One Track Mind with Ryan Luis Rodriguez
Audio commentaries are the embryonic form of podcasting, and this show looks at the art of filmmaking through the greatest of these tracks. From comedy to drama, live-action to animation, good and bad, we run the gamut of cinema in a lighthearted, hopefully enlightening fashion. It’s the only commentary-centric show that matters because it’s the only one that exists. (As far as we know.)

Complete Morons Are Rare: “Ruthless People” (featuring Mashley at the Movies)
This week, we’re returning to the well of Zucker/Abrahams/Zucker with a discussion of their final film together as directors: 1986’s "Ruthless People". It’s a tale that involves a vicious circle of blackmail, urine injections for weight loss, identifying emotionally with kidnappers, and marked-down ransom amounts.
Plus, in the second half of this episode, Matt and Ashley from "Mashley at the Movies" stop by for another Community Outreach segment discussing their show and the 1984 Milos Forman masterpiece "Amadeus".

This Week's Recommendation(s): “Fast Times at Ridgemont High" (1982)
