The Leftovers (The Holdovers, 2023)
Listen now
Description
We discuss The Holdovers (2023), a film that tells the story of a cranky history teacher, grieving cook, and troubled student forced to spend their holiday break with each other. It was somehow, improbably, nominated for 5 Oscars. It's supposed to be a comedy, but aren't comedies supposed to be funny? It feels like it wants to be a feel-good, uplifting Christmas movie, but it doesn't do that well either. It has all the grace of an elderly hungover man doing hot yoga.

The ⁠Beard Laws⁠ Podcast/Live Show is where Toby, Brandon J McDermott, Logan, Richie, Producer Zac, and special guests have free-flowing conversations as if they were sitting around a bonfire having a beer or 7. Sometimes it's serious, sometimes it's heated, but every time it's fun and you will laugh at least once during the show.  ⁠Bacon is my Podcast⁠ features hosts Mike Wahmann and Jimmy G (long-time friends and singer/songwriters), who created the show after friends and fans asked what it was like to be a “fly on the wall” during their weekly pre-songwriting hangouts. They decided to let cameras roll, resulting in random and often hilarious conversations over a few whiskeys which evolved into inviting interesting guests from all forms of entertainment to find out what their “bacon” is. A video version is available on ⁠StrangerhoodTV.com⁠! Spoil My Movie is a proud member of the ⁠Deluxe Edition Network (The DEN)⁠.
