528. Rewind: American Podcast
This week we're revisiting one of the most popular recent episodes of The Flickcast. The podcast about stuff nerds love. This one is called American Podcast. Enjoy! Here's the description from when the episode originally came out way back in January: This week on the show the boys dive deep into several new and recurring topics. Some of these include Everything, Everywhere, All at Once, the Golden Globes, History of the World Part 2, Season 2 of The Bear, the upcoming Alien series, the stupidity of Wizards of the Coast, The Last of Us and a whole lot more. They're also debuting a new segment of the show about the movies and TV programs of their formative years. We'd probably call it: "The things that made us." But that's already taken. But yeah, it's like that. Kicking things off is George Lucas' second film: American Graffiti. It's a fine choice and the boys get pretty deep into it. Enjoy. And, of course, there's also the usual more. Picks this week include Chris' pick of all the great stuff from Dapper Notes and Joe's pick of the action figures from Diamond Select Toys. If you like the show, please give it a rating or review on Apple Podcasts, or your app of choice. Every rating and review helps.
