Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode #210: Pick Episode LII Featuring Mark Normand
Q: What is your favorite era of history to mine for material?
The guest leans toward early 1900s and classic era cinema, plus a fascination with how historical figures are portrayed, which informs his comedic jokes and tangential riffs.
Episode #172: Erin Brockovich Ft. Johnny Law
Q: Can you explain what's happening with the judge in the pivotal scene?
The plaintiffs file a complaint and face a demurrer; if the pleading is legally insufficient, the case ends, but in the film the pleading overcomes it and the case moves forward, hinging on the judge's interpretation of the facts against the elements of the claim.
Episode #200: The Disaster Artist Ft. Raymond Zeygman
Q: What drew you to the project and its off-screen story?
The guests discuss the allure of an unauthored myth surrounding a notoriously flawed film, and how the real-life personalities involved—Tommy Wiseau, Greg Sestero, and their peers—built a narrative that audiences kept wanting to reinterpret.
Episode #127: Fire In The Sky
Q: Do you guys believe in aliens?
There's a mathematical chance there are aliens, but I've never encountered one.
Episode #134 Tora! Tora! Tora! Ft. Martin Bennett
Q: What possessed you to write about Mitsuo Fuchida?
I stumbled across the story of Fuchida, who led the attack on Pearl Harbor, and wanted to understand why the Japanese attacked.
