It’s Chasing Mimi’s tribute to the silver screen. In this episode Ryan and Martin are joined by Sports Illustrated’s Lindsay Schnell, who is as passionate as we are about kids sports movies, a genre that is woefully underrepresented in today’s film industry.

Among the topics discussed are:

– Air Bud, seriously, the plot of Air Bud

– How terrible dads are in these movies

– Girls being awesome at sports

– Joshua Jackson

– Enchanted Game Gears

So strap yourselves in, grab some popcorn and enjoy. We’d like to thank the Academy and all of you.

Episode 2.11 – Why would you premiere a movie anywhere but Lubbock?

We’ve missed a couple of episodes due to the dumb idea of moving to new places to live, but we’re making it up to you by talking to certified TV commercials expert Erik Malinowski, author of this fantastic piece on Tom Emanski’s timeless entry in the genre.

Commercials we discuss include:
– Crossfire and Lite Brite
– Muzzy
– Action Park

And this horrorscape.

Advertising is so weird.

Episode 2.10 – A Bagel Bites Marriage

After a bye week to prepare for our next guest, we were well rested and ready to talk about gym and recess with none other than Bleacher Report’s Adam Kramer (the indomitable @KegsNEggs). While Adam is still riding his hot streak from tetherball and dreaming of future stardom, Ryan compares foursquare to life and Martin tries to explain what the heck Dr. Dodgeball is.

Join us and have fun because fun is good.

Episode 2.9 – Behold the mighty TETHERBAR

Ryan and Martin talk to Lana Berry, who ruins basically every TV show Nickelodeon and the Disney Channel put out in the 90s. She also thinks foxes are much, much larger than they are, and now Martin’s not going to sleep well for months. Thanks a LOT, Lana.

Episode 2.6 – Giant Puppets Riding Foxes Into Battle

In the spirit of, well, the show that got us here, this week is devoted to school trips. While none of us took a whale watching expedition in the name of education, we did some other fun stuff. Here to help us reflect is MLB.com’s Matthew Leach, who brought our Florida contingent into frightening quorum levels. We discuss trips to Florida destinations, Tampa: the social media manager of cities, as well as Enterprise Village. You’ll just have to listen to find out what the heck that is.

Follow Matt on Twitter because he is great and listen in whatever manner you feel most comfortable to our fair podcast. Godspeed.
