Binge-Watchers Podcast

LAST TIME ON BINGE-WATCHERS PODCAST

Our crew covered our favorite movies from 2020 and revealed our top 5 most played episodes from the year by you the fans...

TONIGHT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT

A movie that came out BACK IN THE DAY, it came out 40 or so years ago, but serves as a kind of a love letter from a stunt man to stunt men during a time when stunt workers bled for their art to bring stories to the screen, broke bones to hit their marks, and died in such pursuit...

Back in the Day, Hal Needham and Burt Reynolds brought us HOOPER a fun ride filled with beer-drinking horses, 325 foot jumps, and among other things --- the director swears all the stunts were real.

But first --- home video headlines!!!

HOME VIDEO HEADLINES

The Office has officially moved to Peacock from NBC.

No longer streaming on Netflix.

Episode playlists are an awesome feature such as Best of Dwight, Best of Jim, and Worst of Toby, but also include collections breaking down cringeworthy moments, holiday episodes, and other ‘best's.’ Great behind the scenes stuff too.

They did a cold open promo never before released to market the move to Peacock - it was a great moment for Hank the security guard too bad they never used The Matrix sketch in the actual show.

WW84 is the most streamed VOD to date.

Nomadland can’t be seen anywhere, but it is a critical hit.

TONIGHT’S MOVIE IS HOOPER FROM 1978

Sonny Hooper (Burt Reynolds) is getting too banged up to remain Hollywood's top stuntman, but he signs up as the stunt coordinator for a big-budget action movie with a pushy director (Robert Klein) and a clueless star (Adam West). Ready to retire from the physical abuse, Hooper is gearing up to make the film's climactic stunt his biggest ever, but cocky young stuntman Ski Chinski (Jan-Michael Vincent) aims to steal the glory with his more scientific, technology-oriented stunt methods.

Also starring Sally Field, Brian Keith, and Jim Best.
