As well as our choice for the most ridiculous, unbelievable stories for the year. Duane was pretty passionate about his pick (hint: PETA & fishing) and mine, well it's what Wednesday's show is about this week. My interview with Dr. Warren Throckmorton on GLSEN's Little Black Book.
You'll have to listen to the show to hear all our picks for the Best & Worst of 2005, but here are just a couple more in writing:
In Media…
Best – #1 Fox News on the War on Christmas…John Gibson & Bill O’Reiley.
Worst - #1 has to be Making Cindy Sheehan a national icon through their coverage and endorsement of her campout at Crawford, TX against the President. There’s been so much coverage about this I don’t think it needs repeating.
In Entertainment…
Best – There were several good and important movies this year…but our #1 choice in entertainment for the Best of 2005 is… The Chronicles of Narnia, primarily because of it’s value to counter some of the potentially dangerous themes in fantasy movies, such as Harry Potter. Plus the fact that CS Lewis is one of my favorite writers.
Worst – King Kong was touted as being the best movie of all time, which of course caused us to go see it, but while the graphics were impressive, we both couldn’t see the merit of such claims. If it were 2004 our choice for worst would probably be Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11, but this year, perhaps surprisingly to some…our choice is The Family Stone…the review snippets we saw and the introduction led us to believe we were in for a modern-day “It’s a Wonderful Life” but far from it! Diane Keeton’s swearing, blatant endorsement of promiscuity of her kids, the obvious endorsement of gay unions and adoption, that made one of the characters who tried to discuss the concern of effects on children look like an idiot…all make for our choice as the #1 worst movie of 2005.
Hear the show (See 1/6/05)
