Last One To The Party episodes:

September 09, 2020 Steven Universe
Jessica Eason (The Babysitter's Club) and I explore the magic and wonder of Steven Universe. It's a kid's cartoon that champions diversity and inclusion effortlessly. We talk about the genius of creator Rebecca Sugar and all of the catchy, ultra-earwormy songs.
We realized after the fact that we kept referring to Garnet by the wrong name (Rollins got it right, of course, in his portion). We also realized after double-checking info on iMDB that friends Billy Merritt and Eugene Cordero have appeared on Steven Universe!
Please find the soundtrack on whichever music streaming service you enjoy and listen to the crap out of it.

Part Two of our conversation with Composer/Pianist Ben Bromfield about seeing Jaws for the first time. He has questions , issues, and observations: Why so many '70s Dad Bods? The absence of tropes. Allegories to present day. Is a certain long-running show ruining pop culture for all of us? And, in praise of Roy Scheider.

Jessica and I offer Rebecca Delgado Smith the opportunity to provide counterpoint to our previous Titanic episode.

August 04, 2020 Widows
Jess had me watch Widows (2018) with Viola Davis, Liam Neeson, Michelle Rodriguez, Elizabeth Dibicki, et al. Is Robert Duvall the important "glue" in every movie he's done? Will Widows become a must-see movie within the next five years?
