The PodCostner is on the precipice of a trip to the promised land. But before we play, we get down to the hard work of talking about one of the unsung heroes of the Costnerverse, Stephen Simmons. Costner's character in The War is every bit the conflicted hero that a Marvel comic book might portray. It is too bad then that his Achilles heel turns out to be giant boulders! What is funny about being crushed to death by falling rocks you might ask? You had better just click play and find out.

In this very special episode, the PodCostner tackles a lot of very special topics.  Thats right 90's sitcom fans, we are talking about drugs.  Crack mostly, but also alcohol.  Black or White brings us our first version of drunk Costner along with a whole heap of racial and diversity issues that we have thus far not been required to address directly.  But we will cower no longer behind our microphones.  The world needs more opinions from three middle aged white men like it needs to breath!  We are the voice of the Costnerverse and we must not shrink in the cause.  There are afterall "white saviors" that need our criticisms and alcoholisms that need our enabling.  Also Jeff brought presents!  

Well we finally did it...we really jumped the shark on this one.  If you have followed us this far hopefully you can indulge us in some good natured shenanigans.  Hopefully you can look the other way on some "creative license".  Hopefully...we don't get sued.
Lately we have been opining a film that takes our muse to the stars, a vehicle that would take Costner to space.  We could wait no longer.   Join us for an AI inspired/created adventure to the friggin Moon ya'll!   

In a nod to a hero from our pasts that isn't Costner we took a different path this week.   A side quest to Applebee's led to a date with destiny at our local AMC theatre to see the hopefully final entry into the Indiana Jones saga.  Only the second time we have reviewed a movie currently in theatre's we should include a very heavy SPOILER ALERT for not only this movie but also the trash bin that is The Flash as we basically give away the end of that too on accident.   So push play on this episode, apply your Aspercreme, take a few Advils and GET OFF OUR LAWN!  

Will we be discussing the Joss Whedon version of Justice League at any time in the future? Absolutely fucking not because that film doesn't exist anymore!!! Do we have to do another episode for the black and white version of this film titled Justice is Gray?  No that would be insane.  Did we even have to do a review of THIS film?  Probably not.  We here at the PodCostner go up, up and above and beyond to bring you our thoughts on every tasty little Costner morsel we can get our hands on.  Enjoy our rundown of the longest (and dare we say best) superhero film of all time.  Even if its only connection to the Costnerverse is a creepy disembodied voice towards the very end that was obviously reused from a previous film. 

Space Costner, the final frontier.   This is an episode from the podcast PodCostner.  Its continuing mission is to seek out new content from older content and boldly watch what you the listener may not have watched before.   That being said, Costner doesn't actually go to space in film, but in Hidden Figures he gets to make sure someone does.  So do the math, keep fighting and listen to three white guys tip toe around some pretty heavy civil rights issues while trying to be light and fun because after all this is a Disney film so reality gets a heavy dose of happily ever after.   

This weeks episode features a loaf about just looking for his floozy, and a heavy dose of spy craft drama with a Shamamalanesque twist for the ages..  No Way Out requires a HUGE SPOILER ALERT!  Usually in with a movie that is over 36 years of age we wouldn't care but if you have yet to see this film...maybe watch it real quick before you listen to us ruin this amazing film.  It's available on HBO so get on it!  That being said, we dedicate this review to the life and artistic achievements of the singular talent of cinematographer John Alcott.  He might not have filmed the moon landing but also...maybe he did? 

A true fellow Costner Completist would not let the name of this episode fool them...but lets be honest here, we know we are rare breed.  For the rest of you the true title of the movie this week is Stacys Knights, or is it Double Down?  Or perhaps Winning Streak?  We can answer that for you if you'd care to listen to us blather on about movie that started it all for Kevin...or you could skip this episode and just google it.  But if you're still reading this episode description you might as well push play and get this one out of the way just like Costner did.  For even the tallest of redwoods grow from the humblest seed.
