Pop Culture Continuum

A generic title for an episode without a theme, unless you know of some link between Lost and Errol Morris documentaries. And if you do, please don’t tell us.

John & Pat look at the Oscars from 30 years ago and compare them to the current year (312 B.C.). Will the same dumb actors show up on both lists? I totally copied & pasted that from our previous episode description!

John and Pat look at the Emmys from 20 years ago and compare them to the current year (312 B.C.). Will the same dumb actors show up on both lists? You’ll be surprised! (Actually, it’s an awards show, so you won’t)

John & Pat take time to honor two of our greatest actors, lost too soon. Greater actors even, perhaps, than John & Pat themselves. Plus, an inter-podcast shoutout to one of our cutthroat competitors – you have to listen all the way to the end to find out who! LUCKY.

While this episode makes no mention of cows or the lazy noises they make, the title is nevertheless indisputable, so don’t come to us with complaints of false advertising. Focus on getting your own houses in order, freaks!

John & Pat get wistful about the concerts they’ve seen, the concerts they missed, and probably some random nonsense, as well. Who can remember in this economy?

John & Pat learn to stop blaming the universe for their problems and start blaming themselves, since they chose these movies. A positive move in terms of therapy, but not so much in terms of entertainment. Join us for the thrills, won’t you?

John & Pat look back across half a century only to determine it’s all basically the same crap, only more so now.

John & Pat use their precious time – and influence – to inform you of 2 of the most overlooked and forgotten gems in cinema history. You’re welcome. Send cash via Venmo. k thx byeeeee!

John & Pat compare the Emmy nominations from 30 years ago with this year’s in an effort to determine how far back they started putting dramas in the comedy categories.

John & Pat are at their timeliest as they discuss series finales from 2 weeks ago and a podcast that’s been around for 16 years. Tune in to the next episode for their hot takes on Chaucer!

At long last, John & Pat complete their exhaustive study of sitcoms set in high school. Final result: Inconclusive.

John proves yet again he has his finger on the pulse of the nation by badmouthing “Yellowstone” and “Succession”, while Pat Pats it up in his usual jovial manner. Plus: Telecommunications be complicated!

John and Pat attempt to finally answer the age-old question: is it better to feel sad or happy? The answer may shock and astound you!

John and Pat celebrate a milestone by completely forgetting about it and not celebrating at all, thus fulfilling the final requirement in their ascension to Buddha Nature.

David returns for a bonus Halloween episode – because in 2020, time is entirely meaningless. (Watch One Cut of the Dead before watching this episode! Seriously! Also, don’t read about it before watching it. Just go watch it now!)

John once again forces Pat to critique the musical heroes of his youth. Pat once again fails to rise to the challenge.

David returns for a look at film noir – one considered a classic of the genre, one that’s better known for its theme song. Have fun figuring out which is which!

Our annual look at the best songs of the first half of the year coming to you at the traditional midway point of the year. September! Watch out for our 4th of July Retrospective on November 1st!

In their constant effort to constantly stay relevant John & Pat watch two sitcoms that premiered before podcasts existed.
