New Year, Same Lads! The Lads return from holiday break to talk a bunch of nonsense into your earholes! First up, we talk about the news, as the 116th Congress officially convened for the first time in the midst of a grueling federal shutdown. Then it’s on to go back to the work of Victor Sjolstrom with his landmark silent horror-drama, The Phantom Carriage! The Lads chat about its now-alien seeming morality, it’s incredible practical effects, and Frank rants about how shitty CGI looks in contrast. Then the lads chat about Brian Eno’s ambient masterpiece Another Green World, and talk about the transformative effect it had on Eno’s career and their own lives. Last it’s on to Frasier S1E13 Guess Who’s Coming To Breakfast, where Martin fucks a neighbor, Frasier is smarmy, and Niles is once again a creep! Frank is sick! Justin screams in despair! Tom wants to learn Swedish! Good times!

This week the lads battle back from existential crises large and small in order to keep bringing you the Plaid Lads content you crave! They were gonna talk politics but get sidetracked yelling at each other about STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI! Who has the right opinion? Listen and find out! (It’s Frank.) Then we get a SNEAK ATTACK Frasier recap where we discuss S1E10 Oops! Bulldog gets fired by John Glover, and there are a lot of problematic jokes. Then it’s on to Charles Laughton’s 1955 masterpiece Night of the Hunter. The Lads go through the film’s troubled history, its amazing end product, and Frank makes Justin cry! Then the Lads talk Courtney Barnett’s sophomore effort Tell Me How You Really Feel. Is it as good as her first album? No! But it’s still good. Then we close out with ANOTHER Frasier, S1E11 Death Becomes Him. This one is a lot funnier and more fun to talk about.

Murphy Chrimbo! The Lads take you to the tragic events of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade scarred a generation. A rogue Spider-Man float and the coming of our new Minion overlord bring the dawn of a new, terrible age. Then the boys settle the score on the Christmas season once and for all: is Die Hard a Christmas movie? Is Baby, It’s Cold Outside problematic? (Yes.) And the boys sort out their feelings on the season in general. Then it’s on to the Coen Brothers 2013 masterpiece, Inside Llewyn Davis. The Lads resonate perhaps a bit TOO closely with the films’ troubled protagonist, and geek out over the movies’ many references to the folk music of the era. Then it’s on to talk about the album that’s the inspiration for the movie, Inside Dave Van Ronk by Dave Van Ronk. The boys marvel over the albums continued emotional resonance, Van Ronk’s remarkable life, and talk about what sets it apart from its contemporaries. Finally it’s Frasier S1E9 Selling Out! It’s the first appearance of Frasier’s manager Bebe Glasier! Justin forgot to watch this one though so we just kinda hash out the basics.

Happy Thanksgiving! The Lads get prepped for Turkey Day as Justin invites you to a down county Thanksgiving meal to start the proceedings. Then the boys talk about their favorite parts of the holiday, including the struggles of being a vegetarian on vegetable-lite holiday. Justin closes things out by telling a WILD story about a call to a cable company that almost descends into phone sex. Then the boys move on to the whimsical 1937 Hiroshi Shimizu film Mr Thank You. The Lads are utterly charmed by this slice of life of interwar, Depression-era Japan, and marvel at its honesty about Japanese life. Then it’s on to talking about Music From Big Pink, the debut album by the Band. If you’re not already sold on the Band, Tom will set you straight about them, because they fucking rule. Finally, we chat about Frasier S1E8, Beloved Infidel. Did Martin cheat on his wife? Find out!
