WWWS: 215: Elegy In An Asphalt Graveyard - One Last Episode Before Greatness Takes A Short Break

Thursday, August 27, 2026

WWWS arrives at the Season 2 Finale with the sort of swagger normally associated with a show that has already decided its legacy is secure. After a season of new segments, questionable developments, a first-ever guest, increasingly ambitious movie discussions, and a steadily expanding belief that this may be The Last Great Podcast Of The Modern Era, there is now only one thing left to do: make a finale and try not to ruin it. This week, The Tubesox Top 10 returns with one more carefully assembled ranking before the season closes, because apparently fifteen episodes of accumulated evidence have done nothing to discourage the practice. Edgar’s Fun Facts also makes its final Season 2 appearance, continuing its noble mission of providing information that may or may not improve anyone’s life. Meanwhile, Big Uke reports back on his latest cinematic assignment, Duel (1971) - another reluctant journey into mandatory movie homework, and one that gives the guys plenty to talk about. Because by now, everyone should understand that a WWWS movie review is never merely a movie review. It is a commitment. And, naturally, 3 Things That Can Kick Rocks gets the final word, because no season should end without taking inventory of the things that have managed to irritate us along the way. One final Top 10. One final round of questionable facts. One final movie review. One final list of grievances. Season 2 ends here. The momentum is real. The mythology is growing. The greatness remains largely self-appointed. Keep your expectations low. The Last Great Podcast Of The Modern Era will return.
