TV. Movies. Stuff we love. Four friends talk about what matters most. It's like lunch, but with microphones.
Unknown Host hosts The Good Group, a tv show with 43 episodes published.
We loved doing the TV Theme Quiz last show so much, we made a sequel! More tunes, more laughs! Join us.
The Group plays a TV Theme game with special guests: tape op Chuck Weiss and cinematography professor Bill McDonald. Fun ensues!
Spolier alert: if you're not an SNL fan, you may want to skip this one (please don't!). Along with our friend, TV personality Tory Shulman, we take a deep dive into the SNL 50th Anniversary programming that's popped up o
The Group discusses television shows that lasted too short or too long for our tastes. If we only made the rules for TV...
UCLA Cinematography Professor Bill McDonald joins us as we answer some questions submitted by some of our most loyal listeners. It's a fun hodgePODge. Please to enjoy!
It's a "Podpourri"™ episode! The group dives into our most recent movie viewing; Doug gives kudos to FOX's coverage of the MLB special game...and (how could we leave this out) Star Trek gets a tip of the hat.
Not gonna lie, this is a weird one. Stick with it, at least we had fun!
It's that time of year again for our meandering examination of the Oscar nods. We may not have seen all the movies but we mean well.
Holy crap! A new episode in less than a month. I guess listener Bruce got his wish...and it's a good one! Our friend and returning guest is Bill McDonald, head of Cinematography at UCLA Film School. We talk modern movie
The group listens patiently as Doug spouts off about the flicks he's seen this past summer season. He does allow the others to speak so it's not a total loss. Oh, and we add a Smartless promo to boot!
Time to see the Group's "remote drop" movies and TV shows. We also get sidetracked. (there was drinking) Enjoy the ride!
Second-time guest Chuck Weiss (recordist to the stars) joins us to talk Oscars, Marvel's recent outings and a brag-worthy Tweet exchange. Oh, and Philo mentions Star Trek.
Nicole had the great idea of having us finally watch movies we should've already seen by now and report back with a review. Everyone did a fine job...except for one of us.
For our 30th(!) episode, we talk film and TV music and scoring with Doug's old friend, composer/arranger/orchestrator Greg Pliska. Philo finds a way to include a Star Trek reference so operations normal. Doug apologizes
Ever get caught going down a rat hole? How about a rabbit hole? We seemingly do both when surfing the internet for distractions. Our guest, Chuck Weiss, joins in on the discoveries.
We (mostly Nicole) jump into the Oscars with help from our pal Chuck Weiss. Chuck works in TV like us and is a big cinephile (TV too!)
The Group comes up with the most iconic motor vehicles to ever grace the big and small screens. A vroom time was had by all. (Yes, Star Trek is mentioned)
A more boisterous show this outing as we loudly discuss the Rolling Stone Top 50+ Sitcoms of all time. There is still room for Philo to squeeze in a Star Trek reference.
Our annual Oscar show is Nico's spotlight as the rest of us are too lazy to see all the films. Of course that doesn't stop us from adding our two cents.
As we enter "awards season" the Group's topic is...Tom Hanks movies! We pick apart a Rolling Stone Hanks countdown and see how much we agree with it...or not.
