We’re taking a little detour on our way through the 90s cuz of a little thing called COVID 19 (ever heard of it?). And today we’re joined by Rock Rising cohort Michael Johnson (Looking For Artists podcast host) to discuss his 90s Bonus pick Men in Black. We’re talking cool suits, sexy morticians, and social distancing. Is there a difference between “isolation” and “quarantine?” Is there a point to the song Men in Black, besides being a total banger? One thing’s for sure: we make this podcast look good.

It’s film vs music this week as Steven and Gina take Kramer vs Kramer (top grossing AND Best Picture Winner) and the top ten billboard hits of 1979 to court. We have some very strong feelings about Method Acting, surprise Christmas kisses, the joys of staying at the YMCA, and so much more. We will survive, as long as we have podcasts to give!Gina Stevensen1978: Grease & The Deer Hunter1978: Grease & The Deer HunterGina and Steven analyze the films, shows, music, and more that have shaped our culture to determine… Should We Keep This?

This week Gina and Steven are off to the races with Grease (top grossing) and The Deer Hunter (Best Picture).

From the Old West to New York, join Steven and Gina as they learn what it really means to be a “hustler” and how there are apparently no women in Bolivia. Should we keep these cowboys?!Gina Stevensen
