Next Monday, your friends in broadcasting and podcasting will return with a brand new “live” show that will catch you up on all the news of the season. This week, it’s part two of the road trip adventure Dean and Phil recorded on Friday December 9 when they drove from downtown Los Angeles to Montecito and back. The Sight and Sound poll of the greatest films ever made, the #16 film on that poll, surrealism, dream logic, and the works of Luis Bunuel and Salvador Dali are the topics that open the proceedings. Then, after a shift to the (very loud) Summerland Beach Café, Phil tackles two films making a lot of Top Ten Lists this year: the donkey adventure tale EO and the latest from auteur Robert Eggers, The Northman. Please bare with the difficult audio, for soon Dean and Phil will be back in the car, riding alongside the sparkling blue Pacific and discussing the Netflix series “1899”, the improv collaborations of Jonathan Winters and Robin Williams, and whole lot of casting “what-ifs”. There is also analysis of a law-change benefiting sexual assault survivors, and a fascinating “trash talk” interaction in the National Basketball Association. Hop in and buckle up!

Hop into the car, and head up the California coast with Dean and Phil on this week’s rollicking, free-flowing show! Your journey begins on the mean streets of downtown Los Angeles (just outside a certain “historic building”) and concludes by a babbling creek in the tree-lined splendor of Montecito. At those destinations, and at locales in between, your friends in podcasting and broadcasting opine on a wide variety of topics, including Trevor Noah’s final “Daily Show”, Paramount Ranch, P-22, the DVD Dean once made of a road trip with his father, the life and death of Jordan Maxwell, the career and death of Kirstie Alley, and the turmoil behind-the-scenes in the DC cinematic universe.
