What the Fork?: Exploring The Good Place

This week, Jared fails to find anything he searches for on Google and Jason extols the virtues of Duran Duran. Plus, there's dueling Connerys, ensuring that quite a large number of people will never be guests on the show, and they even manage to talk about one of the best episodes of Season 2 of The Good Place, Chapter 16: Dance Dance Resolution.

We're back, Fork Buddies! Sure, we discuss the Season 2 (Chapters 14 and 15) opener, but along the way, we also sound off on K-Cups, tiny Target, Hawaiian pizza, and more.

We thought we'd throw a little episode (if you consider nearly two hours "little") together between seasons, and wanted to do something special. Enter out first guest, Carly from YabYum! It's a wonderful crossover event that culminates in a very special award presented to a very special person. Also, it's Jason's birthday episode, which we celebrate with an on-brand dessert.

Thank you so much to Carly and YabYum for partnering with us on this episode. Please check out all the great stuff they do (https://www.yabyumwest.com/)

For the season finale of The Good Place, Jason and Jared go through the whole episode from end to end, gushing over how amazing it is, because holy motherforking shirtballs is this a brilliant episode, or what? There are also plenty of digressions (the Coen brothers, the questionable comedies of Arnold Schwarzenegger, the ridiculousness that is the Top Gun sequel, and much more). Honestly, it's possible that this is the What the Fork-iest episodes of What the Fork?, so have Janet call you a train and strap in, fork buddies! 

The episode discussion starts and stops a number of times, so good luck!

We started this season with Talking Heads, and we finish the season with Talking Heads. This time, a snippet of "This Must Be the Place."

Episode 12! We're almost done with the first season, and what better way to discuss this episode than by talking about something else for a half hour? This week those somethings include James Bond/James Bonding, Kevin Smith, and more. Also, the guys admit that they are not opposed to having sponsors (hint, hint).

Episode discussion starts at 30:38.

Since we talk about Sondre Lerche's "Like Lazenby," but you can't hear it, there's a little taste at the end.

On this edition of What the Fork?, we do eventually get around to discussing episode 11 of The Good Place, but not before first going off on a number of tangents, including a continued discussion of the films of Barry Levinson, Jason admits his literary guilty pleasure is Michael Crichton, Jared cops to being a huge nerd (no shock there), and along the way, they also discuss Michael Douglas, Joel Schumacher, John Grisham film adaptations, Gene Hackman, Robyn Hitchcock, and more. It's all connected.

Episode discussion starts at the 24 minute mark.

We kicked off the show by talking about The Natural, so that's how we go out, with an excerpt from Randy Newman's great theme song for that film.

For us, this is a crazy tight show. There's the occasional digression into conversations about adaptations of Nick Hornby's books or the films of Hugh Grant, but generally speaking, the discussion pretty much sticks to episode 10 of The Good Place, Chidi's Choice.

I don't know about Jason (he didn't give me one in time to edit this), but I ran out of songs called "Heaven," and I'm too lazy to research, and we talked about Elvis Costello's cover of "She," so that's what we go out on.

Alright fork buddies, this week, the guys discuss The Marx Brothers, the Criterion Collection, post-punk, Barry Levinson, Jared attempts to name Jason's forthcoming child (apologies to Kristen), and, yes, they do discuss The Good Place.

Discussion of Chapter 9: ...Someone Like Me as a Member begins at 43:37, which is why we wanted to let you know.

Our closing "Heaven" is by none other than Tahani's best friend, Beyonce.

Boots, Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, and Neil Finn are just some of the tangents Jason and Jared go off on in this week's episode. They eventually begin discussing The Good Place, Chapter 7: The Eternal Shriek, a little over 27 minutes into the show. It's the longest episode yet.

Our closing "Heaven" is by The Walkmen off of their album, Heaven.
