Episode 179 - Lots of Thumbs Going Right Up There

This is a slightly p-popping episode, and I apologize for that...but it's a fun one, if you can get over that! I talk about Only Murders in the Building, The Three Amigos, and The Great Race, then music from Taylor Swift, Joni Mitchell, Khruangbin, and Pearl Jam. Plus some personal stuff, of course. This episode also contains a few samples of songs from my upcoming record "Boop," which comes out on May 3! Hope you dig it!

Photos:

Here's the cover photo, for your collection.

You're damn right I covered up Chevy Chase with Selena Gomez. Both because I needed an image to represent Only Murders in the Building, and because it's funny. I also talk about Three Amigos. So...there's a lot happening here.

One of my all-time favorite movies. How is it not in the Criterion Collection yet? (I know there's a million reasons it might not be...but still.)

New Taylor. Some of you are going to hate my review. Some of you will be like, "That's reasonable." Sorry the photo is a little blurry. I used my phone's "erase reflections" setting and it didn't work great. Didn't notice it until now and I don't care enough to fix it.

Joni and Newport. The review is in the show... But am I the only one who thinks she looks a little like Hillary Clinton in this shot? Just at a glance?

Khruangbin - A la Sala - Really beautiful record. Really difficult to pronounce name.

New Pearl Jam! And it's GOOD Pearl Jam! Yay!
