The Give Me Five Podcast: An Uncultured Look at Pop Culture and Nostalgia

It's Greg's birthday and he gets to curate the show this week. As a result there is quite a bit of chat about Pearl Jam, a great historical crime fiction book from the early 90's called The List of Seven, and a new historical crime fiction show on TNT called The Alienist. (Greg's been going through a late 1800's phase recently) We also chat about The Killers concert that Jimmy went to in Miami and we revisit a whole bunch of news on Castlevania, What We Do In Shadows, and The Dark Tower.

We follow up our conversation with our question: What are the 5 best movies/books/tv/etc featuring real historical figures in fictional stories?

Oh and we have a store! Check out our shirts, mugs, bags and phone cases here: Buy cool crap!

And you can always reach us at [email protected] or at our Facebook Page : https://www.facebook.com/givemefivepodcast/

Anthologies are on our mind and we're gonna talk about 'em. Black Mirror season 4 hit Netflix in December and Electric Dreams followed up on Amazon Prime last week. Both of these shows examine technology and the social repercussions of technology. They are also really well done with great acting, quality storytelling and effects.

We follow up out conversation with our question: What are your 5 favorite individual episodes of sci-fi or horror anthology programs? Oh and we have a store! Check out our shirts, mugs, bags and phone cases here: Buy cool crap!

The Give Me Five guys welcome very special guest SK Nicholls (http://www.sknicholls.com/), author of the crime novel Naked Alliances. (available here: Amazon). Together we discuss the seedier side of Orlando, the not-so-seedy side of nudist resorts, and some of the recent pop culture news. We also check in on the mid-season finale of Fox's The Gifted, the Golden Globes, Moonlight City Drive (a novel by Brian Paone) and in theory we were supposed to talk about Jumanji, but we ran long and Jimmy's sleeping pill kicked in, so things devolved into bad Axl Rose impressions. I think. Our question of the week, posed to the author, is "Who are the 5 authors that influenced you most?" Oh and we have a store!
