Matt and Aviv have a SPOILER FREE discussion of the new movie, Weapons. And discuss slurs for robots while reading your emails.

(00:00:00) Matt is a Modern Day Andy Rooney

(00:19:01) Episode Review

Matt learns about trailers at the beginning of movies. Aviv learns about the war of 1812.

Matt and Aviv read your correspondence and talk inspiration vs interpolation vs theft. We also tackle James Gunn, Sabrina Carpenter, and by popular request, Dean Cain.

We're back and we're more depressed than ever. Matt discovers where his customer service rage comes from, and we have a few choice words for Hank Abraham's buddy Benjamin Netanyahu. 

Speaking of Hank Abraham, in this week's show, season 17 episode 15, he goes out in-- in our opinion-- a very character consistent way. But we never get to the most important question of the episode: What does Pippa Cox see in that guy?

Also there's a porn-sniffing dog...

Aviv's back and brings with him some hot takes. Matt is as measured as always. 

Intro/Outro music is a cover of "Home Sweet Home" by Slysh, Aviv's favorite Icelandic emo band. 

FYI: Our podcast platform recommended we add 10 additional ad breaks to this episode. We did not do that. You're welcome.

A quick canyon day update for all who celebrate.

(00:00:00) How Was Your Week?

(00:11:20) Episode Review

Get in, losers. We're doing Kitty Genovese again! In Season 17, Episode 13: Forty-One Witnesses, we ask the tough questions: Why don't people take it upon themselves to get involved with police investigations. Why would someone sit in a cafe with a laptop and not be writing a screenplay? And exactly how wrong can everyone get a story that's pretty easy to understand.

Though it's the end of July, and the situation in Los Angeles and across the nation has gotten significantly worse, Aviv and Matt had some choice words for our newest secret police force all the way back in June.
