If You’re an Old Soul

As the film industry continues to build its "Musical Cinematic Universe," Danny and Speedy explore the upcoming slate of biographical movies about legendary entertainers - and list the five biopic ideas that make them say, "Yes!" or "Ehhh." Plus, Danny is having technical difficulties (that no one seems to notice but him), and he starts off the podcast on a rampage.

Danny gives his Top 10 Oscars Thoughts after the 96th Academy Awards (while joined by his wife, Tina, who is infamously not a fan of awards shows). Then (21:27), the show welcomes movie podcaster Jihad Shatara and "Dune" expert James Newlin to satiate Danny's thirst to talk about a giant worm (Danny proudly, definitely-not-annoyingly-at-all...read the books).

Danny and Speedy are back in 2024!

While Speedy is in London, Danny's wife, Tina, joins him to chat with unique social media star Rosie Grant. Over the last two years, Rosie has become famous for her mission to make recipes engraved into gravestones all across the country. We discuss her unconventional rise to fame (i.e. interning at a cemetery and having two parents who are ghost tour guides), favorite recipes she has discovered and shocking facts about the resting places of famous people (i.e. Julia Child was buried underwater???).

Danny and Speedy quickly assemble to discuss the release of The Beatles’ "final" song, "Now and Then." They dive into its origins, the controversial decisions behind its reproduction (such as removing parts of John Lennon's original demo), the potential connection to Lennon's reportedly last words to McCartney, and our overall review of the track.

If you enjoy hearing Danny be uncomfortable, this is the episode for you. While recounting an awkward encounter with an Oscar-winning actor, compounded with needing to filibuster because Speedy has a work-emergency…His pain is almost palpable during the entire episode. They also discuss their shared crush on the first "Golden Bachelor," as well as honor Rudolph Isley, of The Isley Brothers. Then, to celebrate its 30th birthday, Speedy watches "Hocus Pocus" for the first time - which is one of Danny's favorite movies. One note: This was recorded on October 13th, so we just want to make sure it is mentioned here that we love you, Suzanne Somers.

Danny is back after settling into his new job and apartment in New York City! He and Speedy discuss a bonus Old Phrase of the Day, the passing of The Band's Robbie Robertson and legendary game show host Bob Barker, and the merits of a DJ-show that plays older music. Then, beloved indie band The Lemon Twigs join the show, with Brian and Michael D'Addario breaking down their new album, the drama behind their lost Quibi show and the artists that inspire their music.

Danny returns from his honeymoon and ironing out a professional transition (more on that during the episode) to reunite with Speedy on our podcast's two-year anniversary. However, there is no time to dwell on the last two years, when there are 96 wonderful years to celebrate of one of the greatest singers ever, Tony Bennett. To properly honor the titan of music who passed away this month, Danny calls upon his father to join the podcast and open his vault of music history and trivia. Plus, Danny makes Speedy guess who will be receiving a Kennedy Center Honor this year, and we react to Fall Out Boy's sequel to "We Didn't Start the Fire."

If You're an Old Soul, please join us in: Remembering and honoring Tina Turner, reacting to the 2023 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductions, making fun of Danny's awkward interview with Oscar-winner Diane Keaton (Danny is begrudgingly playing the entire interview for everyone, which has not aired in-full yet), hearing Danny's tirade after his first time watching "Dirty Dancing," and enjoying an interview with legendary 1960s rockstar Tommy James about being signed to a label run by the mafia.

Ever since Danny saw the now-viral video of Peter Rugman (from the band, The Nonstick Pans) doing impersonations of a "John Lennon Christmas song vs. a Paul McCartney Christmas song," he knew this Brit was a fellow Old Soul. Millions of views and likes later, we welcome the actor, comedian and musician onto the podcast to explore a wide array of subjects, ranging from serious topics, like the historic paradox of musicians turning tragedy into their best work, to a goofy game we invented, called, "Do Brits love the British thing as much as Americans love the British thing?" We also discuss our favorite Beatles albums and stories, worst impressions of America, and then try to program ChatGPT to create parodies of songs by David Bowie and The Beatles.
