Hanks Bank

WE'RE BACK BABY. After the run of minisodes, and Al's journey across Canada, we're back chronologically reviewing Tom Hanks' entire IMDB. This week Hanks is playing a member of the Irish mob in 1920s Chicago, Daniel Craig is looking the exact same in 2002 as he does in 2020 and Jude Law is looking like a straight up creep. Also Al and Jamie catch up after three months apart and Jamie tries to remember just what the hell is going in with the Aliens. 

It's our FINAL minisode! We've already reviewed Sleepless, but what about Sleepless the MUSICAL?! We trekked all the way to Wembley to actually watch a real life (fake) Tom Hanks. How does it compare to the movie? Is it worth leaving the house? Are Jamie and Al tired of not review Tom Hanks films? Find out all this and more on this weeks on Hanks Bank.

Tom Hanks has won many awards in his life, thus he has given many acceptance speeches. Some are funny, some are moving, and some are downright bizarre, but we're gonna look at them all! (Or all the major ones at least) 

This week we review Tom Hanks' cameo on 30 Rock that finally outs him as a member of the Hollywood Illuminati. We also discuss how Tina Fey is the greatest person ever, but does her magnum opus in 30 Rock hold up? Listen to all that and more on this weeks Hanks Bank.

This week we look at when Tom Hanks went on Graham Norton with a Star Studded line up of Tom Holland, Jake Gylenhaal, Gwyneth Paltrow and Stormzy! We talk about how unrelatable all of them seem to be, the horribleness of Goop and Jamie makes various wild unsubstantiated claims about celebrities. 

Did you know there were Toy Story short films? Did you know Ken and Barbie are canonically married in the Toy Story universe? DID YOU KNOW ABOUT OUR LORD AND SAVIOR PARTYSAURUS REX? Learn about all that and more on today's Hanks Bank!

As Al continues to trek across Canada, we go back and right a wrong. Initially we only reviewed season 1 on Bosom Buddies, which caused much pain in Jamie's heart. So we resolved to go back and re-review Season 2 (or at least the final episode of it), which caused even more pain in Al's heart. Listen in to hear Al be tortured once more by mediocre comedy and as he starts his vendetta against an entire decade

In this weeks (not so mini) minisode we have special guest and Carly Rae Jepsen superfan Miles Hurley to discuss that time Tom Hanks appeared in a music video for no good reason. Also we investigate why Miles has never listened to the podcast and whether or not this music video takes place in an alternate universe where Tom Hanks is cheating on his wife. 

This week we review Tom Hanks on desert island discs, and if we do say so ourselves, this might be the most Tom Hanks-y episode we've ever had! We discuss his career, his motivations, and Jamie spent an hour editing it so all the songs are included in the episode as well so you better bloody well listen! 

Look it might not be halloween, but frankly this isn't that scary either. We're doing everything David S Pumpkins this week! Did you know there was also a full 20 minute animated special dedicated to David S Pumpkins as well? Well you'll wish you didn't after listening to this episode 

In our first MINISODE we review Tom Hanks giving a key note speech at a Sony CES 2009, and truly not caring at all. He is there because he is contractually obliged to and performs as such. We also find out what we think Al will be doing right about now. 

Ho-Ho-Hanks? That's right, for one night, and one night early, Al and Jamie are watching the most Tom Hanks movie ever made - a film in which at one point, Tom Hanks was meant to play every single role. So crack open a cold one, neglect your loved ones, sit back and enjoy, as this 2004 Christmas movie blows their damned minds. 

The boys are back in early Hanks Bank style, reviewing something that Tom Hanks is barely in! So, it's a nice opportunity to have a couple letters, review the situation with the aliens, and most importantly Jamie does the most impressive thing in Hanks Bank History. 

Do you think Jamie and Al are done talking about the gnarly 90s? AS IF! The two totally radically dudes kick back and take a look at Tom Hanks most prolific decade. Boo Yah!

Tom Hanks is trapped on an island this week and Al and Jamie are trapped together to record a podcast. Join us for an adventure of Tom Hanks grimacing, groaning and occasionally grumbling! Also, a new segment is introduced and Al tries to gaslight Jamie. 

Tom Hanks has a UTI in this film and boy howdy do they want you to know about it! So strap in as the boys review a film which as a solid 3% of its runtime dedicated to Tom Hanks struggling to piss! Also there's electric chairs and some magic and stuff. But mostly it's the pissing

We're back with our buddies Woody and Buzz this week! Will Al redeem himself after his heinous fault of not putting Toy Story in his Hanks Bank? Also, Al reveals something to Jamie that makes him shriek even more than usual. Finally, make sure to stick around at the end to listen to our first failed attempt at starting the podcast. 

Let us take you back. Back to a time of chatrooms, book shops and the undeniable chemistry of Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. That's right it's RomCom time again! Jamie is once again exposed for the FakeGamerGirlTM he truly is, there are duelling Friends Foughts and we bring in Alyssa to stick up for her favourite film of all time, inadvertently almost ruining Al's relationship. 

*insert war quote here* That's right baby it's finally time to Save lil ol' Private Ryan. Young Matt Damon and our boy Tom get in on WWII style and the boys deal with existential questions of the value of life. Also Jamie brings back an old segment with a new theme song! 

Tom Hanks puts his producer cap on this week to make a DocuDrama about the Apollo Space program! We discuss whether space travel is important or even hard, Al rewrites our theme song and we dispute just what the hell "DocuDrama" means!
