Low Culture Boil

Drawing from the 1960 flick "Where the Boys Are", "Girls Gone Wild", and Jake's weekend in a Tennessee-made hot tub, the LCB crew goes into Spring Break. How did this now-worldwide phenomenon come to be? Do the kids rage as hard as the Hasidim do on Purim? Featuring the return of Courtney's Lacroix-meets-tequila cocktail.

Despite Courtney's three days of no sleep and aggressive construction on Rax's street, the LCB crew manages to pay homage to the mayor of Flavortown and all that comes with "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives". Could this be the perfect TV show? Must we even ask?

Dust off the sparkling lip gloss and edible body butter, slap on those low-rise jeans, and head to 2001 where we break down the masterpiece that is the film adaptation of Josie and the Pussycats. Alan Cumming, Parker Posey, and a slew of early aughts stars chew the scenery like never before in what the critics couldn't understand, but Low Culture Boil holds as divine.

Now that the world has done a collective mea culpa for Britney, Rax and Courtney take this particular moment to reflect on another wronged icon. From destitute tot to short-lived "it" girl, Anna Nicole Smith's journey is a fascinating and tragic look into some of our culture's darkest and most pervasive pathologies.

In Part 2 of our Ghostbusters deep dive, Matt and Danny dive more into their seminal article "Slimer on Coke, Muncher on Zoloft" and Courtney delights all with a profound connection between Ghostbusters and Alien beyond the mere presence of the inimitable Signourney Weaver.

Matt Christman and Daniel Bessner take the LCB crew into the world of the original Ghostbusters and speculate on its upcoming reboot. What do the films say about Reaganism? Hedonism? Mass consumption of corn and hot dogs?
