S2E9 -- The King of Staten Island! Judd Apatow! Huge New Music Week!

Well, Spike Lee pt. 2 is on hold as we decided to give ourselves more time to watch more of his stuff. Meanwhile, we have a fun week of new releases!

First we delve into the new Pete Davidson “almost a biopic,” THE KING OF STATEN ISLAND, which co-stars stand-up king Bill Burr, with Judd Apatow at the helm. Then, we go over Judd’s influence on the Hollywood comedy scene over the past 25+ years, as a director and especially as a producer. Seriously, y’all, dude’s got his fingerprints everywhere. It’s impressive.

Then, we take a swim in an epic weekend of new music releases, covering FOUR major artists’ new albums: Teyana Taylor’s 77-minute follow-up to the Kanye-produced KTSE from 2018; Bob Dylan’s first album of new music since 2012 with ROUGH AND ROWDY WAYS; Neil Young’s long-lost mid-70s gem, HOMEGROWN; and Phoebe Bridgers continues her dominance of the pop music landscape with PUNISHER.

Put on some headphones, open up the Genius lyrics app, and enjoy!

Tom likes to write, read, watch, listen, and all that jazz. he's pretty boring.

Tom Bond grew up in a suburb of Boston. Then he went to Vermont. Brrr, baby, VERY brrr! Then he moved to New York City (aka The BIG APPLE!), But now he lives in Los Angeles (aka The Angeles). He writes, pods, bites (food), and logs (data). Be my friend (it's me Tom I wrote this whole thing).
