Episode 22: Quarantine Edition, Part Deux

Published: April 22, 2020, 2 p.m.

This week’s episode begins with an important documentary clip about the current state of the world.  The guys then springboard into the old stuff they’ve been watching in the absence of much new stuff (4:34) with an enlightening digression into the 90s fascination with Tarantino, desert settings, and coin operated, vibrating hotel beds.  The (good) Terminator films spark a brief discussion about sequels, cut scenes, and commentaries (20:14), before TV talk begins (29:33), and the guys gush over how surprisingly great Dave and 80s cop movie references are in the landscape of modern television.  The entertainment news segment (38:03) includes iconic losses, cinematic leaps in technology, projected dates for theater re-openings, and more.  This episode’s Guess that Rotten Tomato score (55:17) includes the sub-genres of Nicholas Cage and Star Trek flicks.  And it all wraps up with this week’s Hidden Gems (1:12:13).  As always, thanks for listening and keep washing those hands!  Sincere apologies to the millions of listeners tuning in for a Lord of the Rings update; that segment has been pushed back to Episode 23.
