Trading Places made stars out of some and revitalized the careers of others. Eddie Murphy, Dan Aykroyd, Jamie Lee Curtis, Don Ameche, Ralph Bellamy and more all benfitted from and helped make this John Landis film a stone cold classic. Listen for all the details, background, and awesome quotes.Murphy and Aykroyd made a fantastic comedy team. Our draft this week is our favorite comedy duos.

Closing out our In Memorium stretch, we pay respect to Robert Redford, one of Hollywood's greatest leading men. Not only could he act, he also directed iconic films. A career that started in the 60s and ended with relevance in the Marvel universe, Redford's filmography is tremendous. We look back on it all, inlcuding favorites like The Sting, All the President's Men, The Natural, and Sneakers. In honor of his grand stature and good looks, we then draft our favorite traditional Hollywood leading men.

Another career that spanned decades like Gene Hackman was Diane Keaton's. She was nominated for Oscars and commanding the screen from the 70s through the 2000s. Our main introduction came in Father of the Bride in 1991, but that is just the tip of the iceberg. Keaton's crowning moment came with Annie Hall in 1977. With that in mind, our draft this week is movies where the whole title is the name of a character. If you enjoy the show, please rate and review us on the iTunes/Apple Podcasts app or wherever you listen.

We're starting December by looking back at the careers of some of the titans we lost this year. First up: Gene Hackman. His career spanned decades with highs in 60s, 70, 80s, and 90s. We'll give you fun facts and look back at several of his best films. The movie we really discovered Hackman in was Hoosiers. In that honor, we draft our favorite sports movies. Listen to see if Hoosiers makes the list and what else joins it.If you enjoy the show, please rate and review us on the iTunes/Apple Podcasts app or wherever you listen.
