Episode 81 – Eric Martin on Doctor Demento Presents the 1960s

Martin 2Eric Martin (host of This American Wife) is back!  It’s a two-peat, which isn’t a thing at all.  Finally, someone picks Dr. Demento – specifically “Dr. Demento Presents: Greatest Novelty Records of All Time, Vol. 3: 1960’s.”  Couldn’t fit all that into a handy title.  We talk about the good Doctor’s picks and the influence this album and what I can only assume to be a Walkman with the auto-reverse function had on him.

Episode 80 – Matt Saxe on George and Ira Gershwin – Of Thee I Sing

saxe

For the first time, I get to talk with one of my best friends, and my only Best Man, Matt Saxe on the podcast.  To cross over a bit to our pet project, the comedic historical documentary “Vice-Precedence: Being Number Two in the White House,” Matt picked a piece by the Gershwins that features one of the only musical portrayals of a Vice President we can think of – in the musical “Of Thee I Sing.”

We also talk about comic book t-shirts.

Episode 77 – DISCovery, Episode A – James Urbaniak Introduces Sara Pocock to An Evening with Mike Nichols and Elaine May

Cheech Tom & Chong

Sara Pocock proposed the idea that someone should introduce her to something brand-new, at least to her.  A classic she’d never heard of, or never new was important enough to listen to.  She picked the authority – James Urbaniak.  James picked one of the best – An Evening with Mike Nichols and Elaine May.  Because I can’t think of a better title, I’m calling this subseries “DISCovery.”  Submissions for better titles are welcome.

Also, coming back this week is bittersweet.  A few weeks ago, my wife lost her father, Tom Smith, who you’ll see with Cheech and Chong above in a photo I finally got to see when I was putting together the photos for his memorial.  Naturally, I was hoping I’d get to hear more of the story behind the photo from Tom himself, but I do know he got to interview two of my heroes.  My picture with Philip Proctor, though, was of an experience Tom coveted, himself, so we got to share our love of comedy that way.

Episode 71 – Brian Hall on The Simpsons Sing The Blues

Brian Hall

Brian Hall is a co-host of The MovieFilm Podcast and he’s the first to request The Simpsons, in any form.  While “The Simpsons Sing the Blues” isn’t exactly what you’d call their “A Material,” it’s a great snapshot of how this small nothing of a show became popular seemingly overnight, so much so that it had to be capitalized upon with a dance craze and a song co-written by none other than Michael Jackson.

Rachel Bloom is back!  This time, we delve into her influences as we discuss her album, “Please Love Me.”  I won’t stop raving about it, so don’t stop me.  I love the shit out of it, and I was lucky enough to be an extra in the video for “Jazz Fever.”  It was a ton of fun doing this episode – so enjoy!

Episode 58 – Eric Martin on Weird Al – UHF

This week I sit down with the mahogany-voiced Eric Martin of the This American Wife podcast and Web Series.  It’s quickly becoming one of my favorite things, so it was exciting that Eric picked a Weird Al album we haven’t done before.  Apologies for the hot sound in advance, but I think it’s worth it.

Episode 56 – Dan Bakkedahl on Rodney Dangerfield – Rappin Rodney

bakkedahl

This week I finally get to talk to one of my favorite character actors, Dan Bakkedahl, about one of his favorite albums – Rodney Dangerfield’s “Rappin’ Rodney.”  I’d never heard it before, and was surprised at how well a strong set-up/punch routine still works.  Sure, it’s dated, but it still works.  Do yourself a favor and pull yourself out of the mindset that what you love now is the best.  At one point, this was.  And it was still old-timey then.
