WWWS: 304: The Resurrection Of Carlini - The Machinery Is Finally Running Smoothly

Thursday, October 8, 2026

With the rust officially shaken off and the audio demons apparently banished back to wherever they came from, WWWS enters Episode 304 feeling like the machinery is finally back where it belongs. The rhythm is returning, the episodes are tightening up, and the completely self-appointed title of The Last Great Podcast Of The Modern Era once again seems dangerously plausible. Pick Your Poison returns, putting Tubesox through another series of carefully constructed no-win scenarios courtesy of Big Uke. The choices remain impossible. The cross-examination remains unavoidable. Then comes the debut of The Classifieds, where the guys dig through old newspaper advertisements in search of forgotten opportunities, unusual requests, and evidence that people have always been willing to put some very strange things in print. Meanwhile, Tubesox reports back on his latest movie assignment, Deepwater Horizon (2010), adding another entry to the increasingly substantial WWWS cinematic homework archive. More importantly, the review leads Tubesox to learn something about himself - a development nobody could have reasonably expected from a movie about an exploding oil rig. And, naturally, 3 Things That Can Kick Rocks closes things out, because getting back on track doesn't mean the world has suddenly become less irritating. Impossible choices. Strange advertisements. Explosive cinema. Fresh grievances. The bounce-back has officially become a trend. The rhythm is back. The machinery is running. The mythology continues to expand. Keep your expectations low. The Last Great Podcast Of The Modern Era appears to have recovered nicely.
