Mike Schulz, Dave Levora, and Darren Pitra take an extended stroll down Memory Lane with the films from 1989. Road House wasn’t the only film released that year, you know. That’s what Wikipedia tells us, anyway.

Mike Schulz, Dave Levora, and Darren Pitra sound alarmed about the possibility of another mic having fritzed out, leaving Pitra to shout out his contributions from the bleachers. Not this time, baby!

Mike Schulz, Dave Levora, and Darren Pitra discuss Schulz’s recent reviews as well as the Oscars, airing this Sunday — and breathe out. Owing to technical issues, however, what should be an audio three-way sounds like one of the participants — in this case, Darren — has been mixed waaaay down in the feed.

Mike Schulz, Dave Levora, and Darren Pitra get into the documentary The Greatest Night in Pop, streaming on Netflix, which looks back forty years to the recording of “We are the World” and everything behind the scenes to which Eighties audiences were not privy — such as Paul Simon scoping the room full of stars and dead-panning a line to the camera that one will not repeat, as it’s so murderously funny.

Mike Schulz, Dave Levora, and Darren Pitra celebrate Schulz getting his car back, which cramped his style for at least a week in the preceding month. Schulz said he had been wondering why there weren’t too many movies for him to review in January, and then it hit him: The writer’s strike is still being felt by us all.
Anyway, to the movies! Continue reading February 1, 2024, on Planet 93.9 with Dave and Darren — “Origin,” “Nimona,” “American Symphony,” and “Flamin’ Hot”

Schulz demurs, saying he beat last year’s record by one, and that averages out to about an eighty-percentile grade.
