A fall from grace
I recently decided to check out the podcast today (Feb 2022) only to see that it was discontinued in June of 2020. As heart breaking as it was to see, it was inevitable. When I discovered this podcast in 2014, it quickly became one of my favorites. It was funny, it was random, it talked about various topics that were always interesting. It had everything: pop culture, history, science/sci-fi, and random facts. Jack, the host at the time, brought energy and had interesting guests. It was fantastic. And then Trump became president. Quickly, the show began to circle the drain. It became obsessed with politics (something that it normally only talked about as a historical topic) and everything Trump. This podcast was an outlet for all of the drama out there. But it turned itself into it. All of the sudden, some of the writers started leaving Cracked to move onto other things. They knew what the future was for the podcast and knew when to bail. I jumped off the bandwagon before it drove off the cliff. I’m saddened that it’s over. In its prime, it was geeky, charming and had a ton of heart. Maybe someone like Jack will try to pick up back up off of its feet? Bring it back to what people liked about it before it tried to take itself seriously.

This is a great podcast, dudes. Funny, insightful, funky. Now as far as movies that "find" or "feel" their way to the correct ending, or the one MEANT to be: "Seven Psychopaths" is worth a mention . . .Read full review »
