Episode 7: Carl Remembers the 80's: Major League Edition


On Episode seven, I introduce a new segment that will be regularly featured titled: Carl Remembers the 80's. Carl is typically not a fan of anything from the 1980's, so we will occasionally get Carl's insight, and vague memories of entertainment from the 80's. However, he is a fan of baseball and the film Major League, so Carl and I sit down and discuss some the high points and fundamental flaws of the film. So plop into your favorite armchair as we discuss what Charlie Sheen did to prepare for this film, the questionable pitch selection of Steve Jackson, and one of the greatest and mathematically impossible runs from any sports team to get into the playoffs.

Episode 6: Valentines Day with John Cusack


With Valentines weekend upon us, we thought we'd add a little romance to the show.  That's right, on Episode Six of Armchairs & Earphones, Mark from Hey Johnny! and I suggest some films that if you plan on spending the weekend inside with your loved one, or eating Red Vines alone on your couch, you're sure to enjoy. Why you ask?  Because they are the top five John Cusack films, that's why.  He makes the girls swoon, and to be honest, gives us fellas some pointers.
