Happy to be on whenever you want! (Yes, I’m a frequent listener.) Keep on doing an awesome job.
I’ll catch you both in the future…
the 60s ‘batman’ show is one of those rare shows that despite being 50 years old, holds up on many levels – production design, characters, performances and especially the jokes. those first two 90s ‘brady bunch’ films are another rarity – comedy films that are actually funny, even though shelley long is eminently unlikable. 1992’s ‘singles’ is also one of those films that are piously 90s – i think the only element i don’t cringe at is the appearance of alice in chains. i always thought tommy ramone looked like william ‘out for justice’ forsythe. it’s a shame tom wilson is so snooty towards ‘back to the future’ – the focus on his character in part II makes that film and is my favourite of the trilogy. i though chuck norris action jeans were just an internet meme until recently. i love the old ‘jem’ cartoon and was looking forward to the film. then i saw the trailer.
Singles, Reality Bites, Swingers, all boring.
