Description

We're going back to The End Of History™, and no filmmaker articulated the ambient despair of the '90s quite like Richard Linklater. We look back at his beloved films SLACKER (1991) and DAZED AND CONFUSED (1993) and parse their politics. PLUS: nostalgia, the suburbs, Resistance Twitter, and fiery hot takes on the Oscars.

Episode 28 - 1983 Year in Review: Before we flash back in time we want to remind you of our upcoming Listener Request episode! We want you to call in your hard rock/metal song request on our hotline and we'll play our favorite requests on the show! The number to call is (540) - DBGEEK-1 (or (540) 324-3351). That number will take you straight to our voice mail hotline. Don't be shy! We had some great feedback on the recent 1975 Year in Review show so we decided to jump back into the time machine and venture to another year. This time we're going back to the days of Atari, Dr. J, and Metallica before they became sycophantic Lou Reed cohorts. We're heading back to 1983. This Year in Review episode has got a little bit of everything from the pop culture stew of 1983. There was a lot going on in the entertainment world from M.A.S.H. ending its legendary run atop the television world to the release of the tragedy-laden movie version of The Twilight Zone movie.

All The President's Minutes - Minute 78 with Drea Clark: All the President's Minutes is a podcast where conversations about movies, journalism, politics and history meet. Each show we use the seminal and increasingly prescient 1976 film All The President's Men as a portal, to engage with the themes and the warnings of the film resonating since its release. For minute 78, I join festival programmer, film producer and podcast host of the Who Shot Ya? Podcast, Drea Clark. Drea and I discuss Pakula's distinct point of view which conveys a deep understanding of how humans read each other and this scene echoing the teachable moment where Bernstein updates Woodward's copy. by One Heat Minute Productions
