Chapo Trap House

Greetings Minders, Will here, and to kick off this season, I wanted to do another one-movie episode with Felix like we did last year with CASINO, and I knew I wanted it to be another movie that has cast a long shadow over both my personal mind palace and the chapo extended universe. I wanted it to be another movie that I could easily count as both “my favorite movie of all time” as well as argue that it is “the best movie of all time” *and* I wanted it to be a movie Felix had never seen. And there is only one film that fits that bill, Stanley Kubrick’s masterpiece BARRY LYNDON.

Travel back to the 18th century, take ten paces, cock your pistols, aim, fire and witness the rise and fall of an Irish asshole. Good or bad, handsome or ugly, rich or poor, we will all be equal soon.

As with all our miniseries, this first episode of the season is free on all platforms. All subsequent eps will be available exclusively at patreon.com/chapotraphouse

Katherine is back to talk about animals with Will and Felix again, including the bizarre story of a Chicago billionaire paying for a rat infestation. We then return to the ongoing fractures in Mamdani’s base, as a recent ICE shooting makes his decision to keep Jessica Tisch even harder to defend. Lastly, we discuss the recent raid on Ilhan Omar’s house, plus the absolute dumbest dirty trick in right-wing history.

Chapo All-Star Alex Nichols is back for a quick news roundup. We eulogize Dennis Hastert, speculate on another Epstein associate’s suicide, and explore Kyrsten Sinema’s ex-boyfriend’s recent house-destroying rampage. We then take a deep dive into a new conservative moral panic: parents being cut off by their adult children. What’s behind the widespread media coverage of this, from The Free Press to the Wall Street Journal? And who is “Doormat Mom,” one of the movement’s viral stars? All shall be revealed.

This week on Chapo, we review The Daily Wire’s Run Hide Fight: Infidels with screenwriter Josh Olson. We did into this failing company’s newest attempt at recreating the racist 80s action movie, this time with about five minutes of Jonathan Majors thrown in. We dig into this movie’s worldview, pitch ideas for new Run Hide Fight movies, debate what even happened in this one, and wrap up with like a solid twenty minutes of talking about how awesome Reacher is.

1073 - Unsafe, Illegal, and Common feat. Kylie Cheung (9/21/26) by Chapo Trap House

Chapo vet Jacob Bacharach is back to talk about the apocalyptic rhetoric coming from AI companies. Are the threats of an imminent disaster real, or is it just desperate panhandling? We then turn to the big New York Magazine piece on Trump’s ballroom project and analyze his strangest bit for immortality yet.

This week on Chapo, Will and Felix go long on two reading series. First, we have a piece in the Jerusalem Post with a plan to finally win the war in Iran by drafting American debt slaves. Second, we have another John Fetterman exposé in the Wall Street Journal showing just how lazy, oafish, and entitled the man is, including him ghosting children's hospitals and complaining about police funerals.

Mark Perlmutter and Thaer Ahmad from the documentary American Doctor join us this week to discuss their time working as doctors in Gaza. They discuss what they witnessed in Gaza during the genocide, their attempts to persuade politicians on Capitol Hill, the medical industry’s willfull blindness to Palestinian suffering, and what needs to happen to cure the cancerous ideology of Zionism.
