After tons of episodes where Tom Hanks as a music producer was mentioned, we finally have a movie to talk about it. It's just not the movie that we frequently reference.
AARON and JIMMY from TOO MUCH POPCORN join the boys at the top of the charts to discuss the nostalgia-driven music comedy that not only gave us Tom Hanks as a writer/director, but another banger of a Steve Zahn supporting performance. It's THAT THING YOU DO! Don't have the title memorized quite yet? Don't worry, it'll be drilled into your brain by the end of the movie.
Join them as they answer such questions as: How many times do they sing that same song? Was Tom Everett Scott cast just because of his Tom Hanks looks? Which one of us is vehemently anti Liv Tyler? and Just what the hell is a Cap'n Geech and the Shrimp Shack Shooters? among many others...
Thank you for coming on, Aaron and Jimmy! Be sure to check out TOO MUCH POPCORN wherever you get your podcasts and on Twitter!
