Lost In Postulation

Lost in Postulation is back for an eighth installment after a three week hiatus! We kick things off with Nicola providing a brief update and key takeaways from his recent travels to the end of the earth (1:20) before getting into our main postulation block of the episode about music in film (7:50).

We dive deep on film scores from every angle starting by placing them within their historical context (10:45), discussing 'The King of Themes' John Williams (14:45), Howard Shore's impact on Lord of the Rings (17:23) and some of our other favorite themes (20:55). It's then on to composer postulations where we rate Hans Zimmer (33:00), give credit to Ennio Morricone (39:20), sprinkle in some Hitchcock (44:00) and discuss an interesting new composer trend (46:30).

We wrap things up by diving into our listener mailbag where we receive global postulations on the topic of saunas (49:24).

Husman FC is back and fully recharged from the snoozy international break! Nicola and Roy quickly roundup the latest on Harry Maguire, Richarlison and how the youth of today are consuming football (2:30). If you did not support a specific club, what player would you choose to follow for the next 10-15 years?

Then it is on to the segment nobody asked for but everyone has been secretly waiting for: The Bad Hair Eleven (10:40)! Nicola and Roy attempt to create an All-Star team of great players with iconic yet horrific hairstyles. There are many contenders but can they gel and go for glory against our eventual Good Hair Eleven? We breakdown the goalkeeper who insisted on donning a $5 haircut late into his career, a defender who seemingly had green branches growing out of the top of his head and a big 'captain energy' defender who had years worth of hair but refused to wear a headband.

Then, who was the right midfielder who showed up to training with blond cornrows after his Caribbean spring break? It's bad bald vibes in midfield and a toupee that came off mid run before identifying the Michael Jordan of soccer with a rat-tail. The team can only be managed by one man, who will almost certainly reluctantly accept and then proceed to insult his own players in press conferences. Tune in to find out who we are talking about!

On the third installment of Lost in Postulation (our non-award winning podcast) we delve into the following topics:

1) Whamageddon: the new Xmas music strategy game taking the world by storm (5:25)

2) One Hit Wonders: What makes a one hit wonder? What data is there behind it? What 80s hit is due a comeback? (11:30)

3) Ultimate Celebrity Interrail: Nicola fills us in on how his trip with 3 celebrities went (44:58)

4) Flying Rivals: Neil has to choose which two historic rivals sandwich him in the middle seat of a flight from Singapore to NYC (53:20)

Enjoy!

Nobody believed in them when they embarked on this crazy journey a little over a year ago, but somehow Neil and Nicola have defied the odds to make it to their 50th episode!

After a classic mundane opener about food, restaurants and the arbitrary correlations between price and quality (5:10), it's on to the mailbag (16:50).

An old unnamed friend writes in critiquing Neil's recent performance on Google reviews. Then after a brief Scientology sidebar, The Grey Ham sends in a voice note about bread and sausages. Why is it so difficult to find the right amount of hot dogs for buns in supermarkets nowadays?

As a final treat, the guys are asked to create a Mount Rushmore from the first 50 episodes of LIP (35:00)!
