    Can a Bad Movie Have a Perfect Performance? | Quick Question Ep. 319

    Two Best Friends and Comedy Writers Soren Bowie & Daniel O'Brien present a passionate defense of Chris Pine as a methed-out white nationalist in Smoking Aces while mourning Toby Kebbell's lost stardom after RocknRolla. Along the way: James Austin Johnson's Trump impression has shades of Ferrell's W; the revelation that Gilbert Godfrey's entire persona was a put-on; why Sebastian Maniscalco's choreographed segues make zero logical sense and the quiet devastation of realizing Oscar season has become a conveyor belt of biopics about men who solved being alive by blowing their brains out. You'll leave armed with warm feelings for Ben Foster, Nicole Kidman, and Michael Stuhlbarg's monologue supremacy. They say honey, turn the television on—but you can't, because there was no wind.

    The Secret Origin of Every Movie Score | Quick Question Ep. 318

    This week, Daniel and Soren explore why every legendary composer is essentially a high-level shoplifter, stealing from the same three dead guys who actually knew how to write a melody. We also discuss why the "one in the glasses" is a genius, the specific humiliation of pitching jokes in the Fred voice, and why the most important skill for a professional writer is the ability to produce absolute garbage on purpose.Plus: Soren defends his hollow bird-bones, Daniel avoids an NDA, and we try to figure out why no one in a book can name a fictional band that doesn't sound like a hate crime.

    So...Heated Rivalry? | Quick Question Ep. 317

    The Golden Globes have a Best Podcast now, which leads Daniel and Soren down a familiar path: awards, legitimacy, and how culture decides what counts. Along the way, they run headfirst into Heated Rivalry—a show that appears to offer exactly one thing, and yet has somehow escaped its niche and entered polite conversation. Parents are recommending it. Everyone is recommending it. No one is being subtle. Why does some extremely horny media stay contained, while other extremely horny media becomes prestige? And what does that say about taste, awards, and what we’re all suddenly very comfortable talking about? Also: Traitors. A show for people with no hearts. 00:54 – Welcome Back / Who’s the Real Host? 01:36 – Hypothetical Awards, Hypothetical Fights 03:12 – The Golden Globes Now Have a Podcast Category 04:41 – How Awards Actually Work (Campaigns, Money, Politics) 07:23 – Emmy Swag, Billboards, and the Dropout Problem 09:40 – Why American Dad Never Wins Anything 11:55 – Quick Question: Are You Watching Heated Rivalry? 12:49 – When a Show Breaks Containment 14:24 – Expectation vs. Reality: Is It Even About Hockey? 16:07 – “It’s Just Sex”: The Erotic Fiction Problem 19:22 – Romance Novels and Narrative Foreplay 22:00 – Bad Texting, Bad Dialogue, Bad Screens 26:14 – Why Is Everyone Publicly This Horny? 28:02 – Is This the New Bridgerton? 29:00 – Who Is This Show For? 31:06 – Hockey Bodies, Old Navy Vibes 32:27 – Locker Rooms vs. TV Locker Rooms 35:23 – Pivot: What Is Traitors? 36:39 – How the Game Actually Works 39:26 – Why Normal People Failed Season One 40:50 – The Strategy of Being a Traitor 44:56 – Board Games, Lying, and Emotional Fallout 49:42 – Three-Hour Round Tables (and Crushing Guilt) 51:59 – When Banishing a Faithful Feels Correct Anyway 53:25 – How to Fix Traitors (Among Us, Live Edition) 55:36 – The Conga Line Murder 56:24 – Reality TV Pacing Is Still Brutal 57:53 – Why Heated Rivalry Can Only Be Sex 59:03 – Closing & Thanks Thanks to Fabric for sponsoring.

    Doing Bits During Emergency Training | Quick Question Ep. 316

    Daniel is fresh off an infant care class and a CPR certification, which leads to a wide-ranging conversation about how much preparation actually sticks when it matters. He and Soren talk swaddling, baby hygiene, circumcision care, and the unsettling reality that newborns are basically loose bags of milk. From there, things spiral into CPR etiquette, AED myths, corporate training videos, and the strange urge to do crowd work during emergency situations. Along the way, Soren recounts helping a lost child at a holiday light show—and the unexpectedly ambiguous text exchange that followed—while both hosts grapple with the question of when to step in, when to back away, and how anyone is supposed to know what to do in a crisis.

    The Young & The Breakfast | Quick Question Ep. 315

    The guys talk Stranger Things Season 5, do the bleak math of middle-aged drinking, and the perverse little happiness spike that follows a truly harrowing puke. Speaking of puke,  the guys discuss the sacred childhood joy of sick-day daytime TV (Judge Judy supremacy, soap operas as emotional concrete) and finally, Daniel and Soren spiral into TV industry doom: Netflix getting into the podcast game, prestige TV existing only as a side quest for tech companies, and the impossible task of ending a beloved show without stepping on an internet landmine—aka Finale School.  00:00 Introduction and Podcast Dynamics02:32 Reflections on Aging and Drinking05:22 Hangover Remedies and Personal Experiences08:16 The Nature of Vomiting and Its Aftermath11:06 Parenting and Children’s Fear of Vomiting14:00 Nostalgia for Childhood Illness and Daytime TV17:35 Soap Operas and Acting Experiences26:28 The Unique Challenges of Soap Opera Acting33:33 The Evolution of Television and Soap Operas40:43 The State of Modern Television51:52 The Art of Writing and Ending a SeriesThanks to Rocket Money for sponsoring.

    The Free Soup Conspiracy | Quick Question Ep. 314

    On this episode, Daniel concludes his year-long feud with a New Jersey restaurant regarding false promises of post-race soup. Meanwhile, Soren gets physically trapped inside the trunk of a Chevy Volt while attempting a battery change in the rain. Plus: The dark science of motivating children with stories about drowning mice, proper running hand placement (T-1000 vs. Potato Chip), and the economic impossibility of fairness in arcade prize redemption.

    Write That Down, I’m In Trouble | Ep. 313

    A listener email from Danielle turns into a full-on behind-the-scenes autopsy of visual gags in adult animation: marquee jokes, fake brand names, book titles, and who actually adds what—writers, artists, animators, or a chaotic mix of everyone. Soren breaks down what tends to be scripted versus what often comes from the production/art side. Daniel relates it to his own show’s graphics pipeline, including the infamously over-specified “opposite snakes” ordeal on Last Week Tonight. Plus: the American Dad! theme-song detail Danielle noticed—Roger’s intro disguise being pulled from the writer’s prior episode—and why it’s basically a present from the animation team.
