THE PODCAST IS BACK. We talk with Paris and Beaumont from Western Promises about Netflix's controversial film "Cuties," Lori Lightfoot, Arby's, novelty restaurants, and more.

Part 2. If you're a good lawyer please get in touch with our friend @fakejerryseinfeld. Discussion turns to DreamWorks, Woody Allen, and more.

We talk with the premiere Seinfeld meme account (@fakejerryseinfeld) about the psychotic comedian, rival Seinfeld meme pages, Bee Movie, and what it's like to be sued by Jerry Seinfeld himself. Part 1 of 2.

It's a Lin-Manuel Miranda spectacular this week, as we unpack Disney's new role as the cultural champion of liberal values in the face of Florida's "Don't Say Gay" bill, and get into why we're all more or less fucked because of it. Also Rick talks about how he saw "Hamilton" in theaters more than once and actually really enjoyed it.

The rest of our conversation with @nick_vyssotsky. Also check out Mother Based, streaming every Sunday evening.

We speak with our pal @nick_vyssotsky about "Prisoners" (2013), Denis Villeneuve's abduction mystery, vis-à-vis David McGowan's "Programmed to Kill," the premiere para-political urtext and Rosetta Stone for online schizos. The title is a play on Operation Phoenix that I didn't think to say or riff out on the actual podcast.

Also check out Nick's show Mother Based (streaming every Sunday evening on YouTube) if you want to see catgirls watch IS!S beheading videos or whatever they do on there.

We kick off our ongoing examination of snake oil salesman David Lynch and do a loose roundup of the show thus far.

Tanner tries to steer the conversation towards movies (namely more about James Toback and Alec Baldwin's "Seduced and Abandoned") but listen. The riffs will not be denied.

We pal around with filmmaker @caseypuccini and discuss his work, his concept of art, and why any of us even fucking bother.

Also we talk about the documentary My Life Directed by Nicolas Winding Refn but that feels too long for the title and we only kinda mention that towards the end. And we have a whole bonus hour of this conversation that will go out in a few days with even more of our lively spoofs and goofs.
