Ahoy hoy #oldtimers and welcome back to another trusting and resilient episode of As Time Goes By! This week we are joined by past guest turned present guest and hopefully future guest Kyle Kelley to talk all about Barry Jenkins' 2018 film "If Beale Street Could Talk."

These two friends congregate to talk all about past theater experiences, video games, and what is sacrificed or gained when there is an abandonment of violence that advocates for more love.

We also dive into this incredible film by highlighting specific scenes, passionately provide commentary on the technical craft and beautiful performances, and end it all with a shedding of negative ideations. I don't want to sound foolish, but remember podding is what brought you here. And if you've trusted a podcast this far, don't panic now. Trust it all the way.

Ahoy hoy #oldtimers and welcome back to another showstopping episode of As Time Goes By! This week we take a break from the normal routine and highlight artists from the greater Chattanooga and North Georgia areas to bring you different perspectives on art and the people who make it. You can call this our Cole Porter pod because Anything Goes!

Featured in the lineup is a new debut single from the band Not Without My Muse, a jazz ensemble rendition of Hundred Water's "Sonnet," 2 poems by past, present, and future guest Ashley Larsen, and a rap song/monologue by yours truly to round it all out.

It's a star filled night full of terrible impersonations and ridiculous uses of the word "pod" but wonderful and engaging work by artists from the local area. All of this is made possible by Scenic Trend. ARE YOU NOT PODTAINED?!

Ahoy hoy #oldtimers and welcome back to another trippy episode of As Time Goes By! This week Troy is joined by past/present/future guest Griffin Stover to talk about a film Griffin has chosen because it was recently his birthday and that's cause for celebration!

After Troy beautifully delivers the sponsor message, we dive right into the ominous documentary/feature hybrid in 2012's Toad Road. These two beautiful boys discuss genre, the morality and ethics that come with making a film of this severity, and grapple with our own ideations of adolescent youth.

Next, Toad Road is put in the hot seat as we pinpoint the mythology of the "7 Gates of Hell," elaborate on low-budget magic, and round it all out with a box office game and shedding of negative perspectives. Whether or not you are seeking to find yourself in the exploration of psychedelics or simply choose to listen sober, there is a lot of enlightenment to be found on this week's episode of the pod.

This film deals with themes of drug abuse, depression, and self harm. Do not be afraid to ask for or seek help if you need to -

Ahoy hoy #oldtimers and welcome back to another romantic episode of As Time Goes By! This week we are memorializing the late, great Peter Bogdanovich by taking a look at his most personal work with 1981's They All Laughed!

Troy begins the episode as usual and sports a sweats while advocating for Chattanooga arts! Next, Troy dives into the reasonings behind the choice of film in both Bogdanovich's sudden passing as well as his filmography. We also set up and discuss the film's tragic distribution issues following the passing of Dorothy Stratten.

Which is not to say this is a sad film...in fact it's a romantic comedy! We dive into the disguise of the detective agency in conjunction to the directorial disguise, highlight some integral personal affinities to the film stars of late, and round it all out with a frustrating transformation of attitude.  "Unfortunately honey you're some podcaster... and you're very mean to me."

Ahoy hoy #oldtimers and welcome back to our first episode of 2022! It's a new year, but that doesn't mean this isn't the same old podcast you've come to love! We are joined this week by first time guest/good friend Abby Randolph to talk all about 2019's Little Women!

In the preroll and intro, Troy rings in the new year by supporting his sponsor. Moving on, Troy introduces our guest, Abby Randolph, by asking questions about the Jackson, TN Rockabilly movement, asks about the current Marvel film culture, and the importance of strong female leads through progressions of reality television.

Next, Abby and Troy rank our Little Women characters 1-10 and talk about why some characters worked on this initial viewing over others. We also gush over the casting and highlight directorial choices made by Greta Gerwig. "There are some podcasts too noble to curb and too lofty to bend," but that doesn't mean you won't fall head over heels in love with this episode!

Ahoy hoy and welcome back to our last ball-dropping episode of 2022! What better way to end this year than by reliving another end-of-year celebration with 2011's New Year's Eve!

In the opening, Troy unabashedly recycles a previous sponsorship recording that evokes the new year of tidings and goodwill that Troy has been manifesting on his good pals at Scenic Trend.

After Troy downs 1/3 of a glass of champagne, we settle into this burgeoning kaleidoscope of hot actors doing hot things!  He's a little tipsy, but that doesn't stop the mouth parade that follows about, let's state it again, how HOT everyone is. It's a bad movie, which works cause this is a bad pod! "The one thing that turns the world from the longing place to a beautiful place -- is podcasting. Podding and any of its forms. Podcasts give us hope -- hope for the New Year. That's what New Year's Eve is to me. Hope and a great podcast."

Ahoy hoy #oldtimers and welcome back to another festive episode of ATGB! This week we continue our slate of Christmas/Non-Christmas movies with a seminal Christmas classic that this boy has never seen...much to the detriment and ridicule of the people around him. What better way to correct that mistake than with second time guest Emily Quinn!

In the pre roll, Troy poetically brings Christmas cheer by anointing our sponsor overlords as the "reason for the season." JK, it's cute. I'm loyal, baby.

Next, Troy talks with Emily Quinn about this 1989 classic Christmas comedy! We dive into the lampooning of the nuclear family, ask questions, and engage in fun segments like rapid fire Christmas takes and new year predictions. Of course we end it all with a box office game and a heaping dose of positivity! Your shitter might be full, but so will your hearts after listening to this week's episode of the pod!

Ahoy hoy #oldtimers and welcome back to another festive episode of ATGB! This week we continue our slate of Christmas/Non-Christmas movies with a selection that is sure to make children everywhere be on their best behaviors...Santa's watching!

In the preroll and opening, Troy discloses his first Scenic Trend memory and relays how proud he is that his sponsors love him just as much as he loves himself! After, we discuss levels of safety concerns and aim to start talking about today's wild film!

Moving on, Troy goes with his heart and, alone, discusses this 1959 obscurity known as Santa Claus! We uncover the insane plot that shows Santa working with Merlin the Magician to stop the Devil from corrupting the minds of children everywhere on Christmas Eve. Troy also did no research and just threw this on to have some fun so any and all inclinations that Santa is working with QAnon to drug and steal children from multiple nationalities and use them for child labor with Merlin the Magician is purely coincidental and only meant to poke fun.

Ahoy hoy #oldtimers and welcome back to another festive episode of ATGB! This week continues our slate of Christmas/Non-Christmas movies that will sure to warm all the cold and lonely hearts on Christmas!

Troy is joined by Ashley Larsen to talk about hometown myths, the morning television climate, and specify why acting in front of a lens is vastly different than acting in front of an audience.

Moving on, we fall in love again with this 2001 Christmas romcom. Topics explored include the power of the romantic lead, the duality of realism and fantasy, and Eugene Levy! We end it all with a box office game and the shedding of negative ideations, and it's just a hoot. Life is not merely a series of meaningless accidents or coincidences, but rather, it's a tapestry of events that culminate in an exquisite, sublime podcast.
