Sports & Movies + Bullsh** with Alex Zappa
Hosted by Alex Zappa · EN
Host Alex Zappa is a reporter, producer, and actor based out of Minnesota.
This podcast is, amongst other things, to talk about Sports & Movies + some Bullsh**.
He is, arguably, qualified because he's been a fairly average reporter for Bally Sports North; a regional Sports network in Minnesota that covers the Timberwolves, Wild, Twins, and Lynx.
He apparently produces shows for both the Timberwolves and Wild, and you might have seen him on TV reporting on them too. But that's not important.
Neither are his 4 credentials on IMDB as an actor, because anyone who's anyone knows anyone can get on IMDB.
But, he was 8th on the call sheet for the Hulu smash hit MERRY KISS CAM, but if you actually looked at the movies IMDB, or watched the movie, you'd never know. He has proof, but proof you will never see.
If this hasn't been enough Bullsh** already, he'll typically end each episode spouting off about whatever bullsh** has caught his attention that week.
You might learn something, you hopefully will be entertained- that is out promise.
Salute.
