Dissect DJs

Will Smith is back and so are the Dissect DJs!  Breaking down his latest single release featuring his son Jaden and a guy named Russ - "Work of Art".
We try to understand what Will is trying to say and why he's trying to say it, check in on a couple other recent releases by Willy from Philly, and discuss where he's at this point in his career. Is "Work of Art" a true work of art? Let's dissect!

The summer of baseball movie reviews continues on the Dissect DJs, as we break down the iconic 1993 film - The Sandlot!

We run through this entire 90s classic that anchored the greatest era of baseball movie history, asking and answering all the curious questions that  rise along the way. Why can't Smalls throw a baseball? Why was his stepdad Dennis Leary such a dick? Was Babe Ruth really the legend he's made out to be? What was Wendy Peffercorn's deal? What is the Mt. Rushmore of stories told within movies? And as always, we hand out our MVP, Practice Squad Player and 6th Man Awards. 

Because heroes get remembered, but legends never die!

In Episode 126 we uncover a rare song from the 80s that turns out to be rarely heard for a very good reason... It's Benny Mardones - "Into the Night".

DJ JAG brings a deep cut to the table with some lyrics that must be heard to be believed. It's time to dissect some problematic throwback music from the 80s, Benny you're NEXT!

We do a deep dive from the archives from The 3 Things About podcast and pull out our thorough breakdown on the 1992 cinema classic A League of Their Own! 

We crown our MVPs of the movie, the 6th Man Off the Bench Award, The "Practice Squad Player" who we could've done without, and hit all the longstanding eternal questions - Did Dottie drop the ball on purpose? Why don't women play baseball anymore? And did you know this features a cameo of the greatest 80s feature actor of all time? Batter Alllll!

Happy Independence Day Week y'all! Episode 124 celebrates the good ole' USA by breaking down an American classic with Tom Petty's 1976 hit "American Girl".

Lyric by lyric, we dissect what the song means, what the music video tells us about Sabrina, the shocking twist the music video gives us, if it might be the song of of the summer, and figure out if it has anything to do with Espressos, as well as what other songs we've had that are titled after a beverage but maybe don't have anything to do with beverages at all.

Let's start a new game, yeah?  Ever hear of F*ck, Marry, Kill?  Well this is Ghost, Fight, Chill. It's simple- We name three people and decide who we'd ghost out of our life, who we'd fight, and who we'd want to chill with.
