#558 - From Jysk with Love w/ Luke Lebrun

Sunday, September 15, 2024 • Duration 01:05:49

Is it ethical for a journalist to also act as a spy for a foreign government? We consider the far-fetched claims of one of Canada's worst journalists, Adam Zivo. PLUS: In this very special episode, we catch up on some news items of Canadian interest, including the declining polling for Justin Trudeau's liberals, and the rising number of far-right Canadian influencers.

PREVIEW - #557 - Demonstrated Social Impact Initiatives

Monday, September 9, 2024 • Duration 02:49

Our Superdelegate patron tier voted for us to discuss GARDEN STATE (2004), a millennial touchstone that may or may not have "aged well." We discuss Manic Pixie Dream Girls, whether or not the Shins are "cringe," and our own lost youths. PATREON-EXCLUSIVE EPISODE - https://www.patreon.com/posts/111698763

PREVIEW - #548 - Studio Sucky, Part 11 - The Karl Rove Sketch

Tuesday, August 6, 2024 • Duration 03:28

As STUDIO 60 ON THE SUNSET STRIP continues its slow descent, Aaron Sorkin continues to drift away from TV sketch-comedy and back to what he knows. Episode 20, "K&R Part 2," sees the gang lashing out at journalism while also making a tortured defense of... the White House Press Secretary?

PREVIEW - #459 - Jerry's Kids

Saturday, September 9, 2023 • Duration 02:19

PATREON-EXCLUSIVE EPISODE - https://www.patreon.com/posts/459-jerrys-kids-89032472 From 1966 to 2010, THE JERRY LEWIS MDA LABOR DAY TELETHON raised billions for muscular dystrophy causes. It also lived long enough to become a relic of a long-gone monoculture, and incited the wrath of disability advocates. We discuss a bona fide American cultural phenomenon from a very, very different time.

#458 - Airport Paperback

Wednesday, September 6, 2023 • Duration 53:57

Widely described as "Hollywood's response to the Lewinsky scandal," THE CONTENDER (2000) imagines a Vice Presidential confirmation process derailed by sexism and moral prudishness. We excavate some Oscar bait from the very tail end of the Clinton Era and find... yes, another Politics Movie™.

We discuss Robert J. Mrazek's THE CONGRESSMAN (2016), starring Treat Williams as an incumbent House member tackling the twin crises of influence-peddling and... overfishing.

#456 - Collect 'Em All (w/ Jesse Brenneman)

Friday, September 1, 2023 • Duration 46:37

In the middle of the 20th century, some of America's biggest companies made a habit of staging Broadway-quality musicals simply to hype up their employees. The documentary BATHTUBS OVER BROADWAY (2018) chronicles the obsession that David Letterman's writer Steve Young developed with the arcane genre of the "industrial musical." Will is joined by special guest host Jesse Brenneman to discuss the film, and to hash over their experiences collecting really, really, really niche interests.

Saturday, August 26, 2023 • Duration 01:45

PATREON-EXCLUSIVE EPISODE - https://www.patreon.com/posts/455-avatars-of-88293850 Last week's Republican presidential debate, competing Tucker Carlson/Donald Trump interview, and concurrent Trump mugshot drop had us hankering to find the worst Donald Trump documentary we could find. And boy, did we find it. We dived back into the Tubi mines and dredged up TRUMP: THE FIRST TERM (2020).

#454 - The Liberal Imagination

Wednesday, August 23, 2023 • Duration 46:33

Released in the middle of the Obama era, George Clooney's THE IDES OF MARCH (2011) has a lot to tell us about a time when the horizons of possibility were contracting. That's right, folks - it's time to have fun with a good, old-fashioned Politics Movie™. Join us on Patreon for an extra episode every week - https://www.patreon.com/michaelandus

#453 - Arrested Development

Monday, August 21, 2023 • Duration 48:53

We've been talking about a lot of soulless, big-budget IP movies that represent a rot in our culture... so how about a how about a hand-crafted, achingly personal movie that exists as a wart on the back of that rot? We discuss Kevin Smith's CLERKS III (2022), a harrowing vision of Gen X culture trapped in amber.
