Inside Llewyn Davis Van Ronk (Inside Llewyn Davis/Dave Van Ronk/Frasier) - a podcast by Plaid Lads

Murphy Chrimbo! The Lads take you to the tragic events of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade scarred a generation. A rogue Spider-Man float and the coming of our new Minion overlord bring the dawn of a new, terrible age. Then the boys settle the score on the Christmas season once and for all: is Die Hard a Christmas movie? Is Baby, It’s Cold Outside problematic? (Yes.) And the boys sort out their feelings on the season in general. Then it’s on to the Coen Brothers 2013 masterpiece, Inside Llewyn Davis. The Lads resonate perhaps a bit TOO closely with the films’ troubled protagonist, and geek out over the movies’ many references to the folk music of the era. Then it’s on to talk about the album that’s the inspiration for the movie, Inside Dave Van Ronk by Dave Van Ronk. The boys marvel over the albums continued emotional resonance, Van Ronk’s remarkable life, and talk about what sets it apart from its contemporaries. Finally it’s Frasier S1E9 Selling Out! It’s the first appearance of Frasier’s manager Bebe Glasier! Justin forgot to watch this one though so we just kinda hash out the basics.
