Sketch: The Hugely Inappropriate Last Role of a Legendary Actor. (Inspired by the death of Lauren Bacall, who was in an episode of Family Guy, but also inspired by every other actor who has ever lived.)James goes to a sex store, because I guess he's gunning for a gig at Vice. Kaleb drives to the middle of nowhere.Movie Recommendations for Miserable People: The Vanishing, Pay Day.Give us some money if you're a wayfaring rich guy. Libsyn is expensive.
James meets Kaleb in the distant future: 1975.Kaleb tries to tell a story about Jimmy Cliff. James decides it's a good idea to break the news of Robin Williams' death about halfway through this story, ruining everything.
We're now on Libsyn in earnest. So I gotta do these descriptions right.There's an opening sketch. We're trying to do a sketch every week to keep the writing muscles limber. We're also doing this as a sort of anti-improv mission statement.We talk about the passing of Kaleb's hero, Jim Rockford. We also talk about Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and outsider art phenomenon LEWIS. This was recorded prior to his discovery, unfortunately, but hey, that's just this business.Donate to the cause if you want. We're both dead broke. Beyond broke.
Alright. We're caught up. This is the first Libsyn-exclusive episode. No more Podomatic for us. Not ever. Unless people don't donate when our money runs out. Then we'll probably wind up there again. But hey, right now it's time for big, shimmering statements of optimism.I remember nothing about this episode because Podomatic ran out of bandwidth and I got distracted. We did a sketch. Thanks to everybody who helped us get here. Another new episode next Saturday.Please donate on PayPal at [email protected]
