    So I'm listening to the podcasts in reverse order and I get to hear you excusing this lady with, "She's well meaning" minutes after hearing you and your guest point out that this statement is the worst hindrance to understanding the wrongness of racists.

     

    As to the non-racism subject matter, acupuncture, as you said, is utter garbage. You don't have to be from an "oriental" origin to rip people off with your nonsense either.

    haha exactly...Damien just wandered off to find his clothes when the group was in a pretty dire situation so he deserved to be fucked with and not just handed the robes. But now it's just the image of them standing out in the freezing cold and Damien having nothing while the others are somewhat well equipped that cracks me up. It kind of reminds me of Three Amigos when everyone is dying of thirst and Chevy Chase's character is pouring water all over his face and the ground.

     

    I imagined the scene from Dumb and Dumber with the second pair of gloves. Bartho should have something similar to, "Yeah, It's the Rockies" to say to Damien when the multiple layers come up.

    I take issue with how you present yourself in this minisode. Yes, that's right, I'm that much of a prick, I went all the way back to day one to evaluate you.

     

    Getting to my point, you present yourself as the champion of bad movies. There is no championing. Someone needs to stand for the little guy. Even when the little guy is a universally despised loaf of turds.

     

    Sort of enjoying the podcast, thanks.

    I seriously considered leaving the theater, which I have never done. I'm exceedingly forgiving and hopeful when I sit in those seats and will always wait for the pay off. I don't remember anything about the movie but my sadness at seeing something with so little reward. I really only have an emotional memory of this film so I don't want to critique any more than that.

    Disclaimer - I have always loved this movie; I have not watched it in more than a decade.

     

    I'm totally okay with TOYS being called a kids movie. It may be a bit abstract for most kids but that doesn't seem to be the reasoning for the critical response at the beginning of the episode. What I heard was that the sex was not age appropriate. It seems reasonable that the 'sex scenes' are more age appropriate than any realistic deaths or explicit violence. I can safely assume that most people are introduced to sex in real life before they are introduced to death or bloody violence.

     

    I also think the monologue is core to the movie's concepts of betrayal/acceptance of the individual contrasted with betrayal of/commitment to tradition.

     

    I'm a new listener so I'll give it more time but I enjoy the show as often as I don't. How's that for a backhanded compliment?
