I often wonder how irreparably the pandemic has changed everything. I can’t even imagine going outside without a mask on. I try to imagine how I will feel the first day they say it’s safe. I think I’ll feel naked. I have also dealt with a lot of social awkwardness. One day, I stepped outside to get the mail and I had a new neighbor across the street doing his lawn. In the before times, I’d go over there, shake their hand, and introduce myself. Instead, we waved at each other, said hello, and just stood there staring at each other. You could see there was a moment of “What do we do in this situation?” passing between us. Anyway, I’ll do better next time. It was just a weird instance of not being adapted to every situation in this new normal.

I scored an HTDGM bargain today. Amazon Prime Video had Xanadu for $4.99 for HD streaming. Vudu wanted $14.99. Since the movie is in Movies Anywhere I bought it on Amazon and can watch it on Vudu (and others)! (Xanadu was my introduction to the podcast and is still one of my favorite episodes.)

Happy 95th Birthday!

Is the entire podcast just screaming whenever they discuss the US response? I wish I had watched it. I watched Cats on kast with Cinco then just didn't do it the day of. I forgot they had a day of show price hike and decided not to since I didn't buy in advance.

Great talk with Jason about the long tail of Covid. Eternally grateful to be living where I am but deeply sad for my American friends (which frankly I have been for decades, but especially now). I highly recommend Andy Slavitt's podcast In The Bubble, he has medical experts on regularly to assess the current state of the pandemic and the US response.

Just pretend you live in Maine now. That's what it is always like.

All day skinny jeans. All night wet dreams.

Haha, congrats on your win Cameron, well deserved. Man, great opening theme this week. And that Geostorm story is amazing. Thank you for your service. Breakin' 2! Wow.

Next week's show!

Got it! Thanks

Can you edit the topic title, @Cameron H.? Got a stray 6 there that should be a 5. I hate when that happens!

"The Six-String Samurai is Buddy, a mysterious and powerful hero of the post-apocalyptic future, who must fight his way to Lost Vegas and ditch a bothersome ophan kid if he's ever to become the next King of Rock 'n' Roll. Along the way they encounter bounty-hunting bowlers, a cannibalistic "Cleaver" family, a Windmill God, and even the Russian army. Winding up at the gates of Vegas, Buddy finds himself in an epic battle with Death over the child's soul and comes to realize just what it means to be King." Holy. Fucking. Shit. 5/7 Will watch over and over again.

If Uptown has funked you or a loved one up, you may be entitled to financial compensation.

Umbrella dick, corkscrew dick. It all looks the same in the dark.

Were you misled by a man with a bad French accent about whether or not a dog bites? You may be entitled to compensation.

He should have been a scent instead of a symbol when he was fighting with his record company! Then he could hand you purple scented paper and you’d know... it’s HIM. Also, argh. I am mad I missed the CATS live show. I paid $20 for that when it was released.

Okay, you got a legendary screenwriter (Buck Henry), a legendary director (Mike Nichols), a legendary star (George C. Scott) and you get this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Day_of_the_Dolphin This is one of those "scared me as a kid now notsomuch" kind of movies. Talking dolphins being trained to assassinate the President of the United States? How can June/Paul/Jason not be in for this? Plus, the hilariously serious movie poster: Are those goggles or does George C. Scott have a tank with mini-dolphins attached to his head?
