We're back and this week Ronnie is joined by a brand new guest* as they talk about the 1999 David Fincher film Fight Club. Yep. Every podcast talks about this film even though its a clear violation of Rule #1 but rules are for butt wipes and space monkeys. In this Glass Half Full we ask our usual questions: when did we first see this film, 3 things we love about it, and 1 thing to change. We also ramble about toxic masculinity in podcasting, logistics of domestic terrorism, male genitalia, 1 star IMDb reviews, and occasionally bring up the film. We spoil the ending of this film so don't listen if you're one of the 100 people in the world who have never seen Fight Club.

*Sha'ne's audio is awful and he is dead to this podcast again

Wasted Potential Podcast is back and this time to ramble through 2011's Killer Joe directed by the devil himself William Friedkin. Its an NC-17 movie so you know Ronnie picked it and this whole podcast will be family friendly. Dan leads the discussion and asks our usual questions: when did we first see this film, 3 things we love about it, and 1 thing to change. So many metaphors are made as we laugh, we drink, and we cringe together.

At 43:00 and 1:09:00 we talk spoilers. Skip to 56:45 and 1:31:27 respectively to avoid them. We usually don't care about spoiling older movies but the surprises are what make the film.

The full video of Dan watching Killer Joe is available behind our Patreon paywall. For the low price of $5 a month (with an agreed 36 month payment commitment) you can watch 90 whole minutes of Hobo Dan drinking booze, smoking a vape, and hiding his face at all the cringey McConaughey moans.

This was recorded in November 2024 so forgive the dated conversation. Remember in the 2000s when Hollywood pumped out comedies? We don't either. In this Glass Half Full, Hobo Dan and Ron talk about the 2002 comedy Orange County. We don't really follow the usual format of the show but we discuss 3 Things We Love, 1 Thing We Would Change and mostly focus on the colorful characters.

On this podcast, Ronnie rambles on about the 2016 mystery, horror film The Wailing from Korean filmmaker Na Hong-jin. Instead of using film excerpts in its original Korean language, our editor cut in moments from 2023's two time Razzie Award nominated film the Pope's Exorcist. There is a Spoiler Warning towards the end because we highly recommend this film.
