Grab the overpriced popcorn and get ready to suffer through the songs and sounds you wish marketing departments and music supervisors would just leave well enough alone. 

Dave and Adam are joined this week by Andy McCarroll, host of the excellent Extra Vision podcast and certified movie lover (and hater, should his vitriol prove valid), to navigate the creatively bankrupt world of lazy needle drops that are deployed way, way too often. 

We've also got a packed news section that takes in everything from surprising infidelity to a highly divisive comeback. 

Don't forget, you can get this and every new NO ENCORE episode 24 hours early and ad-free, AND additional bonus audio content by signing up to Patreon.com/NOENCORE.

ACT ONE (6:05): Taylor Swift endorses Kamala Harris, Dave Grohl has a confession to make, Linkin Park unveil a new singer and weather a storm of controversy in the process, Kendrick Lamar gives Drake a reason to skip next year's Super Bowl, Fyre Festival 2 is GO, the Blur/Oasis feud reaches its natural end point, and Dave and Adam ponder a road trip - it's the news. 

ACT TWO (42:46): Top 5 Overused Needle Drops.
