    WRYAT presents The Boomer Zoomer Movie Review: The Entire Filmography

    Three...two...one...action! It's time to listen to every entry in WRYAT's critically acclaimed hit movie review series, The Boomer Zoomer Movie Review! It's the only show of its kind to bring together two film critics from different generations to talk about all things movies! The critics themselves are, respectively, a boomer and a zoomer who are...actually named Boomer and Zoomer. Not sure how that happened, but at least their names are consistent. The name of this show isn't, however, and you'll realize that almost immediately, but to call it The Entire Filmography of The Boomer Zoomer Movie Review/The Zoomer Boomer Movie Preview/The Boomer Zoomer Movie Recap/The Zoomer Boomer Movie Review/The Boomer Zoomer Movie Preview/The Zoomer Boomer Movie Revue and The Boomer Zoomer Movie Recap would be downright silly. However, their show's title aside, Boomer and Zoomer the people remain true to themselves and their unbridled passion for cinema throughout, and in listening to their journeys through film history, you may just end up learning something new about yourself, art, or the world we live in. You will absolutely learn how many times a grown-ass man in his late 70s can get COVID and somehow continue to live, motivated almost solely by the selfish desire to go see Forrest Gump II again in theaters, even (especially?) if it means infecting literally everyone else in attendance around them with a potentially lethal virus. So if that sounds like a good time to you, congrats, you'll get all of it and more in this taut 200-minute package. WRYAT proudly presents The Boomer Zoomer (in either order) Movie Review (or any variation thereof): The Entire Filmography for your listening consideration. Thank you, and God Bless Hollywood, USA in America.

    WRYAT presents The Loupe Guroo Musical Experience: The Collected Works, Vol. 1

    Hey, everybody! Howl yawl doin'?  Oooooh, that is so good to hear. Ya know what else is good to hear? Music, of course! And who hears it better than WRYAT's own in-house (sometimes literally) on-air off-book DJ, Loupothy Albus Severus Gooru? Or "Loupe Gooru" for short? Or just "Loupe" for even shorter but only if you're on a first-name basis with each other? For years, DJ Loupe Gooru spun wild tales and led WRYAT listeners down magical mystery tracks of all things music in and around the Greater New Orleans Area. This first volume of his collected works chronicles his interviews with musicians, run-ins with coyotes, musical musings, and calendar after calendar of live music performances & venues from 2019 through the first two and a half months of 2020 before Loupe mysteriously went missing. Yes, there was also that pandemic, but nobody remembers or even cares about that anymore. Besides, a lot of that stuff was largely unrelated to whatever was going on in Loupe's life at the time. Of course, no one's really clear on what's happening in Loupe's life at any time, least of all Loupe. You'll learn that (and so much more) listening to his body of work in its entirety, and every question about the man that actually does get answered raises about ten other questions that will hopefully never receive anything resembling answers of any kind. Hey, don't ask about anything you don't wanna know about, you know? Because if you know anything, it's not to ask about everything, because you never know what you'll never wanna know, even if you think you wanna know.  You know? Alright, y'all! Get to listenin' to Loupe at his most musically-oriented in this volume, and be sure to check out less music but more Loupe in the second volume if ya give a coyote's howl! Then give us a coyote's howl, would ya? Come on, it's easy! Ya just open your mouth real wide while tryin' to purse your lips together at the same time and go "HOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWLLLLLLLOOOOOOOLLLLLLLL!"  ...or something like that. I mean, the best I can do is guess. I'm a description, not a person.

    WRYAT presents The Loupe Guroo Musical Experience: The Collected Works, Vol. 2

    Hey everybody! Welcome back to the second and final volume of The Loupe Guroo Musical Experience: The Collected Works! What does Loupe get up to in the second half of his WRYAT run, you ask? Welllllllllllllllllll... The King's crossing was the main attraction Dominoes falling in a chain reaction The scraping subject ruled by fear told me Whiskey works better than beer The judge is on vinyl, decisions are final And nobody gets a reprieve And every wave is tidal If you hang around you're going to get wet I can't prepare for death any more than I already have All you can do now is watch the shells The game looks easy that's why it sells Frustrated fireworks inside your head Are going to stand and deliver talk instead The method acting that pays my bills Keeps the fat man feeding in Beverly Hills I got a heavy metal mouth, it hurls obscenity And I get my check from the trash treasury Because I took my own insides out It don't matter 'cause I have no sex life And all I wanna do now is inject my ex-wife I've seen the movie And I know what happens It's Christmas time And the needles on the tree A skinny Santa is bringing something to me His voice is overwhelming But his speech is slurred And I only understand every other word Open your parachute and grab your gun Falling down like an omen, a setting sun Read the part and return at five It's a hell of a role if you can keep it alive But I don't care if I f**k up I'm going on a date With a rich wife lady Ain't life great? Give me one good reason not to do it (Because we love you) So do it This is the place where time reverses  And dead men talk to all the pretty nurses Instruments shine on a silver tray Don't let me get carried away Don't let me get carried away Don't let me be carried away Alright everybody, thank y'a-woooooooolllllllllll for listenin' and loopin' with the guru of loops himself, Loupe Gooru, or Loupothy Albus Severus Gooru for long, or DJ Loupothy Albus Severus Gooru-Coyote for slightly longer! We hope you enjoyed your experience with The Loupe Gooru Musical Experience in its entirety, because this is literally all there is and all there'll ever be. It's too late for us to change anything now, so if you had notes this whole time, you shoulda listened to us and let us know back when we were still on the air sometime during, I dunno, THE PAST SEVEN YEARS?! Loupe would never say this to any one of you ungrateful m***********s but you pieces of shit don't deserve him, or any of WRYAT for that matter. Seven f*****g years and you couldn't be f*****g bothered. Seven f*****g years. The reason you think we never have to put up with any of your b******t is because we make it look like we're not. It's because we care, and we thought you felt the same way. Trust us, we have had to put up with so, so, so much more from you than you could ever, ever, ever know.  Oh, don't try to explain yourself now. No excuses necssary. The goddamn show's over now anyway. And good news: you still never have to listen to it! Virtually nothing's changed for you, so sit back, relax and take a minute to just shut the f**k up. Just shut the f**k up. Shut the f**k up, and then howl, damn it! Howl and f**k off forever! (Unless, of course, you did actually listen to Loupe and WRYAT, in which case, thank you so much!)
