I'm a big Aster fan, but I also really didn't care for Eddington. Maybe I need to see it again, but I really didn't care for how on the nose it was. Just seemed entirely unrealistic in almost every way, which took me out of the whole thing.

His famous catchphrase was "nattering nabobs of negativism", said in reference to the press.

Dude was a fuckstick

I mean, Tim Hortons is the biggest giveaway

When you finish Evil, you may want to try out Dark on Netflix. It's not as "campy" as Evil can be, because it is German, and ze Germans are very very serious. But it was one of my all-time favorites if you like mystery with twists.

I need to check out From; it has been recommended to me from other folks.

That's the Milwaukee accent for ya. Could be either... or both? No one knows...

So Morbius but with badly animated cows

Those are rookie numbers for a KF podcast!

I loved Hank's breakdowns of Westworld back when that was a thing. He also has some very very old episodes with Dan pre-KF back when Hank was still in Chicago and part of the stand-up scene there. Worth checking out!

Totally agree. He was built for this. In this one he mentions that he will likely be back doing another podcast on rightwing dirtbags. I really hope he does!

It's about pedophiles, and that's what's so powerful about it

This whole story of cat litter in classrooms does have some truth to it. There are districts in the US that have buckets of cat litter in every classroom. Why? Because if there is a school shooting and classrooms are under lockdown for hours, officials realized that they could allow kids to relieve themselves in the bucket.

So it's so much more fucked up than the absurd fake story passed around by Rogan and other propagandists.

Big time. Like the first 4 episodes are fantastic, but then, holy crap. Just gets so silly and dumb. At the end, I'm like, wtf is this?

As Mike says in this one, The Odyssey appeals to the olds, and you can hear a pin drop in a theater full of grandmas and grandpas. That is, if Nolan wasn't obsessed with making his movies TOO LOUD!

In SOMD, you're more likely to find this kind of bass

I think I wrote my comment with ample caveats. I didn't suggest it was one thing. In fact, I said the opposite. I'd argue the blog post I linked to is similarly measured.

Yep. Teen pregnancy rate has been trending down since the 90's. Why isn't exactly clear, but some have speculated that is could be related, at least in part, to the drop in environmental lead contamination that affected an entire generation in the mid 20th century.

Schmells are racist, and you're a racist for schmelling people

I do this all the time now with Right Wing chuds. I always have to stop myself from saying Paul Bet Davidson.

Afferent_Input

literally lmao when I saw that.
