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 the 12th episode of the season, Justin, Noah, and recurring guest Chris begin their run of talking two albums at a time, detailing the last gasp of Rush in the 1980s. They talk about one guest vocalist’s link to the Steven Universe cartoon, lament Neil Peart’s ill-advised tribute to a certain Chinese mountain, and posit a theory that one song may include a reference to…Harry Truman? And as always, they recommend more artists for your listening pleasure.
