Returning The Andy Plex alumnus Ryan Grassmeyer is back to discuss "Home for the Holidays" (1995). Why does this film endure at 30? Why is it a Thanksgiving and holiday masterpiece? It marks Jodie Foster's sophomore directorial outing. After winning 2 acting oscars and now entering her 30s, Jodie looks to take on the rediscovering of ourselves into adulthood through the lens of returning home to our families at 30. Holy Hunter loses her job in Chicago and returns home to Baltimore for Thanksgiving. Her journey is personal yet one we all go through. At 100 mins, this film is lean and jam packed with family drama, dysfunction, laughs, and tear jerks. Thanksgiving doesn't have enough films about it, and this one may just take the cake...ah...Turkey.

Joining Andy to talk about his decades long journey into the film business is actor and stuntman - Kevin Mangold! Most recently Kevin breathed life (death?) into Slimer in Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024). Andy is a massive Ghostbusters fan and these two wax (slime?) poetic about the franchise and what it means to be a part of it. Together they look at Slimer's arc in the new film, and the process of playing him physically and mentally/spiritually.
Kevin began acting and doing stunts in tv and film since he was a teenager. Here he talks about his journey to LA, how he got started, and what he's been up to lately.
