cent vehicle that introduced the world to Terrance Howard's tiny penis. We decided to freestyle rap at the end of the episode and it went so bad we're turning it into a regular segment. Take that, listeners. Hosted by Shawn Murray and Stosh Mikita

On this week's episode we have on Steven Christina Jr. the host of Super Retro Throwback reviews. Steven picked ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK, a move neither of the movie boys had seen before. This was a tough one to fantasy draft due to how iconic most of the original cast was, but I tried to make up for it by giving a lesson in hip hop history and babbling about OVERBOARD. Everyone had good picks, which sucks, because I like to be the only one with good picks. Don't forget to vote for your favorite draft on Twitter @fantasyfilmball. Hosted by Shawn Murray & Stosh Mikita

This week's episode is a road game so we didn't have the finesse and expertise of engineer Gero, but thank you to Jerry Morgan for both recording and guesting on this Podcast. Jerry chose Fight Club (1999) to fantasy draft, which was fun to look back at 19 years later. Remember to vote for the draft you thought was the best on twitter at @fantasyfilmball. Hosted by Shawn Murray & Stosh Mikita

This week we had Dan Rice on and we tried to clean up the Peter Berg mess "Hancock." This movie stinks, but in theory it had the potential to be great. We put that theory to the test. Even if you hate this movie, don't worry; so do we. Hosted by Shawn Murray & Stosh Mikita 

Episode 15 finds the Duke Boys fantasy drafting against New Haven-based comedian slash Yale alumni slash fun hang Kendra Dawsey. Kendra picked Kill Bill volume 1, which may be the best guest pick yet. She gives us a feminist's eye view of a movie where lots of women die, which I feel lets me off the hook for a lot of my problematic jokes. I'm woke now dude. Hosted by Shawn Murray & Stosh Mikita

This episode is a road game as The Duke Boys are on location in Coury Brown's Mom's basement with special guest Coury Brown. Coury chose to draft Luc Bessom's cult classic The Fifth Element, which lead to a bunch of objectification, obviously. Apologies in advance. Don't forget to vote fot the best draft on Twitter @fantasyfilmball.  Hosted by Shawn Murray & Stosh Mikita AKA The Thin Black Duke and The Thick White Duke. You guys can figure out who's who.

This week we have comedian/felon Sean Hennessey in to fantasy draft a movie so bad it convinced Irish people they were cool: Boondock Saints. We try to turn this crud into a good movie. Let us know if we succeeded on twitter @fantasyfilmball  Hosted by Shawn Murray & Stosh Mikita
