Hooper (1978) is how we’ve chosen to pay tribute to the late Burt Reynolds, and as it turns out, it might be the Burt-iest movie ever made. Burt’s a stuntman and his friends are stuntmen and they do stunts and tell jokes and then the movie’s over. It’s great!
In the second half we ramble a bit about Flight of the Conchords, The Muppets, New Jack City, Astro Boy and Step Up 3 (not in 3D). Enjoy!

BMFcast201 – Hal Needham was Rad

Second half we talk a few random movies and catch up on listener emails. Enjoy!
