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.
