Ep. 132 - Woody Harrelson (feat. Dames Marves of Loch 22 Productions)
Episode 132
Thursday, 5 March, 2026
The Munsons are joined by Dames Marvs of Loch 22 Productions and The Dames Marvs Show to celebrate a legend, a namesake, and—most importantly—Aubrey’s anniversary. That’s right, we finally cover the man who played Roy E. Munson, the spiritual godfather of Munsons at the Movies: Woody Harrelson. We dive headfirst into his absolutely wild family history, including a father who was a contract killer and rumored to have ties to the JFK assassination (casual dinner table conversation, we’re sure). From there, we celebrate Woody’s breakout run on Cheers—over 200 episodes and five Emmy nominations—before marveling at one of the shortest marriages we’ve ever encountered: his blink-and-you-miss-it union with Neil Simon’s daughter. The man moves fast. We can’t stop gushing about White Men Can’t Jump and Woody’s effortless charm in it, and we’re genuinely impressed by how quietly he’s stacked up three Oscar nominations while building an acting résumé that shows surprising range. Whether he’s living his best life in Maui and Texas with his family, running his marijuana business, or simply staying unapologetically himself (“The man has never pretended to be something he’s not outside of work.” – James), Woody feels like one of the most authentic stars we’ve covered. We even take a moment to imagine what it would look like if he randomly showed up in a Lord of the Rings movie—because why not? After tallying the Munson Meter, we come to a surprising realization: Woody Harrelson might actually be underrated. Before this episode, we’re not sure we would’ve even called him an A-lister. Now? We’re not so sure we wouldn’t.
