Gutterballs

Brenda Song and the epic saga of Zach and Cody, we refrain from discussing Dagney Taggert, Dabney Coleman ruled the 80s, artisanally sharpened pencils, the nuances of license plate privacy, feeding a stoned stranger scrambled eggs in the Alps, liquid nitrogen blow torches, a briefly flashing floodlight, why the sun is a fickle mistress, serrated skin scoopers, fireworms eating your flesh, a too tidy trunk close, solving the 26 year-old Takagi/akagi conundrum, why Brad thought Die Hard and Steven Seagal movies were equivalents, and our country's horrifying crumbling infrastructure.

Luis Colina, a film editor who said he was working on the Coen brothers' 1994 film "The Hudsucker Proxy" when they decided to write him into "Lebowski." Colina plays the angry Corvette owner who threatens to "kill" the Dude's car.

Buy the ticket take the ride, growling it out, Worf embarrassment, antihipstamine, hypnotics not the preferred nomenclature, we've got some homework to do, Don Henley shirts, contrast and unity, the love of ADS, a punky walk, a funk, a detailed analysis of Walter's possible hairstyling techniques, the turnabout of The Dude being the threatener of castration.

Another installment of Endocrinology with Brad and Adam, the incredible optimism of Walter, the globe on a riser, the mystery of translucent shudders, identifying the contents of the nut bowl, background lighting, DuraFlame timelines, douchey Larry eyes, the centering of Pilar, an excellent match on action, "police, airing a grievance with Fleetwood Mac.

There are a lot of ugly beeps out there, a bunch of Melancholia talk, a giraffical image format, a never-ending parade of gut punches, mayhem is perhaps the word for it, a melange of Weird Al verbosity, all the great accordion hits of the 90s, how Brad can get his groove back, narthex versus vestibule, canned hams and crepes, Mr. Frump and his Iron Lung, playing fast and loose with temporal consistencies and the history of bungee cords, gerbil half tail sheaths and assorted viscera.

Let these non-assumers get over themselves, who's the more earnest artist - Maude or Marty, trying to humanize Maude, the wonder of the movie, a film/digital verbal standoff, Brilliance On Both Ends: The Autobiography of Walter Sobchak, pictures at an exhibition, the three fools, a pop music rant, nuclear asses, a spiritual prequel to Plexiglass Toilet, our brains usually veto our eyes, bokeh, an avant garde composition, and Walter's ArtManCrush.

A delay trifecta, plotbeats, microwave pulses and amplitudes, mesh protectors, Brad's two routers, Mussorgsky, Rimsky-Korsokov and a gnome, the jerky and the furtive, a look of moderate confusion, a potential tights connection, the commute from downtown Los Angeles to North Hollywood on Radford, a man named Martin Randahl, and a controversy surrounding the possible Charlie Kaufman cameo?

A very poo-chase report, the economics and craft of creating CARcasses of Hollywood cars, a strangely calm driver, getting schooled in the sweatiness of Data's mother by a 9-year-old Irish girl, why The Dude didn't have an intimate experience with the windshield, the baking hot beer of the vagrant's stop by, the moderate discovery of the similarity of Larry's and his teacher's handwriting, the recurrence of the blue bug, the buzz of recycling day, being careful when pulling papers and some incongruous 3-hole punches, the grossness of The Dude's non-wet car seat, a Lebowski Squanto, and why should there by a period after that!

We explore the filmically historical significance of David Lynch's entire catalogue, discuss the merits of Dušan Makavejev's WR The Mysteries of the Organism vs. Tommy Wiseau's The Room, a long-awaited Creedence payoff, Maude's hitting implement, we don't understand car door locks, door parts are pylons, a regular cigarette butt, a parallax-less nondistant object, and we go down a bad air rabbit hole on famous or not-so-famous fake beers.

Unnatural sky geometries inserted into others' memories, demon whistling, we examine the legacy of sucking, some sassafras uncertainty, there's a long... something, a dusky comedy, just give me one Glazer, why that's no brain --it's a placenta, augmentative vs. majoritive, a scientist stole our root beer, Beatle boots, a nice stereoscopic phone ring, we hear Sandra laughing, "How are you, dear?", more sparroting, it's a case..., a vocabulary three-fer, is Sandy short for Alexander?

We go through Maude's LP collection, discover NagelBett's track listing, a semi-heartfelt apology, magically rearranging liquor bottles, checking out a piece of film dirt, going full "verk," marveling at the history of synthpop, an exasperated gutteral sigh, revisiting the darkest mouth in Hollywood, a deliberate OCD-inducing production design element, not liking the tinkles, Lebowski jurisprudence, and considering the films we need versus the films we deserve.
