Plaid Lads

It's a Halloween SpoOoOktacular! After the Lads try to solve the mystery of what's going on in Tom's creepy basement, they reminisce about what Halloween means to them. There's lots of talk about costumes, like Justin possibly dressing up as Meatloaf, Frank dressing up as a Japanese professional wrestler, and Tom figuring out how to pee with his clothes on backward. Then we power through the mail bombing shit because it's depressing. (Note: this was recorded before they caught the perp.) Then the boys talk about the crazy silent Swedish docu-horror film Häxan. We marvel at the technical achievements, and the way Christensen threads the needle on witchcraft and the patriarchy way back in 1922. Then the boys talk about Talking Heads Fear of Music, analyzing why it occupies a unique space in the band's history. Then it's on to Frasier S1E5 Here’s Looking At You, an ill-advised episode where Martin spies on a lady with a telescope, and it still makes Justin cry for some reason. We close out with a new segment where the boys recommend things they've been enjoying.

Next up is Olivier Assayas’ Clouds of Sils Maria, Mirror Traffic by Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks, and Frasier S1E6, The Crucible.

This week on the pod the boys sort through the childhood trauma that happens when you force a Plaid Lad to do outdoor activities. Then the boys talk about the Jamal Kashogghi situation (this was recorded before the Saudis debuted their bullshit excuse) and the embarrassing Elizabeth Warren race science thing. Then it’s on to having a blast with the original Taking of Pelham One Two Three. The Lads talk about 70s faces, 70s NYC, and 70s social values. Then it’s on to Feist’s excellent second album Let It Die, and the various ways the boys charted their relationship to Feist’s music with their social lives. (They all wanted girls to talk to them.) To close out, we talk Frasier S1E4 I Hate Frasier Crane, where Frasier gets challenged to a fight by Joe Mantenga. Daphne’s a psychic and Martin is disrespectful to sex workers.

This week on the pod the Lads try to figure out what can be done as America becomes an even worse hellhole post-Kavanaugh confirmation. Then we talk Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger’s classic 1947 drama Black Narcissus. Do nuns turn into sex demons? Does the film’s use of brownface invalidate post-colonial readings? Tom and Frank also discuss The Gringo Protocol and everyone loves Mr. Dean’s short shorts. Next we discuss the Flaming Lips’ Clouds Taste Metallic, the last guitar driven album they did before they got all spacey. Frank hasn’t heard it before. Does he like it? Stay tuned! We close out with Frasier S1E3 Dinner at Eight, where the Crane boys get their expensive ties cut off at a shitty steak restaurant. ALSO: Frank drops knowledge on Justin and Tom about Pete Davidson’s weird sex habits.

The Lads are back! This week we raged about the Kavanaugh shit and tried to sort out whether or not there’s any hope left in this country (spoiler: it’s not lookin’ good.) Then we marvel (and argue a bit) about Bob Fosse’s masterwork All That Jazz. We convert Justin to loving it. Then two out of three of us talk about Vince Staples’ Summertime ‘06. To close out, we talk about Frasier S1E2 Space Quest, which makes Justin cry for some reason.
