The Movie Education of Logan Crosland - Episode 9 - The Birdcage

My Guatemalaness; my natural heat!
In a world where one man has only seen 30 or so movies comes a desire to learn from a master. A master of film. A master of cinema. A master who has led such a sad life. 
Logan seeks the knowledge and he turns to his own personal “Yoda”; Keithie.
Join Logan & Keithie on a wild adventure to discover as we watch along with a new movie each episode in THE MOVIE EDUCATION OF LOGAN CROSLAND.
This episode, Logan & Keithie (with a special guest appearance by everyone's favorite 9021-NoSo Host Tim Capel) celebrate Pride Month with a classic, perhaps one of the best LGBTQIA+ movies of all time, The Birdcage
Robin Williams, Nathan Lane, Gene Hackman, Dianne Wiest and a tour de force from Hank Azaria comically show us that Conservatives and Liberals can coexist... or should they?
We find out about the best parts of Florida and what you should bring to your cemetery plot. 
They'll have a great headline: "Senator Jackson and His Women, Senator Keeley and His Men."

NWA Crock And Roll Revisit #1

Launched in 2020 during the early days of the pandemic, NWA Crock & Roll quickly became a standout on the Place to Be Nation network. Hosted by Shawn and featuring a rotating cast of voices from the  Backbone Feed & PTBN, the 60 episodes that aired dive deep into the glory days of Jim Crockett Promotions, covering the red-hot years of 1985 and 1986 in meticulous, episode-by-episode detail.
With a nostalgic nod to the iconic World Championship Wrestling time slot of 6:05pm on TBS, the podcast serves as both a tribute and a time machine, revisiting what many consider the golden era of professional wrestling. From the rise of Ric Flair and the Four Horsemen to territory-hopping tales and hidden gems, Crock & Roll brings history back to life for longtime fans and new listeners alike.

Dusty Rhodes and his bizarre “hand in the jar” approach to be in everything
Tully Blanchard channeling James Bond
The rise of the Koloffs
The launch of a wild Jimmy Valiant vs. Paul Jones feud

Hands of Z #17

On this episode of The Hands of Z, Shawn and Keith dig into two very different but equally fascinating matches from the fall of 1989.
First up: it’s a slugfest as “Rugged” Ron Garvin takes on “The Hammer” Greg Valentine on September 30, 1989. In the thick of their heated feud, these two masters of brutality go to war in a contest full of stiff strikes, grudge-fueled intensity, and old-school storytelling. 
Then, we flip the channel and jump over to the AWA, where on November 18, 1989, the ever-entertaining Larry Zbyszko defends the AWA World Title against Nikita Koloff. Did this bout live up to the billing—or is it more of a case study in AWA’s late-stage weirdness?
