  • S2E8 / What the What's in the Grab Bag?

    Jeff Leads the discussion this week, and it's a grab bag.  Topics that aren't robust enough to support a whole show, but need to be discussed.

    What are you nostalgic for:

    Scott:  Video Killed the Radio Star Music Video

    Jeff:  80s Commercials

    Reneé: Not having nostalgia, but her answer is really interested about how her brain works.

    Grab bag topics pulled from the Babadook hat:

    1. Super Bowl Halftime show
    2. Tyler Perry
    3. Military funding for film
    4. Media reaction to Kobe Bryant
    5. NFL female coaches
    6. PETA comercial now show during Super Bowl
    7. “Old Town Road” commercial
    8. Virtue Signaling
    9. Barnes and Noble canceling books released with black covers
    10. American Dirt
    11. Do we value women’s stories
    12. Why did joker get 11 Oscar nominations?

      18. S2E6 / What the What is your Habitus?

        The team had an assignment this week. Scott, Jeff, and Reneé assigned the others a piece of media to enjoy (okay, so maybe enjoy isn't quite the right word). Jeff's pick was the early aught film Grandma's Boy. Keeping in character, Scott assigned Godfrey Reggio's film Koyaanisqatsi, *sung in a  dark, sepulchral basso profondo.* Reneé said, let's change it up and listen to PJ Harvey's debut album Dry.  The team discuss and dare we say .. insult each other's picks? All in good fun of course! Discussion includes reference to zoologist Desmond Morris, Pierre Bordeaux, the habitus theory, and The Bridges of Madison County.
