Mental Platypus

On this episode, Jason and Jared continue to get Tweedy with it (na na na, etc.)! It's the last entry from The Minus 5, their eponymous 2006 album, aka, The Gun Album (due to artwork), which Jared praises as a candidate for one of his desert island discs. Arguably, not as much Tweedy as the prior two Minus 5 entries, but there's a not insignificant contribution from Wilco here, and it's just a damn fine album that more people should hear, so check it out!

No social media for this podcast, so please spread the word--if you like us, recommend us to a friend!

Jason recommends: COCAINE BEAR

Jared recommends: CRACKER ISLAND by Gorillaz

On this episode, we continue our dive into Jeff Tweedy's extraWILCOlar activities with the...minor...Minus 5 work, the At the Organ EP (it's fine, we could've skipped it, though). Also, get ready for Inception-like tangent shit.

Jason recommends: the late-period Billy Wilder film, Avanti!

Jared recommends: the albums Putting on Airs and Lighten Up by Erin Rae

Jason and Jared get down with the Minus 5's DOWN WITH WILCO. Plus, is Jared entering his Larry David phase? Why hasn't Harrison Ford won an Oscar? And much more.

Thanks for listening! We're not on Social Media anymore (unless you count Jason's Facebook account), so subscribing to the show, rating it, and recommending it to friends are all things we greatly appreciate.

We're back on our Tweedy bullshit! That's right, Jason and Jared are discussing Loose Fur's eponymous 2003 debut, an album recorded in the Yankee Hotel Foxtrot era. Strap in, folks, it's a wild one.

We continue our exploration of Jeff Tweedy's extraWILCOlar activities with his score for Ethan Hawke's feature-length directorial debut, CHELSEA WALLS. The movie is okay, the soundtrack RULES. Also, there's some, er, football talk. Yup, that's right, football.

And so we embark on our miniseries with many names: Tweedy's Extra-Wilcolar Activities, Being Where?, or Getting Tweedy With It. We're talking the 1995 Golden Smog album, Down By The Old Main Stream, which is a pretty good album!

This episode is a bit of a palate cleanser before getting Tweedy with it. Jason and Jared discuss the merits of covers albums, this year's Treehouse of Horror, and offer up some recommendations.

Yeah, it's one of our longer episodes, but it's the last film in our Nicole Holofcener discussion, and we had a lot to talk about. In addition to breaking down The Last Duel, we rank all the entries in the Holofcener Cinematic Universe, and land on our next discussion focus (hint, he's an American aquarium drinker).

Well, we've reached the penultimate entry in our dive into the Holofcener Cinematic Universe, CAN YOU EVER FORGIVE ME. Jason and Jared discuss the different lenses through which they viewed the film, the brilliant performances turned in by McCarthy and Grant, and more.
