In our first episode of 2018 and we are back discussing some things we have watched during our holiday break and our opinions about the Disney-Fox deal and the repercussions it might create. We start off talking about our Christmas break what we have been up to. We also briefly pick our favorite holiday foods and traditions. This is when we all realize Adonis has never had the distinct pleasure of tasting Baileys. After we each discuss the movies and series we have been watching, we talk about the Disney-Fox deal and what it means for the future of the movie industry. While many are excited because X-Men will finally share the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the consequences of this merger will change the industry as we know it.     Question of the Week: What is your favorite holiday meal? Is the Disney-Fox deal a good thing or a bad thing?

It is the end of 2017. It is time for fresh starts and welcoming 2018 with open arms. But before we could do that, Part-Time Characters wanted to take a trip down memory lane. This week's episode is a special holiday treat where our listeners get to hear all of the mistakes we make before the final edit is done. The episode includes all the outtakes and laughs we had throughout 2017. You will hear all of Sam's sketch ideas for Gandalf the Wizard, Adonis's attempt to roast a meat and Bridget's Long Island and New Jersey accents. There will also be some uncensored cursing brought on by frutrating video games, loud neighbors and mosquitoes. We hope you enjoy our last episode of the year and you laugh as much as we did when we weren't 'on'. Happy New Year to all of you, Part-Timers!   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Star Wars Episode VII came out in theaters a week ago and Part-Time Characters is finally ready to talk about The Last Jedi with all of the spoilers and rage. Accompanied by our guest, Jerry Rodriguez, we let the hate flow through us as we discuss the out of place humor, the new character pairings and 'the twist' that people either love or hate. Be warned. We talk about every little detail of this movie. There will be all the spoilers. If you haven't seen this movie yet and don't want it spoiled for you, maybe come back in a week and have a listen. We start off the episode by mentioning in a few sentences how we felt in general about The Last Jedi. Bridget makes the perfect analogy of comparing the movie to eating Froyo when what you really wanted was a sundae. We move on to analyze the humor and how it compares to the humor of previous Star Wars movies. Was it too much? Was it actually funny? Did it even feel like Star Wars? Later on, we discuss each character's story and how they come together in the third act. We are all still perplexed with Finn and Rose's storyline and how this is not the Luke Skywalker we all know and love. Even Mark Hamill doesn't understand why Luke would hide away for so long. Right before we almost join the Dark Side, we end the episode by speculating what can be expected from Episode IX. Let's just say, we don't have a lot of hope. Sorry, Princess Leia. ANNOUNCEMENT: We are thinking of making a confession game. We are going to leave our anonymous confessions here (all related to movies or celebrities) and in the next episode, we will read them and try to decipher who confessed what. The whole point is to bluff and make sure people don't guess our confession. You can leave yours as well and confuse us. When we play the game, you can admit to your confession in the comment section. Click here to register and confess! Question of the Week: What did you think about The Last Jedi?Send us a message!

This week in Part-Time Characters, we talk about movies about making movies, filmmaking and show business. In honor of the Disaster Artist, a movie about the production of The Room, we discuss our favorite movies that concentrate on the art of making a movie, the struggles behind the scenes and the final product the audience gets. Before Sam and I reveal our top five movies about making movies, we have a quick catch up about what we have been watching in our spare time. Sam watched 88 films in the month of November in a streaming service called Filmstruck. He tells me about the latest director he has explored and some of his movies he enjoyed. On the other hand, I talk about a delightful show I've been watching on Amazon Prime, The Wonderful Mrs. Maisel. When Midge Maisel's world is destroyed due to her husband leaving her, Mrs. Maisel takes to stand up comedy and decides to go for it even though in the 50s she is just supposed to be a housewife and a mother. The majority of the episode is dedicated to movies about filmmaking. Sam picks some lovely classics plus other more obscure choices that showcase the love for movies by the people behind the camera. I pick a few movies that came out in the 2000s and have the triumph of picking five movies that Sam has never seen; a real first for Part-Time Characters!
