2015: Dual Redundancy's Year in Review


Somehow 2015 was even a busier than 2013 and 2014 combined!

This year we did 34 podcasts with four different hosts, well five if you count Dopey the Dick. One of which was our historic 100th podcast where in true meta fashion we looked at how other shows’ celebrated their 100th episode.

In 2013 we introduced the weekly wind down podcast and the number of shows we have been covering only seems to go up. 2013’s number of 26 has nearly tripled plus we covered numerous movies, a video game and one very horrific Lifetime movie. These shows included canceled freshman shows like Best Time Ever, The Brink, The Comedians, and Wicked City plus one time special events like The Wiz Live and A Very Murray Christmas! Finally, we tried to stay on top of all the changes in late night including James Corden, Trevor Noah, and Larry Wilmore’s debuts, Jon Stewart’s farewell and Stephen Colbert’s return!

Besides our usual weekly wind downs and prediction specials, we also had a variety of notable episodes including a two hour Survivor series retrospective and a 30th Anniversary Back to the Future podcast (where we eclipsed the runtime of the actual movie). In March we of course had our annual March Madness bracket. After looking at television shows, movies, and film actors we decided to find out who was “top of pop.” It was a big year for Taylor Swift who easily beat Justin Timberlake in the finals for favorite artist in pop music.

From all of us here at Dual Redundancy thank you so much for making 2015 so great. We can't wait to see what 2016 has in store! A 30th anniversary podcast on Ferris Bueller’s Day Off? An in-depth look at Fuller House  and whatever happened to the milkman and paperboy? A president who once hosted a reality show on NBC? Only time will tell!

Dual Redundancy's 4th Annual March Madness Bracket Results


One month ago we calculated your votes and revealed your favorite artist in pop music. While we recorded a results show podcast that revealed Justin Timberlake would be "crying a river” after Taylor Swift's victory, we realized no bracket was complete without…a completed bracket!


So without further ado here is a completed bracket with the winner included. How did she win? How close were the results? Those questions along with how we set up the bracket can be answered here with our podcast special.



After bracketing TV shows, movies, actors, and musical artists what is there left for next year? Leave a comment below or tweet to us @DualRedundancy if you have an idea for next March when we let the madness take control once again.

11. Another Idol alum, 16-year old Jessica Sanchez, TEARING UP "And I Am Telling You" with Jennifer Holliday

10. Anne Hathaway's "I Dreamed a Dream" for Les Mis. It's SO much better in the movie, but can't be overlooked here. 

9. The song that made the 1 episode of Glee I watched this season worth it, "Give Your Heart a Break"


8. Taylor Swift's "All Too Well" 


7. Ke$ha's stripped-down "Deconstructed" version of Die Young


6. A capella sensations Pentatonix performing one of 2012's top hits, "Somebody That I Used to Know"

5. Macklemore had a breakthrough year, but the song "Cowboy Boots" from The Heist really got to me

4. Damien Rice. Live. "The Professor and La Fille Danse." I was there. AMAZING.

3. Megan's "Zou Bisou Bisou" performance on Mad Men. Instant classic TV moment.

2. Frank Ocean's performance of "Bad Religion" on Jimmy Fallon. No words.

1. "Call Me Maybe", as made mega-popular by Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez and co.
