Nick D Podcast

Nick welcomes Hollywood Reporter TV critic Dan Fienberg back to the podcast to catch up on three weeks' worth of SNL, and wrap up Big Brother Season 28. Dan also reviews a bunch of shows including, "Brothers" with Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson, the latest TV incarnations of a couple of classic novels "Carrie" and "East of Eden," and two new CBS shows: the vampire comedy "Eternally Yours," and "Cupertino," which is the latest from the creators of "Evil." Then, Esmeralda Leon joins Nick to chat about what's going on in their lives, and in the world, including witnessing horses eating peppermints, passing gas and falling asleep. Then, they finish up their very amusing celebrity fast-food discussion with a fun quiz. How much do you really know about onion rings? This is serious. [Ep 499]

Nick welcomes film critics Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy back to the podcast to talk box office (wow, did Tom Cruise's new movie bomb!), upcoming releases, and to review the new films of the week including: Aaron Sorkin's sequel to "The Social Network" - "The Social Reckoning," "Angel and the Badman" which is an unnecessary John Wayne remake, Samuel Jackson as the president driving around in a heavily armored car in "The Beast," and more. It's Spooky Season, so Esmeralda Leon and Nick talk about scary movies like "Night of the Demons 2," "The Exorcist," and more. Esma also tells Nick about the cool old-school horror programming happening at the 400 Theater in Roger's Park, and an appearance by Count Fartula triggers a deep (and very funny) discussion about vampires, and their diets.
