Ep. 35 - A Special Spider-Man Episode
Joined by longtime podcast supporter Nate Jones, the boys from Act Four discuss Spider-Man, Fazoli's, and the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Ep. 34 - The Act Four Christmas Special
Christmas movies, mixtapes, and papier-mâché giraffes. This final episode of Season 4 is one that you don't want to miss.
Ep. 33 - About Time
On this episode of the Act Four podcast, Peyton, Joe, and Connor are joined by their friend, Reid Schmidt to talk about his second favorite movie: About Time. This episode was kinda wild and all over the place, so just hold on.
Ep. 32 - The Marvel Cinematic Universe
The Spider-Man: No Way Home Trailers, Marvel Disney+ shows, Jake Gyllenhaal, and buying tickets to Avengers: Endgame during AP Literature. These topics and more are discussed in this weeks episode of the Act Four Podcast focusing on the Marvel Cinematic Universe and its lasting impact on Hollywood.
Ep. 31 - Ratatouille
THE BOYS ARE BACK. After a year long hiatus, the Act Four Podcast is returning for a surprise Season 4! Is Ratatouille the best Pixar movie? What does the Eiffel Tower taste like? Is Underdog Peter Dinklage's greatest cinematic performance? Tune in for answers to these questions and more.
Ep. 30 - Good Will Hunting
I'm gonna be honest with you, this episode was a blur and we barely talked about the movie, but its funny so you should still listen. We get really existential and talk about life. We also talk about what it would be like to live with four arms. So yeah, just listen already.
Ep. 29 - Ferris Bueller's Day Off
The boys are joined by guest Michael Hull and discuss a movie about what everyone wishes their high school experience was. Ferris Bueller is super cool and like we're just a bunch of chumps but we don’t let it get us down. It’s the same crap as always cause they get all over the place talking Marvel, dream jobs and how Joe is a full on movie encyclopedia. All in all, it’s a fun one based around the quintessential teen movie from legend John Hughes.
Ep. 28 - The Truman Show
So hypothetically, Bailey McDonald is on this episode. He’s pretty cool I guess, he went to California, BIG photography guy and like an all around gooba. Truman Show kinda cool too but we kinda just talk about random crap now. Yeah go Act Four, go you, this is a strong message.
Ep. 27 - Raiders of the Lost Ark
It’s the debate of the century: Busch Gardens vs Animal Kingdom. Indiana Jones has an iconic theme from John Williams but how does it stack up compared to the best theme songs? Somehow we get talking about the 2019 horror film Cats so enjoy that. Sequels and reboots… they are everywhere but which ones are good and which ones suck? All that randomness and more on this week's episode centered around the Steven Spielberg classic.

Ep. 26 - The Shawshank Redemption
The boys of Act Four have a weakness when it comes to math… but they aren’t engineers so it’s okay. Adam Sandler has so much drip he makes everyone drown. But is he more famous than The Rock? We assign an Impractical Joker to each of the guys (Sal if you are reading this please come on the podcast). Connor has been to jail for the dumbest reason ever heard and we talk about arguably the best movie of all time for a bit too.

Ep. 25 - The Lion King
This episode features the second-ever guest on the podcast, Jayson Roach! He is the Founder/Director of Ripplify Media and the host of the StoryTrack Podcast. The classic Disney animated film The Lion King (1994) is the basis for discussion. Jayson says that this is his favorite movie of all time and clearly shows the passion he has for it. The guys cover everything from the iconic songs and characters to the 2019 remake. Is it okay that Disney is just slowly taking over the world? Is there any voice actor that you would give your Kidney to meet? Do the economic and governmental structures of the pride lands make sense? We have answers to all of those questions… maybe.

Ep. 24 - Back to the Future
Peyton, Connor and Joe kick off Season 3 of The Act Four Podcast! The next 12 episodes will cover what the guys have decided are all-time classics. Episode one covers the Robert Zemeckis film Back to the Future (1985). Marty’s mom is super creepy and no one really knows how to react to her advances toward her own son. John Mulaney thinks this is a “very weird movie” and Joe apparently didn’t know that Bill is a common nickname of people named William. It’s fun to be back talking movies again and this is just the beginning of what should hopefully be a fun season.
