Episode Description

What is the greatest movie ever shown on cable TV?

 

In this episode of Hoot’n & Holler’n, we build the Ultimate Cable TV Movie Bracket to settle one of the most important debates in television history: which movie dominated basic cable for decades?

 

From action classics to endlessly replayed comedies, we debate and rank the movies that basically lived on TBS, TNT, USA, and FX. The bracket includes cable staples like The Shawshank Redemption, Forrest Gump, Jurassic Park, The Fugitive, Die Hard, Armageddon, Back to the Future, Ghostbusters, Speed, Twister, Mrs. Doubtfire, Tombstone, A Few Good Men, Pretty Woman, Dirty Dancing, Air Force One, Remember the Titans, Rudy, Dumb and Dumber, and more.

 

Some of these movies are genuine all-time classics.

Some of them just felt like classics because cable TV played them 4,000 times a year.

 

Along the way we ask the important questions:

Which movie actually deserves the title of Greatest Cable Movie Ever?

Which one only seemed bigger because we saw it every Saturday afternoon?

And which cable TV legend gets knocked out way too early?
