As You Know

With "Tony" arriving in theaters this week, we opted to have a freewheeling discussion on the beloved Anthony Bourdain and his final television series, Parts Unknown. Join us as we talk about his exploration of Myanmar during its brief period of opening up, and then the elegiac finale about Manhattan's Lower East Side and whether or not it would have actually sucked to hang out in the East Village in the late 70s.

For the first time we take a look at very specific type of television program: the animated spinoff of a contemporary film that may or may not have been appropriate for children, or even a particularly popular or well-liked movie. In this case, Godzilla: The Series, based on Roland Emmerich's reviled Godzilla (1998). What if Godzilla was your friend and fought other monsters? And had a diverse team of distinct personalities guiding him, plus a robot? Join us for a laser focused discussion.

Let's attempt to untangle the mess of a franchise that none of us are even sure if we like that much by discussing Star Wars: Clone Wars--the only canon non-movie from before the Disney merger. What are your favorite Star Wars names? Would Yoda be an ethical hooper? Does Star Wars still need to exist? We try to answer those questions and more.

We're going to podcast at the Rivoli! Fresh off the success of Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie, we trek up north to discuss the Canadian cult series from which it spawned. Much like the film, we have so many questions about how this was made.

Easily on the shortlist of funniest TV shows ever made, 30 Rock is a show near and dear to our hearts. So join us as we try to take a closer look at it but mostly reel off our favorite jokes and gags.
