Ep. 122 - Tim Robbins (feat. Laura Bennecke)

The Munsons take on the towering, eclectic career of Tim Robbins—actor, director, activist, and, depending on who you ask, an unofficially blacklisted MLB Hall of Fame figure. We explore Robbins' deep New York sports fandom—Mets, Rangers, and maybe Jets?—and revisit his Quarterback Princess days to assess whether he’s believable as a 6’5 high school QB. James weighs in with a definitive take on whether Robbins could ever convincingly pull off a frat bro, while the rest of the crew debates if he carries enough charisma to be a true leading man.

We trace a recurring theme in his filmography: playing the broken husband, and dive into his Oscar-winning turn in Mystic River—should he have won over two former Munsons? Plus, we’re all surprisingly intrigued by the dystopian mystery series Silo on AppleTV, and wonder if it might be Robbins’ next great chapter.

How does he rank on the Munson Meter? Listen to find out.
