While the economy and around 200 miles keep Nick and I apart, special guest Tucker Pannell (co-creator of Dot Swoof's "Fanatic Gumbo") joins me for a nostalgic journey to the day the music (or theoretical music) died, a pork-centric realization about one of today's most overrated fictional creatures, and hey!--Did you hear about the sexy pirate movie?--It was rated ARRR...you going to listen to this? ...You'd better.
One week after its remake took the #2 spot at the box office, Nick and I look back at a film that I've loved for many years, the original 1981 Dudley Moore classic "Arthur". Inevitably, a great deal of our chat consists of preemptive comparisons of the original and new casts, some love for the great Mr. Burt Bacharach, and somehow, the roles of Bob Hoskins. So, listen and enjoy, kids!--It's the most fun money can't buy!
History is made as Nick joins me in my hometown for the first time EVER! The ensuing conversation includes his gut reaction to "the Antichrist of restaurants", an afternoon with Buddy Ebsen, and a tragic/horrific stroll through a once-great dying mall. Plus, some routine self-doubt is vanquished by the return of the legendary Mr. Rip Torn! Y'all come listen now, ya hear?
In the inaugural edition of the ALL-NEW O.U.P. sub-series "The Best TV _____ of ALL-TIME!", we fill that blank with "series" in our discussion of the cult hit British horror spoof "Garth Marenghi's Darkplace". Thrill as we look at the history of the series, its place as a veritable nexus of the current British comedy universe, and the utter hilarious ridiculousness that make it one of our favorites. After all...we ARE buddies, aren't we, listener?
You know(!)...it's that time again, kids. Join Nick and myself as we assess the damage and relive the insanity that was the 83rd Annual Academy Awards! We've got winners! We've got losers! We've got senile Hollywood legends making us thoroughly uncomfortable!--It was a night we shan't soon forget. Plus, treatises in defense of two of the year's biggest Oscar nominees and some classic '80s sitcom themes! Don't miss it!
