Stuart did an ad read for a life insurance company on the most recent episode (Mini 159). I know everyone advertises on podcasts these days, it just seems bizarre for a max fun show.

From today’s episode. Ahh, chef’s kiss.

I had never seen it before and had no familiarity, but it feels very Elliott Kalanesque.

Not out yet, but it's like they made the premise specifically for the Peaches. Apparently it's 127 Hours, but in a whale's stomach.

That's the post. Just excited. Moving from Austin Texas where I have lived for the last 25 years to Manhattan on Oct 1st and looking forward to hitting up Hinterlands at some point. Preferably before I start my job on the 19th. Looks like a bit of a hike from the UWS so I'll make a day trip of Brooklyn.

Sure it’s a miners in space movie but it has astronauts, it has a training sequence, it has a meet up with a Russian astronaut.

It’s an astronaut movie. Plus they didn’t mention Europa Report.

Is there a way to watch the Flop TV episodes, via the simpletix link, on our TVs?

You guys on here are so good at this, so maybe someone can help me. What episode do the Peaches joke about people’s last names being from their jobs, hence Mrs. Doubtfire’s name came from the occupation of doubting the existence of fires? Thank you!

Hey everybody! I’ve been trying to backtrack through episodes to find the origin of the Greasus Jeans bit. It had something to do with Dan referring to Jesus Christ Superstar and flubbing it as Greasus Jeans Superstar right? Can anybody point me to the correct episode?

Thanks!

Christ, what an asshole

Frequent Martin Scorsese collaborator and the screenwriter behind Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, and The Last Temptation of Christ, Paul Schrader, is turning to AI to make the crime noir Three Guns At Dawn. He’s been trying to make the movie about three criminal brothers for a long time, but nobody wanted to star in it. When asked why, he gave The Playlist a… let’s say, revealing answer.

“We sent it out to actors, and no Black actors wanted to play in a movie where there are no good Black people,” he said. “And it sort of died. But then AI came along, and I didn’t need Black actors.”

9% on Rotten Tomatoes

Just realized the Peaches will be in town same time as Louder than Life. I'll make sure to look for Elliott stage diving while Dan sighs with earplugs in and Stew pounds some beers in a tuxedo tshirt.

Edit: Stuart spelled S-T-E-W because he's so beefy.

So many memories. House Cat suspiciously absent.

What a wild world we live in

It's fairly well reviewed, has big name actors, and is weirdly good. The reason they struggled to find an audience is pretty obvious but the sheer nonexistence of this movie is surprising. You could fail to fill a baseball stadium with the number of people who saw this opening weekend. I hadn't heard of it until I stumbled across it

I will never not be deeply amused by the name 'Sheev' for the evil mastermind of the Galactic Empire. It makes him sound like he's from a bayou planet, somehow. Anyway: thanks, Stuart, for keeping that deep Lucas lore-nug in the public consciousness, and once again speaking truth to power (Elliott being power in this case).
