Podcasts about Foos

Derek Champagne talks with the Godfather of reissue culture, Richard Foos. Richard Foos launched his entertainment career shortly after college in a small storefront on Santa Monica Boulevard. What began as a quirky record store evolved into Rhino Records, one of the most respected reissue labels in the world. It became a hub for collectors, and in 1978, he and his partner, Harold Bronson, launched the label. The Rhino team is credited with inventing “reissue culture,” which in the aggregate has sold many hundreds of millions of records and CDs. In 1998, Rhino Entertainment Company was fully acquired by Time Warner. It became the catalogue development and marketing division of Warner Music Group, where it continues today, reissuing the great artists on Warner labels. Richard stayed with the company until 2002. In 2003, Richard and his two partners, Bob Emmer and Garson Foos, launched Shout! Factory, shifting the focus toward TV and film. Shout! Studios is now a part of Radial Entertainment, where Richard serves as a consultant for the company. Beyond business, Richard is also known for his social activism. Foos currently serves as Board Chair of both TheNarrative Method and Volunteer Collective. He also serves on the Board of Governors of Cedars Sinai, and on the boards of Pico Union Project, Inc., Brave New Films, College Match LA, and Hoover Intergenerational Care, which he co-founded in 1976. Richard is married to therapist Shari Foos, who is the founder of The Narrative Method.Visit Radial EntertainmentBusiness Leadership Series Intro and Outro music provided by Just Off Turner: https://music.apple.com/za/album/the-long-walk-back/268386576

404 Coyote vs Acme Lives Wolverine Carnage Dolly Parton Tim Curry Peter CullenDoom Scrolling IntroThe Foos are back after a night at The Glass House seeing Spineshank and (hed) p.e., complete with an aging-but-still-functioning mosh pit, brewery stops, stouts, cider, and late-night al pastor burritos.Then the fast-food nostalgia wars continue. The Hello Kitty x Godzilla McDonald's collection is almost complete, Burger King is coming after millennials with Dragon Ball Super toys, Jack in the Box may have a Simpsons Treehouse of Horror takeover coming, and Krispy Kreme already got them with Pokémon. Apparently adults with disposable income are the new Happy Meal demographic.Before Geeking Out, Joe and Steph pay tribute to three icons lost this week: Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, and Peter Cullen. They look back at Dolly's music, philanthropy and surprising Buffy connection; Tim Curry's legendary roles from Rocky Horror and Clue to Pennywise; and Peter Cullen's unmistakable Optimus Prime voice and the touching story behind how he created it.Geeking Out starts with Coyote vs. Acme finally making it into theaters after nearly becoming a tax write-off. The Foos revisit the bizarre road that nearly buried the completed Looney Tunes movie and why its survival became bigger than the movie itself.Then Marvel's Wolverine turns the violence all the way up ahead of its PS5 release, with dismemberment, brutal combat and Logan behaving exactly like Wolverine should. EA's long-missing Iron Man game also resurfaces after unfinished gameplay leaks online, finally proving the project still exists.Star Wars gets tactical with Zero Company, a turn-based Clone Wars-era game that Joe immediately compares to XCOM. Steph also dives into the newest extended look at GTA VI, including Vice City, Jason and Lucia, preorder bonuses and the question everyone still has: is this game actually going to release?They close Geeking Out with the sad news that Tippett Studio is shutting down after 35 years, marking the end of another major piece of practical-effects history tied to Star Wars, RoboCop, Starship Troopers and more. Plus, LA Comic Con costume planning begins with April O'Neil, Casey Jones and the increasingly dangerous possibility of Joe showing up as Raphael in a trench coat.Here's What I Would Do brings two career dilemmas: Marcus in Pasadena finally lands his dream job, only to learn everyone he trusts says the company is miserable to work for. Anthony in El Monte faces something even heavier — his family expects him to take over the restaurant his grandparents started, but preserving the family legacy might mean giving up the career and life he actually wants.ChaptersDoom Scrolling IntroSpineshank + (hed) p.e. at The Glass HouseGodzilla Hello Kitty collection + Dragon Ball Burger KingSimpsons Jack in the Box + Pokémon Krispy KremeFatality Dolly PartonFatality Tim CurryFatality Peter Cullen Optimus PrimeCoyote vs Acme finally hits theatersMarvel Wolverine PS5 brutalityLeaked Iron Man game footageStar Wars Zero CompanyGTA VI extended lookTippett Studio closes after 35 yearsLA Comic Con costume planningHere's What I Would Do Dream job with terrible reputationHere's What I Would Do Taking over the family restaurantOutro + Doom Scrolling OutroCoyote vs Acme, Marvel Wolverine, Wolverine PS5, Iron Man game, Star Wars Zero Company, GTA VI, Tippett Studio, Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, Peter Cullen, Optimus Prime, Dragon Ball Burger King, Hello Kitty Godzilla, The Foobar Show

403 Jimothy Rally Raccoon Dave Bautista Kratos Welcome to Derry Godzilla TriviaDoom Scrolling IntroThe Foos are back after Joe survives Just Like Heaven Festival, Steph narrowly avoids getting bitten at work, and somehow alcohol continues to qualify as hydration. Joe recaps seeing The Strokes, Chromeo, and Matt and Kim at the Rose Bowl, plus Guitar Center's Drum-Off Finals at the Fonda with Bill Burr, John Stamos, Tré Cool, Brad Wilk, Alex González from Maná, and more.Then Seattle introduces the greatest sports mascot nobody asked for: Jimothy, a round neighborhood raccoon who became the Mariners' unofficial rally animal. Scoreboard graphics turn into clubhouse shirts, ticket promotions, charity donations, and Jimothy entering the team's salmon race because apparently baseball analytics have finally peaked.Geeking Out starts with Dave Bautista taking over as Kratos in Prime Video's live-action God of War series. Then It: Welcome to Derry heads even further into the past for Season 2, jumping to the Great Depression and the Bradley Gang massacre while expanding Pennywise's history.The Foos also get into the upcoming live-action Naruto, with Charles Melton reportedly circling Kakashi; Ryan Gosling as Ghost Rider; and why Marvel should let Ghost Rider become an actual horror movie instead of another standard superhero flick.Podzilla returns for the Hello Kitty x Godzilla McDonald's Happy Meal collection, including Hello Kitty as Godzilla, Keroppi as King Ghidorah, My Melody as Mothra, Kuromi as Mechagodzilla, and more. That naturally turns into a 15-question Godzilla trivia challenge where Joe discovers Godzilla can apparently fly and finishes with a spectacular 9/15.Pokémon gets in on the fast-food chaos too with Krispy Kreme's 30th anniversary doughnuts featuring Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Jigglypuff, and collectible cups.Here's What I Would Do begins with an update from Andrea in La Habra after her ancestry test revealed a secret half-sister — and yes, the family tree officially exploded. Then Nate from San Clemente gets offered $15,000 to skip his best friend's Cabo wedding, while Eddie from Redondo Beach discovers his wife's definition of vacation involves spreadsheets, reservations, and an alarming phrase: “8:15 AM leisurely breakfast.”ChaptersDoom Scrolling IntroJust Like Heaven Festival + The StrokesGuitar Center Drum-Off Finals + Bill BurrJimothy the Seattle Mariners rally raccoonGeeking Out Dave Bautista as KratosWelcome to Derry Season 2 Great DepressionLive-action Naruto + Kakashi castingRyan Gosling Ghost RiderPodzilla Hello Kitty x Godzilla Happy MealsGodzilla Trivia Joe scores 9 out of 15Krispy Kreme Pokémon doughnutsHere's What I Would Do Ancestry test follow-up$15,000 to skip a best friend's weddingVacation spreadsheet vs doing absolutely nothingOutro + Doom Scrolling OutroJimothy raccoon, Seattle Mariners, Dave Bautista Kratos, God of War series, Welcome to Derry Season 2, Pennywise, Naruto live action, Charles Melton Kakashi, Ryan Gosling Ghost Rider, Hello Kitty Godzilla, Godzilla trivia, Pokemon Krispy Kreme, ancestry DNA surprise, The Foobar Show

402 Avengers Doomsday New X-Men Lanterns Disney Villains LandDoom Scrolling IntroThe Foos are back after nearly a month away, and the backyard project is finally done — although Joe's arm is still messed up and Steph is recovering from a badly sprained ankle courtesy of Steph Kwon Do. They recap Anthony Jeselnik at the Ontario Improv and break down the 5 weirdos you always meet at a comedy club: the super fan, the punchline repeater, the wannabe opening act, the person terrified of crowd work, and the offended partner who suddenly turns date night into couples therapy.They also react to Motown legend Martha Reeves' viral national anthem performance and debate how much the lack of stage monitors, weather, backup vocals, and being 85 years old should factor into the criticism.Geeking Out starts with the new Avengers: Doomsday footage, including Doctor Doom facing off with the Avengers, Fantastic Four, and X-Men — plus a ridiculous moment involving Thor's Stormbreaker. The Foos get into Robert Downey Jr. as Doom, multiverse theories, and why Doom needs to be more than evil Tony Stark.Marvel also reveals its new X-Men lineup, with Sadie Sink as Jean Grey, Kit Connor as Cyclops, Indy Navarretti as Rogue, Maya Boyd as Storm, Christopher Abbott as Professor X, Samara Weaving as Emma Frost, and Adam Driver as Mr. Sinister. Joe and Steph agree that starting with Mr. Sinister instead of immediately going back to Magneto is the smarter move.Star Wars: Starfighter brings Ryan Gosling into a new corner of the galaxy, while DC's Lanterns goes full True Detective with Hal Jordan and John Stewart investigating an alien-connected murder. Then Disney gets sinister with a massive Villains Land featuring Maleficent, the Evil Queen, Ursula, Scar, Jafar, Hades, Cruella, and more.Steph also previews the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art and what comes with their membership before their upcoming visit.Here's What I Would Do brings two dilemmas: Andrea from La Habra takes an ancestry DNA test and accidentally discovers a 28-year-old half-sister her married father apparently never told the family about. Then Trevor from Escondido buys a storage unit and finds decades of family memories, military letters, photos, and a Purple Heart — forcing him to decide whether legally owning something means it's morally his to keep.ChaptersDoom Scrolling IntroBackyard finished + injuries5 Weirdos at a Comedy ClubAnthony Jeselnik recapMartha Reeves national anthemAvengers Doomsday trailer + Doctor DoomMarvel reveals the new X-MenAdam Driver as Mr. SinisterStar Wars Starfighter Ryan GoslingLanterns goes True DetectiveDisney Villains LandLucas Museum of Narrative ArtHere's What I Would Do Ancestry DNA surprise sisterHere's What I Would Do Storage unit Purple Heart dilemmaKing of the Hill Season 2Outro + Doom Scrolling OutroAvengers Doomsday, Doctor Doom, Robert Downey Jr, new X-Men MCU, Mr Sinister, Adam Driver, Star Wars Starfighter, Ryan Gosling, Lanterns DC, Green Lantern, Disney Villains Land, Lucas Museum, Anthony Jeselnik, comedy club etiquette, ancestry DNA surprise, storage unit auction, King of the Hill

Rhino Records co-founder Richard Foos reveals how a scrappy record shop invented reissue culture, chasing master tapes, getting arrested for selling bootleg records, memories of Frank Zappa, Darby Crash and more. Topics Include: Foos discusses being called originator of reissue culture, credits early employee's phrase. Started as a Los Angeles record shop in 1973. Recalls how scarce and cheap rare records were before collecting culture existed. Describes hunting records at warehouses, swap meets, and Salvation Army stores. Notes punk rock's DIY ethos sparked broader music fandom and collecting. Rhino's shop became a punk hangout; Darby Crash was banned for chaos. Explains how punk bands pressed 45s since albums were too costly. James Brown's out-of-print catalog became Rhino's breakthrough first major reissue. Details licensing process: major labels' passive licensing departments simply approved requests. Rhino insisted on original master tapes, never secondary sources or stampers. Engineer Bill Englott restored recordings purely, never altering original mixes. Some projects stalled without usable masters, like a punk box set. Nuggets compilation missed "96 Tears" for years due to licensing issues. Foos explains Rhino's sequencing philosophy: welcoming newcomers, not strict chronology. Doo-wop box set, initially unpopular internally, became Rhino's best-selling release. Discusses 20-25 year nostalgia cycles driving collectibility of past decades' music. Notes scarce 2000s vinyl pressings now make that era highly collectible. Rhino focused on best listening experience over rarities for rarity's sake. Foos recounts pre-Rhino bootlegging ties and friendship with bootleg artist Bill Stout. Reveals he was arrested for selling bootlegs during a warehouse sale. Discusses how record labels misunderstood fandom, limiting artist output and bootlegs. Reflects on vinyl's spiritual appeal despite many records never being played. Compares cassette-era scarcity to streaming's shifting availability of licensed content. Predicts streaming remains the future, praises YouTube's vast musical accessibility. Doubts catalog values will keep rising, questions which artists endure historically. Criticizes a post-Rhino "L.A. Nuggets" box set for prioritizing rarity over listenability. Recalls Kinky Friedman rejecting a hits compilation over disliking his originals. Explains publishing hurdles licensing music for Freaks and Geeks and WKRP DVDs. Describes working with Frank Zappa on Beat the Boots and elaborate packaging. Shares current work: Shout Factory, wife's Narrative Method, and a new podcast.

Today's guest is an entrepreneur par excellence. Welcome the founder of Rhino Records and Shout! Factory, Richard Foos. We go back to Richard's early days and find out how music became so important to him. He talks about his early attempts in the record business and how that eventually evolved into Rhino Records. He then tells how Rhino Records, the record store, became Rhino Records, the record label. We talk about how Rhino singlehandedly created the reissue market, how it evolved to include bonus material, and how they find that stuff. He sold Rhino and used the same formula with his next venture, Shout! Factory, but turning the focus to TV and movies, including my favorite, Mystery Science Theater 3000. He sold Shout! Factory and is now focusing on nonprofit work and a possible podcast. Keep an ear out for it! Follow us @PerformanceAnx and check out performanceanx.threadless.com for our merch.

On Your World of Creativity, we travel around the world talking with creative practitioners, entrepreneurs, artists, and innovators about how they get inspired, organize ideas, and turn imagination into impact.Today's guest didn't just build a successful business—he helped create an entirely new category within the entertainment industry.Richard Foos was the co-founder of Rhino Records and most recently of Shout! Factory, two companies that transformed the way music, television, and film archives are valued, distributed, and monetized. What began as a passion for out-of-print records became a movement that helped define today's streaming culture, vinyl resurgence, and the growing importance of content libraries.Richard's WebsiteRichard's Facebook pageWe'll explore creativity, entrepreneurship, cultural preservation, and what happens when you discover opportunity hiding in plain sight.Guest BioRichard Foos is the co-founder of Rhino Records, one of the most influential reissue labels in music history, and later Shout! Factory, a pioneering company focused on television and film distribution.Beginning with a small record store on Santa Monica Boulevard, Richard and his partner Harold Bronson built Rhino into a globally respected brand known for preserving, restoring, and reintroducing forgotten and out-of-print music to new generations of listeners.The success of Rhino helped establish what many now call reissue culture—a model that transformed entertainment economics by demonstrating the long-term value of existing catalogs. Rhino was eventually acquired by Time Warner and became the catalog development and marketing division of Warner Music Group.Richard later co-founded Shout! Factory, bringing similar innovation to television and film archives. Today he continues advising the entertainment industry while focusing on social impact through organizations including The Narrative Method, Volunteer Collective, Cedars Sinai, and other nonprofit initiatives.His career sits at the intersection of creativity, commerce, culture, memory, and preservation.1: Seeing Opportunity Where Others Saw ObsolescenceRichard, one of the themes we explore on this podcast is creative vision—the ability to see possibilities that others overlook.Back in the 1970s, most of the entertainment industry was focused almost exclusively on the next release, the next hit, the next trend.What led you to recognize value in out-of-print recordings and forgotten catalogs when much of the industry considered them yesterday's news? Was there a specific artist, album, or moment that convinced you this could become a business? How much of that insight came from being a fan versus being an entrepreneur?2: The Soul of the Rhino BrandLooking back at Rhino Records and now Shout! Factory:What was your focus?What work were you really doing beyond selling records and media?Who were you serving?What gave you credibility?What industry assumptions were you challenging?And what larger mission connected all of it?3: Reissue Culture Changed EverythingToday we take streaming libraries, catalog recommendations, and rediscovered classics for granted. But Rhino helped create the blueprint.How did the process of licensing, restoring, packaging, and reintroducing older content evolve into what has now become one of the dominant business models in entertainment? What resistance did you encounter from record labels and rights holders in the early days? When did you realize the model was bigger than a niche collector audience?4: What Audiences Teach Us About CreativityOne of the fascinating aspects of your career is that you've spent decades observing how audiences reconnect with older creative work. What patterns have you seen in how people rediscover music, television, and film from previous generations? And what does that tell us about human creativity, nostalgia, storytelling, and cultural memory?5: The Future of Creativity, Archives, and Cultural LegacyToday, entertainment companies increasingly view their catalogs as some of their most valuable assets.Streaming platforms are built on libraries. Vinyl sales continue to grow. Legacy content often outperforms new releases. What does this shift tell us about the future of creativity and content consumption? And what advice would you give today's creators about building work that remains valuable decades from now?If you enjoyed today's conversation, please subscribe, rate, and review the podcast.

401 VelociPastor II Interview Jurassic Park Trivia Comic Con CarrieDoom Scrolling IntroThe Foos kick off the 400s with yard-work injuries, mosquito attacks, and the ongoing backyard project that may or may not destroy Joe's arm before it's done. Steph explains her mosquito bite allergy situation, Joe suspects he messed up his elbow trenching in 90-degree weather, and somehow this still counts as progress.Geeking Out starts with San Diego Comic-Con week: Marvel is expected to bring Avengers Doomsday heat to Hall H, Insomniac is showing off Marvel's Wolverine, DC is bringing Batman: Caped Crusader and Lanterns energy, Guillermo del Toro is tied to Pan's Labyrinth programming, and The VelociPastor II is premiering at the con with a double feature of the original movie.Then it's horror TV news: Mike Flanagan is bringing Stephen King's Carrie to Prime Video as a series, which actually makes sense given his track record with Gerald's Game and Doctor Sleep. The Foos also talk American Horror Story Season 13 bringing back a massive lineup of franchise favorites, including Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, Emma Roberts, and Billie Lourd.In honor of Sam Neill, Steph runs Joe through Jurassic Park trivia focused on the original movie. There are correct answers, wrong answers, technical difficulties, a timer disaster, and the realization that the first dinosaur they see is not the Triceratops with the giant pile of poop.The main event is an interview with Jesse Gouldsberry, director of The VelociPastor II and producer/director of photography on the original VelociPastor. Jesse talks about how a fake title and college short became a real cult movie, how the first trailer went micro-viral and even landed on G4's Attack of the Show, the jump from the first film's tiny budget to the sequel, and why having more money doesn't mean losing the handmade chaos.They dig into the fake Australian trailer narration, the legendary “VFX: Car on fire” placeholder gag, balancing intentionally ridiculous filmmaking with actual story structure, the pressure of making a sequel to a cult favorite, and the DIY production choices that keep the movie feeling like community-theater grindhouse insanity in the best way possible.Jesse also talks about premiering The VelociPastor II in a 14th-century church in Prague, bringing it to San Diego Comic-Con, planning a roadshow, getting rights back to the first film, possible future streaming/distribution plans, and why fans should ask their local theaters to bring the movie to town.ChaptersDoom Scrolling IntroIntroMosquito bites skeeter syndrome and yard work injuriesBackyard project trenching granite sod and chaosGeeking Out San Diego Comic-Con previewMarvel Avengers Doomsday Hall H expectationsMarvel's Wolverine deep dive at Comic-ConDC Batman Caped Crusader Lanterns and Pan's Labyrinth programmingThe VelociPastor II Comic-Con double feature previewMike Flanagan Carrie series for Prime VideoAmerican Horror Story Season 13 franchise reunionJurassic Park trivia in honor of Sam NeillInterview Jesse Gouldsberry joins the showThe VelociPastor origin fake title college short and G4VelociPastor II budget sequel pressure and DIY chaosFake Australian trailer voice and VFX car on firePrague church premiere and San Diego Comic-Con screeningRoadshow plans streaming rights and future VelociPastor ideasOutro + Doom Scrolling OutroThe Foobar Show, VelociPastor II, Jesse Gouldsberry, VelociPastor interview, San Diego Comic-Con 2026, Avengers Doomsday, Marvel's Wolverine, Batman Caped Crusader, Lanterns DC, Mike Flanagan Carrie, Stephen King, American Horror Story Season 13, Jurassic Park trivia, Sam Neill, grindhouse comedy, cult movie sequel

400 Moo Deng Neil the Seal Comic Con Doug Brode Shelli InterviewDoom Scrolling IntroThe Foos made it to 400 episodes. Joe and Steph celebrate with VMC cocktails, reflect on 8 years of The Foobar Show, and explain why some older episodes have disappeared from platforms over time. No huge blowout, no fake promises — just 400 episodes, a toast, and the usual chaos.The animal kingdom takes over the top of the show: Moo Deng officially turns 2, proving that the internet's favorite pygmy hippo is still the queen of slippery rage, bouncy pork energy, and conservation awareness. Then Neil the Seal finally takes his 2,200-pound chaotic ass back into the ocean after weeks of lounging around Tasmania, blocking roads, flattening signs, and refusing to respect anything vertical.Joe and Steph also explain why the podcast has been spotty lately: life, work, band stuff, Steph's Sunday schedule, and the massive backyard facelift happening because Steph volunteered the house for her brother's baby shower. There's also some Medieval Times talk because sometimes you just need dinner, jousting, horses, and giant beer steins.Geeking Out starts with San Diego Comic-Con: they didn't get badges, of course, but there's still plenty happening outside the convention — themed cafes, Paramount at the Lodge, Hello Kitty, Magic: The Gathering Marvel Super Heroes, Star Trek experiences, and all the badge-free chaos that makes downtown San Diego worth visiting during Comic-Con week.They also hit LA Comic Con tickets going on sale, with the convention returning October 30 through November 1 and guests already including Aaron Paul, Dean Norris, and performers from K-Pop Demon Hunters.Then it's long-awaited movie news: Legend of the White Dragon finally has a release date. The Jason David Frank-led, Power Rangers-adjacent action movie arrives August 28, and the Foos have been waiting years for this one.Avatar fans get love too: Aang: The Last Airbender is coming to Paramount+ on July 25 as a movie featuring an older Aang and the gang trying to save the world again. Joe and Steph revisit why the original Avatar series still holds up as one of the best animated shows ever made — adult themes, perfect pacing, emotional stakes, and Appa trauma included.Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey also enters the chat, with Matt Damon as Odysseus and a massive cast including Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, Charlize Theron, and Jon Bernthal. Practical ships, real locations, giant crowds, IMAX cameras, Greek mythology, and enough complicated storytelling to make Nolan feel right at home.The big feature this week is an interview with returning guest Doug Brode, storyboard/concept artist and author of the Ship saga and the Shelli synthetic crime series. Doug talks about Shelli: R-Evolution, why it is not actually the final Shelli book, how the series has grown, the challenge of writing sequels that stand alone, AI and synthetics, keeping villains understandable, writing in silence, short chapters, and why Shelli's world keeps expanding. He also shares that the first Shelli book is getting a 99-cent Kindle BookBub deal starting July 15.

399 Disclosure Day TMNT Pizza Ocarina Remake Management RegretDoom Scrolling IntroThe Foos are one episode away from 400, and while a big blowout special is still a “real big maybe,” they take a moment to acknowledge the milestone and the long, weird road to getting there.They recap a productive weekend, including house chores and a trip to LA to see Sparta open for Local H opening for The Toadies at the Belasco. Joe nerds out over Sparta's At the Drive-In connection, Local H's two-piece setup that somehow sounds like a full band, and The Toadies delivering plenty from the Possum Kingdom era. Also: a drunk guy in the pit goes way harder than the songs require.This week's Florida story features a fugitive accused of stealing crab legs from Winn-Dixie, then allegedly hiding inside an air conditioner air handler behind ductwork while his girlfriend hides in a closet. Because in Florida, seafood theft apparently turns you into HVAC.Geeking Out starts with Steven Spielberg's new alien thriller Disclosure Day, which opened big and brings Spielberg back into the alien-movie conversation. The Foos talk practical creativity versus AI, including Emily Blunt reportedly creating her alien clicking voice herself instead of using AI.Then it's food and nostalgia: the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pizzeria is opening in Santa Monica on June 20, fully decked out with cartoon-style décor, merch, neon turtle faces, and a pizza pickup counter designed like the front of the Turtle Van. They also shout out 50 Burger in Upland as a legit local smash burger spot.Nintendo drops a nostalgia bomb with a Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time remake planned for 2026, plus Switch/Switch 2 news and more from Nintendo Direct. The Foos compare it to the larger trend of remakes and remasters like Resident Evil and Final Fantasy.DC talk continues with Lanterns, the upcoming HBO Max series being pitched like a darker detective drama in the style of True Detective, plus My Adventures with Superman returning with a Reign of Superman-inspired season.Steph also spotlights Larry David's upcoming historical comedy series The Life, Larry, and the Pursuit of Unhappiness: An Almost History of America, which looks exactly like Larry David being dropped into major moments in history and complaining his way through them.Tech Talk makes a brief appearance with Logitech's MobiFold, a tiny foldable portable mouse that sounds surprisingly practical. They also remind listeners that Doug Brody's Shelley: Our Evolution is coming out June 19, and Steph is already deep into the book.Here's What I Would Do gets unusually existential:Michael (Irvine) got the management promotion he worked toward for years, but now misses the hands-on work he actually enjoyed.Rachel (Pasadena) isn't sure whether she wants kids, because both versions of the future — parenthood or child-free life — seem like they could be happy, and choosing one means letting go of the other.ChaptersDoom Scrolling IntroIntroOne episode away from 400 + possible milestone episodeBelasco recap Sparta Local H ToadiesDrunk pit energy during songs that did not need itFlorida fugitive steals crab legs hides in air conditionerGeeking Out Spielberg alien thriller Disclosure DayEmily Blunt practical alien voice vs AITMNT pizzeria opening in Santa Monica June 2050 Burger Upland smash burger shoutoutNintendo Direct Ocarina of Time remake nostalgia bombLanterns HBO Max True Detective superhero vibeMy Adventures with Superman Reign of Superman seasonLarry David historical comedy series previewLogitech MobiFold foldable portable mouseDoug Brody Shelley Our Evolution June 19Here's What I Would Do Promotion regret Michael IrvineHere's What I Would Do Deciding whether to have kids Rachel PasadenaOutro + Doom Scrolling Outro

398 Supergirl Sci Fi Surprise Wolverine Game I Farted in YogaDoom Scrolling IntroSteph kicks off a health reset (no drink tonight, trying to get less jiggly) while the Foos shout out a genuinely great local find: Pizza & Such in Ontario for Detroit-style deep dish — crunchy crust, honey drizzle, and somehow not feeling heavy afterward. Steph also shows off a tiny Kodak keychain-sized digital camera birthday gift, instantly turning it into a chaotic show-and-tell moment (complete with battery dying mid-demo).Then the absurd news story: London police are investigating a serial graffiti artist tagging walls with “I farted in yoga” (stylized with backwards letters and crude cartoons). No message, no politics, no manifesto — just a fart confession turning into a real police case. Somewhere in London, someone from that yoga class knows exactly who it is.Geeking Out starts with a surprise favorite: Project Hail Mary — the Foos accidentally watched one of the best sci-fi movies in years. They rave about Ryan Gosling's perfect funny/serious blend, the suspense, and how the movie guides you through without forcing you to do homework-level thinking. Steph calls it a straight 10.Supergirl hype continues too: new footage and promo materials tease a version that isn't “female Superman,” but a harsher, more traumatized character shaped by Krypton's collapse — with the Woman of Tomorrow tone guiding the adaptation.Then it's Summer Game Fest 2026 news: the event fully replaces what E3 used to be, delivering trailers and spectacle without the old trade show baggage. The Foos hit the biggest reveals and favorites: Resident Evil Code Veronica coming in 2027 (Claire Redfield spotlight), The Last Ronin getting revealed as a game (no release date yet), Star Wars Zero Company, major anticipation for Wolverine (bloody, intense gameplay from the Spider-Man studio), Final Fantasy VII Rebirth/Revelation trailer pointing to Spring 2027, Attack on Titan 3, and Marvel 1943 Rise of Hydra putting Captain America and Black Panther into a WWII setting with Unreal Engine 5 visuals.Here's What I Would Do brings two neighborhood problems:Jason (Fontana) is being terrorized by a neighbor's rooster that starts screaming at 5:15 AM like it's offended by the sun.Chris (Marietta) accidentally became the “hangout house” and now his friends schedule events at his place like it's a public venue — to the point where he finds out via group chat.They wrap with a quick tease: next week's show plans include Sparta opening for Local H opening for Toadies, with doors at 6 and the first band at 7.ChaptersDoom Scrolling IntroIntroSteph health reset no drinks summer body panicPizza & Such Detroit style deep dish honey drizzle shoutoutSteph's tiny Kodak keychain camera show and tellLondon graffiti mystery I farted in yoga becomes real investigationGeeking Out Project Hail Mary surprise sci fi favoriteSupergirl new footage Woman of Tomorrow toneSummer Game Fest 2026 replaces E3 recapResident Evil Code Veronica 2027 Claire RedfieldThe Last Ronin game reveal no release date yetStar Wars Zero Company August 27Wolverine gameplay hype from Spider-Man studioFinal Fantasy VII trilogy finale Spring 2027Attack on Titan 3 announcedMarvel 1943 Rise of Hydra Cap and Black Panther WWIIHere's What I Would Do rooster alarm clock neighbor Jason FontanaHere's What I Would Do friends treat my house like a venue Chris MariettaOutro + Doom Scrolling OutroProject Hail Mary, Ryan Gosling sci fi, Supergirl Woman of Tomorrow, Summer Game Fest 2026, Wolverine game, Resident Evil Code Veronica, The Last Ronin, Final Fantasy VII Spring 2027, Marvel 1943 Rise of Hydra, Attack on Titan 3, London graffiti I farted in yoga, rooster neighbor, hangout house problem

397 Year 9: StartDoom Scrolling IntroThe Foos celebrate 8 years of the FOOBAR Show (and quietly admit that simply mentioning it is basically the anniversary special). They catch up on the last couple weeks: staying busy, missing an episode, and committing to keeping the show going whenever life allows.Florida stays undefeated: a man gets arrested outside a Taco Bell after allegedly exposing himself — and deputies find a live betta fish in his backpack. The fish gets handed off safely, then promptly earns the only correct name possible: Baja Blast.Geeking Out starts with The Boys sticking the landing. The finale brings the chaos and the gore, but also more emotional closure than expected — and the Foos talk through the big swings, the character wrap-ups, and why a hopeful ending still felt on-brand even if some people are nitpicking plot holes.Next up: Spider-Man Noir premieres with Nicolas Cage as an older, worn-down private investigator version of Spider-Man in 1930s New York — and the coolest part is you can watch it in true black-and-white or in a stylized color version. The Foos are watching it in black-and-white for maximum noir vibes and it's hitting like a detective story first, superhero story second.Then the X-Men '97 Season 2 trailer finally drops, confirming the return date and teasing time-scattered X-Men, Apocalypse energy, and a bigger multi-season plan. The Foos dig into the hype, the tone, and what they hope stays consistent from the first season.They also recap seeing The Mandalorian and Grogu in ScreenX and break down what that format actually is: one main screen with projected side-wall visuals that kick in during big action and flight sequences. The verdict: it's basically a long, fun standalone Mandalorian episode — and that's exactly why it works.Steph closes Geeking Out with a heads-up for the Pokémon die-hards: Pokémon XP — the first fan convention hosted by The Pokémon Company International — is coming to San Francisco in August alongside the Pokémon Championships. There's a single-day pass interest list window and it's basically a lottery, so if you want in, get on it.Here's What I Would Do includes a follow-up victory lap from Alyssa (Costa Mesa) who turned off location sharing, survived, and refused to turn it back on even when her boyfriend got lost — plus a new letter from Brian (Temecula) whose wife keeps volunteering him for random community service missions without asking first.ChaptersDoom Scrolling IntroIntro8 Year Anniversary of the FOOBAR ShowFlorida man Taco Bell incident + betta fish named Baja BlastGeeking Out The Boys finale sticks the landingSpider-Man Noir Nicolas Cage black and white vs color versionsX-Men 97 Season 2 trailer return date and time scatter setupMandalorian and Grogu ScreenX reviewPokemon XP convention in San Francisco + ticket interest list lotteryHere's What I Would Do Alyssa location sharing updateHere's What I Would Do Wife volunteering husband Brian TemeculaOutro + Doom Scrolling OutroFOOBAR Show anniversary, The Boys finale, Spider-Man Noir, Nicolas Cage, X-Men 97 Season 2, Mandalorian and Grogu ScreenX, Florida man Taco Bell, betta fish Baja Blast, Pokemon XP San Francisco, Pokemon Championships, location sharing update, marriage volunteering spouse

Buddies! I'm back with another interview on Vinyl Community Podcasts, this time speaking with Richard Foos—the influential founder behind Rhino Entertainment and co-founder of Shout! Studios. Sometimes referred to as the "Godfather of Modern Reissues", the work from Richard's companies has been instrumental in the current "golden age" of vinyl, and have inspired reissue labels we know and love like Light in the Attic (LITA), Sundazed Music, and the folks in Salina, KS at Analogue Productions.  In this reflective interview, Foos shares the incredible journey from opening the original Rhino Records store in Westwood, Los Angeles in 1973 to building one of the most influential reissue labels in music history. From preserving lost music and comedy albums to pioneering deluxe box sets, archival releases, and collector culture, Richard Foos helped shape how generations of music fans experience physical media. With Rhino, he set a standard for quality and bonus essays, lost tracks, features, etc. that music fans have enjoyed for decades.  Topics include: The origins of his connection to music The early days of Rhino Records, the record store Building the reissue label and store through a couple "happy accidents" Legendary Rhino projects involving The Monkees, Ramones, James Brown and MORE! What goes into curating a reissue choice? from licensing to consumer desire to personal preferences Launching Shout! Factory and expanding into film and television preservation Why curation, community, and storytelling still matter What does he think of the "vinyl resurgence" of the past two decades? Moving away from the boardroom and into philanthropic projects like The Narrative Method and Volunteer Collective Did Dave Grohl "license" his name to when naming the Foo Fighters?   This conversation is essential listening for vinyl collectors, music historians, physical media enthusiasts, and anyone fascinated by the business and culture behind record collecting.   Often imitated, never duplicated, please join us for another fine interview courtesy of Vinyl Community Podcasts!  

Dave Grohl names the Foos "cringiest lyrics," new tech for anyone missing old school drive-in movies and we let Steve lose his mind over "football." See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

396 Mortal Kombat 2 Invincible Finale Boys Backlash Flight of the ConchordsDoom Scrolling IntroSteph kicks things off with a Tip Top canned cocktail (Jungle Bird) while the Foos recap a packed weekend: Joe's work family-day picnic vibes, notes for next year (more trucks, coffee cart dreams, boba cart fantasies), and a throwback hang with old band friends at Richie's birthday — the same house where they used to throw teenage ragers. Joe lands a darkly perfect joke: the only time people call you “young” at 40 is at your funeral.Then Florida delivers, as always: a homeless man allegedly catches a felony after throwing an open ketchup packet at a Good Samaritan who checked on him — with the real story being the drugs they reportedly found afterward. Florida stays undefeated.Geeking Out is stacked: the Foos review Mortal Kombat 2 (May 8) and declare it's basically a full-on Johnny Cage movie — bigger scale, more classic characters, more fan service, and fight scenes that feel like the game's arenas brought to life. They roast a friend for making it halfway through the movie before realizing he thought he was watching Street Fighter.They also hit the Invincible season 4 finale fallout: Mark's trauma, Thragg stepping up as the looming big threat, Viltrumite chaos, and the internet's meme machine going into overdrive (mustaches included). Then it's The Boys discourse: the newest episode getting the lowest rating of the series, pacing complaints, and the show flirting with burnout — plus the wild release idea of the series finale in 4DX one day early… and the local showings basically selling out instantly.From there it's rapid-fire: Green Day's upcoming comedy movie Nimrods (Legion M involvement), the Swatch x Audemars Piguet “Royal Pop” collab causing real-world chaos (lines, cops, pepper spray) over a watch you can't even buy online, and a Mortal Kombat trivia quiz where Steph nearly goes perfect… until the razor-hat question exposes the Kung Lao/Liu Kang mix-up.Here's What I Would Do wraps with two dilemmas:Tori (Burbank) thinks a married coworker is crossing the line with “work spouse” energy and wants to shut it down without workplace fallout.Alyssa (Costa Mesa) agreed to location sharing with her boyfriend and now feels watched — and the Foos call it what it is: modern convenience turning into surveillance real fast.Before the outro, they shout out the Flight of the Conchords show at the Greek (their first time in years), with surprise moments and guests — and plenty of “Netflix is a joke” energy.ChaptersDoom Scrolling IntroIntroTip Top Jungle Bird canned cocktail + weekend recapWork family day picnic notes coffee cart boba cart talkOld band friends Richie birthday throwback rager houseFlorida man felony over ketchup packet + drugs foundGeeking Out Mortal Kombat 2 review Johnny Cage movieFriend thought it was Street Fighter until halfway throughInvincible season 4 finale trauma Thragg Viltrumites memesThe Boys lowest rated episode discourse pacing burnoutThe Boys finale in 4DX one day early sold out scrambleGreen Day movie Nimrods Legion M summer releaseSwatch Audemars Piguet Royal Pop collab chaos lines copsMortal Kombat trivia quiz Steph almost perfectHere's What I Would Do Married coworker flirting Tori BurbankHere's What I Would Do Location sharing feels like surveillance Alyssa Costa MesaFlight of the Conchords at the Greek recapOutro + Doom Scrolling OutroMortal Kombat 2, Johnny Cage, Invincible season 4 finale, Thragg, Viltrumites, The Boys backlash, 4DX finale, Green Day Nimrods, Legion M, Swatch Audemars Piguet Royal Pop, Florida ketchup felony, Flight of the Conchords Greek Theatre, work spouse, location sharing
