This week on Deep Cuts: The Game, Jeff Penn is joined by co-host Alex Young, returning champion Brantley Palmer, and special guest Dean Cameron—a true ’80s comedy icon with a résumé that screams cult classic cool.

The game pulls from three very different cinematic worlds: one rowdy classroom comedy that defined a generation of slacker students, one sun-soaked mall hangout that perfectly captured teen life in Southern California, and one sharply written indie debut that follows a group of post-college friends stuck between big dreams and bigger indecision.

Expect deep dives into character actors, “oh yeah, that guy!” moments, and plenty of laughs as the players dig for the deepest cuts they can find. Things may get competitive, Alex may get distracted, and Dean brings some firsthand insight from inside one of the most beloved comedies of the era.

Class is in session, the mall is calling, and adulthood can wait—press play and see who earns the points.

This week, we’re joined by actor Corin Nemec, a true child-of-the-’80s screen icon whose career connects some of the most beloved coming-of-age stories ever put on film. Before saving galaxies and outsmarting authority figures with a trademark grin, he was part of a generation of young performers who helped define adventure, friendship, and growing up on screen.

We chat about early career moments, behind-the-scenes memories, and how those formative roles shaped a long and varied run in film and television. Along the way, we touch on his time outwitting adults in a cult-favorite teen sitcom, stepping into sci-fi history through a certain interstellar franchise, and appearing on classic television alongside one of the most recognizable kids of the era.

Then it’s game time. Corin jumps into Deep Cuts: The Game, where the clues revolve around three iconic stories about dreams, discovery, and the bonds of youth. Expect deep-cut actors, wild memory pulls, and plenty of nostalgic detours as we see just how far back everyone’s movie memory really goes.

This week on Deep Cuts: The Game, Alex Young, Darren Oliver, and Dan Riskin join the fun as we celebrate one very specific brand of seasonal mayhem—missed connections, questionable family vacations, and the kind of vacation plans that never go as expected.

From iconic winter mishaps to endlessly quotable moments and unforgettable supporting players, the crew dives into three beloved holiday classics connected by one legendary presence. Along the way, they unpack why these stories still hit, which scenes live rent-free in our heads, and how one actor managed to define holiday frustration, heart, and humor all at once.

It’s loud, it’s heartfelt, it’s deeply nostalgic—and no one will ever believe you if you say you watched these without laughing.

Grab some eggnog, brace yourself for the chaos, and press play.

This week, Jeff is joined by co-host Alex Young, returning wildcard Sam Berry, and the unstoppable Swiss-Army-human Dave Hill. Together, they plunge headfirst into a trio of music-soaked cinematic worlds—one mockumentary that goes to eleven, one coming-of-age rock odyssey on the road with legends, and one devilishly epic quest for the ultimate riff.

Expect questionable band names, chaotic tour stories, and enough deep-cut trivia to melt an amp. Tune in for laughs, surprises, and a showdown that proves rock and roll truly never dies… it just gets weirder.

This week, we’re shaking things up at the table! Alex slides into the host’s chair while Jeff jumps into the hot seat to battle it out against returning champs Craig Smeaton and actor Abe Goldfarb.

Get ready for a trio of films filled with musical mayhem, Broadway energy, magical mischief, and one very modern spin on a classic story. And of course, we’re spotlighting the deep-cut performers who make these worlds sing — the character actors, scene-stealers, puppet-masters, and comedy ninjas you might’ve forgotten you loved.

Expect chaos, karaoke-level commitment, and maybe even a little fairytale shade as Alex puts this week’s players through the wringer. Tune in — this one’s a showstopper.

This week, Jeff and co-host Alex Young are joined by actor William McNamara (star of Copy Cat, Stealing Home and Chasers) and filmmaker Amanda Jane Stern (Perfectly Good Moment)for a deep dive into cinematic stories that balance heart, rebellion, and redemption. From bittersweet nostalgia to chaotic camaraderie.

Join us for a conversation that shines a light on the faces you know—but might not fully know. From breakout performances that defined a generation to scene-stealing turns that flew under the radar, this episode digs into the craft, the chaos, and the quiet brilliance of the deep cut actors who brought these stories to life.
