EPISODE 58:

In this episode our resident homies talk some mad shit. We talk movies. Crime movies. We mention "The Friends of Eddie Coyle" again (have you seen it yet?). It's your usual episode, really. In between bouts of rage and rambling, we talk about the significance of "Jackie Brown" and sequels made decades after the original. It's a fun talk. Join us, won't you?

It's also important to remember that Roman Polanski is a convicted rapist. Just throwing that one out there. You know. In case you're on the fence on rape.

How are we back on Tarantino? Haven't we mulled over this already? The through-line of this podcast is becoming more and more muddled as time goes on. It's like concrete smoke. Someone draw up a list. I want a diagram of some kind. People love those.

We never get back to Elmore Leonard, if you're wondering. Sorry, everyone.

In other news, between recording this episode and publishing it, David Frost has passed away, thus proving that neither time nor the grave can stay the icy vengeance of Richard M. Nixon.

EPISODE 57:

Let's talk grit, kids. And I'm not talking about that shit in your mouth when you're eating bad clams, I'm talkin' real grit. I'm talkin' 1970's crime cinema, dig?

One of the reoccurring themes on this show is crime and movies. Cruz had the bright idea of combining the two in this episode. He's a sharp cat, that Cruz. It's topical because Elmore Leonard just died and that's most of what our next episode is about. But this isn't that! This is this!

So we talk about that. And other stuff, probably. I don't know. You've listened to this podcast before, right? It's another one of those.

Do they have the death penalty in this state?

EPISODE 56--

We briefly talk about the shit show that Comic Con is, was, and shall be for all time briefly before James uses this as a jumping off point to describe some of his previous adventures at the San Diego Comic Con. Most of them involve booze and sadness. Go figure.

Note that he doesn't mention any of the good times like when an opera singer bought him a Tim and Eric shirt or that time he saw Seth Green in real life and had to learn that people actually came that small. Nope, just harrowing, drunken nonsense. Like his life, really.

Did James really tell that Cruisin' story already? Someone should stop James. Someone with power.

Then we talk about "Batman Returns," because Batman is something we haven't squeezed dry yet.

End theme "Bridges" by The Patrick McNamara Problem.

EPISODE 55--

So James went to the joint. Because he's an asshole. And an idiot. And nothing is ever going to be the same. You change when you're on the inside, but a wise man once said something to be, "You better get busy living or get busy dying." I think that man was Donovan.

Anyways, don't drink and drive, kids. Apparently cops get bent out of shape about that kind of thing. Still.

Fuck.

Then Cruz waxes on about how he stopped a crime. Kind of. Basically this is our version of "Heat." We're mostly glad that he didn't become a human "Guinea Pig," which now that I think about it is a misleadingly named film series! Shame on you, Japan!

It's weird writing these descriptions out sober. I mean, goddamn. Is everything always this boring?

EPISODE 54:

There's an old story about (name) Eames and how after a rambling speech in front of students said, "Give me a moment," then wrapped up everything he was saying together in a tight, little bow. James is not Mr. Eames. He is not even the gal Mr. Eames had an affair with.

We talk about Superman and Star Trek and what makes a good summer blockbuster. Also, maybe stuff about film theory?

I don't know. It's all a haze and I'm too tired and have to get up too early to be spending sweat on this shit. Oh, and, uh, I'm sure some cusses.

EPISODE 53: In which the WG,SG gang talks about murder! Specifically murder revolving around the TV series Hannibal, as well as just general madness. It's a White Guys, Square Glasses podcast, what do you want?

For some reason I sound incredibly drunk in the introduction of this episode. I assure you that I am not.

Anyways, Cruz and I really get into the logic of murder in the universe that Tom Harris has dreamed up (the "Hannibaliverse" as we call it at StarlingCon). This is what it's like to be a nerd. You can actually hear it. Don't say that you weren't warned.

So, go watch Hannibal. And Silence of the Lambs. And maybe Manhunter, but definitely not Hannibal Rising.

Part of me really hopes that the Church of Scientology is completely missing the point and Hannibal and sees it as an attack on psychiatry. That and Hugo Strange. Idiots.

End theme "Hearts on Fire" by John Cafferty.

You are getting sleepy, very sleepy.

EPISODE 52:

We talk about movies and the Oscars and what makes a movie worth watching. Basically we like it when things get shot. And blown up. And we don't say it, but even Mark Kermode knows that most movies would be improved with a helicopter explosion.

Then at some point James says the n-word. Is it in context? Does it matter? Where and when can we throw that brick at his head? You'll have to listen to find out!

For the record: This episode went into some dark and terrible place and thankfully Cruz had the presence of mind to cut all that shit right out. God bless him.

In this episode we forget the face of our fathers.

EPISODE 51: We return after a deceptively long hiatus to indulge in cholo accents and ribaldry derived there of. WARNING: If you are sensitive to racial humor then this is not the episode for you! Also: You are a dumb goon! Get that taken care of, you stupid, dumb goon!

We talk about the movie American Me, which is, like, the worst movie to watch if you know nothing about Mexicans in American. Or Latinos in general. But also: It will teach you that involving yourself with people that habitually involve themselves in stabbings and unwanted sodomy will get you stabbed and sodomized when you least expect it. Possibly it will also get you tamales. I don't know. I'm not Latino. I've come to accept that.

We also bring back out love of Bond, because, fuck? What else are we going to talk about? Fire Safety Cholo Dad? We all know that doesn't have legs that long.

Then we rap about what makes a difficult, issue driven movie worth watching. This might be us getting deep. Then we talk about super intelligent apes.

It's an exciting episode.

Theme by Andy Kneis.

End song "Cisco Kid" by War.

EPISODE 50:

In this episode Cruz and James talk about the legacy of James Bond ad nauseam. . . and pretty much only that. They have a lot to say about it.

Why am I wasting time with this?

We talk about Hispanics and their apparent light hearted affection of death. Also Cruz talks about meeting one of his heroes on a shoot! I can say that right? "Heroes." I think that is applicable.

Yeah. Let's get to it.

Post-script: Skyfall is dope as fuck. Go see that movie.

Art: Maybe by Leo Fuchs. Maybe. I don't know. Thanks for helping to obliterate sourcing and ownership, tumblr.

End Song: "Skyfall" by Adele.

White Guys, Square Glasses will return in Episode 51: The Legend of Curly's Gold.

EPISODE 49:

I'm not used to episodes being a mess, but this episode might just be that. I mean, for fuck's sake I make a joke about what Cruz's arms look like! ON A PODCAST! You would think I was born yesterday! Or retarded!

Then Cruz brings a solid toilet story. He just brings it. Brings it hard. And he wrecks that shit.

Just wrecks it.

Also this episode is about Game of Thrones, I guess. Again. Sorry, David.

Theme by Andy "Jokes" Kneis.

End Theme is the Dick Cavett Theme song. OBVIOUSLY.
