    424: Describing Movies We've Never Seen (part 2)
    2025/12/03
    Hello! Welcome to an all new episode of pcmc. Your one-stop-shop for media musings, nostalgia, and pop culture ephemera! On today's show, Mike is joined once again by Anthony. Together the guys are returning to a concept first visited in episode 280. Describing movies they haven't seen. Each person has given the other the titles for three movies they know the other has never seen. That person has only the title of the film and the movie poster to come up with what they believe the movie is about. After the real plot is discussed, then kudos are given for how close the guesser got to the real thing. This episode is silly good fun and fun for everyone who either has, or hasn't seen the films discussed. If you enjoy this podcast, please share it with everyone you know!

    423: The Real Housewives of New York City: "Scary Island"
    2025/11/26
    Jellybeans! Welcome to an all new episode of pcmc. Your one-stop-shop for pop culture musings, celebrations, and ephemera! On today's show, Mike is joined by Anthony to discuss the Bravo franchise The Real Housewives of New York City. Specifically, an infamous three-episode arc known to fans as "Scary Island." This was a foundational moment in Real Housewives history, as one of the housewives straight up loses her grip on reality in a major way (maybe). Anthony is a longtime RHONY fan and Mike is entirely new to the series, so Anthony explains why this storyline was so important. This episode is funny and enlightening whether you're a Real Housewives fan or not. If you enjoy this podcast, please share it with everyone you know!

    422: The Chevy Chase Show (1993)
    2025/11/19
    I'm pcmc and you're not. Welcome to an all new episode of pcmc. Your one-stop-shop for pop culture musings, celebrations, and ephemera! On today's show, host Mike Bongiorno is joined, once again, by Vin Forte, and they continue last week's deep dive into the dark and desperate world of failed late-night talk shows. Today's subject: The Chevy Chase Show (1993). Like many a failed talk show before it, this show ran for only one season. Chevy Chase was once the biggest comedy star in the world, but bad decisions and increasingly bad behavior left him on the outs with the American public. When Fox wanted to get into the late-night game, they thought Chevy would be the perfect fit for their young, edgy network. It did not go well. Mike and Vin review the first episode of the show and actually disagree on its value. Listen in for who liked it and who didn't. If you enjoy this podcast, please share it with everyone you know!

    421: The Pat Sajak Show (1989)
    2025/11/12
    Can I buy a vowel?! Welcome to an all new episode of pcmc. Your one-stop-shop for pop culture musings, celebrations, and ephemera! On today's show, host Mike Bongiorno is joined by Vin Forte, and they dive into the dark and desperate world of failed late-night talk shows. Today's subject: The Pat Sajak Show (1989). This show ran for one season before being put to sleep like an old sick dog. Pat Sajak is mostly known to the world as the long-time host of the game show Wheel of Fortune, but in the late 80s CBS (trying to compete with Johnny Carson) decided to make him the face of their late-night offering. It did not go well. Mike and Vin go through the first episode of the show with a fine-tooth comb, looking at what works (not a lot) and what doesn't (most of it) and figure out why this show failed so spectacularly. Come back next week for more talk show talk. If you like this show, please share it with everyone you know!
