Pubcast
Welcome to the Pubcast. My name is Brendan O’Neill and this is my podcast where I break down my favorite classic movies in various ways: box office performance, ratings, best scenes, trivia and recasting them with today’s actors.

Pubcast 53: Better Off Dead
Tuesday Jun 30, 2020
Tuesday Jun 30, 2020
Allison and Eric again join me, this time to break down the John Cusack 80s classic, Better Off Dead. This move is insanely quirky and weird, and somehow it just works. Oh, and "I want my two dollars!"

Pubcast 52: Raising Arizona
Wednesday Jun 03, 2020
Wednesday Jun 03, 2020
Allison and Eric again join me, this time to break down a Coen Brothers' classic, Raising Arizona. We discuss if this is the "most Coen Brothers" of all Coen Brothers movies, get into some trivia and assorted nonsense, before jumping into what is quickly becoming our favorite segment: Recasterbate. There are some surprisingly great casting options if this movie was remade today. It's a recasting debate. Recasterbate. Get it? Oh well. Also, you'll never guess who failed to win the How Much Are They Worth? game.

Allison and Eric join me to breakdown another Chicago classic, The Fugitive. We decide if this is a Harrison Ford movie or a Tommy Lee Jones movie, dive deep into some great movie trivia, propose some interesting modern casting ideas in 'Recasterbate,' and are absolutely shocked by the net worth of one of the movie's actors in the 'How Much Are They Worth?' game.

Pubcast: Episode 48 - Italy trip, Quentin Tarantino and #iloveus
Sunday Aug 04, 2019
Sunday Aug 04, 2019
After another long hiatus (hey, we're not getting paid for this), Mike and Ruff join me for a brand new episode that features some annoying technical issues (which we've since resolved, but the fix won't be employed until episode 50) and the debut of the theme song for Mike's segment...one of my best efforts as producer. And remember: #iloveus.

Back from some time off, Michelle, Mike and Ruff join me for a lively episode that includes a couple new segments and an introduction to "Living My Best Life" - a song you may never forget; and will rue the day you first heard it.

Pubcast: Episode 46 - We're Baaaack!
Friday Jun 15, 2018
Friday Jun 15, 2018
After WAAAAAYYYY too much time away, the Pubcast is finally back. The last time we tried to come back, we recorded a great episode, only to have technical issues destroy it. This time, we got it right.
Consider this episode a dumping ground of many of the random ideas I've had over the past few months. Mike, Ruff and I jump from topic to topic, trying out potential new segments and weeding out a couple of duds. Overall, I think we shook off the rust pretty well.

Pubcast: Ep 45 - Westworld Recap (part 2)
Monday Oct 02, 2017
Monday Oct 02, 2017
Mike, Tim and my wife, Allison, join me for part two of our deep dive into HBO's Westworld, where we dissect all of the major plot points and characters. If you like the show, you'll enjoy this episode. If you haven't seen Westworld, this probably isn't the episode for you. That said, the second half of the episode includes a funny version of the "How Much Are They Worth" game. Do I break my losing streak? Tune in to find out.
Westworld is a great show and I highly suggest you check it out.
