Working the Weekend with Luke-8/10/15-The Last One
Take a good look folks. This is the last time you’ll be seeing an article on Binge Media that begins with this iconic image. Okay, maybe it’s only iconic in my brain, but I digress. And before you start sending messages, yes, I know that it’s Monday and not the weekend, but if you had the weekend that I did, you wouldn’t have had the energy to write anything yesterday either. Plus, I know a ton of you are already on the site to download the newest BingeCast, so I figured I’d wait for you. See how smart I am. With all of that being said, I am coming to you today to announce that this indeed will be the final installment of Working the Weekend with Luke.
I would like to go on record and say that this was not a decision that came down from Moreno and/or Law, but a decision that I’ve come to over the last month or so. There’s a reason that you haven’t seen this column in a while. It’s not that I haven’t watched anything new or listened to anything new, but honestly, the BingeCast covers so much that it would be somewhat redundant to put out some of the same thoughts on the same site. And with the fast-paced world we live in, who the hell has the time for that? Tack on the addition of Garrett’s amazing movie reviews, and you’re getting even more great content from so many talented people. That’s not me kissing anybody’s ass. That’s the actual truth. The fact is that although it’s nice to write about things outside the world of Binge Sports, this site really doesn’t need me to do that. I refuse to put out content just to put out content. Your time is valuable and I will not waste it.
To my loyal readers of Binge Sports and my loyal listeners of the Binge SportsCast, fear not. Those two things aren’t going anywhere. The numbers continue to grow on the show, and I’m having an absolute blast with it. I’ve had so many different people come on the show to talk about a lot of different things, and it’s only going to get better. There will be an all-new episode coming your way later this week, so stay tuned for that. I’m also kicking around a few ideas for the upcoming NFL season that I’m very excited about, so make sure to keep checking back for all of the info on that as well. So now you can take a deep breath. I’m not going anywhere. I just want to stay focused on the reason that I was hired by Binge Media in the first place. I’ve also got a few ideas about doing some commentaries on some classic sports movies, so I won’t be completely getting away from talking about movies altogether. And I’ll still be doing the Better Call Saul commentary with Supka and Episode IV when that rolls back around in a few months. Garrett and I also have a special show planned for the fall, Moreno and I have discussed a follow-up show to the Up Close and Personal w/ Luke Norris episode of Monday Morning Moreno that we recorded a couple of months ago, so believe me when I tell you that you’ll be seeing and hearing plenty from me at bingemedia.net.
But if you do get the itch to read something from me that’s not Binge Media related, I encourage you to visit my personal blog, The Luke Norris Experience, or visit LukeNorris.net, which houses all of my writing, including links to every single thing I’ve ever written for Binge Media. You can also receive updates by liking the LukeNorris.net Facebook page. There is going to be a ton of upcoming content from me in the future, so if you’ve liked what you’ve read from me on this site for the past eighteen months, I encourage you to continue to come along this continuing journey with me.
I want to thank Law and Moreno for giving me this outlet and I especially want to thank each and every one of you who have taken the time to read even one word of Working the Weekend with Luke. You can do anything with your time, and you choose to spend some of it with me, so I thank you for your continued support. And speaking of support, let’s get back to Binge Media business. Go to the top of this page to check out the brand new Binge Media merchandise store and do yourself a favor and sign up for the Binge Media Newsletter for exclusive content. This week’s movie homework is fantastic. And as I said earlier, a brand new Binge SportsCast comes your way later this week as I talk the passing of Rowdy Roddy Piper and much more with Batch and possibly a first time special guest as well. Maybe even some of those NFL plans will be revealed. I guess you’ll have to tune in to find out. Don’t forget to follow @BingeSports on Twitter as well for all the latest. Until then, let me know what your favorite Working the Weekend with Luke column was. You can leave comments below or follow me on Twitter @THElukenorris. I hope you’ve enjoyed this column as much as I have. Thanks.
