Pick Six Movies is a movie podcast where each season we select six movies, all related to a single theme. We examine the history of the people in front of and behind the camera, try to make sense of how and why the movie was made, then discuss each one in way too much detail to see if they are any good. Pick Six Movies is hosted by Bo Ransdell and Chad Cooper, two life-long friends with a shared passion for discussing things they barely understand in an attempt to make each other laugh.

S1: Episode 1: Smokey and the Bandit

May 18 2018 95 mins  
Kicking off this season of Pick Six Movies is 1977’s “Smoky and The Bandit”. This is one of the most iconic movies of the 1970’s, featuring the one and only Mr. Burt Reynolds in what is perhaps his most iconic role of the 1970’s and perhaps his career, that of The Bandit. So join us as we start this six pack of movies with a whole load of six-packs of Coors beer.

S1: Episode 2: Stroker Ace

May 25 2018 111 mins  
In the second episode of this season we get back behind the wheel with Burt Reynolds with Hal Needham back behind the camera in the 1983 race car disaster “Stroker Ace”. This movie has everything you expect from the team of Reynolds and Needham. It includes car chases, car crashes, misogyny, sexual assault, attempted murder, bar fights, illogical plot structure and general disa

S1: Episode 3: All Dogs Go to Heaven

Jun 01 2018 112 mins  
In the third episode of this season we take a look at Don Bluth’s animated feature film “All Dogs Go to Heaven”. Looking for a children’s movie with gambling, murder, gun play, child abduction? What if we make it a musical with tragically forgettable songs and a lack of any sense of morality or good will? It’s features the voice talents of Burt Reynolds, Dom DeLuise, Loni

S1: Episode 4: The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas

Jun 08 2018 98 mins  
Chad and Bo are back with a look at the comedy/musical/small business tutorial, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas! There’s a lot of love for Dolly and a heapin’ helpin’ of scorn for this surprisingly lifeless affair of the rented heart. Jump in!

S1: Episode 5: Sharky’s Machine

Jun 15 2018 135 mins  
Examination of “The Films of Turd Ferguson” continues as we head south to Atlanta and become part of “Sharky’s Machine”. Burt Reynolds both stars in and directs this gritty cop drama that features team of officers that love busting hookers, junk food, one way phone sex, turning invisible, fighting ninjas all while never having a southern accent.

S1: Episode 6: The End

Jun 22 2018 111 mins  
It’s fitting that “The End” caps off Season 1 where we explored the films of Turd Ferguson. This movie comes to represent all we know and love about Burt Reynolds movies in every good way and every bad way. It’s a dark comedy that’s neither dark, nor arguably a comedy. It’s tonal mosaic of a poorly constructed narrative wrapped around a narcissistic protagonist. And did

S2: Episode 1: Wayne’s World 2

Jul 13 2018 150 mins  
This season’s theme “Live From New York” features six movies inspired by characters from Saturday Night Live. To kick things off, we present “Wayne’s World 2”, the sequel to the highest grossing Saturday Night Live movie of all time – “Wayne’s World”. It was the success of “Wayne’s World” that ushered in a decade where nine Saturday Night Live inspired fil

S2: Episode 2: Superstar

Jul 20 2018 114 mins  
This season’s theme “Live from New York!” continues with the movie “Superstar,” featuring the brilliantly funny Molly Shannon starring as Mary Katherine Gallagher. In this episode we explore the career of Molly Shannon to get a better understanding of how this movie and it’s protagonist is in many ways a pseudo-autobiographical story of Molly Shannon herself. Unlike man

S2: Episode 3: It’s Pat

Jul 27 2018 123 mins  
“It’s Pat” is the next film in this season “Live from New York!”. We finally get an answer to the question, “Who wanted to see a movie based on the SNL character Pat?”. The answer is apparently nobody. The quality of a movie is inversely proportional to our enjoyment of discussing it. “It’s Pat” is the worst movie we’ve reviewed to date and made for the most s

S2: Episode 4: Stuart Saves His Family

Aug 03 2018 145 mins  
You’re Good Enough, You’re Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People Like You. Come join us as we continue an exploration of SNL-inspired movies with Episode 4, “Stuart Saves His Family” starring Senator Al Franken, Criminal Intent’s own Vincent Vincent D’Onofrio, Harris Yulin a.k.a. – the angry judge from Ghostbusters 2 – and the ever lovely Laura San Giacomo.
