The Dungeon87. Marathon Man & Safe & Way Back HomeWelp, this week we watched Marathon Man (John Schlesinger, 1976), Safe (Todd Haynes, 1995), and Way Back Home (William A. Seiter, 1931). The latter is, quite literally, about a character named Seth Parker, if you can believe it. Then we went briefly off the menu to talk about Marcel the Shell and bumping into old students at the movies. Apologies for the fact that Seth Landman's audio sounds like dawg shit.

Sidetracked with Abbie and Jon07: Long Tails and Ears For Hats: Josie and the PussycatsThis episode we are talking the most pivotal film and soundtrack of 2001- at least in our opinion. Josie and the Pussycats is a film co produced by Universal and Metro-Goldwyn-Myer that sadly didn't have the box office clout at the time as it does cult status today. Starring Rachel Leigh Cook, Tara Reid and Rosario Dawson as a rebooted feline inspired rock band of the Hannah Barbara universe, the soundtrack is comprised of the biggest heavy hitters in pop and rock of all time.

Historically Speaking PodcastThe New Deal - America's Original Bailout PlanIn 1932, a newly minted phrase was on the lips of most Americans… “The New Deal.” It was first uttered by Franklin D. Roosevelt to an audience in Chicago during his acceptance speech for the Democratic nomination for President. It would soon become an American phenomenon and the largest governmental spending plan to date. Its intention – to put Americans back to work and revive the economy following a depression unleashed by the stock market crash of 1929. It was hailed as a huge success and won FDR the Presidency in 1932, 1936, 1940 and 1944. But, was it really as successful as everyone lauded it to be? D...2021-05-1935 min

High School History Recap#2 Bitter Fruit with Stephen SchlesingerIn this episode Colin speaks to foreign relations expert and author of Bitter Fruit: The Story of the American Coup in Guatemala, about the CIA-backed overthrow of Jacobo Arbenz , the democratically elected leader of Guatemala. Was this episode merely a Cold War incident or was there more to it than fears of communist insurrection? Was this a spontaneous revolt by frustrated Guatemalans, in which the US simply supported the will of free peoples, or was there a more sinister plot unfolding? The discussion centers on the involvement of American government agents, especially the CIA and those with ties to t...2021-01-1647 min
