Podcast 222: Mad Max: Fury Road

"What a lovely day!" Strap in, wastelanders, because this week, 3 Guys and a Flick is tearing down the Fury Road with nitro-boosted fury. In this explosive episode, Don, Jon, and Ken fire up their War Rig and barrel headfirst into George Miller’s apocalyptic masterpiece: Mad Max: Fury Road.

Witness our deep-dive into a world scorched by chaos, where oil is gold, water is myth, and redemption is found at 100 miles per hour. We dissect the roaring engines of plot, the fire-breathing stunt work, and the evolution of two unstoppable forces—Furiosa (Charlize Theron) and Nux (Nicholas Hoult)—as they fight to reclaim humanity in a world gone mad.

We rev through every frame of this relentless pursuit, comparing it to the rest of the Mad Max saga, exploring how it raised the bar for modern action cinema, and why this chrome-plated epic still echoes through Valhalla.

Tune in. Gear up. And ride eternal, shiny and chrome. This isn’t just a movie review. This is a cinematic war cry.

The road awaits.

Podcast 221: Happy Gilmore

This week, the 3 Guys are trading movie reels for putters as we step onto the green with Happy Gilmore! That’s right — we’re reviewing our first-ever Adam Sandler flick and our first golf movie, all in honor of the long-awaited Happy Gilmore 2 now streaming on Netflix.

With a backswing like a hockey slapshot and an attitude as loud as his pants, Happy’s not your average golfer — and this ain’t your average sports movie. We’re breaking down all the birdies, bogeys, and beatdowns (RIP Bob Barker), plus what made this Sandler classic a hole-in-one for '90s comedy fans.

From Chubbs’ wooden hand to Shooter McGavin’s epic villainy, we’re swinging full force into the madness, the mayhem, and the movie that made “just tap it in” a generational quote.

This week, we take aim at Grosse Pointe Blank—the 1997 dark romantic comedy that asks the question: Can a professional hitman find redemption, romance, and closure all in one high school reunion? Starring John Cusack at his most sardonic and Minnie Driver at her most magnetic, and directed by George Armitage, this cult favorite blends action, comedy, and surprisingly heartfelt moments with a soundtrack that absolutely slaps.

We dive deep into the film’s highs and lows, dissect the chemistry, the chaos, and the killer needle drops, and debate whether this genre mash-up truly sticks the landing. We also uncover behind-the-scenes trivia, unresolved plot threads, and why Dan Aykroyd's villain goes from menacing to manic.
