Everyone has to start somewhere. There are plenty of big stars who launched their on-screen careers in genre films or background faces in big budget movies, but who grabbed the screen in their first films and never let go? That’s what we start off talking about, but we get to the cheesy roles of some of the big shots as well.

Aaron Neuwirth, our continuing champion of movie drafts, comes to the show this week with some great examples. He has picked out multi-award winning performers, box office behemoths, and long time genre favorites who made big impressions in their first roles. Howard Casner, longtime regular and dark existentialist, dives into the closet to bring out some stars from the golden age of Hollywood who made big splashes in their first on screen appearances. Richard goes for the most obvious choices from the 80s and 90s.

We cap off the show with some self reflection about the movies that have most influenced our lives, you will want to ask yourself the same questions, what will your answers be?
