The Big Bracket awaits in September, as we will finally end a years long search for the greatest movie role ever... but there are several spots empty, and to fill up one of those blank spaces, #FanboySummer2023 loser winner participant Matt Mink makes his glorious Coke-filled return to the podcast!
This time around, Mikey, d$, and #TwitterlessDrEarl catch up with Matt and his latest on both of his podcasts -- The Soundtrack of Life and Man-Child Movie Night -- before Matt leads the show into the 27th Big Bracket tourney... this time, to find the greatest movie role from the BMF himself, Samuel L. Jackson.
From Matt's least favorite Tarantino film to the version of "H8ful Eight" that everyone should see to #TwitterlessDrEarl putting "The 51st State" on his to-be-watched list to Dave pimping for Carl Lee Hailey to Mikey trying to explain the Shaft mythology... 32 roles go in, only one can be a Bad M-F'er and advance.

BATTER UP! Baseball has begun, 30 games into the season, Dave's team, Baltimore, is already out of it, Mikey doesn't care because Dallas Cowboys play the foosball and not the baseball, and #TwitterlessDrEarl is out and about, saving lives, delivering babies and politicking.
So, we bring in Roth from Wyoming, co-host of Good Day for a Movie Podcast, and Deucecast Discorder Extraordinaire, to help figure out which one of these 32 incredible baseball roles head to the Big Bracket of Ep 600!
First up, the return of WORD UP! to the show -- discussions on Doctor Strange, on Netflix failings, and Top Gun Maverick prospects. Plus, some other random chitter chatter before the tourney takes over.
Roth, Mikey, and d$ set out to determine the best modern day baseball role in movie history, with everything from Wild Thing to a double dose of Costner to Tony Danza and Tom Selleck and Bernie Mac and a few chicks even make the final line up. Great discussion, great film memories.
MOVIES DISCUSSED IN THIS EP:
In the final episode of the break before Season 3, host Andrew Geha is joined by his brother, Sam Geha, and their friend, Nigel Wright, to determine who the best Force-user in Star Wars is.
In this bracket challenge, Sam and Nigel battle it out with verbal arguments, rhymes, haikus, and acrostics!
As a reminder, Season 3 will begin on September 7th!
