It’s the king of Hollywood, America’s dad, and one of two famous people to come out of Concord, CA (along with Eddie, of course!): TOM HANKS is the Highbrow/Lowbrow flavor of the week. We discuss his acting, directing AND writing prowess through two of his most memorable projects: his first Oscar-winning role in PHILADELPHIA (1993) and his musical passion project THAT THING YOU DO (1996).

For this episode, we deep dive into the incredibly talented & captivating Kate Hudson, and two of her films: the hilarious & heartwarming Bride Wars (2009), and her Oscar-nominated role in the classic, Almost Famous (2000).

On this week’s episode, we celebrate the charming, nerdy yet brilliant Jesse Eisenberg, and two of his films: the could’ve-been-great horror flick Cursed (2004), and arguably his best work to date, the Oscar-winning masterpiece, The Social Network (2010).

On today’s episode, Matthew and Eddie rant and rave over the superstar actor Michael Keaton and his superhero roles in BIRDMAN (2014) and BATMAN (1989). The boys discuss the parallels between both films and why they are such a great showcase for his plethora of talents.

This week, it’s ‘All About Sandy’, as Matthew and Eddie dive into two of Sandra Bullock’s most iconic roles to date: her Oscar-nominated turn in the outer space epic, GRAVITY, and her puzzling choice to play Mary Magdalene Horowitz in the 2009 flop, ALL ABOUT STEVE.

On the very first episode of Highbrow/Lowbrow, Matthew and Eddie celebrate the incomparable Eddie Murphy by taking a look at two of his most infamous roles on screen: his award-winning turn as James Thunder Early in the 2006 movie-musical hit, Dreamgirls, and his confusing, potentially career killing role in the 2007 flop, Norbit.

Welcome to Highbrow / Lowbrow!

Highbrow: Scholarly. Rarefied. Refined.

Lowbrow: Lacking in taste, culture, and intelligence.
