I cannot get over the movie that delivered the win for the Filmographies game in this episode. Such a deep cut!

Cleveland! It was THE rock and roll city in the 70s and 80s like what maybe Manchester was in the UK. Early to catch onto glam rock and then punk rock. Anti-authority to its core, a gangster city from the prohibition bootleg days on. The R&R hall of fame was a consequence of Cleveland being a famous rock and roll city and not the other way around. And full of funky ethnic enclaves. Always made sense to me that Harvey Pekar would be there if only for the cheap rents!

On the topic of Ohio/Cleveland, I need to hear y'alls' thoughts on Onya Nurve

The Chris gethard dumpster episode is an absolute stop every you are doing and watch it now. Even knowing what's to come it's spectacular

Rust Belt solidarity is real and beautiful

Love this May Miniseries idea! Looking forward to bingeing it. Joe, I discovered Stark Sands in Die, Mommy, Die! and was definitely obsessed in the 00's. He's in the original cast of the American Idiot musical too. Oh, and my WiFi network is called "Welcome to the dollhouse". I love this podcast!!!
