The Stranger Things team (among others) is back with a similar “a community of X bands together against a supernatural force” story in The Boroughs, which features an all-star cast (Alfred Molina, Alfre Woodard, Lester from The Wire) going up against [redacted] AND their own aches and pains. Does the actors’ group chemistry carry the story, or did it need to take one thing off? And have we maybe seen these ideas in other properties like The Descent and Man On The Inside? If that pairing of references didn’t give you whiplash, come Around The Dial with us for Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed, Animaniacs, The Bear‘s trip to Gary, IN, and a Drunk Dave recovery report before Dave takes us to a DIFFERENT old-folks home with his Aqua Teen Hunger Force Canon pitch. BAffleck won, Tom Hardy lost, and we all hoped Game Time would tie the whole episode together. Barge on in with a six-pack and some gossip: it’s an all-new Extra Hot Great.

This isn't the eighties.
Tara
00:45

Dave
01:52
The pitcher of hell
Sarah
01:53
Devendra
Dave
01:54
fucking back
Devindra
01:55
Hello, happy to be back. Maybe a more I feel like a more fitting. A more fitting episode as I'm thinking about my health and stuff now.
Tara
02:02
Mm, true.
Devindra
02:02
Yeah.
Tara
02:03
We are in fact talking about the boroughs. Retired engineer Sam. Alfred Molina had planned to move to a New Mexico seniors community called the Burroughs with his wife Lily, Jane Kasmerick, but she died of a stroke five months before Sam is reluctantly dropped off there by his daughter Claire. Jenna Malone. Initially Sam is just determined to get out of his contract, but lets himself be talked into socializing with his neighbors, including a welcome barbecue hosted by Jack, Bill Pullman. where he also meets retired journalist Judy, Alfrey Woodard, and retired Dr. Wally, Dennis O'Hare, who end up being the perfect investigative partners when extremely weird stuff starts happening. The show was co-created by Jeffrey Addis and Will Matthews, who formerly, among other things, co-developed Netflix's 2019 Dark Crystal series Age of Resistance. The show was also executive produced by, among others, the Duffer Brothers of Stranger Things Fame. All eight episodes dropped on Netflix May 21st. We may talk about events from any of them. Let's do the Chen check-in. Devindra, should our listeners watch the Burrows?
Devindra
03:09
Yes, it's great. Mainly mainly for this cast. What a cast. I love Alfred Molina, but having him hang out and uh smoke weed with Clark Peters, Alfred Witard is always great to see. As always, Gina Davis, stunning stunning i in her older years too. So it's just I love seeing this cast hang out with each other. I will say the supernatural parts of the show are probably the weakest because I don't CG monsters are not scary, folks. Like I I don't know. I I t I tapped out of Stranger Things after two seasons. That whole idea of the big scary CG monster. I don't care. Give me X Files. Give me like um mysterious monsters. Give me things you halfway see. Beyond that, the cast is amazing and this setting is great.
Dave
03:47
Mm-hmm.
Devindra
03:48
It is it's fantastic.
Dave
03:50
We're gonna let you get away with that very long Chen check-in because you know David Chen. That's the only reason why.
Devindra
03:54
Yes.
Tara
03:56
Sarah
Sarah
03:58
No thanks
Tara
03:59
Dave
Dave
04:00
I am sort of with DeVendra on the cast part of it, and I felt like that carried me through
Sarah
04:04
Sure.
Dave
04:05
which was otherwise a little overstuffed.
Sarah
04:09
Mm-hmm.
Tara
04:10
Well, we did watch all of it, but my feeling about it is roughly a a paraphrase of Ronnie from Frisky Dingo
Clip
04:17
Hey, come on! Thank you, Ronnie! It's complicated enough without all this evil twin bullsh having You know what? That is actually that's a pretty good point
Tara
04:27
Too complicated, I felt.
Dave
04:30
Well, but
Tara
04:30
Let's
Dave
04:30
okay, so can I speak to the complication? Because this was my big problem with the show, and I agree with Davindra, like
Tara
04:33
Sure.
Dave
04:36
the cast makes the show extremely watchable and edible.
Tara
04:39
For sure
Sarah
04:40
Hundred
Dave
04:40
And it does fall apart at the end, even with that, but
Sarah
04:40
percent
Dave
04:45
this is basically a vampire story Twilight's here, old people. Here we go, and we're all thinking about death and here is this vampire setup. Except it's not a vampire. There's these monsters and there's brain sucking and there's all this sort of stuff. So it is like vampire story plus plus plus plus. And it's all these pluses that sort of like weigh down what could have been, I think, a more streamlined compelling season of television. It's novel until it starts stacking and stacking, and then it's like, oh, okay, you gotta start. Like, it's a vampire standing in front of the mirror, and tragically, he can't see himself in the mirror, so he doesn't know the four things he should take off.
Sarah
05:24
Yes, that is very well put.
Tara
05:27
DeVinger, do you agree with this critique?
Devindra
05:30
Well, I I did not get all the way to the end, but based on the first few episodes, I'm just saying I'm really I'm really digging this, I'm really vibing with it, mainly because I love these people. These people are great, the banter is great. There's a s scene of all of them by the campfire just comparing their surgery scars. Like there is I I think like uh humanity given to older folks that we don't typically see on TV.
Tara
05:49
Mm-hmm.
Devindra
05:49
And I remember visiting my grandmother in an old folks home and it was not great I I felt very sad about that whole setup. So what this show is kind of exploring in that respect is really interesting. I I have not finished it, so I don't know where it's gonna be going, but describing his vampire story is kinda like Midnight Mass is right there. You know, it's right there on the same service
Tara
06:06
Yeah.
Devindra
06:08
doing a really interesting new vampire story. Why even try that?
Dave
06:11
Yeah.
Tara
06:12
Right.
Dave
06:12
One of the things I did enjoy about the cast working together and being retirement home age is that there were no rapping grandmas in this series.
Tara
06:20
Not in the main cast. You see s rapping gram attendencies at like the Pilates class or what have you.
Dave
06:25
Right, but not as a driving force
Tara
06:28
Mm-hmm.
Dave
06:28
far away from Cocoon and cocoon the return
Tara
06:31
Right.
Dave
06:32
that I didn't get those vibes where it's like, all right, we can do it. Let's put it on the fedoras. And it's like, you know, this is like that Simpsons commercial for Buzz Cola.
Tara
06:39
Right.
Dave
06:39
It's like, I don't need that. And this isn't that. And I did appreciate
Tara
06:42
Mm-hmm.
Dave
06:43
appreciate that.
Tara
06:43
Yeah. Well part of the premise of stories where kids stumble onto a supernatural infestation, let's say is that the adults in their lives don't believe them, is a story where seniors are similarly disbelieved by the adults in their lives. The logical next evolution of this trope are kind of condescending. Sarah, you were a no on the show, so what do you think?
Sarah
07:04
Yeah, I thought that that tension was actually enough
Tara
07:08
Mm-hmm.
Sarah
07:08
and should have been able to sort of carry it. I'll give them credit for immediately showing us a monster. But it's like if you start at a Stranger Things Times man on the inside place, like I'm into it.
Dave
07:23
Man on the inside out.
Tara
07:25
Yeah.
Sarah
07:26
Sure.
Dave
07:26
Thanks.
Sarah
07:27
Um and the cast is really excellent and I do like a recent trend in at least prestige side TV of not just assuming that everyone over the age of forty-five is rapidly turning into fossil fuel and has no plot left. But I just I don't know. I I would have wanted to keep going more and liked it better if I hadn't seen the creature, because I just feel like there was like a strong black mirror, sci-fi, uh like Yeah, the potential of the unreliable narrator at the other end of the actuarial table, I guess.
Devindra
08:01
Mm-hmm.
Sarah
08:05
So much potential just with that and then it's the thing from the descent and I was like oh now I gotta go rewatch the descent which I would rather Kind of do, then keep going with this. I am not trying to talk anyone out of watching it. Just for me, it was like the thing that they should have taken off had already suctioned itself onto my face, and it was too late. Yes, Dave
Dave
08:29
Did it feel to you that this was more of an Apple TV show than a Netflix show? It had that kind of vibe to it to me where it was like, look how expensive this is, and here is our sci-fi
Sarah
08:39
Mm-hmm.
Dave
08:41
concept, you know, maybe we're gonna nail it, but probably not quite, which is sort of like what we say a lot about Apple TV shows.
Tara
08:47
Yeah, but constellation and dark matter and blah blah blah blah blah.
Sarah
08:48
Mm-hmm.
Dave
08:50
Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Tara
08:52
Yeah
Sarah
08:53
Yeah
Dave
08:53
In the first episode, Sam, the lead character of Alfred Molina, is visited by Jack, played by Bill Pullman. Bill Pullman just barges into his house. He's still unpacking, has some brews with him, and just like ignoring any social cues that he doesn't he's not welcome here. That is probably my biggest personal nightmare.
Tara
09:14
I thought that while we were watching it.
Dave
09:16
Somebody coming into my home with alcohol trying to be my friend when I want nothing but solitude.
Tara
09:22
Mm-hmm.
Dave
09:23
It was it was terrible.
Sarah
09:23
Yeah.
Dave
09:24
It was harrowing. It might have been the most harrowing part of this whole horror show
Devindra
09:26
It's rough moving into a new place. Yeah.
Dave
09:28
Yeah.
Devindra
09:29
I've had that happen to me when I moved down to Georgia. It is weird because I don't know if I want to be your friend. I don't know you.
Dave
09:33
Yeah.
Devindra
09:33
Get out of my house.
Dave
09:34
Yeah, we're lucky to have pretty good neighbors here, but there's been times where you're like, uh-oh. Do we I guess we live next to a mob family. That's happened to us.
Tara
09:43
That's a different sci-fi show that we will not be pitching around.
Dave
09:45
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Tara
09:47
Divindry, you were nodding with with Sarah, you agree about the monster
Devindra
09:50
I re uh CG monsters are not scary. There is nothing scary. There is zero scariness. seeing a weird CG creature on screen. Uh I just got out of watching The Mandalorian and Grogu as well. It's a
Tara
10:01
Mm-hmm.
Devindra
10:01
it's a movie. This is again hero versus CG creatures. There's no tension there. It's not that interesting. We know how to do this. The X-Files did this with like not much I mean, I I think of like tombs, I think of like all the all the weirdo creatures in the X-Files where it's often hidden. It's not like even like a huge special effects budget sometimes.
Dave
10:20
Yeah.
Devindra
10:21
It's just What's implied is scarier than showing me the thing. And if you show me the thing it's not that interesting or scary, then you better be bringing it with the rest of the show for me to really care. Thankfully these actors like made it worth it, but yeah, I didn't care. And that's Same thing with Stranger Things. It's just not that interesting.
Dave
10:36
Yeah.
Tara
10:37
No one has retained the lessons of Starship Troopers, which is the more angular they look, the better they will age, you know?
Sarah
10:45
Mm
Devindra
10:45
For sure.
Dave
10:45
Yes, I'm naming this one
Sarah
10:47
-hmm.
Dave
10:47
Polygon.
Tara
10:47
Don't give it a face. That's gonna be your downfall.
Dave
10:50
Hmm.
Devindra
10:50
And also a lot of those were practical in in the movie Star Street Troopers.
Dave
10:53
Yep.
Devindra
10:54
They had a lot of great practical effects.
Dave
10:55
God, that movie's so good.
Devindra
10:55
And that blend is what you need.
Tara
10:57
Yeah.
Devindra
10:57
Yeah.
Tara
10:57
It is
Dave
10:58
Let's go watch Storks
Sarah
10:58
Yeah
Tara
10:58
so good.
Dave
10:59
and Troopers.
Devindra
10:59
Yeah, let's go.
Tara
11:01
Okay.
Dave
11:01
I put pointy series and I say we watch it all.
Tara
11:04
So we've been watching a lot of shows lately ish where, you know, something strange is happening and it community like the Burbs and Widows Bay, which like I think this is better than the Burbs, not as good as Widows Bay. Widows Bay is more ambitious. It's a different thing every episode. sort of under the umbrella of one weird place. The other comp for this, in addition to Man on the Inside for me, was Thursday Murder Club.
Sarah
11:28
Mm-hmm
Tara
11:28
And so let me pitch this as an alternate of how this show could have gone. Monster hunt is a stealth activity for a certain type of resident who doesn't want to golf or play pickleball. And there is there really a monster? No, but there can't really be a hunt.
Dave
11:45
Wow
Tara
11:45
That that would be like the black mirror twist on it where it's like there isn't actually anything here.
Dave
11:49
Yeah.
Tara
11:49
This is just to keep you occupied.
Dave
11:51
Senior snipe hunt.
Tara
11:52
Yeah.
Devindra
11:52
The village.
Dave
11:53
Yeah.
Devindra
11:53
It's the village, basically.
Tara
11:54
Yeah.
Devindra
11:55
Yeah.
Dave
11:55
That's
Sarah
11:56
Yeah.
Dave
11:56
kinda great.
Sarah
11:58
Yeah. I liked that they sort of incorporated that idea for like the memory care patients.
Tara
12:03
Yeah
Sarah
12:03
They're just like replicating life. Like this is how they do it in Scandinavia, I think, in senior communities like that. Like there is a bus stop and you could just go and wait there and you will be safe and maybe even take the bus. Somewhere short and within the community, but you could have a different version of the monster hunt. But that was sort of the most compelling part in the first couple episodes for me is Ed Begley Jr. 's character being like, Can I come home? I mean
Devindra
12:30
Uh-huh.
Sarah
12:30
that, you know, I have an aging parent that
Tara
12:30
Yeah.
Sarah
12:33
sort of hit me when he's like in the hospital. He's like, Sarah, come get me. I'm like, I can't. You're hooked up to stuff You gotta get better first and then I'll do it. But there is definitely that like unreliable narrator thing with older folks who are in the hospital that it's just like What is actually happening? What percentage of this is happening?
Tara
12:54
Right.
Sarah
12:54
What timeline are can I map onto to answer questions And that's just me and things I've been going through with my family in the lacks last six months, but that part I thought was interesting enough, especially with this cast. And then there's creepy, sticky spider guy. And it's like, oh, well, now I now I don't care as much
Tara
13:18
Yeah. We talked a bit about the cast up top. Here's where we marvel how good everyone looks. For how old they are. Gina Davis, 70. Alfred Molina and Alfrey Wood are both 73. Alfrey Woodard looks like she could walk back into St. Elsewhere. Like she just looks the same to me.
Sarah
13:34
Mm-hmm.
Tara
13:35
Clark Peters is 76 and as I was watching him in one of the scenes I was like, he was already the old guy when he was making dollhouse furniture on the wire, and that was like twenty years ago
Sarah
13:44
Yeah.
Tara
13:46
when he was our age now.
Sarah
13:48
Uh-huh.
Tara
13:48
That was
Sarah
13:48
Yeah
Tara
13:49
that was a rough one to realize.
Sarah
13:51
In, I mean, t styling. He was wearing the like crossover sweater vest and half glasses from the drugstore, and also dollhouse furniture.
Tara
13:59
Mm-hmm, yeah, mm-hmm
Sarah
14:01
Like it it ages a character.
Dave
14:03
Yeah. I also like Dennis O'Hara a lot.
Tara
14:05
Yes, he was good and he is the baby of the group. He's says at one point his character is sixty two. O'Hara 's sixty four. So Shout out to Renee, Gina Davis' character, for giving an alternate term to body count with back catalog. This came up on a recent Dawson's Creek
Dave
14:20
That was
Sarah
14:20
Yes.
Dave
14:21
good.
Tara
14:21
episode. I was like, I hate body count too.
Dave
14:23
Yeah.
Tara
14:24
That's pretty good. I
Sarah
14:25
Mm-hmm.
Tara
14:25
I'm gonna steal that.
Dave
14:25
Yeah
Sarah
14:26
Yep.
Tara
14:27
How do we suppose the idol from Raiders of the Last Ark ended up in Edward's storage unit?
Dave
14:31
Yeah
Tara
14:31
And why doesn't Sam just sell it and move to a nicer retirement community, Dave?
Dave
14:36
Yeah, I don't know the answer to that, but the thing I found interesting after seeing that is there were audio cues that really sounded like when they're spelunking around the temple at the start of the Rays of the Lost Art.
Sarah
14:48
Mm
Dave
14:48
Like
Sarah
14:48
-hmm
Dave
14:49
There is no big giant John Williams -esque themes in this show, but the incidental part of it were very reminiscent of those quieter moments in Rays of Lost Ark and Star Wars and stuff like that. And I really did appreciate that part of it because you don't get that a lot anymore. You usually get either just one note for eight seconds law and order synthesizer soundtracks or you just get just sort of this like
Sarah
15:11
The Inception Brahm, yep.
Dave
15:13
Yeah, yeah, the Brahms, yes.
Sarah
15:14
They're still doing that.
Dave
15:16
Exactly. So I did appreciate that quite a bit. I mean the guy is still in South America with like seven spikes through his head and chest, so I don't know how that got there. I mean it could have been like a um repatriation. Maybe his family ended up owning the uh Peruvian museum where it got back to, and then like, you know, some shady
Tara
15:34
Mm-hmm.
Dave
15:36
grandfather of his brought it back, but Uh, you know, usually those Easter eggs were like, huh, huh? Where it's like center frame, don't do it for me. But I wasn't really expecting it in this show, so it was fine.
Tara
15:46
No, it's cute
Dave
15:47
It was cute. And they did like not just for him too. There's a thumb and Louise bit for Gina Davis.
Sarah
15:52
Mm-hmm.
Dave
15:53
So, you know, everybody got their
Devindra
15:53
Oh
Tara
15:54
And D
Dave
15:54
due.
Tara
15:54
Wallace Stone with, you know, has her ET moment as well in the cold open.
Dave
15:57
Right.
Tara
15:59
So yeah, it's not terrible. And I will give it credit too
Sarah
16:01
Oh no.
Tara
16:02
for It doesn't do the Netflix thing where it's constantly renarrating shit from the same episode that you
Sarah
16:08
Mm hmm.
Tara
16:09
are watching.
Dave
16:09
Yeah
Tara
16:10
It was less retelly than I've seen lately.
Dave
16:12
There was one scene that was obviously a Netflix network note that I was like, come
Devindra
16:13
Mm-hmm.
Dave
16:18
on, guys. And it was the scene where one character explains for like a good 20 seconds. the story of the boy who cried
Tara
16:25
Oh, that was shocking.
Dave
16:25
wolf to another one. Like it's not like um one of the characters was a kid or something like these are grown adults talking to each other. And I was like, okay, I know the Netflix audience skews younger, but come on.
Tara
16:37
Yeah.
Sarah
16:38
Yeah, no
Dave
16:38
All right, two more things before we wrap up. Questions for everybody on the uh panel here today. One, how would you deco your icon golf cart? Everybody in this show has a golf cart in the garage. They drive around the boroughs. Sam arrives. His son-in-law has given him a 70s flame
Tara
16:56
Like a hot wheels.
Dave
16:57
the Hot Wheels car version of it.
Tara
16:58
Yep. Mm-hmm.
Dave
16:59
But what do you guys want on yours?
Tara
17:01
Wonderbred spots, like in um
Dave
17:03
Yeah.
Tara
17:03
Taladega
Devindra
17:03
Oh
Sarah
17:04
Oh
Devindra
17:04
,
Tara
17:04
Knights
Sarah
17:04
cute.
Devindra
17:06
That'd be beautiful.
Sarah
17:06
The girl who went to high school did what that on her giant inherited station wagon.
Tara
17:10
Oh
Sarah
17:10
That's a
Tara
17:10
nice
Sarah
17:11
That's a good idea.
Dave
17:12
I mean Sarah, I I think you're probably really happy with the gold cart because you like them tiny cars.
Sarah
17:17
I do.
Dave
17:17
Yeah.
Sarah
17:17
I do. I think I would just get a candy apple red and then a personalized license plate.
Dave
17:22
Mm. Okay, all right.
Devindra
17:23
That's lovely.
Dave
17:24
Devendro, what what do you want?
Devindra
17:25
Wallpaper it with uh with bumper stickers because I don't have bumper stickers on my normal cars. They're ugly, they they just like they hurt the paint and whatever.
Dave
17:32
Yeah
Devindra
17:33
Golf cart's like whatever. Hey, by the way, let's not make fun of it. We should all, if if you live in a suburban area, it'd be great if you could get a golf cart and use that to go to the store or whatever. Uh down in Georgia, there are some some towns here where like they have golf cart networks and that's that's an electric car that keeps you know you from burning more gas.
Sarah
17:50
Uh-huh.
Devindra
17:51
It's a good thing. So yeah, give me give me the bumper sticker
Tara
17:52
Mm -hmm.
Devindra
17:53
golf cart.
Dave
17:54
He loves the earth. I've seen a couple uh golf carts around here actually driving up Shull
Devindra
17:58
Yeah.
Dave
17:59
Creek So they exist here as well. In smaller numbers. All right, last question. How bland do you think the Mexican food is at at a retirement home?
Sarah
18:08
Oh boy, yeah
Dave
18:09
Cause there is a giant sombrero-shaped Mexican restaurant
Tara
18:12
Mm-hmm.
Dave
18:13
in the middle of Town Square.
Tara
18:15
Yeah
Dave
18:15
And it would be nice to have lots of good restaurants in your Twilight Years, but I gotta believe. that Tex Mex or wherever they're serving their their southwest Mexican isn't so great.
Tara
18:24
Yeah, it's watered down
Sarah
18:25
No.
Tara
18:25
mild paste picante salsa.
Devindra
18:28
Exactly.
Sarah
18:28
Yeah, not even. It's just like tomato like chopped tomatoes
Tara
18:32
Could be
Sarah
18:33
from the can.
Devindra
18:34
I would say I used to get Mexican food in my college in western Massachusetts and western Massachusetts trying to do good Mexican food. Doesn't work. Doesn't it it does not work.
Sarah
18:41
No, no, no
Devindra
18:43
So I'd imagine just bland nothing rice flavor like that. Yeah.
Dave
18:46
But they love it.
Tara
18:48
Mm-hmm
Devindra
18:48
Mm-hmm.
Clip
18:53
Got a lot of shows. It's a great time for shows
Dave
18:58
Alright everybody, it's time for around the dial where we bring something we've been watching on TV recently. First up, Tara.
Tara
19:04
Yes, I watched Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed. This is Apple TV's newest dramedy premiered last Wednesday. Tatiana Maslani, I don't know her, but I do think of her as a sister because she is also from Regina, plays a magazine fact checked named Paula. She's also a single mother to a pre-tweenage daughter named Hazel. She and Hazel's dad, Carl, who is played by Jake Johnson, are in the middle of sorting out their custody arrangement because Carl has been remarried to a woman named Mallory, played by Jesse Hodges, and they want to move from New York City to Boise so that Mallory can accept a big promotion. Seems like it would be the other way around, but whatever. So Paula already has a lot going on before Trevor Brandon Flynn, the cam boy that she has an ongoing internet relationship with gets attacked on camera during one of their sessions Paula records the attack with her camera and brings it to a police detective named Sophia. This is Dolly De Leon from Triangle of Sadness Sophia tells her the attack is probably fake in the first stage of a scam to get money out of Paula. Is it real? Is it a scam or is the truth Somewhere in between. Hmm. This is a show Sarah you would like because when Paula gets frustrated by the police making assumptions and dragging their feet, she uses her fact-checking skills to analyze the video that she takes and get a lot further.
Sarah
20:13
Okay
Tara
20:21
investigating than the cops care to, at least at first.
Sarah
20:24
Process, yes
Tara
20:25
Exactly. Also in the mix are Charlie Hall and Kiara Hamagami Goldberg as Paula's fact checking colleagues, who also happily let themselves get drawn into Paula's drama. and Murray Bartlett as an associate of Trevor's. If it sounds like the kind of idea that would make a better movie than a series, I thought that as well, but then I've continued to watch. I've watched the whole season. It earns its size and scope with a lot of unpredictable twists.
Dave
20:49
How far back in the past does this take place?
Tara
20:52
In the it's current.
Dave
20:54
So what you're telling me is a current show about a magazine fact checker?
Tara
20:58
I know
Sarah
21:00
Oh, oh Canada.
Tara
21:01
I did spend the whole season like waiting for her to get laid off, which spoiler, does not happen. So but that was like more traumatic to me than any of the many uh murders that happen
Dave
21:12
Right.
Tara
21:12
over the course of ten
Dave
21:12
Sure.
Tara
21:13
episodes.
Dave
21:14
Yeah.
Tara
21:14
I will have a piece about this at Speaking of Magazines GQ later this week. Will it be fact-checked? I don't know. Not my business. For now, I will plug the last thing I wrote for GQ. Which is a review of the final episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and we will link that in the show notes.
Dave
21:31
All right, Devindra, what have you been watching on TV recently?
Devindra
21:34
I've been watching a lot of animaniacs because uh Apple TV had the deal whole season or the whole series for like 20 bucks. Like hell yeah. I gotta get the kids in on the good stuff. So enough of this like uh modern cartoon stuff. And my daughter is seven now and she's ready. She's ready for a little wacky cartoon action, and it totally holds up. Like this show is so good. I've forgotten like how musical it is, how just like energetic and smart the writing is. There's some stuff that I feel like, you know, they they always lean into like mature jokes and like my daughter has no idea what's going on, so it's totally fine. That was kind of the magic of Animaniacs. It's still good. The characters are great. And um my son, who's four years old, is also really into it as well. So we're slowly going through it, and it's just like it's pure gold. Like it's pure gold. It has such a different energy than modern cartoons. I was I grew up watching Animaniacs, so this was a show. It feels like it it feels good to see something maintain its like quality level even over time. So yeah, I'm loving it.
Dave
22:31
Mm-hmm.
Sarah
22:31
Mm-hmm.
Tara
22:32
That's nice to hear.
Dave
22:33
First thing I always think about when somebody says Animatiacs is the fingerprints joke that I can't believe they put it in the show. Jesus Christ. It's just uh
Devindra
22:41
Yep
Dave
22:42
how they got that one through, I'm just like, all right, good on you guys.
Devindra
22:45
Good.
Dave
22:45
Well done. If you don't know what I'm talking about, just uh Google that.
Devindra
22:45
Good job. They got away with so many things in 90s cartoons, and that was like my era as a kid and as like a young teen, and like it was perfect. And I guess that that relates to Aquaine Hunger Force too.
Dave
22:56
Yeah. It was a good show. I watched it and I was you know, I'm probably ten I got ten years on you, at least I'm gonna guess.
Devindra
23:00
Mm-hmm.
Dave
23:01
I still watched it. It was just a really funny show.
Devindra
23:03
So good.
Dave
23:04
So Davindra, I listened to you on the Engadget podcast. By the way, I'm just gonna say this is going back a couple months now, but there's no reason why you shouldn't use your AirPods
Devindra
23:08
Yeah
Dave
23:14
Pro and nod and do that in public because the you have to do it a few times before it activates, so you're not gonna do it accidentally.
Devindra
23:20
Listen
Dave
23:21
It's just my that's my tech tip for you
Devindra
23:23
That may be a thing to try. Yeah. It's like I I'm not a fan of like any automatic gesture recognition things because they go bad. Like it may work 80% of the time, but that one time it goes bad makes your life help.
Dave
23:33
Mm-hmm.
Devindra
23:33
Yeah.
Dave
23:34
But uh where can people find you? We got the Engagit podcast. What else you got out there?
Devindra
23:38
Yeah, and at the Slash Filmcast, but uh over at the Engage Podcast, I just want to say we had a great episode with uh the founder, CE Critic. We talked about all that new TV technology, so your audience may be into that, because there are RGB TVs out now, and OLED has gotten really cheap. I just got a 77-inch OLED TV for like $1,500. It's insane out there.
Sarah
23:58
My
Devindra
23:58
So
Sarah
23:58
God.
Devindra
23:58
Listen to that episode.
Sarah
23:59
I don't think I have a wall that big.
Devindra
24:00
Big ass TVs. Yeah, big ass TVs are cheaper. And OLED, my beautiful, beautiful OLED that I've discussed for like 10 years, it still kicks ass. So that's, you know, check out that episode for more info and all that.
Tara
24:12
All right.
Devindra
24:12
Yep.
Sarah
24:12
Yeah
Dave
24:14
Cerber D Bunting, what do you
Sarah
24:16
I've got Gary, which is a standalone and a question mark
Dave
24:16
got?
Sarah
24:20
episode of the bear. It dropped a couple weeks ago now. It took me a while to get around to it and um the sense I'm getting. from other TV watchers who are sort of like, oh, let's just get this last season of the Bear over with, is that everyone's just like got it in the to-watch queue. Anyway, this is um about Richie and Mikey, Dog Day Afternoon on Broadway Castmates, Evan Moss Backrack and Sean Bernthal, respectively, doing a McGuffany errand for Jimmy in Gary, Indiana. And I don't know, man, like this is the same conflict that I'm still having with the show overall. Rishi is my favorite character. Both of these actors, along with Guestar Marn Ireland, are great here. I have a higher tolerance than many for the Bears. Let's resubmit character facts already in evidence. Bart Huffing. But that tolerance is not infinite. The fact is that we already know Mikey struggled not only with his mother's disease, but with likely having inherited some version on it Even within the Gary episode, there's the self-destructively hateful interaction that caps the action in the bar, but even that is repeating not only a pickup basketball scene from earlier that did the same work more subtly And was in any case doing the same work that Fishes did two seasons ago. Sorry, Dave, for the trigger mention. So as well as it's acted by Bernthal as searingly as he conveys the characters knowing that he's being cruel, but also unable to stop himself, thanks to cocaine, whiskey, and self loathing We already have all this information and we have had it for years. Plural. We do already know Mikey was both a magnetic personality and very difficult to spend extended time with. We do already know that in the present his family's reverence for him is fraught. We understood without the interstitials of literal scorched literal earth What is happening here? As so often happens, the bear is very good at creating world and mood via character, and it knows its own strengths, but then doesn't seem to understand how to proportion them And it's not that nothing happens in the hour. I don't need everything to be a plot machine. In any case, but I did already comprehend this situation perfectly well. Already every person on earth has known and loved and mourned assholes. This could have been half the length for my plug. The crash, uh recent high profile documentary at Netflix. Everyone was talking about it. I think it's still sitting close to number one on the movies list on Netflix. I reviewed it at my true crime review blog. Bestevidence, bestevidence. fyi. We will link it in the show notes and confidential to Ambrose. Got your note. We're working on it.
Dave
27:11
I want to do a quick drunk Dave episode follow-up. What happened after I immediately stopped the call as soon as the last note of the end clip was done. Zoom call over. I would do what I would call the orangutan run to the bed where I'm like arms out hunched over to like re-establish a lower center of gravity because that's the only way I could get there.
Sarah
27:31
Mm-hmm.
Dave
27:33
And then I flopped on the bed And Tara took a picture. You can see it somewhere in the internet, I'm sure.
Tara
27:38
I also looked after him, but I took a picture as well.
Dave
27:42
I don't know who is more con I think the dogs were more concerned than you were, frankly. But anyways.
Tara
27:47
The dogs haven't been through this before, I have.
Dave
27:51
Very happy I successfully got on the bed and then about thirty seconds later I'm like I gotta get off the bed and get to the bathroom so I was doing the old orangutan walked to the bathroom, immediately threw up. It was terrible. This is the first time that's happened. I mean I say the first time.
Tara
28:04
That's you
Dave
28:04
This is the third time we've ever I I do one of these about every Five years and I think this is gonna be the last one because everybody who suggested alcohol this and alcohol that, nobody suggested just stick with what you had before, prosecco and orange juice.
Tara
28:17
Yeah.
Dave
28:19
That was the way to go here because These fucking Moscow mules just destroyed me. It made me feel terrible for like all 36 hours later. So that was my journey after the fact.
Tara
28:29
Bam
Dave
28:29
But The actual episode was super fun to do. Thank you, everybody showed up. It filled up super fast, way faster than I was expecting.
Sarah
28:36
Mm-hmm.
Dave
28:38
We only had a hundred
Sarah
28:39
You remember that it was fun to do or you were
Dave
28:39
seats, but
Sarah
28:41
I mean you were not told by Tara that it was fun because I don't think she thought it was.
Dave
28:44
I
Tara
28:44
He
Dave
28:44
I remember the first third was fun to do.
Tara
28:44
well, he
Dave
28:46
After that it gets a little bit fuzzy.
Tara
28:48
He had to edit it.
Sarah
28:49
Did you also did you also record the chat? Because that was some extra gold.
Dave
28:54
Oh, I didn't even think of that, but it's probably in Zoom, I'm gonna guess.
Sarah
28:55
Yeah.
Dave
28:58
I think they saved that.
Sarah
28:58
Like the Dave Burp analysis happening in various threads was very good and accurate, as it turns out.
Dave
29:04
Okay. Yeah, so we ate some toasts and mac and cheese after, eventually I think this is This is me finally being completely sober again. So anyways, thank you to everybody who showed up. I think everybody had fun. Thank you for all our judges. We did six tiny cannons in a row. A little less cogent at the end, I'm gonna guess. But um I had fun. I hope you had fun, and it's never gonna happen again, so I hope you'd enjoy it. So here's what's coming up on Extra Extra Hot Great this Friday. We're gonna be talking about the Marvel series Spider Noir. black and white Nick Cage vehicle.
Tara
29:38
The Sony Marvel series.
Dave
29:40
Yes, that's right. The not quite Marvel Marvel universe. Talk about it briefly on our summer TV roundup show, but we'll get into it more depth. And then we want you to come back next week. We're going to be welcoming new guest, Sophie Brookover, to talk about Star City, the for all mankind sequel series. We'll see you then.
Tara
30:01
Space show, but with a Russian accent.
Dave
30:03
Yeah.
Clip
30:05
You're friends with an old person? Yes. I cut everyone off at 40. After that you're dead meat. That's why I'm the master. Shake? What? I don't see you lining up to see old people? Well that's only because it smelled awful. I mean I would go if the people were younger and didn't reek of fluids.
Dave
30:24
It is time for the canon and like the lead topic. My canon pitch this week is a story of time coming for all of us. This episode is a poignant examination of society's discomfort dealing with the old and infirm, full of real truths that can lead to serious self-reflection. This is Aqua Teen Hunger Force's series conclusion to the trilogy featuring MCP Pants, a rapping demon who takes many forms but always sports yellow and red eyes, a shower cap, and a diaper. We first met him as MCBance
Clip
30:58
Okay, a couple of years ago you were a six-foot-tall spider. They wanted us to help you. Drill a hole into the earth, to unleash demons to run your global diet pill pyramid scheme.
Dave
31:08
And then as Sir Loin
Clip
31:10
Alright, what about this one? A year later, you were a cow. They tried to get us to bring all our garbage to you so you could use flies to evaporate the walls of a bank. So you could get the money and uh uh So you could get the money to rent patio furniture that you hadn't paid for yet.
Dave
31:23
And then at the start of this episode, season three, episode six, Little Brittle Frylock, that's the guy that looks like a giant order of fries, has the suspicion that Meat Wad, that is the childlike wad of meat, has got sucked into a new incarnation of this rapping demon.
Clip
31:40
Please come visit me do back in 1912 I can kick your ass I did the tango and the fock trap before it got banned There was rap time and jets before the ever was wrapped Now I'm trapped with the collapse Oh no. Oh hell no. We are not doing this again. No way. This is MCP pants, isn't it? Isn't it? No. Okay, fine. Sirloin, right? No. Okay, well who is it then? Will you just tell me who he is, cause I'm not gonna look at your poster. You see, the little brittle and the sea bag. And he's clicking it.
Dave
32:15
So the song you heard there was Please Come Visit Me, Dog, and the album cover features a decrepit old man in a blinged-out wheelchair and oxygen tank supporting a diaper, and a shower cap sitting over his yellow and red eyes. Meatwat adds some detail that starts to break down Freiloch's suspicious defenses.
Clip
32:34
So I gotta live a spot bigger than Dalmatian Dads, I'm all alone. Won't you please come visit me dog I got He just wants friends. He's old and lonely. Well, we'll just see about that. Where's he located? Six one two Wharf Avenue, right? No. His son moved him to Tragic Castles, 'cause he's driving away to no marriage, pooping and wandering off and messing up the shower. Damn.
Dave
32:56
But wait, wait, guys, it gets sadder
Clip
32:58
I mean they have nurses, don't they? Yeah, but they don't go in there no more, because she spits on 'em and calls them harlots and barks at them to to get nude. Oh man I hope we never end up like that, honeywat. I won't. You will
Dave
33:14
So they go to Tragic Castle's retirement home. Frylock is tagging along, half out of suspicion, half out of pity at this point in time. But Miwot, never meet your heroes. Miwat immediately has regrets about going to visit little Brittle at the home. But like a parent forcing their child to say hello to their weird grandpa, we get this.
Clip
33:37
Go on, meat one. He's happy to see you. He wants you to hug him, see? I don't want to. Oh, homie! Why you gotta play me like that? Give him a hug, mewad. Explore my emotional doodle.
Dave
33:52
So this the script flip of this iteration of the M C P Pan saga Is that MCP pants here, Little Brittle, genuinely has no idea what's going on or who his visitors are, much to Freilock surprise Like, where is Satan's master plan for MCP pants here? Seems to be nowhere. We're not engaging in that. This guy just seems like his lights are half off. Convinced that little Brittle is creepy but harmless, Frylock leaves and Miwad tries to make small talk with him.
Clip
34:23
You uh you gonna put on any more gems? No no man, my my label dropped me. They said that songs like Uh oh Polio didn't connect with today's view. Yeah Officer, you slept through a lot of songs, right?
Dave
34:36
It's not all bad news, though.
Clip
34:38
Today's Apple Sauce Day! Applesauce Day, dog!
Dave
34:42
Welcome to the sailport. And then in I'm gonna say the best visual moment of the episode, Frylock returns. to see Meatwod curled around Little Brittle's squishy neck, softly gnawing on it with his one big tooth. Little Brittle thinks Meatwad must be a vampire, which really confuses Frilock
Clip
35:04
Why would you even think he's a vampire? Why the hell do you think I released come visit me dog in Transylvania, yo? That was an important I paid extra for that. See, I released it in Transylvania, so vampires would come and visit me and I could get them to bite into my neck and then I could become immortal. Why the hell do you think I made myself look so sexy on the cover? I knew it. I knew some boo was up with you. I knew it. Look yo, Brill needs to live forever. Otherwise I go down to hell. And Satan sent me back here, something worse. He's got all these ideas. He don't tell me none of them. Why don't you just become a Christian? Well, that way when you die, you go to heaven. Away from bad old Satan Can I do that? I mean I ain't cool with vampires because I got to feast on blood. That's how I roll! Look, you can't be both. Either become one or the other, and the other, which is a vampire, is impossible. Well then I guess I'm a Christian. Oh yeah, bringing in the sheaves, y'all. Who knew I had it in me? I did. Now kill me, quick! We're not gonna kill you. The moral thing to do is to let you die naturally, alone, in a pile of your own film.
Dave
36:09
So uh Then um the doors burst open, and a flying and rotating coffin comes into the room and is Dracula, Little Brittle's number one fan to Little Brittle's rescue.
Clip
36:25
Little Britt! No way! Do do I know you? Oh my gosh, I so love your record. You're so cool! Well racket!
Dave
36:37
So Dracula makes little Brittle a vampire. The plan has worked. He has escaped Satan's clutches finally. Until about three seconds later he walks outside into the sun and explodes. And then Dracula races outside to make sure that little Brittle knows not to go out the sun, and then he explodes the end. Except I want to play you out on the end credits bit of please come visit me, dog. Here it is.
Clip
37:01
Please come visit me door residue with many who are about to die and it from the tragic castles which I now reside Come before seven That's when they close the blinds from me down I suck applesauce. Do a bendy straw. When I poop, all the nurses come in applaud. I used to slap a
Dave
37:19
So these are the things where I say, like this is a very honest betrayal of aging and society's
Sarah
37:24
Mm-hmm.
Dave
37:25
willingness to turn a blind eye to things and the treatment of her elderly, I think like uh Agua Dean Ogaphoros is just like putting it on the line here, saying this is what it is, America. Are you ready to deal with it? So that's the episode. It's the Stoner cartoon with the most honest portrayal of how little anyone wants to care for old people, deal with old people, visit old people. or be old people. And I want to say, I didn't know when Deventer picked this that we're going to have two shows that deal with life-sucking spider creatures in the same episode. But here we are, it's a little bit of kismet on top of everything else. So there you have it, folks, a very opinionated Stoner comedy talking about the very real issues of elderly care.
Tara
38:12
Thank you, Dave. Devindra, you selected this, please. Uh start us off. What did you think of the episode of Dave's argument and uh so forth?
Devindra
38:21
I will say this was not always like one of my favorite Aqua Teen Hunger Force episodes. I love the show what it was on when I was in college. So I was like perfect. perfect setting, perfect time for me to be into this weird stoner comedy. I also, I live close to Atlanta now. Like should just visit um William Street and just like, I don't know, lay a candle there for all the joy they've given me over the years.
Tara
38:42
Mm-hmm.
Devindra
38:42
between this and Space Ghost and everything. Um that being said, my favorite episodes have always been like the Moonanites. Freaking love, the Moonanites, they are instantly hilarious to me. But Dave, your impassioned argument has really tipped me over on this episode. Like I th I think it's um there's a lot going on here. Like I didn't laugh as much as some of the other, you know, Aquaen Hunger Force episodes, but this is a special one. And it does conclude a multi-episode arc, which is something I always like. So yes, yes, put it in the canon.
Tara
39:07
Thank you. Sarah, why don't you go next?
Sarah
39:10
I enjoyed this a great deal. I would not have gone with a um even satirically serious um you know pitch for this, but uh it works for me I love that it's a fully realized rap performance, fully realized hip-hop experience, the collection of syllables metamuse. Amazing.
Tara
39:33
Mm-hmm.
Sarah
39:34
Immediate canon fodder as far as I'm concerned. I also liked just the little visual touches like There's a weird sort of like hybrid animation style where some of it is very Hanna Barbera-esque, some of it is very like weird CGI realist. And the blend, especially when it comes to Little Brittle and the ear hair, the teeth and a glass next to his bed, which I think is just like a photo that they dropped into those frames. And also the visible frylock. Anatomical poster is like suddenly my favorite thing ever, and I need to have it on a t
Tara
40:06
Yeah.
Sarah
40:08
shirt. Please note. That they colored to the absolute edges of the paper, I think, is a hallmark of this show which I'm not that familiar with, but They really like this was the premise and they just exploded the entire premise like a vampire on the porch of an all-day home.
Tara
40:26
Mm-hmm.
Sarah
40:26
And uh now they're done.
Tara
40:28
Yep.
Sarah
40:28
very enjoyable and very funny. And uh yeah, I won't, you will. I think
Tara
40:34
I know
Sarah
40:35
really is a pretty penetrating insight about how Some middle-aged people are just like, well, I mean, but I'll just like roll into traffic. I'm not gonna be this person. And then then uh things happen in your life. But yes, excellent presentation. Thank you, Dave.
Dave
40:50
Uh just two things that Sarah mentioned. One, the teeth in the jar that you mentioned are like sitting there and they seem to be just like a cuto from a clip art book or something like that.
Sarah
40:58
Mm-hmm.
Dave
40:59
that in the same scene Meatwad puts them on and they're the exact same orientation they were in the glass, just like they look like a stupid grin of gums and teeth on his mouth.
Tara
41:01
Put some in Yes.
Sarah
41:07
Oh, yeah, I forgot about that.
Dave
41:09
It was made me laugh out loud seeing it again.
Tara
41:11
Mm-hmm
Dave
41:12
And then um just worth mentioning, there is a very small amount of Munonites at the I didn't mention it, but at the cold open, there's a Moononite
Tara
41:17
In the cold open.
Devindra
41:19
Mm-hmm.
Tara
41:19
Yeah.
Devindra
41:19
Mm-hmm.
Dave
41:19
moment with a crank call.
Devindra
41:20
I got excited there for a second. It's like, oh, they're back. Yeah.
Tara
41:23
Yeah.
Dave
41:23
I have pitched a Moon and Night episode in the past, so yeah.
Tara
41:25
I think you have.
Devindra
41:26
Mm-hmm.
Dave
41:27
Alright, tar.
Tara
41:27
Yeah, this it truly does in eleven minutes what it took the Burroughs eight full episodes to do across its whole season. Like it really and and Sarah, coloring to the edge of the paper is so true. There is not a second that is not joke ridden of this.
Sarah
41:43
Mm-hmm
Tara
41:43
It's so economical and so pactful I mean I'm glad that you brought up the teeth because I was going to. Meadwhad hold with the with MCP Pan's teeth in his mouth is so cute. Really just in like a a wide shot of the three of them, not commented on. It's just you might not notice it if you weren't actually looking. Miwat is of course my favorite character, one of my favorite characters in probably all of TV. He is So cute, and nothing is cuter than him wrapped around little brittle shoulders with his one big tooth, like just the pain in his eyes, looking so distressed while he's been made to do this vampire task.
Dave
42:20
Yeah, he he's doing that, but the way the animated his neck seems like it's like pulled park
Tara
42:26
Yes.
Dave
42:26
It ha you know, if you stuck your finger in bullpark repeatedly, that is sort of like the animation going on here.
Sarah
42:29
Oh, yeah.
Tara
42:31
It's not great, but this episode is very funny. The rap is a great point too, Sarah, that it's it's I mean that it's little brittle and the Seabag is just another throwaway joke that's so good. All the lyrics are great.
Sarah
42:44
Oh God.
Tara
42:45
And then when he decides to become a Christian, bring it in the sheaves, y'all! Like it's just So funny. Dave, I think you made a great point. It is extremely hilarious in the course of making a very serious point about elder care that I think we all em uh took on today.
Dave
43:03
I gotta be honest with you. This was my m Mademoiselle Caroline style one. I was just like, this is not gonna get in because it's super opinionated in a stoner comedy, which is a hard sell to a lot of people, but Yeah, I pleases punch to find out we got uh it sounds like a three of three. We're gonna make it official in a second. Pretty happy about that. All right, Devendra, canon worthy or not.
Devindra
43:22
Yes.
Dave
43:23
Serity Bunty.
Sarah
43:24
Yes, dog
Dave
43:25
And Tar.
Tara
43:26
In honor of Sandy McTyre, who we call MCP pants when she grunts at us to be let outside. Yes.
Dave
43:33
All right, so That means Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Season 3, Episode 6, Little Brittle. You are hereby inducted into the Extra Hot Great cannon
Clip
43:53
Great Apple Sauce Day, Apple Sauce Day, dog. Americans love a winner. Yup. And will not tolerate a loser. Nope.
Dave
44:02
It is time for the winner and loser of the week to be revealed. Sarah has this week's winner.
Sarah
44:07
Uh speaking of old guys with ear hair because of the departed. Anyway, my winner is Ben Affleck, who will be narrating Hulu 's docuseries about Whitey Bulger. Three parter is slated for later this year. I that doesn't make me more or less likely to watch it, but I'm always hoping for that Whitey Bulger property that is not going to lull me into a um like black and white movie-esque torpor. There's just something about like I liked the departed and then there was the end with the rat, and after that my brain just slammed the door closed and locked it.
Dave
44:42
Yeah.
Sarah
44:43
on this topic, but I'll try to check it out. I think Bafleck might be a perfect pick for not just this, but Boston crime generally
Dave
44:53
All right, and who is our loser of the week
Tara
44:56
Well, speaking of non-Italian mobs, uh our loser of the week is Tom Hardy.
Dave
44:56
turn?
Tara
45:01
He is the lead in the show Mobland, which I believe we talked about on Extra Extra Hot Great.
Sarah
45:06
Oh , good old Mobland.
Tara
45:08
Mobland, also another alternate
Sarah
45:09
Sure.
Tara
45:11
pronunciation. He is fired ahead of the expected third season of the show. They've just finished shooting season two. only the first has come out, but he clashed with producers reportedly, specifically, would show up consistently late throughout season two and would show up and like change dialogue and fight with people, so That's a thing that can happen if you get fired from your own show? I mean, it does, rarely, but I'm surprised that he is not a producer on this. And if he is, and they still figured out a way to get rid of him, he must have been a huge problem,
Devindra
45:41
This wild.
Tara
45:45
so Way to go.
Devindra
45:47
Let's be fair, the show doesn't exist. It's called Mobland, it's on Paramount Plus. Nobody has seen the show.

We watched it. We watched all of it.
