Somewhere Over The Rainbow Podcast

Imagine an episode where Vincent and Dana rag on dumb politicians tootsie rolling down to Cancun in the middle of a statewide ice storm, rejoice in the excitement of finding an IG live DJ set from Emmanuel Lewis aka Webster and revel in the retirement community-like viewership of CBS shows. No need to imagine any longer...just press play!

The pandemic pop culture train can't stop, won't stop! From the bat-shit craziness of QAnon legislators, to a channel that shows nothing but old Bob Ross and MTV Real World episodes, to Golden Globe snubs and Nobel Peace Prize nominees, there is something to appease everyone!

As everyone in the United States takes a collective sigh of relief now that Joe Biden has been officially sworn in as President, Vincent and Dana regale their favorite moments from the inauguration and the past couple of weeks in pop culture.

Happy New Year? Between the continued rise in COVID cases and insurrection against democracy in the U.S., the first week of 2021 is already letting everyone know that it's very closely related to 2020! Dana and Vincent soldier on to find things that gave them life, discuss the latest in pop culture, including yet another Gayle King interview wherein Gayle shows way more restraint than Dana could ever imagine and a super, duper sized "Whatchu Watching" segment featuring everything the two watched during the holidays (it was a lot, so buckle up!).

On this last super-sized episode of 2020, we attempt to conjure the holiday spirit with the aid of some pop culture realness! Vincent travels further into the BTS universe while Dana travels further to where the money reside! There are RIP moments for a reality TV canine fav, Time's "Person of the Year", a Bee Gees documentary, Dionne Warwick's Twitter takeover and so much more!

Fresh off of a pandemic Thanksgiving, there is much to be thankful for, including Gaia saving Vincent from another fire evacuation, Hulu and Dana's Boston Comedy Festival stint. The dynamic duo also do a slight dive into the Grammy nominations, discuss Vincent's habit of searching for sad scenes in TV and films and a call to boycott Chapelle's Show from Dave Chapelle.

Vincent's magical journey into becoming a BTS stan continues and Dana gets chosen to participate in the Boston Comedy Festival. Plus RIP moments for Alex Trebek, an official Wonder Woman 1984 release date (and surprise platform), a review of the new season of "The Crown" and a "We See You Gurl" moment for the first female to ever lead a Major League Baseball team.

While Vincent and Dana wait with bated breath for a winner of the 2020 Presidential Election, they get into all the goodness of the past couple of weeks in pandemic pop culture. From Steve Kornacki's khaki pants (and lack of showering bleh), to RIP moments for Sean Connery and a Sex and the City revival we never knew we always needed, all is covered!

On this celebratory episode, Dana and Vincent celebrate Vincent's transition to the big 4-0!! Vincent is gifted a new electronic skin care mask, Dana finds joy in watching people cook BBQ on Netflix and they both lament over the nuanced language of frustrated work from home emails.

There's also deep dive into the latest in pandemic pop culture realness including the end of Quibi, an unfortunate Zoom moment for CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin, thoughts on the new season of Real Housewives of Orange County and this week's "Yeah or Meh" moment with trailers for Ryan Murphy's "Prom" and "Hillbilly Elegy".

Things get political on this episode as the 2020 U.S. election cycle reaches a fever pitch (VOTE EVERYONE!). A socially distant mini vacay to Palm Springs, the story of a real life private dancer and more Korean dramas help to provide some respite from the craziness (at least for Dana and Vincent).

There's also RIP moments for Eddie Van Halen, a cranberry juice drinking skateboarder, a second chance viewing of "Ratched" and "Yeah or Meh" featuring a West Wing special and a reboot of "The Witches".
