3Peat rapper **[E.GG](https://eggnmx.bandcamp.com/)** is back again, seemingly out of nowhere, with the release of his masterful new record, _[Est. 1873](https://eggnmx.bandcamp.com/album/est-1873)_. We talk with E.GG and producer **Rayny** about the making of the record, its heavy Winnipeg focus, and the album's 'winter' vibe when contrasted with E.GG's Alverstone. Est. 1873 is seeing an [official release](https://www.facebook.com/events/514114632294918/) Dec. 8 at X-Cues Cafe and Lounge. This episode is brought to you by an upcoming event presented by FanQuest. Come out to Dinos and Drinks with Nyco Rudolph, Dec. 4 at PEG Beer Co.!

This week's guest, rapper E.GG, was involved in two of 2016's best local albums -- 3Peat's debut EP and the more personal, contemplative Alverstone, a solo joint that snuck in at the end of the year and gets better with every listen. We hung out after-hours in a barbershop to chat with E.GG about how his upbringing in Winnipeg's West End neighbourhood shaped him as an artist, his goals for both 3Peat and his burgeoning solo career, and his desire to introduce Alverstone and his unique storytelling style to listeners outside of the local rap scene... beginning with a solo show Feb. 10!

This week, It’s Character Heartthrob who can act time, as we go through a family Melodrama with Dean, start a revolution on a Island with Brando, and try and benefit from a war in the Gulf with Clooney, Wahlberg and Cube. Also due to our adopted ward Alverstone, we advance one year in age through the means of song. Welcome to They Don’t Make ‘em Like They Used To.
This evening, in honour of the recent anniversary of the Battle of Britain, We have a look at World War two movies through the ages, starting in the obvious place, we go through bonafide classics, Hidden gems and modern throwbacks. We also hear tales of the great Howard Keel from Pam in our pet ward Alverstone . Welcome to They Don’t Make ‘em Like They Used To
On the show tonight we have a wild ride with brothers Jake and Elwood with a little help from Ray, we have a really long walk with brothers Craig and Charlie and we are not going to take any you know what from anyone with Buford. And not forgetting our adopted ward Alverstone we have a patient’s choice that will have you singing in the shower. Welcome to They don’t make em like they used to. Films discussed The Blues brothers South Pacific Walking Tall Sunshine on Leith
As promised, we pick a suggestion from our recent facebook Requests. Tiberiu Chis (how do you pronounce that?) is up with Roman Holiday. We head into Alverstone ward at St Mary's Hospital, Isle of Wight, where we get ambushed by some lovely "first cinematic experience" stories. And we touch upon a THX1138, the relatively hidden gem in George Lucas' closet without which the name Skywalker might never have seen light of day. Welcome to They Don't Make 'em Like They Used To.
This evening, we spend some time in Dunkirk, waiting with the allies to be evacuated to England, We’re off to Japan for what promises to be an enlightening experience, talk about why you should always triple check those references before taking in a lodger. And Mary from Alverstone ward in the Hospital joins us with a song that always makes her cry. Welcome to they don’t make ‘em like they used to.
For our easter special, we kick off with a composing Lord asking questions about THE Lord, talk about a film that killed the career of the greatest director you've never heard of, and chase the staff of Alverstone Ward on St. Mary's Hospital on the Isle of Wight with a microphone till they tell us the first film they ever watched on the silver screen. Welcome to They Don't Make 'em Like They Used To.
