This week we watched the John Landis comedy classic Trading Places with Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd. This week we talk about classical music, we talk about The Twilight Zone movie, blackface, if Dan Aykroyd is obsessed with dick jokes, See You Next Wednesday, prison rape jokes, comparing how Eddie Murphy and Hugh Grant's escapades were different

This week we turned it up to eleven and watched This is Spinal Tap. When Jimmy and Forrest found out Lucas had not seen this, we decided to record an emergency episode of the podcast. Lucas talks about knowing the references going in to the movie, but being able to connect them to his experiences playing in bands. We talk about Michael McKean's time on Saturday Night Live, Jimmy's undying love for this movie, being big in Japan, and the band Anvil.

This week we read the Sandman comics. Our first (of probably many) Neil Gaiman story. Forrest ponders if Hell is a self perpetuating autocracy. Jimmy talks about people seeing the Demon Azrael. We talk about John Joseph's book Evolution of a Cro-Mag, the non masturbatory habits of the DC universe, how this comic was transmitted sexually, Shakespeare's muppet show, and the many gods who make appearances in this story.

This week we watched the movie Cooties. We talked about wasting Jack McBrayer's talent, the show Glee, Forrest's hate for movies about teachers, Forrest spoils the DC Animated Hush movie. Jimmy gets annoyed with Forrest.

This week's movie is the Coen Brothers' Hail, Caesar. Forrest loves the Coen Bros. Jimmy loves old Hollywood. This movie combines both. We talk about the old movies and stars they reference. We also discuss how Alden Ehrenreich had to have been cast as Han Solo after a certain scene of this movie. We talk about Once Upon A Time in Hollywood another movie which is a love letter to Hollywood. We talk about people not liking movie in black and white, the Twilight Zone, and Guillermo del Toro.

This week Jimmy chose Shin Godzilla. We talk about the different iterations we've liked. Forrest is pretty sure one of the guys in this movie wants to fuck Godzilla. Jimmy talks about Godzilla's scream. We talk about Godzilla evolving, how taking a shower after being exposed to radioactive materials, and how bad the movie Orphan is.

This week we read our first comic, Jason McNamara's Rattler drawn by Greg Hinkle. Forrest read this on a whim, and chose this because it gave him a Twilight Zone vibe. Jimmy didn't know what to expect when Forrest gave the vague description of, "a man hears his girlfriend's voice in the strangest places." We talk about Stephen King and the importance of being Bachman.

This week we watched Kevin Smith's Tusk. This is one of Jimmy's favorite Kevin Smith movies after watching it for the first time. We talk about his old movies and how people used to (and still) shit on comic books. Forrest thinks he found shit that should not be in the movie. We try to determine whose the hero in this. Jimmy tells us about the movie Girl in the Box.
