The Wanderers (1979): Everything an Adolescent Boy Wants, Nothing He Needs | Ep 34


Listen Later

We stand “in line” for an Outkast concert and let the conversation wander from parenting math and bedtime TV to a full-on breakdown of a movie that entertains us while also making us feel genuinely uneasy. We end in our happy place, geeking out over Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik, why Outkast keeps evolving, and what it really takes to learn a song well enough to perform it. 
• third-child “dog years” and what content feels age-appropriate 
• why 24 still works as a cliffhanger machine 
• the Jeffries Data Sheet and why we want it to become a searchable app 
• What We Do in the Shadows as a mockumentary and the Norma Tanega theme song 
• The Wanderers (1979) as coming-of-age drama with genre whiplash 
• the classroom scene, what it normalizes, and why it hits so wrong 
• soundtrack highs, scene pacing lows, and the parts that feel unresolved 
• Outkast’s debut album, Organized Noize, and Southern hip hop history 
• covering rap songs by singing the whole verse and practicing with intent 
Hey, why don't you go ahead and write in um the comments? What age, what yeah, how you think it works? Dog years for the third child. Way in on that.
