Episode 86: Kazaam

I found out since recording that the kid in Kazaam is the same actor who played Weevil on the TV show Veronica Mars (His name is Francis Capra, no relation to the 1930's director Francis Capra.) 

That just blew my mind so much that I am having trouble writing this description. I think we talk about super heros, and Shaq some more. We also talk about Reese Witherspoon's hilarious run in with Georgia's State Police. 

I saw a kid walking down the street in Philly with a Game Genie shirt on the other day, remember that "Game Genie" add on for Nintendo? It allowed you to start at any level, and had that awesome commercial ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xi4m2qnZaY ) Hey, game Genie, Shaq was a Genie in Kazaam, and then a video game in Shaq Fu. The game Genie would have been a much better product if it allowed you to add Shaq as Kazaam as a playable character to all your video games. 

Man, Kid from Kazaam grew up to be Weevil. How crazy is that?
