Rock Block with Finn Wrisley episodes

  • Peppers/Barnett/Clapton/Something

    Finn takes the team into the realm of the sedated in this special, drug-themed edition of Rock Block. Is Point Break the Blood Sugar Sex Magik of movies? How about that Tulsa sound? Should you take style advice from Eric Clapton considering his track record? Also, what sound is generated when you're livin' on the edge of Denton? Spin that wheel for the answers to these questions, and many, many more. Understanding that sometimes more is less. Featuring Aaron Bales, Tom McCartan, Finn Wrisley, and Justin Zeppa.

  • Who/Casablancas/Grouplove/Wham!

    Get your halls decked and your eggs nogged as we roast these holiday chestnuts on an open fire of burning opinions. First, the lads seek hard evidence of pinball wizardry from a family making a large financial commitment. Then, the worth of a pair of fingerless gloves is debated, as is the merit behind hastily-recorded Christmas B-sides. You'll also get deep-dives into naughty-aughties-era SNL, and Tom Petty's Wildflowers album for some reason, before being cleansed by the smoky danger of Sir George of Michael's vox in this extra-special holiday extravaganza. Featuring Aaron Bales, Tom McCartan, Finn Wrisley, and Justin Zeppa.

  • Beck/Mattiel/Glass/Sixpence

    It's that time again, everyone: Blocktober. Finn and Gelman have assembled the finest cuts from Kazaa Lite to get you groovin' and keep you movin'. Say, how did Beck get away with rapping? What's new with Brendan Fraser? Is "Brandy" really about Brandy? How does Mike respond to Heart riffs, and will Pacey ever get that darn boat up and running? All these questions and more will be asked, answered, and argued over in this triumphant season finale. Featuring Chelsea Doyle, Tom McCartan, Michael McKeogh, Finn Wrisley, and Justin Zeppa.

  • Blink/Imbruglia/Dishwalla/Scorpions

    Sauropod Season 2 ends with what might be the most chaotic episode yet. Dr. Wriz leads us on an odyssey back into the womb of the 1990s, a decade many of us never wanted to leave in the first place. Dorm room walls will be betrayed, choruses will be delayed, whistling genres will be established, and 9/11 will be invoked several times without apology. Tell me all your thoughts on Gorky Park, then tell me what Gorky Park is. Happy Blocktober.  Featuring Chelsea Doyle, Tom McCartan, Ali McLeod, James Ohngren, Finn Wrisley, and Justin Zeppa.

  • Greta/Oyster/Chicks/Miller

    The level of concern over Greta Van Fleet's rockin'ness is questioned while the Blue Oyster Club charges some hefty dues (your soul). Throw in some misty Dixie love - or was it SHeDAISY? - and an inspiring story about Tom's hot situation with the Born To Run album, and you've got yourself a block's worth of serious rock. Plus, the exciting micro-history of Quaaludes! Zoso, baby. Featuring Chelsea Doyle, Tom McCartan, Ali McLeod, and Finn Wrisley.

  • 3EB/Guns/Styles/Pretenders

    A never-before heard classic from the archives. Let's take you way back to 2017, when it seemed like Harry Styles might endanger the world's speakers and cinemas forevermore. Throw in a hypothetical awards ceremony from the late-90s, an incoherent phone message, and some cloudy 1980s metaphors, and this ep will have you cumming like a freak show. It's Blocktober, y'all! Featuring Sarah McCartan, Tom McCartan, James Ohngren, Finn Wrisley, and Justin Zeppa.

  • Jovi/Hurray/Adams/Donovan

    The gang squares off in the spun, black circle with a fresh batch of borderline tunes. How much was a one-day talkbox-rental in the mid-1980s? Who ever said living in the city was easy? Is Ryan Adams' back-catalog worth indulging his personal dramas and jackets? And how would you transfer ancient wisdom, if not with the assistance of a handbag? Find out the opinions framed as answers right here, as Indie bindles are debated, "F" is for "Faker," and Albert Hammond somehow rears his ugly head again. It's Rock Block! Featuring Bobbie Harless, Tom McCartan, Finn Wrisley, and Justin Zeppa.

  • HAIM/Cranberries/Heart/Tina

Is Johnny Cougar still dating Meg Ryan? Find out the answers to some of these questions and more, as the ladies of Calm Your Tits throw down with the fellas of The Block. Featuring Jazmin Gutierrez, Sarah McCartan, James Ohngren, and Finn Wrisley.
