Stu’s Web Wednesday: Yesterday Tonight
Today's Web Wednesday is one of those where I can't believe it didn't happen earlier. It may have in terms of podcasts, but not in this format. And yes, it's some shameless promotion on my part that you'll notice as well but you've come to expect that from me at this point, I'm sure. Something that you don't find very often on the net are talk shows. There are discussion format shows, primarally stuff like TWiT or Rev3, where it's host driven news and interview format, but the actual "talk show" format is pretty vacant. So what would happen if a talk show of the Carson era was solely on the Pop Culture of the 90s and that show was hosted by Marty McFly? That show would be Yesterday Tonight.
Now I know when I said "Marty McFly", you were expecting Michael J. Fox. But it's not. It's actually A.J. Locascio, the spot on, jaw gape enduing voice of Marty McFly in the Telltale Games' Back to the Future episodic adventure game. Oh yeah and there's some woman who happened to found this site called Lisa Foiles in it too. Not that I'm biased towards her or anything. Now this is only a pilot, a proof of concept if you will, but I think it should get picked up, for lack of a better term. If there was an interview with Kirk Fogg or Marc Summers or Rob Paulsen or any number of 90s personalities, I'd be totally down. So everyone, if you're interested, please comment on the video (which seems to be the best course of action I can find) and show your support. There's only so much I can say about a pilot beyond "I dig it". So can you dig it? Can you dig it? Can. You. dig it?
UPDATE: There's a Twitter Page now. Go forth and follow it.

SUCKKKAAAAAA!!
Apologies, my auto-wrestling references reflex kicked in over my cult movie one that time.
You know, I didn’t even THINK of Booker T. Or Stevie Ray. Though I don’t think there are a lot of people who think of Stevie Ray…
Nice pull good man.
It’s a very entertaining show…not going to lie though, wanted to hear more from Lisa and her charasmatic personality.
Still looking forward to the come back of the top ten from Lisa.
I would agree (of course), but I think it’s strong to have Lisa as the side position.
And let’s be honest…in that dress with that look, I’m probably going to be looking at her anyway. A.J.’s nice and all but…
Very funny. Nice to see Lisa again.
Did that fella just drink an Ecto Cooler? Probably a bit past it’s expire date. They stopped making that stuff more than a decade ago.
*Hangs head*
I aced that quiz. I’m WAY too old to have aced that quiz.
Well, it may be past it’s expire date, but he could have made his own.
“I love this. See you next time.”
I love this to. You better see me next time, I’ll be waiting.
Patiently.
Seriously though, I think you guys may have dug up a little bit of internet gold here, I dig the format, I dig the theme, and dammit… now I want some Slimer Hi-C.
All your fault, but I couldn’t be happier for it. =)
He does realize Stick Stickly is alive & well on the TeeNick 90s block, right?
The pilot is really funny and entertaining, Lisa and AJ both did an awesome job.
Oh, and does anyone remember Nick at Night (Nite?), back when we were kids? They showed old stuff, like I Dream of Jeanie and The Andy Griffith Show, stuff like that?
You all realize that we are that target audience now?
