All the fun of Election Day, none of the chaotic Presidential contest from 2000! Removing Bush v. Gore, you still had an election slate full of the Democratic and Republic stars, past and future! Hillary Clinton's New York Senate race against Rudy Giuliani, among others! Donald Trump's flirtation with running for Commander in Chief as the Reform Party candidate! Barack Obama's 1st Congressional District Race in Illinois against Bobby Rush! Dianne Feinstein! Mike Pence! Ted Kennedy! And much more! Sarah & Joe manage to get into a lot, and skillfully attempt to avoid discussing the 2026 Midterms, taking place today! Go vote, IHOY Heads!

And we're back! And so surprising is this particular novel that we're not even going to reveal the title in the episode description! How's that for suspense? There is virtually no chance of you having ever read it, and it seems unlikely you'll seek it out afterward, so strap in for the entire, brief, shocking tale and Sarah & Joe's discussion of this forgotten curiosity from the world of literature. The hosts then wander into other oddball publications from unlikely authors, making this a very bizarre trip to Book Corner indeed!

The General Cinema at the Viewmont Mall - the original multiplex in Northeastern Pennsylvania - closed for good on January 17th, 2000, after 27 years in operation. There was little fanfare, virtually no publicity, and a few months later the building was leveled to construct a new bookstore. But what was the final day of operations at the Viewmont Cinema actually like? The 7th scripted show from It Happened One Year examines a theater chain on the brink of bankruptcy, longtime employees and parttime youngsters considering their next career moves, nostalgic patrons returning for last showtimes, and a few surprises and Easter eggs from IHOY's past.
