    Episode #337: Best of 2024 Podcast (State of the Podcast, Top 15 Reality TV Performances, & Top 15 Albums)
    Dec 23 2024
    2024 is winding down, and it’s time for Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar’s annual Best of series!

    State of the Podcast: But first…let’s do the state of The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast! The fifth anniversary season has ended, and what a year! Our downloads were the best since 2021 and crossed the 10,000 and 11,000 lifetime downloads milestones. Listeners were the second best since 2021, with listeners from 71 countries! I want to thank the listeners of the United States, Sweden, Canada, United Kingdom, Singapore, India, Australia, Germany, Thailand, and the Netherlands as they listened to the podcast the most. Our most downloaded episodes of 2024 were with Canada’s Got Talent standouts Geneviève Côté and Matthew Cooper, social media sensations Ana Saia (the eighth most viewed on my YouTube channel) and Brandon Farris; Billboard charting saxophonist Boney James, The Challenge cast members Derrick Kosinski, Jenny West, and Paulie Calafiore, and my friends Paige of Most Likely Podcast and the hosts of AGT Time Pod.

    Best of 2024 – Music: 2024 was full of impeccable music! Here are my Top 15 Albums of the year

    Previewing 2025: 2025 will be a massive year for the Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar brand. Nine episodes of the podcast’s sixth season have been recorded. Award-winning journalist Shawn Edwards, one of my mentors, will kick off the season. Actors Derek Yates (Days of Our Lives) and the legendary Lenore Zahn (Rogue, X-Men: The Animated Series & X-Men ’97), Marcel Katz (the Art Plug), best-selling author Kate Gladdin and our old friend Underground Music Collective founder Gerard Longo are some of the guests that will visit the Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast. America’s Got Talent (AGT) is expected to air its twentieth anniversary season during the summer of 2025. Season 20 will be the fourteenth season I have covered since launching the blog in 2011. I hope to bring some of my favorite acts, creatives, and judges onto my platform that made the NBC talent competition show the juggernaut it is today.

    In Memoriam: Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar wants to pay homage to several impeccable people who passed away throughout 2024. Charles Osgood, Chita Rivera, James Earl Jones, Johnny Wactor, Liam Payne, Dame Maggie Smith, Martin Mull, Pete Rose, Phil Donahue, Richard Simmons, Dr. Ruth Westheimer, and Shannen Doherty all left remarkable imprints on pop culture, and they will be missed. We also want to remember guests comedian Kabir Singh, who I had the privilege to speak with him in 2021 when he competed on AGT: Season 16, and actor and model Mike Heslin, who was one of the podcast’s first guests in 2019 with his husband and longtime friend Scotty Dynamo.

    Finally, I would like to pay tribute to two men who impacted my life from 2003 to 2007 while I attended Blue Valley Northwest High School in my hometown of Overland Park, Kansas. My choir teacher, Dale Eaton, and my 12th-grade English teacher, Dr. Rick Pribyl, impacted me and countless students during their time at BVNW. Thank you for the memories, Mr. Eaton and Dr. Pribyl.

    Season’s Greetings: Thank you, everyone, for all your support this year! I want to thank all my guests who took time out of their schedules to visit the podcast, as well as the media teams who trusted my platform so their clients could see and share their stories. I also want to give a special shoutout to my family: mom Gloria, dad Matthew, brother Aaron, sister-in-law Whitney, nephew Nash, and niece Emory. I love you all to pieces! Finally, thank you to the readers and listeners who followed me on this journey! I hope 2025 will be a phenomenal year for all of us!

  • Episode #336: Jack Hutson & Michael Pitt TALK ‘Day of the Fight’

    Episode #336: Jack Hutson & Michael Pitt TALK ‘Day of the Fight’
    Dec 16 2024
    It is a privilege to welcome Day of the Fight’s Jack Huston and Michael Pitt to The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.

    Set in Brooklyn in the 1980s, Day of the Fight follows a once-celebrated middleweight boxer, Mikey Flannigan, AKA “Irish” (Michael Pitt), as he embarks on a day-long redemptive journey as he prepares for his first match since serving time in prison.

    “Day of the Fight is an underdog story in its purest form,” said Jack Hutson, who wrote, co-produced, and directed the film. “This movie is about second chances, overcoming adversity against all odds, and above all, it’s forgiveness.” The 108-minute film also stars Nicolette Robinson, John Magaro, Kat Elisabeth Williams, Steve Buscemi, Ron Perlman, and Joe Pesci. Josh Porter, Jai Stefan, Emma Tillinger Koskoff, and Colleen Camp joined Jack Hutson on the production team.

    In 2023, the movie was featured in various film festivals. It closed out the 2023 Austin Film Festival and was the opening night film for the 2023 International FilmFestival Mannheim-Heidelberg, Mill Valley, and Raindance Film Festivals. It was also an official selection for the 2023 Venice Film Festival. Jack Hutson also won two director awards for the 2023 Newport Beach and SCAD Savannah Film Festivals.

    On this episode of The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Jack Hutson and Michael Pitt discussed the Day of the Fight filming process. Jack explained why the film was shot in black and white, while Michael shared his perspective on sharing the screen with acting legends Steve Buscemi, Ron Perlman, and Joe Pesci.

    Day of the Fight can be found in New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Boston, and San Francisco theatres.
