Oscar freaks, this one's for you. Fans of 1940s Big Band music, we're very sorry. In this episode, Andrew and Dan spend an hour discussing their predictions for every category being presented at this weekend's Academy Awards. And then they spend a solid 20 minutes learning some genuinely interesting music history about this song from the long-forgotten Harry James. This is what the podcast is! Don't act like you don't like this!
For the final episode of the podcast(!), Andrew has a little surprise in store for Dan. First, a brief visit to the world-changing year of 2001, followed by a bit of subterfuge, a meme, and a soulful young redhead. This week's number one is inescapable.
All good things must come to an end. Which is why Chuck Berry's juvenile novelty hit about his own penis seems to have never ended. This week, Andrew and Dan discuss...uh...this one. And also, the...uh...kind of stuff Chuck Berry was into. Also, this is...uh...the second to last episode of the podcast.
Ringy dingy ding! That's the sound of a new year being rung. Which of course means Andrew and Dan are going to spend an hour plus talking about LAST year and all their favorite albums. Specifically ten of them. A Top Ten, if you will.
That time has come again. The time for Andrew and Dan too look upon the American public and ask, "You like this? This? Really? Ok!" Billboard's Top Ten of the year gets the old NOWAB treatment on this special year-end episode. Tune in next week for Andrew and Dan's personal picks of their fave music of the year!
At the height of the hippie movement, when young people couldn't get enough of mop-topped young lads with goofy grins, a couple enterprising young men in Los Angeles were inspired to make their foray into the music scene. And they were fueled by the greatest artistic inspiration of all— a marketing opportunity. This week, we're talking Monkees.
As they burrow deeper into the Christmas Season (aka Oscar Season), Andrew and Dan travel back to the mid-50s for one of the most mid-50s songs there ever was. From the good folks who brought you "Lollipop" and Being Extremely White, it's a song about a sleep demon who gets you a boyfriend. Also, Dan recounts a foggy memory of a mid-90s comedy for way too long. It can be viewed here.
Everybody, put your bunnies back in your respective boxes. Because this week, Andrew and Dan are talking about a classic 1990s love ballad from one of the most romantic movies of all time-- Con Air. We also discuss, fighting the moonlight, another version of this song, and of course Godzilla.
Now that we're all stuff with turkey and fattened up for the holiday season, it's time to gyrate and twist to some truly filthy dancing. With our friends P Swayze and J Grey! And also the people who sang this song, an old man and famous duet lady! Please enjoy this episode where Dan teaches Andrew about some Havana Nights.
They did it. The maniacs finally did it. After alluding to an obscure early 90s family dramedy on several episodes over five years, Andrew and Dan finally sat down and dicussed the 1991 film Dutch, starring Ed O'Neil and Ethan Embry. Why? Because it's Thanksgiving ya goof! Watch Dutch with your family and then enjoy us two losing our minds over what an insane movie it is. Justice For Working Class Millionaires!
Elvis. Ever heard of him? Well, we have to. Mostly from movies and TV and all of music history and also the last three episodes we did on the guy. But guess what? We're doing another one! This week, Andrew and Dan dicuss chicken tenders and how much Elvis love them.
