Bryan was bummed about only getting to make one nostalgic pick last month, so welcome to Nostalgia Month Pt. 2! This week, Bryan beered us a movie that was played and quoted over and over in the Betz household in the late 90s/early 00s: Paulie. 

It was a time when you could make a movie starring Jay Mohr (in TWO roles!) about a talking bird telling a Russian Tony Shalhoub all about how much he misses the Pepsi Girl. That sentence could've also ended right after "Jay Mohr."

EP87: Paulie (1998)

Remember when one voice could unite the country every night?
"King of Yesterday's Night" is a tribute to that bygone era. It's a nostalgic look at the golden age of late-night television, personified by the one and only king, Johnny Carson. It's a story about legends—on the field like Koufax and Manning, and behind the desk like Carson, Burns, and Brooks—and what it feels like when their signal fades to static.
This is a heartfelt slice of Americana and Folk Rock, built around a clean, melodic electric guitar, a storyteller's vocal, and a timeless arrangement.
Released July 21, 2025.

LYRICS
(Verse 1) The signal fades to static where the picture used to gleam There's a Hall of Fame for moments that live on inside a dream Koufax on the mound, with a curve that broke so late Eli Manning in the pocket, sealing Brady's fate. Some guys own the diamond, some the forty-yard line But one man owned the airwaves, from nine to ten-oh-nine.
(Chorus) Oh, Johnny was the king on that late-night throne He held his court from Burbank and he ruled it all alone And though pretenders try to play the part, it's clear to see They can't capture the heart of yesterday's TV.
(Verse 2) They trade in burning takes now for a quick and cheap applause While Johnny made a space for the true comedic cause He'd light George Burns' cigar and let the stories rise Catch the wicked glint in Buddy Hackett's eyes He'd give Mel Brooks the runway with no need to rush the bit A king who knew the legends he was honored to sit with.
(Chorus) Oh, Johnny was the king on that late-night throne He held his court from Burbank and he ruled it all alone And though pretenders try to play the part, it's clear to see They can't capture the heart of yesterday's TV.
(Bridge) The kingdom's getting smaller, the channels start to fray A million fractured screens at the closing of the day And in this noisy world where everyone must shout Who's there to lean in closer, and help you figure out?
(Outro) From the monologue sunset to the stardust curtain call The band plays him off now, down that legendary hall No hot takes, no agendas, no fight he had to pick Just a perfect set-up... and a pencil's gentle flick. Yeah, a perfect set-up…

A weekly podcast where two self-proclaimed film nerds talk movies. That's right, another movie podcast.

Throughout each episode, we assign point values for different categories to arrive at a final score. Then we surprise our co-host (and our listeners) with the next week's movie. On the last week of every month, we randomly select a film suggestion from our listeners!

We never know what we'll be talking about the next week! Shenanigans ensue.
