Audio commentaries are the embryonic form of podcasting, and this show looks at the art of filmmaking through the greatest of these tracks. From comedy to drama, live-action to animation, good and bad, we run the gamut of cinema in a lighthearted, hopefully enlightening fashion. It’s the only commentary-centric show that matters because it’s the only one that exists. (As far as we know.)

#085: Hundreds of Beavers with Nicki from Trivial Theater
For our eighty-fifth episode, we’re joined once again by one of my best friends and the newest inductee into the Three Timer’s Club: Nicki, from the YouTube series “Trivial Theater”, for a discussion of the audio commentar(ies) for your wonky yet affable host’s favorite film of 2024 (according to when it was greatly available): Mike Cheslik’s “Hundreds of Beavers”. Among the things discussed: the lost art of parody promotional posters, making the most of 2020 quarantine by going out in the snow and doing something insane, why directors who make snowbound comedies record inebriated commentaries (two in this case), Looney Tunes and Buster Keaton influences, the origins of two new catch phrases, and so much more. Oh, and try out the free streaming service Hoopla. Support your local library.
Ryan’s Recommendations: “The Wire” (2002-2008), “Deadwood” (2004-2006), and “East Bound & Down” (2009-2013)
