    211: Somebody Killed C**k Robin - Confidence continues to outpace the available evidence

    Send us Fan Mail WWWS presses onward with the quiet assurance of a show that has long since accepted its place as The Last Great Podcast Of The Modern Era. Independent verification remains unnecessary when morale is this high. This week, Tubesox Top 10 returns with another carefully assembled list, proving once again that ranking things with absolute conviction is far easier than defending the rankings afterward. Would Anyone Miss It? also makes another appearance, inviting Big Uke and Tubesox to determine whether one everyday object would actually be mourned if it disappeared forever. The verdict is rarely unanimous. The debate is almost always unnecessary. Elsewhere, Big Uke reports back on For A Few Dollars More (1965), Sergio Leone's classic western and the latest film to emerge from the WWWS mandatory homework program. Whether the assignment expanded his cinematic horizons or simply delayed them remains open to interpretation. The episode closes, as always, with 3 Things That Can Kick Rocks, because even a podcast operating at the absolute peak of its completely self-appointed powers still finds plenty of room for petty grievances. Top ten lists. Everyday debates. Spaghetti westerns. Fresh homework. The momentum continues. The legend grows. Independent confirmation remains pending. Keep your expectations low. The Last Great Podcast Of The Modern Era certainly won't. Support the show

    210: 60 Miles To Hell - Greatness remains entirely self-appointed.

    Send us Fan Mail WWWS continues its steady ascent toward the completely self-appointed title of The Last Great Podcast Of The Modern Era. No formal announcement has been made, but the confidence level suggests the paperwork is already being drafted. This week, Say What Now? ventures into the world of carnival slang, once again asking Big Uke to decipher expressions from a bygone era with a level of certainty that history rarely rewards. The language is obscure. The guesses are anything but. The WWWS Mailbag swings open once again, bringing another collection of listener questions, observations, and unsolicited contributions to the ever-expanding WWWS universe. Some are insightful. Others simply create more work. Meanwhile, Tubesox reports back on his assignment, Anchorman 2 (2013), attempting to determine whether revisiting a modern comedy improves the experience - or simply provides ninety more minutes to overanalyze jokes that were never asking for it. Not to be outdone, Tubesox assigns Big Uke another movie, ensuring the show's increasingly formalized process of mandatory homework continues without interruption. And, as always, 3 Things That Can Kick Rocks returns, proving that no amount of confidence, momentum, or alleged greatness can prevent entirely innocent people, places, and objects from ending up on the weekly grievance list. Carnival slang. Fresh mail. Comedy under review. New homework. The momentum continues to build. The evidence remains largely anecdotal. Keep your expectations low. The Last Great Podcast Of The Modern Era certainly won't. Support the show

    206: Requiem For A Barfly - Old Slang, Fresh Mail, & Forced Homework

    Send us Fan Mail With the excitement of special guests, bonus content, and temporary deviations now firmly behind them, WWWS settles comfortably back into its natural state: a collection of recurring segments held together by momentum and habit. This week, Say What Now? returns, once again challenging Big Uke to decipher old-timey slang with a level of confidence that remains largely disconnected from historical accuracy. Some guesses come surprisingly close. Others create entirely new meanings that historians will now have to contend with. The WWWS Mailbag also reopens, bringing with it another round of listener correspondence, observations, and questions that occasionally reveal a concerning amount of attention being paid to the show. Meanwhile, Tubesox delivers his review of Waiting (2005), a film that spends considerable energy convincing the audience it's outrageous, with results that may vary depending on one's tolerance for repetition, shock value, and workplace hijinks. Not content to leave well enough alone, Big Uke assigns Tubesox a new movie, continuing the show's increasingly formalized process of turning free time into mandatory homework. And, as always, 3 Things That Can Kick Rocks returns to close things out, where petty grievances, minor annoyances, and entirely innocent targets once again find themselves under review. Old slang. Fresh mail. Forced cinema. Renewable irritation. The routine is back. The patience is not. Keep your expectations low. The show certainly has. Support the show
