Thoughts from your host…
Hello again! It’s been a moment, hasn’t it? What was first intended to be a five week break in-between seasons turned into a seven week break…and nowadays, seven weeks might as well be seven years!
I really did intend to be back a lot sooner – usually our “Fall Break” is over by the first Monday in October. This October though, I decided to go see a certain Irish rock band play a concert at a certain round concert venue in a certain Nevada town…and…well…creating a podcast during such shenanigans was going to be a little difficult.
But that’s okay, because it actually set us up nicely to open a new season of shows with a multifaceted new offering by an absolute legend! I dare say that the season wouldn’t have got off to nearly as big of a bang if we’d sat down to discuss DUMB MONEY, THE CREATOR, or A HAUNTING IN VENICE. Nothing against any of those films, of course, but as far as conversation pieces, I don’t think they are in the same class as today’s feature.
But here we are – ready to start a whole new season, crank out five more episodes in 2023, and finish out this unforgettable year with a bang…and it all begins with an epic episode about an epic film.
I’ve truly had a wonderful little break – but the changing colours and nip in the air make it official; it’s time to get the conversation going again.
Thanks for rejoining it.
