WWWS continues its steady ascent toward the completely self-appointed title of The Last Great Podcast Of The Modern Era. No formal announcement has been made, but the confidence level suggests the paperwork is already being drafted.
This week, Say What Now? ventures into the world of carnival slang, once again asking Big Uke to decipher expressions from a bygone era with a level of certainty that history rarely rewards. The language is obscure. The guesses are anything but.
The WWWS Mailbag swings open once again, bringing another collection of listener questions, observations, and unsolicited contributions to the ever-expanding WWWS universe. Some are insightful. Others simply create more work.
Meanwhile, Tubesox reports back on his assignment, Anchorman 2 (2013), attempting to determine whether revisiting a modern comedy improves the experience - or simply provides ninety more minutes to overanalyze jokes that were never asking for it.
Not to be outdone, Tubesox assigns Big Uke another movie, ensuring the show’s increasingly formalized process of mandatory homework continues without interruption.
And, as always, 3 Things That Can Kick Rocks returns, proving that no amount of confidence, momentum, or alleged greatness can prevent entirely innocent people, places, and objects from ending up on the weekly grievance list.
Carnival slang. Fresh mail. Comedy under review. New homework.
The momentum continues to build. The evidence remains largely anecdotal.
Keep your expectations low. The Last Great Podcast Of The Modern Era certainly won’t.
