Show Description:
Remember your first happy hour? Saturday mornings—when you’d wake up with the sun, grab a bowl of chocolatey cereal, and lose yourself in a world of cartoons, commercials, and pure, unfiltered joy. We’re still chasing that feeling, one episode at a time.

Join hosts Grim Shea, Marke, Jimmy “The Gent,” and Johnny Heck as they launch a brand-new chapter of Saturday Morning Cereal—now on Spreaker and wherever you get your pods.

In this hostfull episode (no guests, just your Saturday Morning squad), we pay tribute to the cinematic legend, Gene Hackman. From Superman to Hoosiers, from The French Connection to The Royal Tenenbaums, Gene helped shape the movies that raised us. To honor the man, we roll up our sleeves and draft The Gene Hackman Movies We Grew Up With—one pick at a time.

It’s a nostalgic, heartfelt, and slightly competitive look at the films that made Hackman a household name and a generational icon.

So pour a bowl, press play, and let’s Hackman it up.

A Tribute to the Man, the Myth, the Legend!
