That's why I love this show. Andrew doesn't pull any punches.

I know exactly what episode he is talking about. It was the one where Martha and the Doc go back to medieval England. What's funny is that later on that season they had a ep where the Doctor loses his memory and is teaching in a boarding school in the early 1900s. That was the only ep that dealt with racism because the white woman nurse was snooty as hell Martha. But when the Doctor was having health problems, she had to push that white woman out of way. "Uhh, blacks don't have the mental faculties to be doctors!", the nurse said. Martha names all of the bones in the hand and is like, "I don't have time for your stupid ass. Get me some hot water so I can sterilize these nasty rust collectors you call medical instruments." It was very satisfying seeing the nurse's racist ass handed to her. They should have more eps like that.

YASSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!! I read her on Jezebel all the time. Not only is she a good writer and residing judge of Shade Court, she is also very beautiful. This week is going to be great. Andrew, good get. I you should get some people from racialicious or bitch magazine as well.

Walken takes any job that comes along his way. In interviews he says that if his schedule is open, he's doing the part, period. That's why he was in the live action disaster known as Brian Williams Buys His Daughter A Part in Peter Pan on NBC.

Yeah, Grace Jones is basically passed around like a toy in that scene. Crazy! It comes full around in the new Casino Royale where Bond has sex with a woman who has been a prostitute her whole life. The takeaway from that scene is supposed to be that Bond has such good D that he makes her forget about all of the sexual exploitation in her life.

I remember watching this as a young kid and there was the implied sex scene between Roger Moore and Grace Jones. Even as a seven-year-old, I shook my head at that. There is no amount of quantum mechanics that would produce a universe where someone with a body like Grace Jones to have sex with someone with a body like Roger Moore. This took me right out of the movie...and I was just a kid. The technobabble goobledly-goop on Transformers was more believable.

They are the funniest couple, because apparently Dolph was a bouncer at European night club and Grace Jones showed up one night, took a liking to him, and the next thing you know, he's killing Apollo Creed on screen. Life is weird.

We need a long form Yo, Is This Racist, about all of the fucking police shootings of unarmed black people in this country. Get a panel discussion about this, because this shit is fucked up to no end.

Mongoloid is an anthropological term. Is that racist? I think so. Anthropologists are not removed from the larger culture they are surrounded by and even though they are "supposed" list their own biases in their research, doesn't mean that they do or are even aware of them.

So, is he gonna call him the n-word again like last time?

If they make fun of this movie, I will burn down the internet! This is a solid movie; good story; good acting (even if it has Chuck Norris, but whatever); and very fun to watch. Don't make me get the matchsticks, people.
-
OOOOh boy! I remember this movie scared me to death as a child because the end is John Lithgow in a dress talking in a high voice. Very jarring. But for anyone who has not seen it, this is John Lithgow's version of the "Nutty Professor" -- he plays multiple roles; just replace the fart jokes with pedophilia.

I see it as a remake of Honey Boo Boo but the family has more money and is better looking.
-
Yeah, I saw the promos when I would take in my daily NCIS/Law and Order rerun marathons (don't judge me). It's that whole USA branding they do now -- characters, and closeted gay men, welcome!
-
I see the promos for that Crissely Knows Best show and the father seems like a very, very closeted man. And he's throwing sass around all over the place. Like one of the promos, the son says something about getting with his girlfriend, and his father (Crissley) snaps his fingers like Antwan from "Men on Films" and says, "Whatever you doing, I've already done it, baby!"

That's the teaching of every religion. To take part in this world but have one foot in this other world, the spiritual world, where the real stuff is being manifest. Be in this world, but not of this world is the same as Buddha telling you to shun your attachments to material life. In Islam that's the jihad (the struggle); In Christianity, that's your cross to bear; all of these religions have metaphors for the mental and physical work you have to do to deny your base instincts, because it only by denying your base instincts that you have a chance to commune with the divine.

I think movie could have been good if they hyped up the scientific angle much more and gave it a The-Island-of-Dr.-Moreau-type vibe. The nugget of this story is like a Critchon nove -- man messes with nature, and nature fucks man over. But they would have had to lose the good guy lawyer main character and make him one of the evil scientists who is using the monkey like a tool to improve his life instead of respecting the animal's life. This would have been a great movie if they had a Timecop time car, rode to the year 2014, and copied the plot of Rick and Morty's Mr.Meeseek episode and just find-replace with chimps.

I agree with this. The message is pretty harsh to people who are disabled. "Hey, cripples! Your lives are worthless unless you can move your bodies. George Romero says so." It sort of like if at the end of Mac and Me, Mac touched his alien hand on the boy's legs and the boy got up out of the chair and dunked a basketball. It's a bad message to send.

A succinct phrasing of June's feelings about monkey actors: "It's a damned monkey! It doesn't have a name and doesn't know what hell is going on. Stop making these damned animals cutesy and placing human thoughts and ambitions on monkeys."

I like them as well and support their projects. I guess I just expect more from them than, say Adam Corrolla, on certain topics and issues. They're alternative comics and I expect them to be an alternative to the regular bullshit that passes as comedy in mainstream America. And you don't have to apologize to me for anything. People are free to say what they like and what they feel. Even though it causes some people uneasiness, I happen to like it when the threads get into real topics surrounding entertainment and movies. We all consume this stuff and have ideas on how it operates. Some of the best discussions are when the posters are talking about sexism in movies, women's roles in entertainment, POC representation. I mean, we had one of the best discussions on feminism in the thread for Spice World...the fucking SPICE GIRLS MOVIE! I mean this was a movie produced by the guys behind American Idol, not bell hooks, but it still offered a way to talk about those subjects. And from now on, I'll lay off the Florida gifs....

I bet you Brandy's mother had that in the contract. Something like if Brandy even gets a whiff of Kim's perfume, she's quitting and Perry's on the hook for emotional distress. They had a reality show for a little bit and Brandy's mom is a shrewd negotiator. I would have loved to have had her on my side when I brought my car.
-
OH SHIT!!!! I totally forgot that Kim Kardashian was fucking Ray J. Man, was that weird on the set or what? I bet Kim asked Brandy to tell her brother to stop singing that "I hit it first" song. ...And Brandy killed someone via cat?!!!?

Man, there was a little part around when the Pete Holmes ep where there are like five to six GREAT ones. I always listen to those..."Blackie" notwithstanding.

So that's one of my favorite eps because I loved that movie when I was younger. Everything about that ep is good except for that exchange. Tamara Tunie plays the wife of one of the lawyers at Satan and Associates. There is a scene where she's changing her shirt and then demon boobies come out. When they were describing this scene they were just like "the one who..." And June was like, "No, she's a regular on Law and Order" and they were like, "naw, she's the one from the yogurt commercials." First, I doubt that she has done a yogurt commercial; they were saying that has a joke because of her hair. Basically saying she looks like she belongs on a yogurt commercial. Secondly, she's been on TV for the better part of two decades. I don't watch NCIS Los Angeles, but I know LL Cool J and Chris O'Donnell are on it. Plus, she's on Law and Order SVU, aka the most re-run-ed TV show in the history of TV. So, even if this yogurt commercial is real, it makes more sense to mention the 15+ seasons of TV that she's done than the short-run yogurt commercial. Now, the secretary was this character actress who didn't have a big role in the movie. She basically gives Keanu the cases and she shows a demon face that causes Charlize to kill herself. But she's this actress that they point out by her real name. They describe her entering the movie and they all say her name.She's not a big star and whatever her claim to fame it is not on right now, like SVU. As far as them naming the players, I happen to like that because I do quick searches to see what else they have been in, or to get a picture of their face (I don't watch all of the movies before hand). And it's not like its hard work. Paul already has the IMDB page for the movie open to give the extra production notes during the show. Plus, they have already seen the movie, so they know these people's faces. It's just scrolling.

It's not really the nickname part though. It's the actor's/actress' real name. Like all of the nicknamed people, they say their real name at some point in the podcast. The nicknames are funny. So, there was this time when they were doing one of the Leelee Sobieski movies and Paul called her "bobo Helen Hunt". Then Jason called her "baby Helen Hunt" and they settled on that. After the description of what happened in the movie, Paul says her real name. I'm gonna listen to this ep, because I do hope they do it well. The last couple have not been so great. I just hope that its not a whole bunch of "the one who..." and no actor's real name is said at all...aside from Kim Kardashian and Brandy.
