The Burt Reynolds Special Vol. 1

I invited some friends to come on the Cinema Shame Podcast to
celebrate the life and work of Burt Reynolds. In the first of two
episodes dedicated to the Bandit, my guests and I talk
about White Lightning, Gator, Smokey and the
Bandit, Semi-Tough and Starting Over and just
about everything in between. The river of Burt love runs deep.
