304, "Deathtrap / The Room - Oh Hi, Superman"


Listen Later

If only these walls could talk, the secrets they could tell. Among them: murder, betrayal, lies, infidelity, and how in the hell Tommy Wiseau made a movie. It's time for another Geek Challenge, and Arlo has seized the opportunity to finally force Paul into watching Wiseau's 2003 cult classic The Room. In turn, Paul has challenged Arlo to Sidney Lumet's much more dignified 1982 crime comedy Deathtrap. The boys discuss the advantages of stage over screen, and vice versa; questionable acting, be it Dyan Cannon or Greg Sestero; homoerotic subtext (or maybe it's just text); and, yet again, Arlo's fascination with epically bad filmmaking. Plus, Paul got his ears blown out by the Alabama Symphony's Led Zeppelin.

Next: Kenn Edwards joins Paul and Arlo for the next installment of their year-long Four-Color Flashback discussion of Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra's Y: The Last Man. This time, the gang will talk Vol. 3: One Small Step.
