Roan 22:16 The New Slang: BONES AND ALL 52:22 The Other Side: BRIAN and Ryan talk further reading after Luca Guadagnino’s film Thoughts from Your Host… Considering that this is the last episode before Christmas, you’d think we’d choose something more festive…or at least more happy. But aren’t the holidays a time to spend overindulging and eating too much? Maybe this will be a new holiday classic! Or maybe not. Jokes aside, I’m happy to be spending time with an old friend for the last full episode of the year. It’s a reminder of the way people reconnect over the holidays – the way they share memories, have a few laughs, swap stories and generally make merry. It can be a tough time of year for some – more and more every passing year it seems – and my heart does go out to them. While I am lucky enough to have the people in my life that make the holidays bright, I know that’s not the case for everyone. For those I offer I wish of quiet calm. I hope that they are able to get through the next several days and weeks with minimal stress and anxiety, and that the warmth of the season eventually finds them in new ways that make the time of year a little easier. As for us at The Matineecast, we are capping off a year that came with its ups and downs like so many do, but that showed us love and community when we needed it most. This soap box remains a humble one, so we consider everyone listening to these shows our family. So as is the family tradition, we wish you all a very Happy Holiday Season, and hope that your days and nights for what’s left of 2022 bring you warmth, light, peace, and love.
