Amy asked for body swap stories and boy did we deliver! Joseph came up with the 1936 H.P. Lovecraft novella Shadow Out Of Time while Amy had us watch the 1984 Steve Martin & Lily Tomlin comedy All Of Me. Extra credit from Randy: "The Prisoner Of Benda," season six, episode 10 of Futurama.
Amy wanted things about art, so we delivered in spades!
Joe said he wanted things on the theme of a year abroad. I'm not sure Randy or I gave him what he asked for, but he liked both of them anyway. - Amy
Episode 45 - Never Give Up, Never Surrender
Joe asked for variations on the theme "Let's get the band back together." Amy and Randy both went with metaphorical bands rather than actual ones. Randy picked an old favorite - Galaxy Quest and Amy picked an old-but-new-to-us Donald E. Westlake book: The Hot Rock.

Joe asked for works of urban Ireland in honor of St. Patrick's Day
Amy chose Colin Bateman's Belfast thriller, Divorcing Jack.
Randy selected the 1935 John Ford classic that won a Best Actor Oscar for Victor McLaglen and John Ford's first Best Director, The Informer.
Show notes
Intro Music: "Tell Me Ma" by Gaelic Storm
Outro Music: "James Connolly" by Black 47
Randy talks about The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and the new Madonna album,Rebel Heart.
Joe's been watching The Last Five Years and is still working his way through Parks & Recreation.
As for Irish politics, there was no Prime Minister of Ireland in 1995 so...hell, we have no idea. They haven't had one since 1972 when the Parliament was suspended (but they have a First Minister since 1998).
The Nobel Prize Stearkey refers to in the novel would have been the one that Betty Williams and Mairead Corrigan were awarded in 1976 for their work for a peaceful resolution to the violence in Northern Ireland. The Good Friday accords come three years later in 1998.
Atoní Dvorák was indeed Czech and Béla Bartók was Hungarian.
An example of the Spider-Verse newspaper strip can be found here.
Linda Holmes from Pop Culture Happy Hour wrote the Bachelor Pad recap of lore, including the phrase "The Courtyard Of Abandoned Dignity."
The Florida novels Joe was trying to remember were the Travis McGee books by John D. MacDonald.
There was indeed a much better Quiet Man Blu-ray that came out for the 60th anniversary in 2013.
On the next episode
Amy's birthday is coming up! So, birthday stories.
Randy chose John Hughe's 1984 movie, Sixteen Candles.
Joe choose the Jhumpa Lahiri novel The Namesake (and for the record, it was her story collection, Interpreter of Maladies, that was awarded the Pulitzer).

New review: Alien Outpost
A disappointing first outing that shows promise.
Review: Everly
Sometimes, genre movies will bring you a real unexpected gem.
File this one under "What the hell just happened?", folks. But in a good way.
Here we are, folks, the end of the road for my write-up of the films I saw in 2014. Revenge, blood-sucking Detroiters and Austin barbecue for everyone after the jump.
Or as I call it, the almost the best of the year, but not quite there. And remember, in some cases you could move these up by 5 or down by 5 and I'd be happy; there's a lot of good work in 2014 and sometimes my ranking of one movie over another is purely by momentary preference and could be different next year if you ask me again. So let's check out time loops, Swedish punk and superhero conspiracies after the jump.
2014 is a bit of an odd year in film. For the first half, I was convinced this was a down year with very little offer, but then releases (and we’re not even talking Oscar season stuff) started to trickle out and catch my eye and in the end, I think this was a very, very good year with a lot of standout films. With that said, here is my list, in order, of the best and worst of 2014.*
From wattsay:
New episode of the podcast went up on Monday. In it, I have THOUGHTS about TNT's "The Librarians." And I miss a great opportunity to use my dad's line about "Buy the premise, buy the bit."
http://tryandlikeit.blogspot.com/…/episode-33-second-place-…
Under discussion thematically: Mockingbird by Walter Tevis and the movie "Fish Tank".
Woo hoo! Ben is here! *crickets*
Randy picks up the pace on the Buffy rewatch and confirms my belief that season 5 is probably the best (also, who the hell doesn't like Glory as a character?)
New episode up! We talk cocktails, "Later, At The Bar", "Blue Gardenia" and other things involving libations.
Our book and movie for the next podcast! Guess what the theme is.
