In this episode of the Mafia where he gets Grae all to himself, he discusses what he thinks of Marky Mark, Contraband, Kate Beckinsale's highlights, and pronouncing Jean Claude's last name like a real French person. This is an incredibly swear-rific episode that should only make you want to hear more Chuck, which you can do right here.

So it only serves to reason that someone like Justin Winters, a married man of two years, would come up with an idea that tortures his poor wife Krissy and confounds Grae. He brought his seething masculinity into the studio to help guide them through a Fantasy Movie Draft, where they will create teams designed to sweep the Golden Globes and Oscars…and allow them to hold the title of BEST BACKSEAT FILMMAKER EVER OF ALL TIME ALWAYS (until next year).

Among things mentioned: what kind of seller ratings people get on ebay, what Jennifer Lawrence told Kristen Stewart at her birthday party, and how youtube can burn an image of the Olsen twins into your head that you'll never forget. Also, Grae gets a little overexcited about a box--what else is new?

No really, you'll never believe it.

Going head-to-head this week is The Muppets and Meet the Feebles. It turns out that Steve and Dean do excellent Muppet impressions, and Grae swears a lot when she's talking about children's programming. Make sure to listen for news on Frank Oz and how the gang feels about puppet porn.

Contained in this episode are the new meanings for DM, what Chris took a picture of on the way to New Zealand, and who the "present top" is in Alonso and Chris's relationship. They also manage to discuss Eyes Wide Shut, mentioned in Alonso's book Have Yourself a Movie Little Christmas. This one will get your bells jingling...

This episode was originally recorded in the summer, but now that the movie is on DVD it's coming straight to your ears for holiday joy. Mafia Bestie Alonso Duralde helps interrogate director and star of BELLFLOWER, Evan Glodell, about the process of making his movie and what kind of advice he has for those who have been kicked in the face by love. He and Grae also discuss flight attendants and how Grae makes sure not to act like a poor person while flying business class.

They said it was too difficult, too intense, and too smoking hot to ever exist. But where the Dutch won't go, Rena Riffel charges boldly forward. This actress/writer/director/producer blew past Paul Verhoeven like a tornado and completed SHOWGIRLS 2: PENNY'S FROM HEAVEN. Sun, 06 Nov 2011 12:00:00 -0400 http://www.popcornmafia.com/assets.php?id=201 http://www.popcornmafia.com/assets.php?id=201 http://www.popcornmafia.com/assets.php?id=201 There's no shortage of juicy information in this podcast with writing partners Dave Smith and Lawrence Riggins. Together, they were the team behind the Van Damme movie Replicant, and more recently,Assassins' Code available on DVD and Video On Demand. Sun, 30 Oct 2011 12:00:00 -0400 http://www.popcornmafia.com/assets.php?id=200 http://www.popcornmafia.com/assets.php?id=200 http://www.popcornmafia.com/assets.php?id=200 To celebrate Halloween and all things scary, Matthew Bolton joins Grae on the show to talk about his new film Paranormal Incident. Since he isn't scary enough on his own, he brought along actor and resident wise guy Brett Edwards to help him recount tales of filming, sneaking onto other sets, and getting the crap scared out of them. Sun, 23 Oct 2011 12:00:00 -0400 http://www.popcornmafia.com/assets.php?id=199 http://www.popcornmafia.com/assets.php?id=199 http://www.popcornmafia.com/assets.php?id=199 This week Grae is joined by two journalistic geniuses. Todd Gilchrist, writer for the Wall Street Journal, IGN movies, Moviefone, and Box Office Magazine, among numerous others, as well as the lady Jen Yamato, West Cost editor of Movieline. Together they discuss how to interview people whilst keeping your integrity, what they think of most of the current movies, as well as how they suck face while people are watching. Officially the trio discusses the recently released Footloose as compared to Ladies and Gentlemen the Fabulous Stains. Just ignore Grae's fixation on kettlebells. Sun, 09 Oct 2011 12:00:00 -0400 http://www.popcornmafia.com/assets.php?id=198 http://www.popcornmafia.com/assets.php?id=198 http://www.popcornmafia.com/assets.php?id=198 This week, the men who are making movie criticism cool again are storming into the studio to make sure Grae knows what they think about robots and boxing. Kristian Harloff and Mark Ellis from the Schmoes Know show, drop knowledge on Grae like no other. Of course, Mark's knowledge makes him seem like a cinematic Rainman, but that's beside the point. Sun, 02 Oct 2011 12:00:00 -0400 http://www.popcornmafia.com/assets.php?id=197 http://www.popcornmafia.com/assets.php?id=197 http://www.popcornmafia.com/assets.php?id=197 This week's podcast lifts the veil of secrecy behind the endlessly important and famous cinema websiteRotten Tomatoes. Matt Atchity and Tim Ryan show up to talk about what happens at junket interviews with Danny Elfman, as well as whether or not they throw tomatoes at each other in the office when they disagree. Sun, 25 Sep 2011 12:00:00 -0400 http://www.popcornmafia.com/assets.php?id=196 http://www.popcornmafia.com/assets.php?id=196 http://www.popcornmafia.com/assets.php?id=196 Best friend of the show and Author of 101 Must See Movies for Gay Men, Alonso Duralde, joins Grae to discuss the new film Weekend with writer/director Andrew Haigh. They work their way through the run-of-the-mill questions, such as where he found his amazing actors and what he thinks about his finished product, and then they get down deeper into how he locked himself in the bedroom to edit it and wouldn't show it to his boyfriend. Sun, 11 Sep 2011 12:00:00 -0400 http://www.popcornmafia.com/assets.php?id=195 http://www.popcornmafia.com/assets.php?id=195 http://www.popcornmafia.com/assets.php?id=195 This week Grae is joined in studio by the Cinema Doctor himself, Mr. Drew Morton. He is lending his learned skull to the task of discussing Drive in Horror Show with director Michael Neel. As they ponder the source of Michael's thirst for horror and movie guts and stuff, they also touch on topics of drive ins, the cast of Survivor, how Grae is a hypochondriac, and also how it doesn't matter if you suck at stuff, because no one really cares. Tue, 06 Sep 2011 12:00:00 -0400 http://www.popcornmafia.com/assets.php?id=194 http://www.popcornmafia.com/assets.php?id=194 http://www.popcornmafia.com/assets.php?id=194 All Simian, All The Time this week, when Chris Bannerman and Rob Palmer come in and discuss Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Going Ape! You might think it's all poo flinging, but together the trio hits upon Rob's short film, what Dolby 1.1 must sound like, and how Rob played softball with Tony Danza but did NOT get a smack on the heinie. Sun, 28 Aug 2011 12:00:00 -0400 http://www.popcornmafia.com/assets.php?id=193 http://www.popcornmafia.com/assets.php?id=193 http://www.popcornmafia.com/assets.php?id=193 This week's two movies have a tenuous link between them, and generous and talented guests Soren McCarthy and Will Phillips milk them for all they're worth. After a rocky start in which Grae attempts to give the first incorrect introduction ever on the show, the show finally hits its stride and the trio can adequately trash/praise One Day and 13 Assassins. Sun, 21 Aug 2011 12:00:00 -0400 http://www.popcornmafia.com/assets.php?id=192 http://www.popcornmafia.com/assets.php?id=192 http://www.popcornmafia.com/assets.php?id=192 This week Grae convinces herself she's playing matchmaker to Justin and Krissy Winters, who are in fact already married. They co-host the So I Married a Movie Geek podcast and have come into the studio to discuss Cowboys and Aliens up against Space Cowboys. Sun, 14 Aug 2011 12:00:00 -0400 http://www.popcornmafia.com/assets.php?id=191 http://www.popcornmafia.com/assets.php?id=191 http://www.popcornmafia.com/assets.php?id=191 Last weekend, The Help overperformed at the box office. On this week's episode, Brunson Green, one of the producers who helped bring the story to life, chats with Grae about the process. You will hear the dirt on Allison Janney, a book tour that went from tumbleweeds to standing room only, and how Christopher Colombus likes his eggs cooked (or just how he got involved in helping on the film, I can't remember which). Sun, 31 Jul 2011 12:00:00 -0400 http://www.popcornmafia.com/assets.php?id=190 http://www.popcornmafia.com/assets.php?id=190 http://www.popcornmafia.com/assets.php?id=190 In order to properly decompress after Comic Con, Jennifer Newman and Michael Schachtner come into the New Dissident Radio studios to just let it all hang out. This episode will transport you back to the days of ye olde last weekend, where 7 year olds were jerks on panels and back-handed compliments were being given to Nathan Fillion. Burning Man fans beware, your event comes under fire...but you're in good company with the Klingons.
