It’s Podwork Angels: The Rush Hour, a podcast dedicated to the Canadian rock band Rush! Justin Mancini of TheCineMaverick.com & Cinema Joes is joined by fellow Cinema Joes podcast host Noah Franc of FrancNoir, as well as Luke Martin, host of Talking the Coda, as they delve into the discography of Canada’s favorite sons, from 1974 to 2012.
In this episode, Chris Mancini joins Justin, Luke, and Noah as they hail to the kings with Rush’s fifth album. They detail the epic perfection of Xanadu, debate whether brevity is a negative, and do a little singing of their own (because Geddy can’t have all the fun). And as always, the hosts recommend more artists for your listening pleasure.
