| 0:00.0 | The Ringers' Music Critic Rob Havilla curates and explores 60 iconic songs for the 90s that define the decade. |
| 0:05.9 | Rob is joined by a variety of guests to break it all down as they turn back the clock. |
| 0:10.0 | Check out 60 songs that explain the 90s exclusively on Spotify. |
| 0:21.0 | I'm Sean Fennesy and this is the Big Picture, a conversation show about the Undead. |
| 0:26.7 | Today is the release day for Army of the Dead, the New Zack Snyder Picture, and to discuss that movie and our favorite zombie movies, I've got two of my favorite undead Chris Ryan and Adam Naaman. How are you, fellas? |
| 0:38.7 | Undead and loving it. |
| 0:40.7 | I'm just a walking allegory, Sean. |
| 0:43.7 | Before we start, I wanted to talk about somebody who unfortunately did actually pass away very quickly with you guys because I don't know anybody else to talk to about it. |
| 0:50.7 | I know. Well, Charles Groden is no longer with us, but his spirit lives in us forever. |
| 0:55.7 | Truly one of my favorite actors of all time, somebody who I was absolutely obsessed with as a teenager and somebody in my 20s who I think is like a fascinating imprint in a very specific moment in movie comedy history. |

| 1:19.7 | You know, often when people pass, it seems very convenient when people pull out the superlatives, right? |
| 1:26.7 | And they sort of say, this guy, this person was the greatest, but I mean, you make a case for Groden with a relatively small sample size as one of the greatest comedic actors in American cinema. |
| 1:39.7 | Didn't even have that many leads. And I think the lead that he's most famous for, at least in terms of box office, which is Beethoven, which is a great performance, by the way, is not exactly indicative of his skill set or his lineage or his kind of comic context. |
| 1:52.7 | But actually the other night, and it may have been Sean, because you tweeted it, someone tweeted it, I had never seen the really famous clip of him on Carson, where he's ostensibly promoting his autobiography. |
| 2:03.7 | And he turns it into this discussion about the solosness of what Carson does, maybe, right? |
| 2:09.7 | Because the two of them are clearly having fun going at each other. |
| 2:13.7 | If people haven't watched you, look up Groden Carson on YouTube. |
| 2:16.7 | It's like, sell you the whole seat, but you only need the edge stuff. |
| 2:20.7 | And it's like an extension of the ambiguity he had in some of his comic performances. |
