Nick welcomes film critics Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy back to the podcast to talk about the surprising box office success of a pair of independent horror films, a new music documentary on HBO, and several new releases, including Masters of the Universe, Carolina Caroline, Backrooms, and more. Later, Esmeralda Leon joins Nick for a conversation about generational differences, the oddball movie 8 Million Ways to Die, and the Scary Movie franchise. They also come to the unsettling realization that Trainspotting is now 30 years old. That leads to a hilarious discussion about aging, cultural references that no longer land, and the fact that far too many people have no idea who the Wu-Tang Clan or Foster Brooks are. [Ep 461]
In this “For The People” edition, Nick welcomes The Consumerman, Herb Weisbaum from Checkbook.org, back to the podcast to discuss odometer fraud in used car sales, dealing with debt collectors, and the challenges travelers are facing, including higher airfares, rising fees, fewer flight options, and more. Later, Car Guy Tom Appel from Consumer Guide Automotive joins Nick to answer listener questions, review some of the latest vehicles he’s been test-driving, and talk about the shrinking supply of synthetic oils due to the war in Iran. They also say goodbye to the first Lexus, discuss the tiny Fiat Topolino, and cover plenty more automotive topics. Plus, there are new rounds of #StarSpotter and #MysteryShow. [Ep 460]
Nick welcomes The Movie Mom herself, Nell Minow, back to the podcast to talk about the latest happenings in Washington, D.C., her recent appearance on CNBC, and the film festivals she’ll be attending. They also review several new movies, including Pressure, The Sheep Detectives, Power Ballad, and more. Later, Esmeralda Leon joins Nick to talk about their weekend plans before diving into the world of reboots. They discuss the new Mortal Kombat, revisit the wildly ambitious and completely unpredictable 2017 revival of Twin Peaks, and Esma breaks down one of the strangest entries in the X-Files reboot, featuring Mulder and Scully investigating the bizarre case of The Were-Monster. [Ep 459]
Nick welcomes Dan Fienberg, TV critic from The Hollywood Reporter, back to the podcast to catch up on the latest episodes of Top Chef and break down the season finale of SNL. Dan also reviews Spider-Noir, starring a wonderfully unhinged Nicolas Cage, and joins Nick for a conversation about Stephen Colbert’s final Late Show, his legacy, and what the future may hold for late-night television. Later, Esmeralda Leon and Nick take a trip back to some of the creepiest kids’ shows ever made. From The Doodlebops and The Teletubbies to H.R. Pufnstuf, they revisit the childhood nightmares that somehow passed as entertainment, including Witchiepoo, who may be the most terrifying character in children’s television history. [Ep 458]
Nick welcomes movie critics Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy back to the podcast to recap the Chicago Critics Film Festival, including their thoughts on Power Ballad and Tuner. They also review several new releases, including Keke Palmer’s comedy I Love Boosters, the horror film Saccharine, and the latest Star Wars adventure, The Mandalorian and Grogu. Later, Esmeralda Leon joins Nick for a conversation about some truly bad celebrity excuses before they test their knowledge of early 2000s comedy classics with a fun quiz. And if you know the name of Ron Burgundy’s dog, the title of this episode may already have given you a hint. [Ep 457]
Nick welcomes music journalist Jim Ryan from Forbes.com back to the podcast to talk about recent concerts, including Soul Asylum at SPACE in Evanston, Little Feat at the Arcada, Flea at Thalia Hall, and Zakk Wylde at Hollywood Casino. Jim also discusses a recent interview he did with Jack Johnson about an upcoming documentary, and he and Nick have some fun revisiting the movies Perfect and Over the Edge. Later, Esmeralda Leon joins Nick to talk about her upcoming appearance at the next live edition of You, Me, Them, Everybody. From there, they dive into some truly bizarre and very real celebrity stories. [Ep 456]
Nick welcomes Monica Eng from Axios Chicago to talk about some of the stories she’s been covering lately, including problems with Cook County electronic monitoring, an update on how kids are doing in CPS, the best spots around town to see and smell lilacs, the history of her great-grandfather’s jazz club, the PopUp Bagels versus New York-style bagel debate, and more. Later, Esmeralda Leon joins Nick to celebrate a few historic moments tied to May 15th, including the founding of Las Vegas, the debut of Mickey Mouse, and the birth of McDonald’s, along with its original mascot, Speedee. [Ep 455]
Chief TV critic Dan Fienberg from The Hollywood Reporter joins Nick for another deep dive into television. Dan reviews Peacock’s new thriller M.I.A., Netflix’s latest adaptation of Lord of the Flies, the new Martin Short documentary, and the series finale of Lisa Kudrow’s The Comeback. He and Nick also catch up on Top Chef and break down the newest episodes of SNL. Later, Esmeralda Leon joins Nick to talk about British TV shows that inspired American remakes before diving back into pop culture moments from the 90s and 00s. They revisit trendy but terrible haircuts, massive car stereos, oversized jeans, and plenty more questionable choices from that era. [Ep 454]
