the wonder years

What would you do if our show was out of tune? Would you stand up and turn us off? We're talking about The Wonder Years this week, a show that was extremely important to us. We were the exact same age and at the same point in life as the main characters, Kevin, Winnie, and Paul. It was our original water cooler show in middle school, especially as we discussed the relationship between Fred Savage's Kevin and Danica McKellar's Winnie. But how does it hold up and how do we view it now as adults?

Our drafts are back! This week we draft the best Coming of Age shows and movies. It's a broad subject with many options. Listen to hear if anything got heated or controversial!

When award-winning comedian Liz Glazer watched The Wonder Years as a kid, she thought she was seeing, for the first time a kid just like her: one who knew even as he lived his life that he'd one day look back on all this wistfully. This simple (mis?)interpretation of the show foreshadowed the type of adult she'd grow into: a comedian who is able to weave tragic experience into comedy with ease. 

After Jordan and Liz's conversation, Jordan has one quick thing about the  new John Cena/Jackie Chan pairing we've all been waiting for (right?).

Welcome to an all-new Films for the Void, Bonus Episode #17! In this episode, Landon interviews Jamie Coletta - a Los Angeles based expert in all things artist management and public relations. As a former publicity staffer for SideOneDummy Records, their responsibility stemmed to getting some of the last decade’s most successful indie alternative-punk releases heard, including those by Jeff Rosenstock, PUP, Chris Farren, AJJ, and many more. However, after the label restructured, they spent very little time getting the ball rolling on the next iteration of their journey. And that next step came in the form of No Earbuds – their own endeavor that combines marketing, artist management, and publicity, putting them all under one roof, as they currently represent artists such as The Wonder Years, Origami Angel, Foxing, Bartees Strange, and John-Allison Weiss. You can learn more about their work at noearbuds.com.

Landon and Jamie talk about growing up in Rhode Island, the TRL pipeline, getting their start in punk, going independent, marriage, and parenthood, along with some of their favorite movies - all on the latest episode of Films for the Void!

Welcome to an all-new Films for the Void, Bonus Episode #13! In this episode, Landon interviews Mo Doron - a Chicago-based graphic designer and photographer whose past artist collaborations include Evanescence, Four Year Strong, JER, Seaway, and Bearings. As a wearer of many hats in the DIY music scene, you may recognize them from self-starting Support Your Fellow Rockers, an organization that connects bands and artists in indie circles with resources while on tour. More than likely, however, you probably know them as the brand manager and graphic designer for a 3-Day Chicago-based punk rock music festival taking place September 16-18 at Douglass Park with headlining performances from My Chemical Romance, The Misfits, and Nine Inch Nails. You can find them on Twitter @_MODORO and their portfolio is available on their website modoro.co. Landon and Mo chat about sneaking out to go to house shows in Minneapolis, loving the Midwest, managing the brand for a beloved music festival, and some of their favorite movies of all-time - all on the latest episode of Films for the Void!

If there's one thing Hollywood loves doing it's killing us all and given the current state of our world I think we should let them. The first disaster movie, 1936's SAN FRANCISCO, was about the earthquake which ripped that city apart back in 1908 and that sort of interesting trivia is exactly the kind of thing you won't get any more of as we discuss our Top 5 Disaster movies. What you will get is incredible special effects, Gerard Butler, ham-fisted environmental messages, Roland Emmerich, dubious science, mile high tsunamis repeatedly crashing into the New York skyline and a Michael Bay movie which divides us all.
 
Adam McKay's movies have a habit of making an impact on us and the recently released DON'T LOOK UP with its five time Oscar winning cast and cinematography by Linus Sandgren (LA LA LAND, NO TIME TO DIE) was one we had to watch. The plot sees mulleted astrophysicist Kate Dibiasky (Jennifer Lawrence) discover a comet on a direct collision course with earth, which is where we live. You and I. Attempting to alert the world to the imminent and very real danger, Dibiasky and her professor, Dr Randall Mindy (Leonardo DiCaprio) face challenges greater than merely a President reluctant to do anything about the problem before the mid-terms. This one seems to have polarized critics, let's see what it does to the dads.
 
"What would you do if I sang out of tune?" yes just the opening bars of The Beatle's classic With A Little Help From My friends as belted out by gravel-throated English rocker Joe Crocker should be enough to conjure up memories of THE WONDER YEARS. We're talking about the new Disney+ reboot which centres around the Williams family in Alabama in 1968, as we experience pivotal moments in the American black civil rights movement through the eyes of 12 year old Dean (Elisha "EJ" Williams) who fell madly in love with a girl he met on the first day of school and desperately wants to avoid being embarrassed during baseball.
