NBA-Team: NBA 25-26 Previews: Epilogue

With the season here, it is time for Andrew and Adam to lock in their postseason predictions and regular season over/unders....well, Adam is here to lock in their predictions in a solo episode, so apologies in advance for this solo next man up outing. Will OKC waltz into the finals like last year (maybe?) will LeBron be able to get enough games in for All NBA Honors (doubtful?) and will we all continue to believe Brooklyn Utah and Washinton will all be sub-20 win teams (probably.) Enjoy!

Making Mt. Rushmore #62 - Bio Pics / Movie Remakes

In the sixty-second episode of Making Mt. Rushmore, host/moderator Steve Riddle welcomes Jeremy Nichols to discuss which Bio Pics deserve a place on their respective lists. Is Schindler's List a no-brainer? What about Goodfellas? Does Hacksaw Ridge grab a spot? Does The Founder and The Mule deserve a place? After that, they discuss which Movie Remakes will be part of that grouping. Can you argue that A Star is Born (2018) shouldn’t get a spot? Will True Grit (2010) be included? Is Casino Royale (2006) in the conversation? What about Scarface (1983) or Friday the 13th (2009)?

This week tested every whisk in the kitchen. Two bakers earned Hollywood Handshakes, one earned Star Baker, and one sadly said goodbye. Join Mirandia and Ben as they break down all the sweet successes, the soufflé stumbles, and the emotional exit that had fans talking.
