Having already covered the NFL for this season last September, as well as the WNBA and golf along the way, It Happened One Year chose to tackle the rest of the sports calendar in 2000! And so, listen as Sarah & Joe tackle everything from the NBA to the Iditarod, MLB's Subway Series to the World Series of Poker, the America's Cup to the Kentucky Derby, and much much more! Then, our intrepid hosts make their yearly wacky picks for the upcoming NFL season, plus how the 2026 baseball playoffs are almost certainly just a Chicago affair.

Ushering in the era of the multi-plex in Northeast Pennsylvania, the General Cinema at the Viewmont Mall was the premiere moviegoing experience for a generation. Three screens! And two more added before the end of the 1970s! But by 2000, the theater had become a forgotten relic, and the entire GC chain was on the verge of bankruptcy, ultimately leading to its closure on a frigid Martin Luther King Jr. day in January. The Mighty IHOY Players - that illustrious group of audio actors - bring turn-of-the-century NEPA to life in a tale full of nostalgia, whimsy, popcorn, romance, sex, drugs, and Rob Schneider. Tune back in on September 15th to hear the full story - The Last Viewmont Cinema Picture Show!

No bigger way to kick off another thousand years than to revisit the man behind all the calendar hijinks himself - Jesus, airing on CBS in May of 2000! From its wild casting choices to its place in the grand run of biblical TV films of the era, Sarah & Joe dive into a freewheeling dissection of the Italian-American co-production. Were we cheated out of a much bigger career for titular portrayer Jeremy Sisto? How in the world did they get Gary Oldman to appear in this thing? Is Jacqueline Bisset too historically hot to play Mary, the mother of God? Is Debra Messing's makeup the true MVP of the film? There is a lot to get into, and a lot to avoid, in any religious conversation between the hosts, and they don't always succeed. You should expect no less from an It Happened One Year discussion!
