Episode 194: Shootin’ the Shit - A Madman, An Imbecile, and a Bum
We’re back with our bud Kenny to talk media criticism: History Channel re-enactments, classic movie musicals, craft versus consistency, the Octopus Murders, A24’s new Civil War movie, the Sopranos, Platonic, and overly friendly user experiences. Plus: the best insults from Latin American politicians, Obama-era fumbles, meditation tips, and as always, some utopian talk. Apologies for the sound quality in this one. We had a lot of dog noises and Christine sounds like they’re recording in a distant, tinny tunnel.
