A Fork In The Road Our plan was to talk about music formats specifically the resurgence of Vinyl, but as usual we go off on a tangent and end up talking instead about Twilight.

The biggest news of the week for us was the most excellent news that Bill and Ted Face The Music finally goes into pre-production. After 27 years it is finally coming so we discuss what we want to see in it. Who is the mentor going to be what is the story going to be like, and most importantly what is the soundtrack going to be like. Lets talk 90's sitcoms. We start with the Roseanne revival. Is it good? We are of course going to give you our opinions. Will Sabrina tie into Riverdale? Who would have thought that Fuller House would be so popular? We end with some happy news. Rick Moranis is back???
