Laugh and enjoy as Tom and Julee kick off Season 2 of "Back Through The Basement" with a joyful embarkation into a series of plastic-drawer-organizer-thingies that yield a whole host of treasures like relics from when Tom was a Romulan, Julee and Tom's ballroom dance roots -- not to mention the fun they have coming across some classic “cartridges”... think you can guess what these could be cartridges for?!? As they go along, they fall (VERY easily) down an incredibly obscure movie quotes and spot-on impressions rabbit hole. For example: Julee’s surprising impression of a 'Star Wars' 'Tauntaun' and Tom's 'Chief', the dog, from 'The Fox and the Hound'. Random! The trip 'Back Through The Basement' enters season 2 with a super sweet cutaway from 1977’s Christmas morning (the earliest year from which there is audio to draw)! May this episode kick off a great week for you!
Now in their forties, Julee and Tom are reconnecting as brother and sister in THE MOST distant a socially-distant podcast can be in the United States. While recording on each coast (and seeing each other over FaceTime) all the way from Los Angeles (Tom) to Boston (Julee), they start unearthing the core lessons, laughs and connections of their childhood. Plus, Julee has to fight her fear of cobwebs while Tom enjoys the comfort of his office -- yet he CAN'T touch his beloved toys like she can.
As their Instagram bio indicates -- @backthroughthebasementpod -- you can follow them there to see pictures of everything they unearth -- Tom & Julee (actors, comics, voiceover artists & siblings), children of the 80s, must go through all their toys and belongings in their parents’ basement. Oh boy.
