Starters

Sean and I recently noticed that our discussion about the award-winning television series "Batman: The Animated Series," while watching the episode "Over the Edge," has generated nearly 4,000 views. We decided we would revisit the episodes ourselves by having it lead off our Sunday brunch post. For those of you who haven’t seen it, enjoy!

First Round of Mimosas

Musician Mark Whitaker, armed with a banjo and a voice as smooth as a single malt, talks to me about his early influences, the inspiration behind “Nowhere to Land,” and the art of songwriting.

Musical Interlude

It’s only fair that we let Mark Whitaker provide the soundtrack to our brunch.

Badass Writers of the Week Eggs Benedict

“Fury” writer/director David Ayer has made his stamp in Hollywood for writing gritty, character-driven movies that audiences can’t get enough of. His backstory earned him this past Friday’s Badass Writer of the Week.

The One With the Second Round of Mimosas

“Friends” is one of those shows that simply never goes out of style. In preparation for the show’s Netflix debut, Stephanie Schaefer rounded up her favorite moments.

Bonus Music Round

There were a lot of movies with great music released during the 1990s…or at least Sean Tuohy thinks there were. Out of all those film soundtracks that debuted during the post-heavy metal, pre-Justin Bieber days, three stand out for their use of original and compiled music. Get your week moving by listening to The Wonders (as well as those real artists on the soundtracks from “Reservoir Dogs” and “Mallrats!”

An oldie, but a goodie. This is one of my favorite podcasts. Sean and I talk about how we go about building our worlds when we write. Hearing Sean passionately talk about his craft never fails to inspire me. Who inspires you to write?

"That Thing You Do!"

1996

Written and directed by America’s most beloved actor Tom Hanks, this little gem of a movie is charming, funny, and reminds us of a simpler time. “That Thing You Do” depicts the rise of a small town band from local talent shows to the big time after its catchy tune becomes a hit. The title song alone will get stuck in your head for days. You can't help but bob your head along with the upbeat tune. However, the soundtracks offers plenty of other songs from "The Wonders." all of which ooze 1960’s rock-pop.

"Little Wild One" and "Dance With Me Tonight" are two that will cause you to fall in love with this make-believe band. The album also mixes other songs classic to the time: jazz, Motown, and smooth club music.

"Reservoir Dogs"

1992

Movie nerd Quentin Tarantino is known for his blood-soaked, pop culture-laced films with great soundtracks. While it's true that "Jackie Brown" and "Pulp Fiction" have fantastic soundtracks, however, Reservoir Dogs

truly stands out. Maybe it’s the fact you have Steven Wright deadpanning as a K-Billy’s DJ in between each song, or that each song is so different from the last. No matter the reason, this album, quite simply is cool and awesome in its own way.

"Mallrats"

1995

This movie is soaked in 1990s, featuring bright colors, characters to smart for their own good, pop culture rants, and comic books aplenty. This movie is meant for teenage boys to watch and love. The soundtrack perfectly matches the playful, goofy, and overall honest moments of this flick.
