The first podcast I am involved in is up on YouTube!

If you've never heard my voice before, I hope I don't disappoint.

Hudson Hawk

I have a very eclectic sense of humor.  So it's no wonder that Hudson Hawk is one of my favorite movies.  It came out a long while ago, and as you can see, since Bruce Willis has a much younger look to him.

Eddie Hawk was a famous catburglar, and finally got caught.  The movie opens with him getting out of prison -- then being blackmailed to go back into the business stealing some items related to a "gold machine" created by Leonardo Da Vinci (referenced in the prologue to the movie).  Highjinks, slapstick, and and one-liners ensue.  Eddie and his partner don't use a watch for crimes.  Instead, they sing songs to keep the time, and his partner often tests him on songs and their lengths.

Sadly, the movie bombed in theaters.  I really would have liked to have seen a sequel, or heck, even a TV show based on it based on the earlier years of our dynamic duo, but with bad ratings, it will never happen.

This is at least the second Bruce Willis movie that makes note of "Reindeer Goat Cheese Pizza" (the other being The Last Boy Scout).  I didn't realize it until I bought the special edition DVD earlier this year that Sylvester Stallone's brother is in the movie (one of the Mario Brothers).

It takes a specific sense of humor to "get" the humor, and I thankfully (?) have it enough.  I can quote from the movie, much to the chargrin of one of my friends who saw it for the first time.

Harvey

One of my favorite movies.  Starring the late Jimmy Stewart (you may know him from the annual "It's a Wonderful Life" movie during Christmas), it's a comedic and touching movie about preconceptions.  Based on the play of the same name.

Elwood P. Dowd has a friend, and from the above picture, you can probably see, it's a rabbit.  The movie centers around his sister trying to commit him to a mental hospital -- and mistakes and hilarity ensue.

I ran across this movie during a sleepover during high school with a bunch of friends with the drama club.  The next day, just about everyone had gone (minus me, another friends and the girl's house we were all staying at).  So, her family had rented the movie from the base video store, and we (the three of us) watched it, and I absolutely adored the movie.  I hunted it down on VHS (this was before DVD, mind you) and finally got a copy of it back then.  This movie also represents one of the very few times I my life that I have walked into a video store, saw it on the shelf in DVD format, and picked it up immediately.  If you've ever seen the movie (or plan to) I had memorized the monologue that Elwood does in the alley of the bar.

You can pick it up rather cheaply at various stores, or even check Amazon (which reminds me, I should start an affiliate account).  I also need to pick up the stage play script...
