    PUBLIC BONUS: Hillbilly Elegy

    As the election looms, we take a look at Hillbilly Elegy (shitty book and shitty movie), the 'memoir' of America's fuhrer-in-waiting, weirdo venture capitalist, plutocrat fascist misogynist, Trump's pet and Thiel's puppet, J.D. Vance, in which he slathers on the hillbillyface in a grotesque and offensive performance of working class minstrelsy to the rapturous applause of centrist liberals... at least until he decided that principles were bad for his career ambitions and suddenly realised that Trump wasn't the American Hitler after all.  (He is.)

    UNLOCKED! Bonus Ep35 'Independence Day' (1996)

    Originally available to Patreon patrons 6th July. We recorded an episode about the 1996's biggest movie, Independence Day.  For election year, we're looking at movies 'about' the American presidency, and how better to do that than to embrace the cheesy American exceptionalist pornography of this alien-invasion effects-spectacular?  It's a sprawling SF comedy about incalculable mass murder and the genocide of humanity. Bill Pullman looks decent, Will Smith quips, Jeff Goldblum recycles, Randy Quaid gets an anal probe, billions die, and a good time is had by all. Don't worry, the dog survives... For now. Spoiler alert: this is deeply stupid, but we both kinda like it anyway. Features UK election chat, and US SCOTUS / Presidential debate banter.

    UNLOCKED! Bonus Ep34 'Dave' (1993)

    We continue our election year series on movies about the US President, with a chat about Ivan Reitman's Capraesque 1993 political-romantic-comedy-drama-satire(???) Dave, starring Kevin Kline as a lovable goofball Presidential lookalike who ends up actually pretending to be the President, kindasorta accidentally pulling off a (well-meaning) one-man coup d'état, enmeshed in the plots of the evil White House Chief of Staff (Frank Langella), and falling in love with the First Lady (Sigourney Weaver).  This bonus episode was originally exclusive for Patreon subscribers.

    UNLOCKED! Bonus Ep33 'Air Force One' (1997)

    Back in the mists of yore, when America's eternal 2024 presidential election began, we started a series of bonus episodes on movies about the US President (with the word 'about' being employed very loosely).   In this first episode of that series, we look at 1997's Air Force One, in which President Harrison Ford wages a one-man, definitely not Die Hard-esque in any way campaign of extreme non-negotiation with terrorists (who seem to somehow be both Russian ultra-nationalists and Kazakh communists simultaneously) who have hijacked the presidential plane in order to oh god just shoot me already.

    PREVIEW: Bonus Ep37 'Dick' (1999)

    Another in our series of election year chats about movies about presidents. By patron request, Daniel and Jack watch and discuss 1999's neo-screwball teensploitation 70s-nostalgiafest Dick, in which two teenage girls - Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams - accidentally find themselves befriending Richard Nixon (Dan Hedaya) and becoming entangled in Watergate. It's terribly fun. Full episode exclusive for Patreon subscribers.

    PREVIEW: Bonus Ep36 Frost/Nixon (2008)

    Daniel and Jack sit down across from each other in brown leather armchairs and ruthlessly interrogate each other about their many crimes. We also continue our election year series on movies about (or at least mentioning) US Presidents by talking over the deeply mid 2008 Ron Howard movie Frost/Nixon, an almost entirely fictional account of some TV interviews in which a chat show host helped a mass murdering crook present himself to the world as a thoughtful and moral person, to enormous acclaim.

    News Brief: The Springfield Pogroms, Trump Assassination Attempt 2

    We talk about the second apparent attempt on trump's life, and why the Right's discourse about it is hypocritical bullshit.  Then our main topic: the racist pogroms incited in Springfield, OH, by Trump and Vance's racist blood libels (via Blood Tribe and Chris Rufo), featuring the KKK and the Proud Boys.  Features a surprise clip from Mike Enoch over at TDS. Then a couple of other stories.  Rich Lowry, editor in chief of National Review, accidentally forgets to not say the hard-R on Megyn Kelly's show; Bret Weinstein clever theory about Kamala's earrings and what They want him to think about them, Tim Pool and Ukraine (again).
