Thanks Jay!
Excited you are returning for the Avengers Endgame podcast.
This was a fun episode. It’s always good to hear from Wolfman Josh: I’m especially intrigued by his warm words about Aloha. I’m fairly lukewarm about Jerry Maguire, but I’ve always had much love for Say Anything and especially Almost Famous (and I think Untitled is even better than the theatrical cut). I never saw Aloha, because Elizabethtown kind of murdered Cameron Crowe for me. But if Wolfman and Mrs. Jay are big fans, then maybe it’s time to finally give Aloha a shot.
Jay, these Lost Episodes are great, but also depressing. It always reminds me what a hole was left when you quit the show. The New Old MPW crew is great, but you are definitely conspicuous by your absence. I enjoyed your 2019 spring preview, and I’m ever chortled at your Turn of the Screw/Taming of the Shrew joke. Well played, sir.
