- Still Talkin’ — Aaron Burns on Bringing Jimmy Stewart to Life
Josh Sroka and Robb Spewak welcome Aaron Burns, director and producer of Jimmy, for a conversation about bringing an American screen legend’s most transformative years to the movies. From Hollywood stardom to World War II combat and the making of It’s a Wonderful Life, Aaron explains why Jimmy Stewart’s story became a film about service, hope, and finding a way forward.
Aaron shares how KJ Apa captured Stewart’s voice and mannerisms without turning the performance into an impression, why he approached Jimmy as a Frank Capra movie, and how the team combined archival footage with recreated newsreels. He also discusses Kelly Stewart-Harcourt’s involvement, a cameo from Karolyn Grimes—Zuzu herself—and the reactions that meant the most to the filmmakers.
Plus: honoring veterans, the difference between a timely story and a timeless one, Rob Riggle’s input on set, and the camera choices that show Jimmy’s isolation and return to joy. Robb has already watched the film twice, Josh offers a potential poster blurb, and Aaron picks his favorite Stewart movies—with one obvious choice taken off the table.
Jimmy opens nationwide November 6, 2026.

Jimmy Stewart was a Hollywood legend. To Kelly Stewart-Harcourt, he was Dad. Kelly joins Josh Sroka and Robb Spewak to share family stories, from the wartime diary discovered after his death to the mischievous sense of humor behind his familiar screen presence.
Kelly discusses seeing KJ Apa portray her father in Jimmy, growing up near Lucille Ball and Jack Benny, fans picnicking on the family’s front lawn, and the poem about Beau that brought everyone to tears. Afterward, Josh has one important question about Harvey: does Jimmy Stewart play the rabbit?

Mike’s morning drive inspires a highly unscientific list of cars—and drivers—to watch out for, with a special place reserved for the Nissan Rogue. Josh remembers the Mustang he’s glad he never inherited, and Robb recalls meeting Pat Summerall. A shark story sends Mike into a full-body Jaws impression, creating exactly the kind of ridiculous moment the guys will miss. Plus, political-text overload, a rare look at the Three Stooges explaining their craft, an unforgettable steak-and-eggs pitch, and a puppy video that nearly breaks the show. It’s moments like this.

Robb heads to Hobby Lobby for an Elvis poster frame and finds a world of fake cinnamon, “cute” decorations, and discounts that never end. Mike has questions—and a very special store employee on the line. Josh explains his two-hot-dog strategy at Costco, while Mike’s homemade beef stroganoff leads to a butcher encounter the guys refuse to leave alone. Plus, who gets the spotlight in the social clips, NFL referee frustration, and Robb’s firm stand against self-checkout. Welcome to Robby Lobby.

Mike’s computer is falling apart, but the real technical challenge is getting Robb to guess what he’s watching. A simple TV recommendation becomes an epic interrogation before Vikings finally emerges from the fog. Robb returns from Kings Dominion with happy memories, a candy apple, and a brutally accurate observation from Cary about his favorite activities. Mike and Michael brave Obsession together, and Mike shares his latest insurance-plan frustrations. Plus, a Genius Bar that ought to serve drinks, nostalgic television technology, and one loaded little word: “her.”

Robb wants a seat at the captain’s table. Josh isn’t convinced there even is a captain’s table—and wearing a tie might be the least of their problems.
This week, Josh Sroka and Robb Spewak compare clothes they’ve owned for decades, set some ground rules for visiting aliens, and dream up their ideal Super Bowl halftime shows. Elvis Presto sends them down a wonderfully strange rabbit hole, while a “raging tiger” story leaves Josh spectacularly disappointed. Then it’s back to Bayside for Saved by the Bell nostalgia, opening-day movie confessions, and Robb’s memories of watching The King of Queens come together in front of a live audience.
Old shirts. Old TV. Absolutely no shortage of opinions.

Stay away from bakeries—they might mistake you for a cutie pie! Mike fights an afternoon slump while Robb explains his bedtime defense against late-night snacking. The boys tackle the cost of moving out, bargain-shopping disasters, and an Elvis figure missing one rather important feature: his face. Plus, changing radio voices, baseball fans getting the upper-deck treatment, and a very strange video from Josh that leaves Robb questioning their friendship.

A home-run celebration brings Michael to the microphone for a baseball debate that somehow travels all the way to Iceland.

If you’re happy and you know it… you might be listening to the wrong news! Mike’s parent-teacher conferences reveal Michael’s secret nickname: “The Mayor.” That sends the boys back to school, where Robb had his punishment written before the teacher could assign it. Traffic brings out everyone’s worst instincts, neighborhood fishing rules put the Mayor under surveillance, and Cary delivers a devastating review of Robb’s theater-kid past. Plus, Halloween horror recommendations, Tony Orlando’s Eagles guest mix-up, low-tech football officiating, and baseball announcers finding plenty to say about Chinese takeout.

Beach Boy? Beach cousin? Robb settles on “Beach Fella”—and Josh is determined to poke holes in his argument.
Josh Sroka and Robb Spewak celebrate episode 007 with a Halloween opening, a spirited Ted Lasso debate, and a question for anyone who keeps The Office running in the background: has Parks and Recreation aged better?
Then Robb’s Beach Boys rant turns into a bigger conversation about aging performers, protecting a musical legacy, and knowing when to leave the stage. Brian Wilson, Mike Love, John Stamos, and a memorable Pet Sounds concert all enter the discussion, while Josh keeps playing devil’s advocate.
There’s a heartfelt thank-you to the founders who keep this new show moving, an update on the mystery pants, a surprisingly involved argument about pears, and plans for a Kings Dominion outing. Plus: eye-surgery stories, Josh’s search for hoodie weather, the Florida fire pit that never gets used, and a warehouse-club bonus story that Josh refuses to accept at face value.
The tangents are plentiful. The gratitude is real. And the beach fella has entered the chat.

Does your wife respect you? Mike’s late-night spiral over Michael’s cast leads the boys into a relationship quiz with some very revealing results. Josh explains the family scare that sent him racing toward a frozen location pin—and how it ended with relief and a pizza detour. Then Robb celebrates his mom’s birthday with Gone with the Wind, defends his favorite film against Mike’s relentless Clark Gable impressions, and declares war on a $24 popcorn-and-soda combo. Plus, a newly discovered family photo, Josh’s complicated plan to force newer movie picks, a runaway giant pumpkin, a ten-pound prime rib challenge, and a perfectly pointed takedown of modern food trends.

A broken thumb, a canceled guest, and a whole lot of trouble! Michael joins the boys to explain how he held on for the out at home plate—even while getting injured. Josh’s planned Wonka interview goes sideways after a contestant hears the podcast, and Mike and Robb turn the fallout into a full-blown roast. The Giants and Commanders provide an overtime disaster, while the news inspires today’s “Blair Witch” moment. We remember radio favorite Big Don O’Brien, celebrate Jimmy’s 60th with missing tablecloths and motorcycle-trip memories, and close with Lawrence Welk’s dancing skeletons, public-access oddities, and a very adult Tallulah Bankhead story.

Josh has hired an assistant. His name is Earl. Robb has one question: who the hell is Earl?
In episode 006, Josh introduces his AI assistant, a tireless organizer with the attitude of Orioles legend Earl Weaver. Earl sorts founder messages, untangles a stack of toll notices, checks in with Josh’s wife, and offers thrift-store advice with a grumpy baseball-manager streak. Robb wonders when a computer became the third guy on the show—and whether his own assistant, Hector, needs a personality upgrade.
Then the guys tackle baseball’s unwritten rules: stop blocking home plate for your selfie, and if you catch a playoff foul ball, do you really have to give it to a kid? Josh’s World Series longing leads to a Super Bowl memory involving Paul McCartney, which Robb takes very personally.
Josh shares an encouraging update on Bella after a rough stretch of emergency-vet visits. Robb’s love of The Sting opens the door to an impressive playing-card collection, a shopping cart he wisely abandoned, and ideas for the final TMOS cruise. Plus: Disney pin collecting, memories of Robert’s Make-A-Wish trip, and a lightsaber adventure at the happiest—and hottest—place on earth.
Meet Earl. He handles the paperwork. Josh and Robb handle the tangents.

Robb celebrates fitting into size 36 jeans, while Mike celebrates “creamage”—his favorite food group and the reason an empty ice-cream box can become evidence against him. Reduced-sugar Frosted Flakes get a harsh review, cereal milk must earn its flavor, and vegetables remain acceptable only with the proper creamy accompaniment. Then Robb prepares to meet a princess at the Library of Congress, prompting a full wardrobe intervention, a debate over “smart casual,” and some very specific rules about what he can bring. The boys tackle rising costs, corporate consolidation, and the arguments that keep everybody distracted before a moving DNA reunion story leads Mike back to memories of his beloved grandfather and a childhood reel-to-reel recorder. Plus, vintage Stardust dreams, a Chicago buffet with questionable presentation, and Al Pacino’s greatest overreaction in several languages.

Sunrise. Chair. Banana. Three little words turn Mike’s routine wellness check into a memory test he insists nobody explained properly, with a clock drawing, a helpful picture on the wall, and enough ammunition to keep Robb and Josh entertained all day. Then another baseball scheduling fiasco sends Mike toward Sarasota for the wrong game—and gets him blocked from the very thread containing the explanation. The boys debate the cost of watching football, the perils of sports betting, and why “I almost won my parlay” still means you lost. Josh builds an AI assistant to tackle emails, podcast problems, and a brutally honest audit of his baseball predictions, while a chat-room question reopens some old wounds. Plus, TV recommendations, Wonka voices, an offensive lineman’s big catch, a dad’s heroic save, and a cat with its own slot machine.
