Is Hollywood (too) Woke? 1:01:05

1y ago1:01:05

1:01:05

The third time's a charm as Heath finishes his stint with us on the Analog Spectrum Podcast. Is Hollywood woke? If so, is it too woke? Is this a controversial subject? Hell if I know. However, Doug, Tony, and Heath discuss this potentially thorny topic. I know what you're thinking; there's nothing better than listening to the opinion of three middl…

1:11:06

Heath joins us for another podcast! Am I the only one that thinks he should be a regular?

1+ y ago1:09:46

1:09:46

WARNING: SPICY LANGUAGE AND OFFENSIVE CONTENT! As promised, it gets more awful and fantastic during the second chapter! However, this is mostly just two guys shooting the shit about time spent together in the military. Thinking about the early 90s, it is an amazing time that is now lost, and we'll regrettably never get it back. It was amazing. Add …

The COAST GUARD (Part Four): Chapter One – Doug and Tony in Key West WARNING: SPICY LANGUAGE AND OFFENSIVE CONTENT! The time has finally arrived!

If it makes any difference, this particular up…

John Cusack: A Random Film Retrospective 54:56

1+ y ago54:56

54:56

Doug and Tony thought the Raquel Welch (rest in peace, Ms. Welch) retrospective was a success – not that many people listened to it. It was just fun to do. It's against this background that they decided to do it again. This time it's all about John Cusack! The three movies they watched were Better off Dead, Grosse Pointe Blank, and Never Grow Old. …

The COAST GUARD (Part Three): A Prelude to Key West 1:09:13

1+ y ago1:09:13

1:09:13

Doug and Tony will keep going to this well, and on the way there, they may beat a dead horse or two. The truth is, I think they both enjoy telling stories about their youth, and when they were young, they were in the Coast Guard. This podcast is a little Doug-centric. He joined a few years before Tony, and he had a few assignments under his belt be…

Hodgepodge Le Trois 55:15

1+ y ago55:15

55:15

Sure, it's a hodgepodge, but it's really another music-based trivia game. Doug has a list of rock 'n' roll album sales. Can Tony guess which ones sold the most? Of course, this leads to deeper discussions about awesome bands, artists, and tunes. When it comes to their love of music, these guys just can't help themselves! Also, they talk about dog s…

The COAST GUARD (Part Two): Our first assignments 1:09:52

1+ y ago1:09:52

1:09:52

The guys at Analog Spectrum pick up their Coast Guard discussion where they left off, right out of boot camp and into the real world. This is just an assortment of stories about what it was like to be in the Coast Guard WAY BACK in the day - before the modern world messed it all up. It’s worth mentioning, at the rate these two tell stories, this is…

Raquel Welch: A Random Film Retrospective 50:55

1+ y ago50:55

50:55

Doug and Tony watched three movies –The Fantastic Voyage, Hannie Caulder, and Mother, Jugs and Speed – with only one thing in common, they all starred Raquel Welch (both our hosts are big fans of Ms. Welch). In this episode, they give their opinion of each film, comparing each movie to their podcast topic counterparts. They also debate who this act…

Guess That Song Title! 1980 to 1985 52:03

1+ y ago52:03

52:03

Try to remember WAY BACK to the podcast Hodgepodge Nùmero Dos! when the Analog Spectrum guys took a few minutes to read some lyrics and then tried to guess the song's title. It was so long ago, and we were so young! Also, it's a hell of a lot more challenging than it sounds! Anyway, that was just a tiny piece of a podcast. How cool would it be to h…

1:03:47

If you weren’t aware, our two distinguished hosts spent a good chunk of their adult lives in the service. As a matter of fact, they met while stationed together in the Florida Keys. On a bit of a whim – it wasn’t really planned – they decided to discuss their time in the military. This hour only covers the first part of their first year in the Coas…

The Batman and Joker (a discussion about movies) 59:46

1+ y ago59:46

59:46

The guys at Analog Spectrum discuss two recently released movies in this podcast: The Batman (2022) and Joker (2019). Something about these two movies – even though they were penned by two different writing teams and directed by two different directors – they have more in common than differences. It's almost like our hosts must examine and review t…

Lucy is SNOOZING and SNORING! Analog Spectrum talks about little chihuahua CPAP machines, and "thought crumbs," whatever the hell that means. Then the guys play a little game called Guess the Song. One of us reads some lyrics, and the other tries to guess. It's a lot harder than it sounds! This extemporaneous (yes, "extemporaneous") diversion promp…

The Analog Spectrum Christmas Special 58:51

1+ y ago58:51

58:51

Christmas! We don't dislike it! I really think that's the take-home point of our discussion. Tis' the season to watch It's a Wonderful Life and A Christmas Story; both are incredible movies, even when we consider them outside of the holiday season. It doesn't stop there; Doug and Tony talk about other Christmas-media-centric things to relish, like …

First, Lucy is going crazy in this episode. Enjoy the grunts and growls of a sleepy chihuahua. What do you have to look forward to after the snoozing puppy? Well, it's down the rabbit hole we go! As with the previous podcast, there was a topic: what advice would Doug and Tony give to their younger self, but that lasted about five minutes. Then thin…

Gone, But Not Forgotten 44:06

1+ y ago44:06

44:06

This episode is kind of hard to describe – Doug and Tony start with a discussion about things they miss from days gone by…you know, like air travel that didn't completely suck or an internet made up of more than social media sites. However, things quickly spiral out of control after that. In summary, there is some conversation about stuff that's no…

The Cars of Our Life 53:51

1+ y ago53:51

53:51

Tony and Doug talk about those cars that made them who they are. Seriously, are you surprised? You've got two fifty-something-year-old men who grew up in the 70s and 80s. Add to that, both of these guys pride themselves on being old-school shade tree mechanics and gearheads, and you just knew this topic would come up sooner or later. I'll just say …

Our Favorite Supporting Actors 48:05

1+ y ago48:05

48:05

Once again, we’re talking film. I think we would all agree that it takes a lot to make a movie great! One key ingredient that takes a “maybe good” or “so-so” piece of entertainment past the point of “must watch” is the actors that promote and assist their fellow thespians. For every Brad Pitt, there’s a Nick Searcy, Tom Cruise, there’s a Ving Rhame…

The dudes and dames decided to find out what they know about their spouse, like The Newlywed Game from the 1970s! Of course, the original show was only 30 minutes long; however, this was a crazy gabfest, so you get two full parts! This is going to be FUN! …

Here we go again! The rules: pick a movie the other hasn’t seen, swap, watch, and discuss! Doug’s choice is The Legend of 1900, starring Tim Roth and Pruitt Taylor Vince. Tony picked M*A*S*H, the film that came before the arguably iconic TV show with the same name. This one gets contentious in the best possible ways! Doug's selection: The Legend of…

1:03:32

WARNING! SALTY LANGUAGE! Going into this podcast recording session, Doug and Tony were TOTALLY unprepared. Come on…you get it. Life is busy! So, rather than coming up with a topic, they decided to start talking and see what would happen. Admittedly, it's a dangerous idea. The bottom line is this is what you get...a half-ass podcast where they talk …

1:00:07

The guys at Analog Spectrum discuss their favorite Hollywood bad guys. I’m sure you can guess a few of them, but I’d be lying if I said there weren’t a few surprises in this podcast. This one is pretty straightforward, and it’s pretty damn good. I’ll fight anyone that says different! Doug’s recommendation – Willsenton R8 Integrated Tube Amplifier: …

It’s just what happens…as we mature, we lose interest in those things we love. That doesn’t really relate to this podcast because neither Doug nor Tony are what we would refer to as mature, but there are things they used to like, and now they are not big fans. Doug seems to focus on foods from his childhood, along with some video games and newer Am…
