In this episode we jump from Hardbodies to Boogie Nights, covering the full emotional spectrum of cinema.

We dive into surprising Britannica facts, including the Hindenburg’s survival rate and the rejected dwarfs of Snow White.

We got TWO new segments:

• Cass's pick for which country has the best flag
• We discuss our most-hated Gilmore Girls characters

Then air out life’s minor grievances: shaving, socks, and shoes.

And get nuts with an especially strong batch of band names, including the titular “Original Foot Owner.”

We give our respects to Mani and spotlight our recent music discoveries (Geese, Lilys, Westside Cowboy, Blue Zero, Magic Fig).

And then unpack the sudden “return” of physical media, specifically Blu-rays and then wonder why people can't just have opinions about movies, music, etc. that suck.

"Can't Things Just be Fun?" Sure, and they can also be bad.

And Our Main Topic:

Ted Gioia is a renowned American music critic, historian, jazz pianist, and composer. He is best known for his influential work in the jazz world, where he has served as a critic, historian, educator, and record producer. Gioia is the author of 12 books, including The History of Jazz, The Jazz Standards, and Music: A Subversive History, which have been widely acclaimed and translated into 11 languages.

A few weeks ago on his Substack, (The Honest Broker, which is the most widely-read music newsletter on the platform) he wrote a piece called The World Was Flat. Now It's Flattened - The state of the culture, 2025

It’s good, but we have thoughts.

“Corporations didn’t intend to make the culture stagnant and boring. All they really want is to impose standardization and predictability—because it’s more profitable.”
