Graham Elwood (“Comedy Film Nerds”) & Susanna Brisk (“MILF Code”) proudly resent the cult classic, “Miami Connection.” They join me at the Hollywood Improv Lab for a live show for a very few (select) people.

The great Kathleen Wilhoite covers one of the terrible “songs” from “Miami Connection.” She also sings the song that she did in the movie “RoadHouse.” Yes, that “RoadHouse.” Hear Kathleen spill the beans on the onset drinking and drugging on a previous episode with Joel Stein.

Back to this episode… Here’s a trailer for the film and part of the original song that Kathleen covers.

Listen to past live shows…

Lauren Hennessy proudly (p)resents “Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit.” Chemda Hennessy joins her husband and me (or is it “I?”) to recap this film. The catch? Lauren LOVES this movie! He’s actually presenting this movie. No irony!

This episode is filled with singing, scene recreations and poop jokes. That’s right, poop jokes!

Lauren and Chemda sing parts of the great songs from the movie. Lauren acts out all the parts of the terrible writing.

This married couple not only love this movie, but they hate “Bridesmaids.” They’re not afraid to tell you why. Disagree? Have a favorite Sister Act 2 moment? Comment on our Facebook page.

I was on Lauren’s show “Bottoms Up with Hennessy.” I tell stories I never tell.

Check out Where are they now for the cast of the movie.

Watch “Sister Act” “Sister Act 2” “Bridesmaids” “Bachelorette”\

Show Stuff: This week was supposed to be off, but I loved recording this episode so much I had to put it up right away. The next episode is an interview with the star of “Traxx,” Shadoe Stevens talking about the movie and his career as a radio DJ.

Joel Stein & Kathleen Wilhoite talk “Road House.” Kathleen acted and sang in the movie and gives a candid account of the nuttiness on the set of “Road House.” She talks about the crazy party life on the set and the time Patrick Swayze beat up an extra on camera. As Kathleen puts it, the behind the scenes stories are just as crazy as the movie.

Ryan Sickler & Michelle Buteau Resent “Purple Rain”

“Purple Rain.” Prince came out of the movie gate red hot with this movie classic. Michelle Buteau & Ryan Sickler join me to see if the movie still holds up. We are reminded of some serious 80’s fashion Faux pas, lots of sexism and the waitress that can’t stop crying. We learn that Ryan doesn’t know he’s white, Michelle chose a safety school because it was safe and I drank vinegar to keep a crappy job.

Go to the Proudly Resents FB page and tell us your Prince experience. Also, tell us what character in the movie you relate to. Mine is the doctor. And tell us what you think “Computer Blue” means. Also, Ryan doesn’t consider himself white? First off, his name is Ryan!!!!

There’s also a trivia contest at the end of the show. Email me at Reachadam@mac.com for a chance to win a Blue Ray of “Purple Rain.” Just tell me what is Jerome’s password for Morris.

This episode wasn’t supposed to go up for a few weeks, but it was so fun, I had to share it.

Jimmy Pardo & “Kiss & the Phantom of the Park”

Never Not Funny’s Jimmy Pardo resents”Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park.” Yes, the band Kiss with make up and super powers. Yes, super powers. Watch them fight the evil Kiss created by a mad scientist who happens to work out of the local Six Flags.

1978 TV execs wanted to get that allusive Kiss Army audience. What do they want? The band Kiss, music, magic spells and roller coasters in the background. It’s more “Scooby Do” than “Hard Day’s Night. ” Can’t fail!

We also talk about Jimmy’s popular podcast “Never Not Funny,” his love for Liza and we blow the lid off of Adam Spiegelman’s (Host “Proudly Resents”) great cleaning lady scandal.

Also: Nicko makes an uncomfortable appearance, we introduce new news site @extremelylocal, explore the seedy world of salad bars with Luggage Tuesdays and a plug for a great live show. Go see “Up Late With Adam Fisher” even if one of the writers owes me $100. Cough -Noah Kaufman- Cough.

“Xandu” is both one of the biggest flops & most loved movie of all time. Writer Chris Regan (The Daily Show), actress Judith Benezra and host Adam Spiegelman get critical and historical on this film. Learn how and why it was made. Why Gene Kelly came out of retirement for this, his final movie. Why roller skates? And we ask “Is that graffiti or are you just happy to see me?”

Eric Drysdale (writer, “The Colbert Report”), Jimmy Dore (host, “Comedy and Everything Eles”) and Adam Spiegelman proudly resent “The Apple.”

It’s a movie musical about the devil, disco and elements stolen from better films like “Tommy,” “Rocky Horror” and “Xanadu.”

This 1980 movie takes place in the way future date or 1994. The whole world is run by disco music, angular clothing, rectangle glasses and entertainment. I guess they didn’t know that Napster was only 5 years away.
