Today Frank welcomes everyone back to the show after brainstorming where to take its future. He begins by talking about its niche, an important concept to set the show apart from others, yet a limiting one for his vision. He contends that his niche is in talking about "obscure" topics that few are talking about and which typically have a lot of nuance.
He goes in to an example from college football, which may be destined for trouble on the horizon. Emphasizing that there are many subtopics under that to discuss, he has observed fewer and fewer visiting bands doing halftime shows at Texas Tech (and elsewhere)--until this last game against Tarleton State. It's a small thing for sure, but an important tradition on Saturdays that may be disappearing along with others.
Finally, Frank reviews The Last Married Couple in America, a time-specific comedy from 1980 about marriage and relationships. It has a great title, song, and cast (including Priscilla Barnes). He sees it as a fair movie with funny parts, but understands why fans and critics dislike it still today.
The Last Married Couple in America is available on Blu-Ray and DVD.
The theme song is called Retro Funk by SoulProdMusic and can be found at pixabay.com.
