This episode features an unique discussion of the 1998 film Next Stop Wonderland starring Hope Davis and directed by Brad Anderson.  As we are one year from the 20th anniversary of the film, Terry didn't want to do a regular breakdown of the film.  There are likely spoilers in this episode but one hopes that the discussion will encourage watching or re-watching one of Terry's favorite films of 1990s. So in this discussion, Terry explores some history with some of the actors in the film as well as his own personal history of watching the film.  Also, Terry speaks about his fascination with the soundtrack and bossa nova in general.  Towards the end, there are a couple of film recommendations as well as a slice of Terry's creative thought surrounding what he wanted in the third segment of Before series (which would be named Before Midnight). All of this and more is framed around a nod to a recurring moment in Next Stop Wonderland.  To do this, Terry used a few randomly selected words from Anna Kendrick's Scrappy Little Nobody.  Like most random things, there were some good outcomes and some not-so-good outcomes.  Think of it as one more layer in a podcast lasagna that is trying to bubble over in the pan.

Aaron reminded Terry of a theory that Terry suggested regarding how the finale of How I Met Your Mother might play out.  The rather dark theory was the seed of the main discussion for this proper premiere episode of the podcast.  Scattered throughout the discussion are some musical and movie connections that while they pay homage to the carefully tangled plot weaved on How I Met Your Mother they also should serve as spoiler-free detours from the main discussion. If you have not seen the episodes of HIMYM titled "Unpause" and "How Your Mother Met Me", one is strongly suggested to heed the spoiler alerts throughout the episode. Some of but necessary not all of the topics discussed in this episodes (besides HIMYM):  Spooky Empire, Frances Ha, Guided By Voices, The Magnetic Fields, Next Stop Wonderland, Mad About You, The Big Bang Theory, Sports Night, Futurama, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, The Newsroom Download our show at flickeringwaves.com (powered by libsyn) or subscribe and download on iTunes.  On iTunes, please rate our show.  Terry and Aaron like five-star reviews even if one needs to offer up not-so-glowing comments with said review.  We're on Facebook at the group "The Flickering Waves Podcast" and on Twitter (@flickeringwaves).

Movie Meltdown - Episode 229 Always going that extra step to find our audience, this week we set up shop at the Flea Off Market to spread the word about the show. But then as usual, we just hang out and primarily talk amongst ourselves about movies. So as we are seated there between carved statues of bears, various clothing articles and the multitude of record vendors... we proceed to discuss important subjects like Iron Man 3, Pain and Gain, The Call, Kiss of the Damned and - The Notebook? Plus the gloves come off... as we discuss what child of a celebrity is a complete sociopath. But what we didn't expect was the "interesting" people we would meet while we were there, including a guy in a killer whale shirt, a woman who claims she delivered a pizza to Harry Dean Stanton and a vendor who tells us he likes to run marathons dressed in his Captain Jean Luc Picard uniform. You gotta love the flea market!  Plus as we attempt to suplex a small child, we also mention... sea shells crafted into Ninja Turtles, the death tunnel, justice vs. wasted tax-payer dollars, going to the drive-in, Session 9, self absorbed machismo, Tony Stark, a Hollywood surreal art house film, Jennifer Garner, Marvel vs. DC, The State Lunatic Hospital at Danvers, Rogue vs. Storm, spawned something, Donatello... the survivor, John Cassavete's films, Vincent D'onofrio, Silence of the Lambs Lite, Star Trek, Xan Cassavetes, John Carter, Happy Accidents, Milo Ventimiglia, Faces, Brad Anderson, Gothika, having an underground lair, the M. Night school of script picking, a fake, Michael Bay, going to Cheeks, High Fidelity, Waverly Hills Sanatorium, The Island, Thor in Santa Fe, Next Stop Wonderland, smelling hair, the Iron Man paradox, post-traumatic lock down, The Machinist, Reverend Horton Heat's phone number, being dressed like the Universal Monsters, Halle Berry, Dances with Wolves, the natal pod that birthed you, a collection of wiffle bats and a shark mouth that you could walk through.  Spoiler Alert: Spoilers for "The Call" are contained in this episode.  Also... for those who are wrestling-ignorant as we are, David Otunga aka Officer Jake Devans, is a WWE wrestler.  "People show minor interest in our wares and then wander off..."

It's a jam packed feedback show, from "Drive" to more soundtracks worthy of mention, including "Juno," "Tank Girl," "Friday Night Lights," "Valley Girl," "Next Stop Wonderland," “Jackie Brown” and “Go.” Then we move over to the small screen for early takes on now shows, including "Ringer," "Person of Interest," and "New Girl."
