  • Bad!

    Imagine listening to this. One of the hosts said he’s done zero negative since moving to Mexico. Does he actually believe this? The show’s more annoying host closes every patron preview with “we’re sorry we do this.” Then stop doing it!

    Utterly delighted esp by your discussion of Mishima which is better than any scholarly papers I read on it and I read all in multiple languages. Other episodes are also just so fun and perfect.

    An all time great movie podcast. Ian and Jake are casually funny dudes whose insights into film offer fresh perspectives. One of my fav things to do is to watch a movie and listen to these guys discuss it, inevitably bringing up things I didn’t fully consider and it becomes a learning experience. Keep it up guys.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Soderbergh Ep. 36: Let Them All Talk (2020) with Veronica Phillips
Q: If you could invite one person living or dead to dinner with the sole purpose of throwing a drink in their face, who would it be?
Veronica names and discusses a slew of provocative choices, emphasizing the value in choosing someone whose public persona or actions would provoke a meaningful, cathartic moment rather than simple celebrity spectacle.

Q: What were your initial impressions of Season 2 compared to Season 1?
Not as strong or focused; it feels unfocused at times and perhaps aimed to set up future seasons or spin-offs, but it still manages to raise important ethical questions and history-driven subplots.

Q: Eva, do you have a question for us today?
Eva asks about the California diet as referenced in the film and its implications regarding health and lifestyle choices.
