The Brothers Raskin are Diggstown Men

Welcome to Olivarir County!

The Brothers Raskin crossed into Diggstown and its’s ten men up and ten men down. Remember: never con a conman, especially if he’s better than you. Brother Patrick fires up the grill with a Bear v. Beef throwdown. Is it better to serve the masses or the critic? Is there a difference between perfection or is perfection simply a sandwich that gets the job done? Don’t know? Patrick does.

The fellows pivot hard to a deep dive on Oliver Platt. Oliver Platt is one of America’s great character actors and the Brothers deep a toe into Lake Placid. Nope, not the site of 1980’s Miracle of Ice but the spot where Betty White said, “Thank you, Officer F*ck-Meat.” Yes, one of the Golden Girls was rooting for the crocodiles. Brother Ben highlights the benefits of Quick Change with Bill Murray and why it’s always a good idea to know where the landmarks are.

The Brothers Raskin can be found on Ben’s website, BennyRaskin.com.  Check out the website and ask the Brothers a question. Scout’s honor, they’ll answer it or at minimum give you a shoutout on the podcast. It’s a work in progress and they can use your support. Best of all, they haven’t started a Patreon page yet…yet.

Diggstown.

Quick Change.

Paging Dr. Teeth – The Brothers Raskin

The Brothers are back in the groove. Brother Patrick kicks things off with an update from his teaching adventures in Las Vegas, where the classroom heat rivals the desert sun. Then, the mood turns heartfelt as the Brothers eulogize the incomparable Dolly Parton — a true legend whose songs and spirit shaped generations. RIP, Queen of Country. Brother Ben shares his behind‑the‑scenes experience acting in one local movie scene — a crash course in filmmaking that proves even a few seconds on screen can take a ton of work. He calls it "an amazing learning process," and you'll hear why. From there, the Brothers riff through pop‑culture gold: The chaotic genius of Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem The timeless charm of Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn in Charade — excellent, but as Ben says, "it's no Blue Thunder" A deep dive into the films of Roy Scheider, including Ben's ongoing confusion (and affection) for 2010: The Year We Make Contact The Brothers scroll through Scheider's IMDb page, debate cinematic greatness, and sprinkle in their trademark banter. Want to read Ben's script, The Hex Nut Affair at Lab 53? Email him at benj.raskin@gmail.com. And as always — be a mensch, tell a friend.
