STAGE DIVES

Introducing Stage Dives, the first podcast from the media nerds who run SMACK out of Toronto Canada and hosted by Aaron Chan. We’re going to be talking about everything we’ve been listening to and watching, but first and foremost we’re going to be talking about concerts. To make the most of the stampede of live music we’re about to witness from arena tours to 19+ shows to basement gigs, we’re going to giving you our best on the road today. We’ll be breaking down setlists, talking about fanbases, and having a larger conversation about the artist or work in question. We’ve also got episodes about movies, TV shows, sports, and of course music, plus everything else our team of pop culture-obsessives want to deliver to you. So like and subscribe if you’re a concert addict and want to be part of a conversation on all of the concerts hitting Toronto.

    The 25th Anniversary of OK Computer

    Aaron, Jared, and special guest Blake Haarstad have some laughs as they break down Radiohead's seminal work for its 25th birthday sonically, thematically, and historically. They chatted about the idea of overhype, "male manipulator music," if the album is a concept record, if Radiohead count as progressive rock, and what makes them a canonical band. Then they spouted a ton of trivia and research. Listen until the end to hear two millennials argue with a Gen Z on why The Bends is a great album.

    STREAM LOGIC: Litigating the Lakers Drama on HBO's Winning Time

    We’re joined by sports wizard Ian Pickett to break down the factual inaccuracies behind the controversies in HBO’s Winning Time. We talked about all of the hoopla around Jason Clarke’s performance as Jerry West (19:02), (36:27) the score and stat discrepancies, compared the dramatized versions of Kareem (41:42), Pat Riley (1:01:32), Larry Bird (55:35), and Magic (1:11:07) to their real-life composites, and then discussed why the Lakers suck so much now (1:19:27). Also discussed: rating the basketball scenes in the show (9:28), what eras future seasons of the show could cover (1:05:55) and why fictional Magic Johnson is so good at cunnilingus in the show (1:17:15). Check out our bonus episode where Ian compares NBA players to Succession characters.

    STREAM LOGIC: The Insane Slate of TV Shows Coming to Streaming This Year

    Jared and Aaron talk about the insane amount of content that has been and will be hitting streaming platforms this year including a tripartite in crime shows with Ozark, Barry, and Better Call Saul (17:05), Atlanta (39:33), and The “Pseudo-Wire” comeback in We Own this City (26:11). They break down how the prestige era of television never ended and its effect on the box office (13:46). Then they discuss how music used on TV has changed from Entourage and The Sopranos all the way to Pam & Tommy (48:55) plus their favourite uses of pop music in shows this year (1:03:58) and the worst uses as well (1:17:00). Other shows mentioned: Euphoria, Severance, The Dropout, Super Pumped, Abbot Elementary, Succession, Breaking Bad, The White Lotus and probably more. It’s true…there’s too much content out there, but have no fear, we’re here to tell you what’s worth watching.
