The hosts of Hey, an Actor! have put pedal to the metal in order to squeeze in the listeners' choice for 2021: Tim Curry. This episode charts Curry's wide-eyed "and credit" performance in 1990s curiosity Congo, before heading back in time for his turn as Wadsworth the Butler in Clue, and, naturally, his breakout performance as Dr Frank N Furter in 70s rock opera Rocky Horror Picture Show. Ian and Pandy chart all this as well looking at his other roles as a clown demon, pirate leader, hotel concierge, and Satan. Along the way, we also find out the hosts' favorite Rocky Horror songs, which of them sustained a facial injury via hockey, and which of them got starstruck by Christopher Biggins. Also, THE TOMLINSON AWARDS 2021 ARE NOW OPEN! [ 2:20:38 || 82.3 MB ]

After a few months away, The Brothers Wilson return to look at one of the most prominent Hollywood actresses of the past 25 years: Angelina Jolie. Ian and Pandy look at early career milestone Hackers, her ascendency to household name status with Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, and her dramatic turn in Changeling. The episode discusses the cultural phenomenon of Lara Croft and its effect of adolescent males in the late 1990s, the early days of the Internet, the love life of Fisher Stevens, and the sheer misfortune of being directly related to Jon Voight. One film covered sees the brothers in perfect agreement, whereas another has the biggest divergence in opinion in quite some time. And there's one more full episode to go before Hey, an Actor! closes out the year, so Tomlinsons season is not far behind! [ 2:20:50 || 68.0 MB ]
