Chatting about Steve Irwin's legacy also led @crookedtable.bsky.social and me to discuss the impact of other wholesome, compassionate, morally upstanding icons in entertainment, and how we're sorely lacking the likes of Fred Rogers, Jim Henson, Shari Lewis and Bill Nye in kids' entertainment today.➡️

For our latest episode of Back To Bluey, @crookedtable.bsky.social and I covered "The Quiet Game," and surprised ourselves by talking at length about guest star Robert Irwin, and how his family's legacy of discovery and kindness (also his accent!) makes a perfect match for BLUEY's sensibilities.➡️

The reason I love BLUEY is because it gives me a bit of that goodness and joy (in 7-minute increments!) that's missing from my day-to-day. The reason I love doing Back to Bluey is because @crookedtable.bsky.social and I get to discuss how that goodness and joy can be applied in our day-to-day.➡️

ICYMI: NostalgiaCast kicked off 1995 with a fond look back at GET SHORTY starring Gene Hackman and John Travolta. Listen/watch as Jonny and I rave about our favorite dialogue and performances, as well as how the movie works as a Barry Sonnenfeld film that's also an Elmore Leonard adaptation.👇

ICYMI, @crookedtable.bsky.social and I dropped our latest episode of Back To Bluey, in which we spend quality time with "Bingo," and discuss the larger points it makes about coping and problem-solving. We also chat about the push-pull that (we think) makes each of our conversations so rewarding.👇

Jonny, @joeybutts21.bsky.social, and me, on the behind-the-scenes rivalry between TOMBSTONE and WYATT EARP, and the difference in costume design that makes one look like a dusty, traditional Western, and the other look tight, too bright, and positively European. Links to the episode below!
October 12, 2025 at 9:44 PM
Jonny and me, bonding with @joeybutts21.bsky.social over our mutual crush on JoBeth Williams in POLTERGEIST, during our latest episode of NostalgiaCast.*

ICYMI: For our latest Back To Bluey, Robert and I discuss resilience and determination in "Bike," and how too much time in between new BLUEY episodes and BLUEY: THE MOVIE could hurt us in the long run. We also mention THE SIMPSONS MOVIE, which is fortuitous after today's announcement.
September 29, 2025 at 7:24 PM
ICYMI: Jonny and I covered QUIZ SHOW for our latest Bucket List episode, in which we discuss a) the career of Robert Redford, b) Rob Morrow's wicked-smaht Boston accent, c) Ralph Fiennes's matinee idol good looks, and d) if John Turturro uglies himself up too much for movies. Links below 👇:

ICYMI: Jonny and I discuss QUIZ SHOW for our latest Bucket List episode of NostalgiaCast, and were astounded how a film made 40 years after the 1950s game show scandal on which it's based would continue to resonate into the 2020s. We also cover the career of the late great Robert Redford, below👇:
September 27, 2025 at 5:31 PM
NOW! NostalgiaCast winds back the clock to tackle QUIZ SHOW, directed by the late great Robert Redford and starring Ralph Fiennes and John Turturro. Jonny and I discuss Redford's impact as actor, director, and icon, and the '50s game show scandal that reverberates in the scandals of today. Link 👇!
