Club members get access to a live recording of Lunch with Jim & A.Ron every Friday at 1pm, where members get to ask questions in real time. On the fifth anniversary of Lunch with Jim & A.Ron, we started reheating previous lunch episodes and making them available to the public for the first time.
This might be the last time they let street guys like us handle any podcasts this valuable. We’ve had a good run of Scorsese films this year (Goodfellas, The Irishman, The Wolf of Wall Street) but there’s only so much gas is in the Scorsese tank. We canceled our Raging Bull 40th anniversary podcast because we just couldn’t fit it in. Jim’s pumping the breaks on reviewing any more gangster films in the near future. Are we running out of steam? Getting sloppy? I sure hope not because that’s when you make mistakes. That’s when you get whacked.
Join us for a little over an hour of discussion of Scorsese’s 1995 classic Las Vegas gangster film, Casino.

Check out this podcast if you’re interested in hearing our off-the-cuff thoughts on the second Borat movie in 16 years, Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, the Amazon Prime sci-fi show Utopia, the Stephen King / George Romero 1982 anthology teamup, Creepshow, and a low budget, The Shining-esque horror film, Session 9.
There’s an ironic quality to the name of this episode, The Nadir, given that the previous two episodes were our least favorite of the season. This episode is a return to form with some excellent Raylan Gi– er, Marshal Deafy scenes, a lot more action in the gang war, and trouble all around for nurse Mayflower. Join us for the podcast to get our full take.
The Mandalorian takes us on a side-quest escort mission away from our story question of learning more about Baby Yoda. Then it derails that side-quest to pay homage to Aliens and the original Star Wars concept art with an icy subterranean adventure. Honestly, I loved every second of it. Join us for the podcast to hear our detailed thoughts on season 2, episode 2 title “Chapter 10: The Passenger”.

Lunchtime! This week Jim issues a correction to a previous week’s misinformation and makes the Goodfellas prison sauce, A.Ron digs in his eye, and we wrapup our Halloween festivities by welcoming the Christmas season into our lives.
Alexis and Cecily are back for Season 2! They discuss their hopes and fears, where we left everyone in Season 1, and everything they know about the latest upcoming season.
Bald Move introduces “Game of Thrones 2: Electric Bookaloo”, with host Anthony Le Donne. This is a ten episode bookcentric podcast that also reviews the first season of Game of Thrones with comic Steve Ausburne.
Looks like The Lord of the Rings is back on the menu, boys! It’s another LotR mega-pod and this time you have epic mouthful to thank. This time we’re covering the rough middle ground of the epic saga, The Two Towers. While it is our least favorite of the LotR movies, that’s not to say that it’s bad. Actually, it’s very good. We take this opportunity to run down our favorite moments, thoughts on the storytelling, differences between the extended and theatrical versions as well as the books, and all the behind-the-scenes details we can get our hands on.
Another connective episode that has been chopped and screwed from other episodes into its final form leaves us not dissatisfied, but not exactly blown away either. We hear good things about the remainder of the season though, so the pace should pick up from here on out. Join us for a discussion of the episode as well as some corrections and questions from the listeners.
