Episode #1008: I Want Roller Disco
First Broadcast: 12/30/24
In Part One of our year-end round up (don't call it "Free New York Wrapped" because I don't know who owns the trademark on it), we talk about some of the many things that occupied our time in our episodes in 2024. Things such as: What was the best year for movies? When was our 30th anniversary? Where do you get your physical media? What are your memories of The Honeymooners? What happened to that stolen pair of ruby slippers? Is Apple's Vision Pro a good idea? What should replace the Market Line at Essex Market? How should we remember Flaco the owl? Who wants to dine at the edge of space? How did you prepare for the eclipse? Did you see the eclipse and feel the earthquake? Do you have an OMNY card? Have you seen The Blair Witch Project? What's your favorite Roger Corman movie? How much of the Web is no longer there? And Donald Trump is guilty, guilty, GUILTY! Tune in for Part Two next week!
Episode #1009: Something to do with Something
First Broadcast: 1/6/25
In Part Two of our year-end round up, we continue discussing some of the many topics that crossed our paths in the second half of 2024, such as: What if a movie changed its content every time you watched it? Did Joe Biden really do that badly in the one debate he had with Donald Trump in this campaign? Did anyone learn any lessons from the first assassination attempt on Trump? Should we have tried harder to persuade Joe Biden to stay in the race, as opposed to dropping out? Were the early days of the Harris campaign the best they were going to get? Is JD Vance a bad nerd? Is Robert F. Kennedy Jr. a man who can't be trusted around dead animals? Did you enjoy your summer movies? How did we celebrate our 1000th episode? Have you mourned any dead restaurants lately? Are we watching too many sequels? Is pretending to work the same as real work in the mind of Donald Trump? Did you get out and vote? Were you as depressed at the election results as we were? Can we at least celebrate congestion pricing and compost? And is Die Hard a Christmas movie? I can't wait to see what we talk about in 2025! Let's hope we all finish the year in one piece!
