This month, Dave fixed Ron’s guitar, Ron has another new cat, and Dave has a new mic (which is sooo sensitive!)
We started off discussing Christmas gifts we’d like to give Trump, then our ideas for Christmas movies, and wrapped up with a movie review for Archenemy
Today is THNKSGVNGaii in America so we thought we’d open up with things we’re thankful for in 2020! Hey – not everyone we know is dead (yet)!
We also cover guitar rock – is it dead or just no longer alive?
There’s a movie review of Fantasy (which I was going to link to but you try looking up a movie called Fantasy – all you get are fantasy movies!), and stick around for the discussion about microwave pizza
Two all beet patties, lettuce sauce, special cheese, picking onions on a Sesame Street bun!
This is supposed to be last month’s show but I forgot about it. I though I had already uploaded it! We recorded it on the 11th or something
Anyway, we talk about… well, you’ll just have to listen to it to find out. I know we discussed Daylight Savings time because that was near the end. Other than that, I have no clue. Also, it’s late and I need to go to bed. It’s just after 8:30 PM!
So, this month, we double down on creating yet another below average podcast!
This episode guest stars some birds (Dave had his window open), Dave’s cat, and probably Ron’s dog but maybe I edited that section out
Dreams – some people just don’t know how to talk about dreams. Dreams are absurd and surrealist and fun. Tell us about them! But don’t get too bogged down in the details or we will check out
Too Late – We both got into the Smithereens recently. Pat Dinizio, the singer, died a few years ago, so we’ll never get to see him perform with them. We discuss other things we were too late for, like hearing about a movie after it just left theaters, etc
Movie review: Bill and Ted Can’t Stop Face the Music
And after we ended the first time, we did a little digression about the Orange Cheeto in Chief, so I added it in
The Blues Brothers turns 40 this year, and since we’re also in our forties, we decided to do a full episode on it
Every professional reviewer worth their salt will have something to say about this film. What could we add? Surprisingly little, but we still managed to talk about it for a f***ing hour
We discussed how our dads are stratigraphically bonded to this film, how well it has held up, how dying young saves people from criticism, how great the music is, how terrible most of the games based on it are, and a few other things I can’t remember
We also touched on mayonnaise obsession, Ron’s new significantly better podcast (The DNR Podcast!), and… uh… something else? New hobbies? I think I cut that section
Couch 76 has landed! We managed 2 this month! Consider it a bonus episode. It’s a little short after I cut over 30 minutes of me pointlessly rambling about money, taxes, AirBnB’s, etc. This is what happens when Ron doesn’t have any topics!
Anyway, we cover AirBnB’s again, sports teams changing their names, and “Are We Turning Into our Parents?”
Also, Ron covers Stick, a decent Burt Reynolds movie from his “I can do more than just comedy!” period
Songs That You Like That You Don’t Want to Admit That You Like: Ron and Dave share some of their favorites – some are guilty pleasures, some ‘politically incorrect’, and some are songs that should be good but dammit, they just aren’t!
Online Concerts: Is there a point? Is this the future? Dave brings the musician’s perspective and Ron brings the comedian’s
Dead Genre: Most genres never die, they just go out of fashion for a while. But some don’t come back. Prime Time Variety TV, for instance. Why did it never come back? Plus, a deeper discussion of other dead genres
Finally, a review of Killer Looks (1994), a borderline softcore porno. 5.6 review on IMDB! See what Ron and his wife think about it. Is it an underrated gem?
It’s Christmas here in these parts, doncha know? We celebrate Christmas all year long ’round these parts. Christmas is always in our hearts. In other words, our Christmas episode is 4 months late. Oops!
Not much Yuleing in our Christmas episode, though. So what did we fill the void with?
Virtual Nascar! Better Podcasts than This One! What Will You Do when Society Falls! Do you Know Your Neighbors!
Also, Walter Lure, Cult Movies, and National Lampoon!
