    Our Unbridled Enthusiasm for Larry David (ft. Chef Brian Tsao)

    You love him. Or maybe you hate him. There really is no middle ground when it comes to Larry David on “Curb Your Enthusiasm”. On the latest installment of Crush Fictionally, we take an in-depth look at the fictionalized version of real life multi-hyphenate Larry David. With the help of culinary master, iconic sandwich maker, and our favorite web series star Chef Brian Tsao, we discuss how our favorite character from this quick-witted HBO series can be both polarizing and low key likable. Together we discuss our favorite “Curb Your Enthusiasm” moments, which Larry David predicaments we would most likely find ourselves in, and the ensemble of fictional characters who have captured our hearts. You can watch Chef Brian’s laugh-out-loud and very meta web series “Pro Chef Reacts” today while preparing yourself for Mission Sandwich Social opening in Brooklyn, NYC soon. Mission Sandwich Social will be serving THEE best sandwiches, which frankly we’d hop on a plane for. Hopefully after listening to this episode, you’re encouraged to watch or re-watch “Curb Your Enthusiasm”. But, if you choose not to, then to quote Larry, all we can say is: (shrug) “Eeh, ok.” Winning us over and making us cry with laughter this week are: Larry getting roped into an awkward dinner party (Season 1, Episode 3), Larry’s fight with Ben Stiller during Ben’s birthday party (Season 4, Episode 2), and Larry’s spite store based on a petty feud (Season 10, Episode 10). We also have love in our hearts for: Jeff, Leon, Susie, Wanda, and Krazee-Eyez Killa. This week’s small business shout-out: Semicolon Books (Chicago)

    The Unexpected, The Double-Cross, and the Coolest Detectives (ft. Joe Ide)

    The only thing better than an unexpected twist is the mind-blowing double-cross-cross that you never even saw coming. This new episode of Crush Fictionally is action packed – we are joined by crime fiction writer Joe Ide. Joe brings his insight and expert guidance as we examine what characteristics make up a cool, fictional detective. Of course cool is a subjective term so as we break-down our preferences, we consider the role mystery, solitude, honesty, dedication, instinct, and natural intellect play in developing a quintessential detective. After imparting solid life *and* writing advice, we bow down to Joe's amazing ability to create fascinating character arcs, witty dialogue, and remarkable plot developments. You can find Joe Ide's IQ book series (“IQ”, “Righteous”, “Wrecked”, “Hi Five”, and “Smoke”) at your favorite local book store right now, with “The Goodbye Coast: A Philip Marlowe Novel” hitting shelves very soon. Arresting our hearts this week: Harry Hole of the fictional crime book series from Jo Nesbø (although played by Michael Fassbender outside of the novels), Mare Sheehan (Kate Winslet) of Mare of Easttown, and Rust Cohle (Matthew McConaughey) of True Detective. *************** SHOW INFO Crush Fictionally is produced and edited by Peter Byrnes.

    Planes, Trains, and Room for Jack (ft. Ashley Graham and Chloe Ginnever)

    Look out! This latest episode of Crush Fictionally is firing on all cylinders and racing through the busy streets of the City by the Bay. Our theme is planes, trains, and automobiles. Or more specifically, we are discussing our favorite fictional characters who are in, using, or stuck on some form of transportation. For help on this topic, we called in reinforcements. At the helm and guiding the way on this fun voyage are friends, movie and VHS aficionados, and cool hosts of Rewind Wednesday at Balboa Theater in San Francisco Ashley Graham and Chloe Ginnever (@balboatheater). With the charm and likability of a young Tommy Callahan, Chloe and Ashley help us examine how life is a journey and which fictional character we'd choose for our trip. And if we learned anything from Kim's trip to Curaçao, it's that no man is worth getting on a no-fly list for. Who are our ride-or-die picks this week? We are making room on our door for Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) *and* Rose (Kate Winslet) of Titanic. Revving our engine is Robert Wilson (William Shatner) of Twilight Zone's "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" episode. And we are riding into the sunset with the Sundance Kid (Robert Redford) of Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid. -------- SHOW INFO Crush Fictionally is produced and edited by Peter Byrnes.
