    Previewing E-Motion Sickness: A Love Boat Re-Watch Podcast
    Jan 10 2026
    set sail with its maiden voyage, and we’re not easing into calm waters. In this debut episode, John Siuntres and Franco dive headfirst into Season One, Episode One of The Love Boat, the episode that launched a TV institution and defined late-’70s comfort viewing for decades to come. Joining them as this week’s guest passenger is Margaret Larkin from The Radio Girl Podcast, bringing sharp insight, and zero tolerance for shallow nostalgia. Together, the crew breaks down:
    • The episode’s multiple guest-star storylines and how the rotating-romance format was established right out of the gate
    • Who these guest stars really were beyond their Love Boat appearances—career highs, unexpected turns, and pop-culture context
    • Behind-the-scenes facts, network strategy, and why this show worked when it absolutely shouldn’t have
    • What holds up, what’s already dated, and what still weirdly works
    This isn’t a breezy recap. It’s a smart, funny, occasionally skeptical re-watch that treats The Love Boat as both a time capsule and a television machine built to last. Climb aboard. The champagne is cheap, emotions are high, and the seas may get choppy.

  • Scene Missing Anatomy Of A Murder

    Scene Missing Anatomy Of A Murder
    Jan 9 2026
    Today On Word Balloon Scene Missing takes a deep dive into Otto Preminger’s Anatomy of a Murder, the landmark courtroom drama that shattered Hollywood taboos and rewrote how adult themes could be portrayed on screen.

    Joining me is Chicago radio legend Dan McNeil, known to generations of listeners from WSCR and WMVP, bringing his sharp perspective and cultural memory to the conversation. We break down why Anatomy of a Murder was so controversial in 1950.From its frank sexual dialogue and moral ambiguity to Duke Ellington’s groundbreaking jazz score, and why it still feels modern today. McNeil and I examine James Stewart’s career-defining performance, George C. Scott’s volcanic debut, and Preminger’s fearless refusal to spoon-feed the audience easy answers.

    This isn’t just a film-school autopsy. It’s a conversation about censorship, masculinity, truth versus storytelling, and how a supposedly “old” movie still punches harder than most modern courtroom dramas. Smart, opinionated, and unapologetically adult.
