On this week’s episode we’re keeping it pretty simple; we look over this year’s WINNERS for the Grammys, recapping the ceremony and reacting to what we picked versus who actually won. We also dive in to the non-televised categories and give our favorite picks along with upsets, odd trends we noticed, and how the performances held up this year.

In addition to the recap, we briefly go over a few 2023 runoff picks we didn’t get to mention in our FAVORITES OF 2023 episodes AND, we drop the announcement that this is the final episode of Space Case For almost 7 years, we’ve been posting bi-weekly, weekly, and monthly episode of Space Case. At the end of last year, we decided that we were ready to move on to something else. BUT REST ASSURED we will have something for your very soon! This isn’t the end of SK podcasting in some fashion, we’ll just be doing something a little bit different and fresh! We want to thank everyone who has been with us since day 1, whether you’re a kiddie or a one time listener. Also, we’d like to thank all our collaborators and guests we’ve had through the years, everyone who’s submitted a case to solve or left us a nice message on the hotline, and overall just anyone who’s been commenting on socials engaging with the episodes. It’s been a lot of fun and we’ll always have the memories. This isn’t goodbye, it’s “see yah real soon….”

Ahem, is this thing on? HEY! After a break during the summer, by POPULAR DEMAND (we’re not kidding, y’all were hitting us UP) we’ve returned for our annual Grammy nominations reaction episode! This past week the nominations dropped and like every year, we pick our hopeful winners and compare that to who we ACTUALLY think will win. This has been one of the more interesting years for sure so we’re GENIUNELY curious this time.

We also take some time at the beginning of the episode to update on what we’ve been up to since our last new episode INCLUDING releasing our first new single in 2 years (stream 8 Bit Lover!) and going to two music festivals together (Just Like Heaven and Darker Waves)

*CLASSIC EPISODE* – Originally Released 6/14/23

On this week’s episode of Space Case, we take a FANTASTIC journey into the world of B movies. Dear listener, take a moment to imagine a time where names like Roger Corman, Stan Lee, and The Fantastic Four were not a one way ticket to a box office smash…are you done imagining yet? Good. NOW imagine that this movie not only got made, but never actually got distributed to theaters EVEN THOUGH it was fully shot, edited, and completed. Does it sound insane? Well, it’s real life baby! Tune in to get the 4-1-1 on this film lore.

On this week’s episode of SPACE CASE, we’re back with some more meme history! We’re coming in hot with some CLASSIC viral videos. The first is now a holiday season staple; you know we’re talking about jingling some bells. What happened with that song mix up? And how does she feel about that video 10 years later? THEN we head back to 1990 Peoria public access GOLD with “My Name is Jon Daker.” This SK favorite has an unfortunate recent update but the legacy of this church recital and Mr. Daker himself live on in our hearts. Tune in to learn more!

On this week’s episode of Space Case, we’re headed to jolly ol’ England to reminisce on one of the more odd global crises in our history. What happens when you start feeding (parts of) cows, to cows? At first, cows get sick and you don’t know why, but no need to worry, because it has no effect on humans. Right? Well, we break down exactly where the government went wrong, who’s responsible, and how it effected politics in the UK to this day.

*CLASSIC EPISODE* – Originally Aired 4/13/22

On this week’s episode of SPACE CASE, it’s a “very special episode.” In late 80s all through to the late 90s, big TV networks were given incentives and payouts in exchange for weaving anti-drug storylines into their shows. Some were more subtle than others but a lot of these once popular ratings darlings have frankly aged like sh*t. So, listen in as we go through various lists and give examples of these offenses INCLUDING how much the networks were paid to air the episodes.
