Making Some Cutting Remarks About Crystal Lake

Clip 00:05 I never told anyone what I'm about to tell you. And I'm just trying to. . Decide where to start Dave 00:32 This is the Extra Hawk Ray Podcast, episode 637th for the week of October 19th, 2026. I am Garden Fresh Head in the Bag, David T. Cole, and I'm here with Lung Full of Lake, Sarah D. Bunting. Sarah 00:50 I'm bringing you down, man Dave 00:51 Phil Lipschius of Bumfuck Rhode Island, aka Tar area, no? Tara 00:55 No watches food or bathroom breaks. Dave 00:57 And hard to look at, but sweet Dan Rogge. Dan 01:00 Shut the fuck up, Dave. Dave 01:04 Huh. Sarah 01:06 Oh, God Tara 01:07 Welcome to Extra Hot Great for another week joining us. He is a TV producer and Billy Joel X. You have heard with us many times before. It's Daniel Bla Rogge. Welcome back, Dan. Sarah 01:19 Damn Dave 01:19 Dan, Dan Dan 01:19 Yay! Thank you for having me. Love you guys, miss you guys. Tara 01:23 We love you too, and we're about to find out if we loved our lead topic, which is Crystal Lake, Pamela Voorhees, Linda Cartellini. Is a single mom supporting herself and her son Jason, Callum Vinson, as a cook at a public school during the year and at Camp Crystal Lake in the summer. Jason, who has a condition that has altered the shape of his head and neck, has a hard time with the bullies at camp to a degree Pamela can't really appreciate until he swims out past the rope because the counselor who's supposed to be watching him is having sex with her boyfriend Since Jason's body is never found, Pamela is still experiencing complicated grief nearly a year later, and finding out that the camp's owners plan to reopen it does not help. Then a couple of New Jersey State cops, or are they, they're not, show up at her house asking about her unusual surname, giving Pamela a chance to show off her talent for self-preservation. The show is a prequel to the Friday the 13th movie series. The show was created by Brad Caleb Kane, who previously wrote on the It prequel series, Welcome to Dairy. All eight episodes of Crystal Lake dropped on Peacock October 15th. We may talk about events from any of them, or from at least the first Friday the 13th movie, which you've had almost 50 years to see if you had wanted to. Let's do the chin check-in, Dan. Should our listeners watch Crystal Lake? Dan 02:40 Maybe episodes one and seven and eight. Tara 02:43 Okay, Sarah? Sarah 02:45 Mm , I don't think so. Tara 02:48 Dave. Dave 02:49 Unnecessary and overstuffed, but you should scan for the kills because there are some fucking all timers in this one. Sarah 02:55 Yeah, oh yeah, it's squelchy. Tara 02:55 Yeah, I think I might do that because the in-between parts were not lighting my heart on fire. Let's uh get into it As Slasher Villains go, Pamela Voorhees in the first Friday the 13th movie is a pretty sympathetic one. Horny teens let her son die, so she's taking revenge on other horny teens. Make sense to me. We all know the real reason this show happened was to revive old IP, but is there a version of it that could have made more of a case for its existence, Dan? Dan 03:25 I think Linda Cardellini, who is a national tr Treasure is once again the winner of the incredible performance in a show I almost love Tara 03:30 Sure. Dan 03:37 for more than a decade running now. Tara 03:40 Mm-hmm Dan 03:40 I also sense that if the cultural buzz machine didn't have a lot of other stuff on its mind over this past weekend, it might have given a little bit more of an opportunity for this to But if we're still doing a full season drop, I would say if it were going to move the culture, it already would have done so by now. Tara 04:02 Mm-hmm Dan 04:03 So that's sort of where I fall on it. I did rewatch the original film. I do still enjoy it after all this time, but it's very fun, especially with how elevated horror is now, seeing how some of those modern horror tropes we take for granted were developing in real time. Tara 04:19 Mm-hmm. Dan 04:19 The Foreboding gas station, the so crazy he's saying town person that makes you be like, oh this is why Widow's Bay is funny Tara 04:27 Yep. Dan 04:28 Seeing where it was riffing made me want to actually go back and watch the entire movie series rather than any more of the TV series. Tara 04:39 Sarah, what did you think? Sarah 04:40 I think that because of Cardellini's performance, which is pitched perfectly to the content and sort of allows for like almost most modernly ironic squelchy kills, but also it gives the audience space to reflect on the nature of haunting and what it says about grief and the overlap between wanting to be scared and also wanting to not have to believe that when people die they just die and that's it. Like There is a lot of overlap. And you see this in true crime too. Like this is well above my pay grade. I have but a bachelor's, so I won't get too into it. But I did feel like it was allowing base for that in the way that it was elevated. With that said, you Don't need eight episodes of that. Tara 05:34 Yeah. Sarah 05:35 And if you are also gonna do Machete to the Brain Pan, I I mean, ha how do you marry those two things and still keep the line moving? And I'm not totally sure that it was successful in staying up on that tightrope and trying to do both of those things. Tara 05:54 Mm-hmm. Sarah 05:54 I mean it wasn't uninteresting. I just think, as I so often think, like, can't we stop at four Tara 06:01 Right. Sarah 06:02 or six? Isn't the job done? Dan 06:03 Right. Sarah 06:04 Like, we've seen that guy's entire skull. Dan 06:09 Yeah Sarah 06:09 Like Tara 06:09 Yeah Sarah 06:10 she turned his head and a plastic bag into a giant blood pimple, and then it burst. Like that was very satisfying. Tara 06:18 Mm-hmm. Dave 06:18 It was. Sarah 06:19 I think we also understand the complicated grief aspect of it. Dave 06:19 It really was. Tara 06:23 Sure. Sarah 06:23 We are only 55 minutes in. Do we have to stay here another seven hours? Tara 06:28 Right. Sarah 06:28 I'm not sure we do. Tara 06:29 Yeah. Dave. Dave 06:31 I say sometimes we just let serial killers be serial killers. Sometimes they're just bad dudes with a machete that want to stick it in your neck and then do bad things with your corpse. Tara 06:41 Mm-hmm. Yeah. Dave 06:42 That's just Sarah 06:42 Mm-hmm. Dave 06:43 sometimes that's just what you want. I don't think we needed a sympathetic backstory for the killer from the Friday the thirteenth. series. Tara 06:50 No, no, yeah Dave 06:50 And that's what ultimately this is. When you get to the end of the series you're like, really? Really? Dan 06:55 Yeah. Dave 06:56 That's the that's the thing And I can talk about that in a second. We're well into spoiler zones. I gonna spoil a whole bunch of shit. Tara 07:02 Yeah, please Dave 07:02 So get ready. Tara 07:03 do. Dave 07:04 Okay. So That is my big problem with this. It's just unnecessary. Tara 07:08 Mm-hmm. Dave 07:08 So if the plot is unnecessary, therefore I am here for the goo, for the machetes and brains, for the people's faces getting pulled apart. Sarah 07:16 Mm-hmm. Dave 07:19 And it delivers semi-frequently on that. Dan 07:23 Isn't it? Dave 07:23 I think we needed like one or two more kills per episode to sell me on the series if the plot didn't, which it didn't. Tara 07:30 Hundred percent Dave 07:31 There is a grape kill very nearby. We're just talking about it. The garden fresh head in the bag that fills with blood very quickly. And then he's just walking around. Looks like some guy from uh Half-Life with a crab on his head. Tara 07:45 Yeah Dave 07:45 And she's fighting him. He's like it's quite comedic. He's just like blindly trying to fight her because his head is in a big balloon of blood. And they eventually fall to the floor and then of course it bursts open all over her. That was good. Earlier in that fight, she just literally s deli slices a huge chunk of various parts of his face. with a an oblique s swipe of a knife, part of his cheek, part of his nose, half of his mouth go away. And then there is a scene later with a mother of one of the camp girls, like one of the Tara 08:19 One of the campers. Her name is Grace. She was she's the girl who was nice to Jason. Dave 08:23 Yeah, she's the other kid lead in this. And there is a slight misunderstanding about the level of abuse that's going on in that house. And Pam takes it personally and goes to where she works at this little diner, the awful mom, and fucking Tara 08:37 The awful mom. Mm-hmm. Dave 08:41 takes a giant meat tenderizer and just eradicates the bottom half of this woman's face. Tara 08:46 It's so gnarly. Dave 08:47 to the point where her tongue is coming from her throat out like a dog Tara 08:52 Uh-huh. Dave 08:52 panting in the summer heat, and then she stumbles around after getting hit and missing half a face, and let's say Tara 08:58 Oh, yes. Dave 08:59 w none of us are gonna be our best in that situation. And she slips headfirst, of course, into the deep fryer and bubbles away for a while. Tara 09:05 Mm-hmm. Sarah 09:06 Oh, sure. Tara 09:07 Yep. Dave 09:07 It was magnificent. Tara 09:10 Yes. Dave 09:10 It was boys level disgusting, boys level camp. Tara 09:15 Mm-hmm Dave 09:15 And that's why this sort of horror thing works for me because it's not really horrific. It's kind of funny because it's so over the top in that boy's death kind of way. Tara 09:22 Mm-hmm. Yes. Yeah, well two things about that. Sarah 09:25 Mm-hmm. Tara 09:27 First, there is a story earlier today on the Hollywood Reporter that the creator Brad Caleb Kane was not allowed to show nudity. But all of this insane violence is just fine. And the moment that they chose to illustrate the post Dan 09:37 No problem. Tara 09:40 was the mom with the half her jaw missing. Like, I can't imagine being a a person just reading Hollywood Reporter for, you know Dave 09:50 Yeah. Sarah 09:51 Box office Tara 09:51 And then to be Sarah 09:52 reports, yeah. Tara 09:52 exactly to find out what's Bafo and what got ankled and then s being confronted by this. Dave 09:58 And then did the last thing on that scene. is three gold stars for the foley artists there Tara 10:03 Oh yeah, yeah Dave 10:03 because that woman's gurgling after she loses her face was so disgusting. Tara 10:08 It's not it's not great. Dave 10:09 It was great. Tara 10:10 I agree with you that it's funny Dan 10:10 Mm-hmm. Tara 10:12 and it's because it's almost too like if episodes were shorter, this would that you could almost say they're doing a treehouse of horror homage Cause at a certain point it's like Pam has killed so many people. You can imagine her like trying to shove them in a closet or something like before her boss comes over for dinner and she has to clean up real fast. Like it's almost at that level of farce Dave 10:33 Yeah. Tara 10:33 how many people she just Dave 10:34 Well Tara 10:34 Like she's killing her way through this town. Dave 10:36 Sure, but speak to exactly that Tara 10:38 Mm-hmm. Dave 10:39 is the Bear Cave scene. Tara 10:40 Yeah. Dave 10:41 Where she has killed the two people that came to her home that you're talking about, the people from the mysterious institute that want her back. Tara 10:47 Higher goons, yeah, mm-hmm Dave 10:48 Hired goons, what? And she takes him into the forest. She has with her a jar of honey, some canned tuna, and berries. Tara 10:57 Yep. Yeah, blueberries. Dave 10:58 And she basically makes a concoction on each of their chests. Tara 10:59 Mm-hmm. She makes a bear charcuterie Dan 11:03 Yeah. She's Tara 11:05 tray for Dan 11:06 her dad Dave 11:06 Yep. Tara 11:06 on these corpses. Dave 11:07 Thank you. Tara 11:08 Mm-hmm Dave 11:08 And then she dumps him into the bear cave for the bear to eat. Tara 11:12 Yeah, mm, yeah, mm-hmm Dave 11:12 And it does. It has a nice little snack right there. And then later on there's an episode called Kill Them Mommy. Where Jason comes back to her in sort of a vision and tells her to kill him and she's like, alright. And then she like kills 17 people in like 10 minutes, just like going around hacking people. left and right. Tara 11:30 Mm-hmm. Dan 11:30 Okay Dave 11:30 And I was like, all right. Tara 11:31 Yeah. Dave 11:31 I mean, if we could get more of that, I would be into it. Tara 11:33 Uh-huh. Dave 11:34 But then like it's three hours as Sarah was saying Tara 11:37 Right. Dave 11:37 of town folk Tara 11:39 Mm-hmm. Dave 11:39 and, you know, oh no, what of the camp? Sarah 11:40 Yeah. Dave 11:41 Can Tara 11:42 Right. Dave 11:42 it survive this fiscal year? Like Sarah 11:44 Meditations on loss and also camp admin, like Dave 11:47 Yeah. I don't need meditations on loss. I just want. Tara 11:50 No. Sarah 11:50 Yeah. Tara 11:51 But Dan 11:51 And Sarah 11:51 Yeah. Tara 11:51 also, like Sarah 11:52 Meditations on Squelch. I get it. Tara 11:54 Yes. Dave 11:54 Mm-hmm. Tara 11:54 She she's a villain. Oh, okay, now a woman can't live out loud. I see Like she's clearly very good at this. Let her cook, literally. Dan 12:04 Letter Sarah 12:04 Oh Dave 12:05 I am not super versed in the Friday 13th series. I think I've saw one or two when I was a kid. Tara 12:11 Mm-hmm. Dave 12:12 But where does it start the movie? Tara 12:14 Well, it Dave 12:15 Like what Tara 12:15 it's Dave 12:16 is happening at the start? Tara 12:17 the camp is just about to reopen again. Dave 12:19 Oh, okay, got it. Okay, so they really do just lead right in. Tara 12:20 But it's years later. Dave 12:22 It's a real Rogue One Star Wars situation. Tara 12:24 Sort of. There's a s Dave 12:25 Yeah. Tara 12:25 there's like a a cold open kind of where you see the kids Dave 12:29 At Tara 12:29 like Dave 12:29 a camp? Tara 12:29 fucking at camp. Dave 12:30 Okay, I think that is the end scene of this. Tara 12:33 Okay. Dave 12:33 Because there's a scene that seemed very deliberate with people we've never seen before that felt like it was like recasting something from the movies. Tara 12:38 Right, mm hmm. Dave 12:42 And then somebody hears the twig snap, and that's the end of the thing. Yeah. Dan 12:47 Sorry, that sound design is actually perfect. I also think the sneaky best part of the first movie is that there are no campers in it. It's like Tara 12:55 Mm-hmm. Dan 12:55 peak. It does peak prequel in an almost jokey way, in that it bases the entire origin story of one gauzy flashback shot of a kid drowning. Like that is literally where the entire prequel comes from. Tara 13:10 Mm-hmm Dan 13:10 And even at its best in this media environment, if you're looking for great funny self-referential horror, all you have to do is look literally anywhere, which Tara 13:21 It's true. Dan 13:22 gave this the feeling that it was all sort of like It was like horror methadone. Like me, you felt that the creators had clearly also just watched the movie as well. Tara 13:28 Yeah. Mm-hmm. Dan 13:33 So a lot of the surface trappings, like the ch ch music. Tara 13:37 Mm-hmm. Dan 13:38 sound design, the opening credits graphic. They're very reminiscent of the film. Tara 13:42 Totally Dan 13:43 But even if you look at the first scare misdirect of the entire series, the camera cuts to the POV of someone scarily entering the room like they're gonna menace Pam from behind. But then the camera cuts to young Jason and that's how he's introduced. And the movie is very specific about what it uses that angle for and so like Surprise, you find out in the film that's actually Pam's POV. So sure. The episode looked like the movie, but more in a way like they were trying to convert it from like a document to a PDF by just deleting the original file extension and typing in a new one. Like it was like wearing a 1980 costume without committing to the full burlap mask. And so it didn't quite give it the the oomph it needed. Tara 14:27 Say the first hints of whatever Argonaut is gonna be is a strong sign there was not actually a TV season's worth of material here until it got patted out. I felt Dan, you're nodding, you agree. Dan 14:39 A hundred percent, yeah. Dave 14:39 Yeah. Tara 14:39 Yeah. Dave 14:40 Guess what episode seven is? Tara 14:42 Whoa, you're kidding. Dave 14:42 It's the flashback episode right before the finale that we hate. Tara 14:46 Wow Dave 14:46 Yeah. Tara 14:49 Yeah, I think there was a time when I would be into a shadowy like science organization story, but like somewhere between the X-Files and Lost and Severance, like my patience for that has been exhausted. Dan 15:01 Exactly. Tara 15:01 Like I only had so much for my life and it's gone. Dave 15:03 And it's always the same as Dan 15:04 Mm-hmm. Dave 15:05 how can we make a person who's tougher that can fight the battles that regular people can? Tara 15:05 Yep. Right, right Dave 15:09 fight. We descend him out in the desert, and he'll just come back with 40 heads around his waist. Tara 15:13 Mm-hmm. Is that were there any townsfolk that anyone thought were interesting? I'll say beyond Lee Vaughn Brooks, the police chief, who sort of becomes Pam Milla 's. Love interest, but everyone else I was like, okay. I'm I'm sorry, I'm not gonna care about Enos. Dan 15:29 No, I exactly. Or if you watch just the first episode, you're like, oh, that's so cool. Sarah 15:31 Yeah. Dan 15:34 We like having the police sheriff, but then let's have a whole scene with his s Sister? Tara 15:39 Right Dan 15:39 Like it was so yeah, no, Sarah 15:40 Yeah, the alternative Dan 15:41 he was the only Sarah 15:44 Journalist? Like, okay, whatever. Dan 15:45 right. Tara 15:46 Mm-hmm. Sarah 15:46 Here's the thing. I don't think this is badly done, but it's the same problem as Bates Motel, which is that part of the original's power derives from all the shit that the audience fills in. Tara 15:52 Right. Sarah 15:58 And then there's a big jump scare reveal that you can't replicate, so the methadone comp is perfect. But then once it's done and you've like filled in all this background, it's like, but who was this I mean, who was this for? It's not not for me. I don't think it's bad. It just doesn't need to be Dave 16:17 I agree. The other filler episode, which was basically how can we do a different version of her sitting with a psychiatrist in a room, was her and her friend going to Somewhere, somewhere upstate New York or something like that, to go to like Tara 16:29 Mm-hmm. Dave 16:31 an experience Tara 16:32 Yeah, it's a Dave 16:33 thing. Tara 16:33 knock knock off est. Dave 16:34 Yeah, right, exactly. Tara 16:35 Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Dave 16:37 And I was like, okay, the payoff at the end was kind of fun, but like that again was like the flashback episode in episode seven. It's like Yes, okay. Sarah D. Bunting was right. This could have been a four episode series and been much stronger for it, because you didn't need those two episodes. Tara 16:50 Yeah Sarah 16:51 mhm, ajá Tara 16:52 Well, the other thing is to speak to Dan's point about the media environment we're in, like we are weeks away from teenage sex and death at Camp Miasma being in theaters, which is like That already is a better iteration on the Friday the thirteenth franchise than anything we see here. Dan, you're nodding. Did you see it? Dan 17:10 I have not seen it yet, but just reading the title and the synopsis Tara 17:11 Oh, okay. Dan 17:14 and the cast list Tara 17:16 Yeah Dan 17:16 is far more entertaining than eight episodes of this show. I couldn't be more excited for it in a way that I couldn't have been more neutral about this, so for sure. Tara 17:23 Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Dan 17:25 Mm-hmm. Tara 17:25 Well, as a final note, if you want to be as cool as Pamela Voorhees without killing people, uh Dan 17:25 Yep. Tara 17:29 you also can watch Three's Company. It is streaming on Peacock as well. Dan 17:33 Hello Dave 17:34 Pass. I just rather kill people. Clip 17:42 Got a lot of shows. It's a great time for shows. Dave 17:46 All right, it is time for around the dial first up, Tar. Tara 17:50 First off, we I talked about below last week. We subsequently finished it. It's Fine. I respect the show's choice not to soft soap how bad climate change is, like worse than projections probably, but Ultimately, I feel like I barely saw the giant squid the show is supposedly about, so I think you can safely skip this one. Dave, you also watch this. Do you agree? Do you concur? Dave 18:13 Yeah, I mean when you started off it looked like it was something in between Jaws and Widows Bay. Tara 18:18 Right Dave 18:19 You know, the town is cursed and there's a monster and oh no, how are we gonna deal with that? But then in the end it just turned out to be, well, it's just a fucking giant squ squid and is trying to have some babies. Tara 18:27 Yeah. Dave 18:28 Spoiler. Tara 18:28 Mm-hmm. Dave 18:29 And Tara 18:29 Again, a woman can't live out loud, etc. Dave 18:33 and by the end of it, it was like Okay, that like wasn't really a threat worthy of the rest of the series. And then like the very end shot was so confusing to me because like the thing about the icebergs that are appearing in town, there is like a vodka company that only uses iceberg water, so the fishermen are actually fishing for icebergs and bringing them back to shore. But one of 'em just smells like am ammonia and is really disgusting and they figure out there's egg sacs and shit in there from this giant squid who's trying to have kids. And at the very end, after everything is solved, there's all this other shit about a mining company and all this you know, just take one thing off stack. There's just like they're on their boat and they're having a good time and the last shot is just like four icebergs coming into shore. It's like, all right, they just might be normal icebergs. Tara 19:24 Right. Dave 19:24 And like, is this s giant squid working overtime just pumping out iceberg babies left and right. Tara 19:27 Mm-hmm. Dave 19:29 It just made no sense. It was just really they had an idea which was squid jaws and then they were like, we can't just do squid jaws. How are we going to subvert expectations and the less the way they did it is the actual story is way more boring, which is a choice. Tara 19:45 Uh-huh. Yeah. Yeah, to anyone listening who's planning their own horror movie, it's fine, just make squid Jaws. Jaws is good for a reason. Dave 19:53 Get Jason and the squid just out there fucking killing people. Tara 19:57 Yes, I Dave 19:57 That's all we need. If Jason had giant tentacles, he'd be unstoppable. Tara 20:00 Yes, that's true. Dan 20:02 And he didn't need to like escape from the s Squid Institute for Abused Squid. Like, not to bring it back to Crystal Lake again, but I had a single mom. Tara 20:09 Ajá, mm Dan 20:11 She was a teacher. She spent her summers teaching music at a summer camp. This one a sports camp for rich ass white kids on the north shore of Long Island. Tara 20:18 Oh Dan 20:20 For ten years, I was driven to camp daily, kept under the watchful eye of mommy, with my deformity being the deformity of being very clumsy and effeminate at a sports summer camp for rich white kids. And I coped by going to college and joining an a cappella group, and my mom didn't stab anyone with an errant black key. Tara 20:33 Uh huh. Yeah Dan 20:39 So again, just doubling down on it, let squid be squid. Dave 20:41 Yeah. Sarah 20:41 Yet Dave 20:42 But you were walking around with a burlap sack over your head for a couple of those years and it was weird. Dan 20:47 I mean, honestly. Tara 20:48 Who wasn't? Dave 20:48 Yeah. Tara 20:49 Alright. This week also saw the return of two shows that don't skimp on gross andor terrifying special effects. 911 which is back for its, believe it or not, tenth season and nine one one colon Nashville back for season two. Typically the shows in this franchise do a three episode premiere about a marquee catastrophe, and then you get a bunch of episodes in the middle that are about like people's origin story that you don't care about. But last season on Nine One One, for example, we started with a tech billionaire played by Mark Consuelos, getting swallowed by a whale without losing cell service, which he used to call Dine One One from inside the whale. Which was just a setup for two members of the permanent cast to get an invitation from that very tech billionaire to do some space tourism, which I'm sorry to say Sarah 21:26 Oh god, I forgot about that. Tara 21:34 didn't go great. This season we got a similar red herring disaster. A sinkhole on a street in downtown LA swallows a bunch of cars and a bus. The casualties include an aspiring actor slash schmorshmash driver who was distracted learning lines that she had stuck to her steering wheel. She ends up fully underwater. and an elderly transplant from back east, retaking his driver's test, whose pacemaker starts shorting out so he gets defibrillated every few seconds They both live. The head of Los Angeles' emergency management department, played by Rob Hubel hilariously, by the way, is furious that there were no warning signs of an imminent sinkhole. and makes Maddie, the Jennifer Love Hewitt nine one one head character, review all of the nine one one calls from the area. She doesn't arrive at anything c conclusive before all of a sudden the sinkhole starts making a noise like screaming, and then a volcano erupts Dave 22:25 Oh Tara 22:25 in the middle of the city and a big hunk of lava lands right on Rob Hubel. That's the end of the season premiere. Dave 22:31 I got a better take on that. Sarah 22:32 Oh my God. Tara 22:33 Yeah. Dave 22:34 It sounds like kids screaming and then dozens and dozens and hundreds of goats come out. Tara 22:39 Yeah Dave 22:39 Heck Tara 22:41 Okay, that's the end of the season premiere. Stay put, because here comes Nine Woman on Nashville. Dave 22:44 Yeah. Uh oh Tara 22:45 They booked Courtney Grace, who played the anchor woman at the end of disclosure day. to play the pregnant MC of an architecture award banquet celebrating a guy, I'm sorry to say, is named Babel. He's excited to unveil the model of the skyscraper he's about to build in Nashville. Dave 23:00 Wow. Tara 23:01 Guess what it's called? But as soon as the model of the Tower of Babel is unveiled to applause and a spotlight, outfly thousands of murder hornets They are the size of a man's thumb. Sarah 23:10 Yeah. Tara 23:12 They have serrated teeth that can chew through organic material and they release venom. So this is very bad. Also, the banquet is taking place in an art gallery, so as soon as the alarm is triggered, the doors lock everyone in with the guests And hornets to protect the art. The 113 squad deal with the emergency. Sorry to say Mr. Babel himself does not survive, and are getting ready to leave when in comes a new metro detective named Rogue Kelly. He is played by Newcastle Delaware's own Ryan Philippi doing this. Let's hear the clip. Clip 23:45 So tell me, how does a hot shot like you leave the big apple at the height of his career? Because the apple is routing. I love New York, but I got tired of living in a city in decline. Figured I'd switch to one on the rise. Hmm. That a pretty way of saying you got passed over for a promotion? It's a pretty way of saying I got tired of stepping over human feces and needles in the subway. So you traded it for vomit and pee on Broadway. Tara 24:12 Come on. Clip 24:16 Officer Lennox, I think we're gonna get along. Sarah 24:22 What Tara 24:23 That Sarah 24:23 what the fuck Tara 24:25 definitely Sarah 24:26 is Tara 24:26 dialogue written by a human being Sarah 24:26 that? Tara 24:28 is what we just heard. Sarah 24:29 A human being who has been to New York City ever. Dave 24:33 I remember when we used to work at Bravo and we used to, you know, go home and take the one train or whatever it was Tara 24:38 Mm-hmm. Dave 24:38 up to uh where we lived and Tara 24:39 B or D Dave 24:40 I would just like I gotta go to the bathroom and I'm like I can't I can't hold it. I was Dan 24:43 Yeah. Dave 24:44 gonna shit right here on the platform. And I did it like twice a week at least. Tara 24:49 Sarah, we also hear in the scene that Rogue Kelly was the subduct of a podcast about how he caught the Staten Island Strangler, so FYI. He turns out to be right that the Hornet attack is murder. When a second attack happens, a girl with a broken leg has wheeled down to her building's laundry room when the drain starts gushing up. So much blood, the room is filled to waist height in minutes. It eventually becomes clear the killer has a biblical motivation, so I'm looking forward to more plagues upon the city of Nashville in the weeks ahead. Powerfully dumb shows. I can't really endorse them, but I am So happy they're back. Not least because the name Rogue Kelly inspired a post on Dave's blog, Paint Chip People, which uh many uh listeners and Discord members have been sending him suggestions for uh People too add. Dave 25:37 Yes, quite a few dozen by now. Tara 25:38 Yeah. Dave 25:39 Yeah. If you want to see what color Edgar Winter is, I got ya I got ya. Have they dealt with the fallout from Dolly Parton's death yet on Tara 25:44 Not yet. Ooh, good point. Dave 25:46 Okay. Yeah, the Dolly Parton riots Tara 25:48 Mm-hmm. Sarah 25:49 You God Dave 25:51 All right, Dan, what have you been watching recently? People must know about. What is your recommendation of the year? Dan 25:57 Here is the opposite of that. Mm matchbox, the car, the movie, the show. The car again. It's on Apple TV, starring the acting powerhouses of Jessica Beale and John Cena, and possibly their AI avatars in at least some of this scene work. Question mark, question mark. Speaking of the media economy at this point in it, there is no shame in the game of stuffing your pockets with those sweet, sweet branding bucks. And before we know it, one of your favorite shows is going to be produced by like the in-house production shingle of Dick's Sporting Goods or something. And honestly, that's fine. But Mattel's creatives know what they're doing. It is why Barbie existed, and the long-threatened five scariest words in media history, Lena Dunham Polly Pocket movie, do not. But when the phone people and the toy people team up to dazzle us with the childlike wonder of what I remember as the extremely innocent child activity of playing with tiny little cars, aw cars, matchbox the movie. is like what would happen if the Russo brothers learned all the wrong lessons from the Barbie movie, which is exactly what happened, as Sam Hargrave, basically the Russo 's in-house residence stunt coordinator takes the reins to direct in a story of torture, kidnapping, international trafficking of bombs and people, forced drugging, perspective nuclear annihilation, and multiple casualties from guns, guns, guns. You know, matchbox cars Dave 27:31 Wow. Dan 27:33 for kids, all on the thrilling candy-coated streets of Budapest. Unfortunately, this simultaneously very expensive and very cheap monstrosity sparkles in candy-coated 256 shades of gray. and features planes, trains, and automobiles in that order, making me wish this actually was more of a cynical SpawnCon play than this depressing trash. Finally, and most disturbing, I get the sense that the research that led to this movie, which was completely AI-generated research, I'm sure of that. It told the streamer that it had to be sort of the stylistic opposite of Barbie. It was like dark tones, black and gray, everything, like I said, so many guns, leading the movie to just say, Barbie is for girls. Matchboxes for boys, which makes me want to cry for the boys. Boys, you're allowed to like color. Don't let this missive from what feels like. Pete Hegseth's production company uh tell you otherwise. It is very, very sad. Don't watch it. Tara 28:40 Now Dave 28:40 I wonder if they have the cojones to make a cinematic universe out of all this where all these things are existing in the same place. Like Could Matchbox exist in the world that gave us Battleship? I hope so. Dan 28:54 I hope so too, and I can't I can't wait to see it. Dave 28:56 Yeah, okay. Dan 28:57 Well Apple certainly has the money. They would not even real they would not even recognize another billion had disappeared into their contents then For my plug, the complete opposite of all of that. Dave 29:05 Yeah , Dan 29:08 It's the golden life. The golden life. Premiering on E the very day we are recording this, October 20th. So by the time you hear it, the first episode, first supersized episode will already have aired on what remains of the cable landscape. Off of Bravo and out of New York, some of the real housewives of New York City OGs, Ramona, Luann, and Kelly, and some slightly later G 's as well, Sonia and Dorinda. have traded in their New York blacks for Palm Beach Caftans, but the drama follows no matter where they go. I know satisfaction with the current iteration of Roni is not super high, and since New York was my entry point for the entire franchise We have an Upper East Side relative we still refer to as Aunt Ramona, so strong are the similarities. Nothing made me happier than coming on as one of the executive producers on the first season of this very fun and funny series. Sarah 30:00 God Dan 30:07 I had never worked with the NBC Universal spinoff company, and I was afraid of being part of the inaugural Real Housewives of Versant, but alas. These ladies carry their own in every possible way, and the result is just five completely unproblematic leads, we can all agree At least that's what the show would like you to believe since Jill Zaren got kicked to the curb before filming even started. That's the Golden Life premiering right now on E. Dave 30:35 All right, Sarah, what do you got for us? Sarah 30:37 Well, I can't believe I let myself get sucked into a rewatch of The Good Wife with all the other shit I have to watch that it or that is on the list. But it really is a credit to the show that it is immediately good and itself The stunt casting of quirky slash cranky judges is present from the series premiere, David Pamer. Margarise's wig is Flawlessly bouncin' and behaving in some shots and looks like some cheap Jack 50's Barbie knockoff hair in others. She and Josh Charles have crackling chemistry and Christine Baransky's Diane is beleaguered by same immediately Kalinda's boots are as amazing from jump as the junior florics are annoying and superfluous, which is to say, extremely The premiere script has clearly thought through and populated to the edge of frame not just how Alicia's situation would play out for her, it has smartly jumped ahead from the inciting incident and not made us watch too much emotional admin And it's front-loaded the show with process and balanced the entire thing very smartly, so both aspects of Alicia 's journey are proceeding at speed. The Good Wife made its mistakes over the years, God knows, and it probably stayed a little too long at its own dance, at least in terms of its titular character. But it really was so assured and watchable from the first minute and now I am capital I in it with this rewatch. Boo hoo for me. But speaking of legal process, you do not have to put yourself in the poor house buying true crime. You can do it at my All True Crime bookshop. Exhibit B books. There's a mystery sale on right now, 20% off selected titles. It's not really that mysterious. Y'all are smart people, but head on over and see what you can save on. I will link it in the show notes And David T. Cole will remind you now what the cart does. Dave 32:35 The cart serity bunting does the math Sarah 32:38 Yes, it does. Concur Dave 32:42 Alright, here's what's coming up. An extra, extra hot great for club members on Friday. We're gonna be talking about Hulu's phony. That's with a Y, not with an IE in case you want to look it up. That's what we'll be talking about. Tara, you watch a little bit of it quickly, quickly, quickly. What is it about? Tara 32:56 I watched the first four episodes. It's about a boy who gets in a car accident and when he wakes up after a few days in the hospital, he is convinced that his beloved mother, played by Connie Britton, is an imposter. Dave 33:09 Oh, a reverse changeling. Tara 33:11 Yes. Dave 33:12 Yes. All right. And then next week, come back here, EHG Prime. We're going to be talking about NBC.yes, an NBC sitcom discussion. Looking forward to it. It's been a while. Tara 33:22 Yeah. Dave 33:22 Newlyweds with Bobby Finger. Clip 33:30 This is BBC Two. In a moment, we'll be going over to Shepherd's Bush for tonight's edition of Look Around You. But first, let's take a look at the lineup for this coming Anthemacy. Programs for Antmacy on BBC Two start at 6. 15 with action-packed drama in The American Policeman. Tonight, a faulty headlight leads the American policeman to a case of semi-murder. At 10 to 7, it's the good news. Followed at 7. 20 by For sale, which this week looks at a new housing development in Lake Windermere. Close down is at the earlier time of 7. 45, then at 10 to 8 We pay another enchanting visit to Tlentifini Mahesu. At 8:40, it's the bad news. Then at 20 past nine, we join Dr. Bukowski on his search for Britain's most beautiful. Newsnight special is at 10. 30, which takes a look at a revolutionary new bird, which has the British chicken industry running scared. Imagine that is at 11. 30. And this week. The businessmen are trying to imagine a young Margaret Thatcher tossing pancakes in the nutty. And with football highlights at 1225, that browns up programs for Antimacy on BBC Two. Dave 35:04 Yes, indeed, we are talking about look around you. This is season two, episode five, Computers. Season one of the show nailed the educational films of the 1970s. You can see my previous canon pitch for that. And in season two, they jump into the 1980s with a very different, but still very accurate, take on the educational programming of its time. Here is Peter Packard, played by Peter Sarah Finnowitz, introducing the episode with the help of a computer he programs in real time. Clip 35:35 That's all on tonight's computerized edition of Look around yards. Dave 35:59 We discover computers are important to the nation because they help with everything from that resurrection of Henry VIII to controlling of Britain's second son. So we all owe a debt to computers. I'm gonna go through some of the highlights of the episode. This is such a joke-dense show, and there are audio jokes, there are video jokes, there are you gotta pause your TV to see the jokes. It's got everything, so I'm just I can't do exhaustive, I can only do illustrative. So the first big segment is called Invention of the Week. There's one of these in every episode of the second season. This one is the memory helmet and Pam Bachelor, one of the co-hosts. Played by Olivia Coleman is going to try it on. I would absolutely love to clip Olivia working her way through this stupid list, but as you know, the memory helmet is so powerful it makes your voice very deep and hard to understand. She aces the task, she puts on the helmet, somebody shows her all of Shakespeare's plays for one second, she blinks, the helmet does its thing, and then she correctly names all of Shakespeare's plays. the Noble Naysayer, Rupert II, the Whore and the Harryman, the Weary Wives of Warwick, O'Reilly, the House at Bundlehurst, Rupert the Third, Conyus and Gronumus Twas a merry morn in Malta, tit for tat, Ian the first, Ian the second, Ian the third part one, Ian the third part two, Ian the third part three. Razimatez, Summer in Paris, Bessie's Revenge, Rupert the Fourth, David's Diary, Knock Knock, Catherine and Casanova, Rupert the Fifth, and Harlem Blues We then move on to a special report segment Clip 37:50 Everyone loves a good game. Whether it's an exciting round of zero X or a 20-second bout of quickfire chess. Oh, come on, Glame, take it, check it, we don't come on James! But today the gaming world has really taken technology to heart, with the robotjong macaro being the most sought-after toy of the year. You cannot be serious! But if you don't happen to have five and a half million dollars to spare, there's still one place you can go for all your high-tech thrills. Dave 38:20 And that one place is a very sad store called Griffith 's Game Mega Mart, and according to the computer they use as a hour sign. They are closed on Mondays. On Tuesday, they're semi-closed. On Wednesday, they're semi-open. On Thursday, they're open. Friday and Saturday unopened. And Sunday shut. We are introduced to Lee Griffiths, the owner, who explains the hot news genre in computer games, the Sim Game. Clip 38:49 Well, this is a popular game at the moment. It's called Holiday. It recreates the experience of being on a summer holiday. There are three settings, uh blackpool, camping and a package holiday to Spain. And so where are you now? Well I'm in Spain. It's it's the best one really. Now Lee I noticed you've taken your top off Well yes that's the best way to enjoy the game because it's the total holiday experience. So you can really immerse yourself in the whole thing And it even comes with its own beach. Well, it's uh a box of sand really, but uh it all adds to the reality of the thing and uh It's it's Spanish sand, so So they say. The most popular computer game at the moment is this one, based on a recently discovered novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Dave 39:36 So it's it's hard to hear, but of course that F. Scott Fistrail novel turned into a video game is Diarrhea Dan. Tara 39:44 Yeah. Dave 39:44 One of his best works. Uh I really love the store owner in this, and they've really done a really good job with the actual store. This is sort of In the UK, this would be the Timex Sinclair sort of era. All your games are still on cassette. Over here in North America would be the VIC 20 Commodore 64 sort of zone. Lee gets a little emotional thinking about where things will take us in the future. Clip 40:11 So what does Levy think the future holds for computer games? Oh well Peter, I've always been um a big fan of uh romantic sad films, you know, the the the weepies sort of thing. So I think that uh a computer game that could be just as uh emotionally involving as a sad film Uh you know, it's so sad that it can actually make you physically cry. I'd like to see that. That would be fantastic. Sarah 40:55 Oh Dave 40:56 And that ends the special request. Sarah 40:56 God. Dave 40:58 for it, I really, really love that segment a lot. It really took me back to the days the early days of buying computer stuff at like Kmart or that one local computer guy who had the weird store in the strip mall, you know, the one that's now a hookah store Dan 41:11 Right. Sarah 41:13 Mm-hmm. Dave 41:13 Next segment, the weakest segment is the Petticoat 5, is the computer for ladies. You know, it's got an emery board for this spacebar, and it has a nice little misting every once in a while. It is invented by the mom from the in-betweeners with the giant pair of really bad fake teeth. Tara 41:29 With crazy princess Ann Teeth, I wrote in my in my notes. Dave 41:32 Yeah. Sarah 41:32 Yeah. Tara 41:34 No offense Dave 41:34 Weakest part of the episode, but it does set up the ending, so I wanted to mention it here. Next thing worthy of mention is the Computa Shave segment. The new model of the computer shave, which you've probably seen in hotels across the nation, uses computers and lasers to remove your beard, but the new model can also fire those beard trimmings back into somebody else's face to create a beard. They demonstrate this on crew member Eddie York, that's Y-O-R-Q-U-E Played by Edgar Wright and host Jack Morgan, uh including a computer diagram of the machine's inner workings, speaking about how joke dense this is, which labels things such as the hair sump And a lot of other parts, mostly misspelled or nonsensical, like the particulate correctioner. You know, he he grows a beard and then he decides that he doesn't like the whole beard, just wants the mustache, and then he's like stroking the mustache as the camera's Zooms in for like a good 15-20 seconds and it's just so stupid. It's the right amount of dumb for me. It's one of those smart dumb shows that I absolutely love. Now Between all the segments I've already talked about, they have parts of the Look Around You challenge every week. And this one is a guy who loves computers so much he changed his name, Computer Jones. has brought in his Bournemouth computer, a computer that is basically supposed to be like a whopper from War Games Tara 43:03 Yeah, yeah. Dave 43:04 or a Colossus from the Forbin Project, that sort of thing. In part one, we discovered that he, the computer, was used to help the British government create the negative currency featuring the negative 60 pence coin. And assisted police in the recent margarine riots. The challenge is if Bournemouth can escape the cage he's been put on on stage of Look Around You. Part two of the challenge is somehow Bartmouth fakes a phone call as if he was Computer Jones' creator that he's broken down and needs repairs. Clip 43:40 Oh no, wait a minute, I know what's happened here. Leave him in his cage, will you? What has happened? Well he's obviously tapped into your telephone system and impersonated my voice. Wow. Yes. It does a very good impression of me actually. Listen Bournemouth, say something. What would you like me to say? Anything. Uh Hello, this is Computer Jones speaking. I'm fifty seven, I live on my own, and I practice kissing on my Labrador. Yes, thank you, Bournemouth. Gosh, that is good Dave 44:13 So Bourmeth is forded once. In part three, Bourmouth has disappeared, but it turns out he just turned himself invisible. Clip 44:20 Well, I wonder what he's gonna try next. Excuse me. May I go to the toilet please? Nice try, Bournemouth. Dave 44:32 And then the last segment, part four, Bonemouth has lost the challenge. Or has he? Turns out he's escaped from Alcatraz himself, a paper mache version of himself, has escaped and is currently on the run. Clip 44:47 Hello? Hello there. Oh. Bournemouth, where are you? I'm in Bournemouth. Yes, we know that. What are you doing? Well none of your business actually, but uh I'm having a bit of a break from everything. Are you? Yes, and I I didn't want to be lonely, so I've taken the Petticoat five with me. Oh god I hope she's okay. Yes, she's fine. You can talk to her if you like. Hang on. Petticoat is for you. Hello? Hello Hello? Hello! Is that the Petticoat 5? Yes. I didn't know you could talk. Borden has taught me he taught me lots of things. Did he? Yes. Bournemouth, when are you coming back? When you stop interfering with gold. Goodbye. Well, oh he's gone. He's gone. So well, uh Best of luck to both of them. Dave 45:53 Aw, they're in love. I have a bunch of the visual jokes I want to mention, but I thought maybe I would this point I would just pass it off to you guys in case you know you want to stab at any of those that you uh happen to see. But in conclusion Look around you, a super smart dumb show that I absolutely love. Two seasons very different from each other, but very, very funny in their own way. They absolutely nail the aesthetic of this. If you ever watch, say for our Canadians Bits and Bites with Billy Van, you absolutely get the same vibe here. And I just absolutely love it. I laughed all the way through. It was pretty hard to choose between computers and music episode for me, but I had to go with my heart with computers because I am a nerd. So with that, I'm going to pass it off to you. Look around you, season two, episode five, computers. Tara 46:45 Thank you, Dave. Dan, you selected this from our list. Please start us off. Dan 46:49 Oh, look around, Yog, how I love thee. This has been such a top-tier TV show for me for such a long time, both seasons for their separate reasons. My personal favorite also. music and the Wat Diabloek and the 19 Forbidden Keys. It is uh just such an all-timer for me and this one uh certainly there as well I could watch Olivia Coleman rattle off fake Shakespeare titles in a pitch-down voice for hours. It's so funny and I think the reason, besides being the computer nerd that you are, that this one resonates even more sharply now. is the hilarious prescience uh behind some of the absurdity. Like, you can have a robot, John McInraw. You can have a virtual beach vacation. You can have a computer deepfake its own invent inventor. You can have a White House redesign go horribly wrong. All of those things are for you. Unless you think that there is not a universality behind this, I actually watched this episode with my eight-year-old who I thought would get nothing from it. And at Computer Jones's, I'm 57. I live on my own. I practice kissing on my Labrador. We all fell off the couch simultaneously in screams. I simply couldn't love it more. It is so incredible to also look back on the depth of the talent level and just be like, Olivia Coleman, what were you always doing here? Tara 48:17 Mm-hmm. Dan 48:17 Um, so yes, enthusiastic love for this episode and everything around it. It was a pleasure and a treasure to be able to watch it again. Tara 48:26 Congrats to you on the taste you are cultivating in your child. Dave 48:28 Yeah Dan 48:29 Thank you. Tara 48:29 My God. Sarah 48:30 Mm-hmm. Tara 48:31 I'll go next. We've watched this show a few times. I at a certain point had to stop writing notes because as Dave said, it is so joke dense that if you look down, you miss four Sarah 48:39 Mm-hmm Tara 48:41 probably. The way they repurpose Stock footage is delightful. This is a staple of parody shows like this. But yes, obviously the robot John McEnroe is like from B-roll about making a John McEnroll wax figure, probably, but adding the his Badly impersonated by a British person trying to sound like an American psycho Dave 49:04 Yeah Sarah 49:05 Oh, God Dave 49:05 I thought that was speaking directly to Sarah Tara 49:05 is great. Dave 49:07 at a very Jersey Sarah 49:08 Yeah. Dan 49:08 Yeah. Dave 49:09 New York Sarah 49:09 I Dave 49:09 kind of thing going on there. Sarah 49:09 I felt very hurt and seeing. Dave 49:11 Yeah. Sarah 49:11 Oh, absolutely. Tara 49:12 Yeah. I had misremembered that the last the Bournemouth replica was a cake, because it kinda looks like that, but I'm, you know, it's 2026. I guess I'm cake cake Dave 49:20 Recency bias. Dan 49:21 Everything's cake, yeah. Tara 49:22 pilled. Dave 49:22 Yep. Tara 49:23 Yeah. Segment with the s the owner of the store. And what Dave didn't say is that when he makes himself cry, imagining a computer program that does not exist, he's still sitting there without a shirt on. Dave 49:35 That's right. Yes, thank you. Tara 49:37 Um, so that's another great visual joke. But what makes this show so good is like there is not a wink to be had. Like everyone is performing this completely straight faced as though they were like making a show to be shown in a movie or something. Like they're all they've all mastered the exact Not just the presenter manner when they're like, you know, reading cards, but how they sort of awkwardly react when something goes wrong is all also feels very true to life for how things go on a show like this. And also the verisimilitude of the opening credit sequence with each letter of the title flying out and then they all get assembled in sort of different with different backgrounds and stuff is like it's just a little more effort than they needed to put in Something we talked about when we discussed documentary now a few months ago. It's the same sort of impulse of like every single detail has been thought through perfectly. Dave 50:32 Yeah Tara 50:33 And and especially for this when you know their budget had to be Sixteen dollars plus a negative sixty p piece like that to just figure out how they were gonna do all of this stuff as cheaply as possible and the way to do it is just like make it intentionally lo-fi Dave 50:47 Yeah. Tara 50:51 in a hilarious and very endearing way. Dave 50:53 The opening that you heard up top is just this preamble as if you're watching BBC and they're doing a in-house promo for Ant Miss Eve. Tara 51:03 Yeah Dave 51:03 That that British call that we all love. And just the moment where they're pitching a show called Britain's Most Beautiful Bottoms, and there's actually like a bear ass with a giant tan line on it. Was the funniest fucking thing about I watched it the first time, it was sort of the reason why this one got tipped over Tara 51:20 Mm-hmm. Dave 51:20 uh instead of music was the beautiful bottoms. But speaking to that, it's all just stock footage, as you were saying. Tara 51:26 Yeah, mm-hmm Dave 51:28 And the very last part that you heard where it's like football highlights at da da da. It's just a bunch of hooligans having a fight in the stands. There's actually no football at all. Sarah 51:36 Yep Dave 51:37 So just like a lot of jokes like that that are just like jam-packed in there. Tara 51:42 Yeah, yeah. Sarah 51:43 I think what sets this apart for me is the flawless timing of it, and I found myself wondering, like As he's sort of typing in look around Yog and then hustling around behind it so you could see the display, and then it reads out, Look Around Yog. And everyone's just like gulp, but then they just gotta keep going. The way that that is timed is perfect. It's exactly what would have happened on one of these magazine shows, which like there were Really a lot of them back in the 80s, like Ripley's believe it or not, that's incredible. There was a bunch of like kids cable stuff like it, like Mr. Wizard, Out of Control wasn't really like this exactly, but kind of and the timing of it and that very sort of bright, glassy-eyed presenter cadence that Tara referred to, but also the timing of These jokes, that it's just enough, it's just the right number of absolutely deranged alternate Shakespeare titles. It's just the right amount of wrong in terms of like they list the regions of the brain. At one point when they're uh when they're talking at the memory helmet, and it's very funny, it's like Sarah Sarah Bershan or something like that, and you're like Yeah, it's I mean, it's like just enough wrong and sort of funny in the way that multiply cross-translated instructions are sometimes funny, like there's just punctuation in places. Dave 53:16 The parts of the brain include the Broab, the Brimolini, and the Branus. Tara 53:18 Bro yab, yeah. Sarah 53:21 Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, yeah Tara 53:24 I think it's probably brainus. Dave 53:25 There's no lie in there. Tara 53:26 No, I know, but it's like brain anus. Dave 53:29 Okay. Sarah 53:29 Robot John McEnroe, I had to pause it. I was dying. Just the way that that was so badly it was a very like whatever Rocky III or Rocky IV robot bringing in the cake. Tara 53:41 Mm-hmm. Sarah 53:42 Bournemouth's resemblance to Carr, K-A-R-R, from Knight Rider, and his utter exhaustion with his human programmer is very funny again the cadence of that may I go to the toilet please Dave 53:57 Yeah. Sarah 53:57 just like no nice try Dave 53:58 Uh Sarah 53:59 that there's always exactly the right amount of Surreal, the proportions of it are also very good. Like when they go into the computer store, which is very sad and needs like one more light bulb inside the space. And they're talking in voiceover about like it doesn't just have practical applications like doing your taxes or organizing a funeral and then they're right into meeting this guy who's playing this game called Window Washer and everything about it is just overtly jerking off and he's like, No, I'm really getting up a good head of foam and then they just move on to something else and then his shirt is off and you're like Tara 54:33 Yeah. Sarah 54:38 Oh my god. And then and the graphics are very good. That this is the kind of thing that like you're watching a spot of horse fighting and you're like, okay, that's That's exactly what we would have marveled at 40 years ago that is now just like, is it even 8-bit? It's like 2-bit. Dave 54:55 You can't play it anymore because they originally did it in Flash, but BBC made a full diary of Dan game that you could play. And it's sort of like The bits you see in the show where there's a guy jumping over various obstacles in front of absolutely gigantic toilets, but also seems to be like an adventure game, like an RPG as well, because there's a lot of like decision tree stuff Tara 55:14 Mm-hmm. Dave 55:17 I'm a little sad you couldn't play it, but there is a full walkthrough on YouTube if you're interested. Tara 55:21 Amazing Sarah 55:22 I also had to stop writing things down eventually, but then I started again at the end when they were listing all of the finalists for their inventions of the week, which would be judged by Prince Charles, and then they just used B-roll of Prince Charles, who was like, he looked so young. It was amazing. Dave 55:38 That's a whole thing in the last episode whether he's gonna show up or not. Like all the all those all those things were from the previous episodes. Those all Sarah 55:44 Mm-hmm. Dave 55:45 there was a anti-cobble cream episode and all that, yeah. Tara 55:47 Yes, to help uh cobbled Rod Stewart. Sarah 55:50 So celebrity sufferer Rod Stewart.

Dave 56:12 Alright, so let me just go through some of the visual jokes we didn't mention. The one that's throughout this season that's stupid but like always makes me laugh is every time there's a guest Coming into the show they have to go through like twenty different vault doors that open up in quit succession. Sarah 56:26 Yep. Dave 56:26 Really loud sound effects. Makes me laugh Uh they got all these data bank factoids during the show. The one that made me laugh and this one is question, what is the only computer that is made entirely of meat? Sarah 56:38 Mm-hmm. Dave 56:39 Answer the salami 600 Sarah 56:42 Sure. Dave 56:43 All right. The last thing I want to mention is the games in the Gritoth Mega Mart. They are the bailiff. Tara 56:50 Yep. Dave 56:50 With the tag Sarah 56:50 Mm-hmm. Dave 56:51 light, oh no, it's the bailiff, very reminiscent of the bishop from Monty Python. Dot quest, space cabbage. Chaffinch Challenge, which is you controlling a Finch and the little copy on the boxes. Steer Chaffee through the Earth's core and beyond. And there's like a happy little bird. Anne Boleyn's Tapestry Workshop. Sarah 57:15 Mm-hmm. Dave 57:16 Car Park. Many enter. Car park. Dot dot dot. But no one leaves. This was hard to make out, but it was called Snobby and the copy in the box said not suitable for riffraff. And then the last one was Optician seeing is believing. Sarah 57:34 Oh, sure. Dave 57:35 Let's make this official. Dan Rogi, what say you for computers? Dan 57:40 I say yes. Dave 57:41 Serity bunting. Sarah 57:42 As surely as JFK was stabbed, my vote is yes.

You are hereby inducted into the extra hot Greekin' Clip 58:09 And a special thanks, of course, to our very patient and now Beardless chief technician Eddie York. Thanks, Eddie. Theddy. Americans love a winner. Yep. And will not tolerate a loser. Nope. Dave 58:26 It is time for the winner and loser of the week. Tara has this week's winner. Tara 58:32 I do. It is Count Scott Bacula. Blah. who is making his debut with the LA Opera in Candide, opposite Patty Lupone. Did not know he could regular sing, never mind Sarah 58:44 Wow. Tara 58:46 opera sing, so this was fascinating. According to this piece and deadline about it, he has previously been in regional productions of Manala Mancha in 2024 's Mr. Lincoln at Ford's Theater.

Yeah, Strange New Tara 59:10 So um Dave 59:11 Worlds writing crew in shambles learning this information too late to have them guest star on their opera Tara 59:16 Oh my God, you're so right. Dave 59:17 episode. Sarah 59:18 Oh no. Tara 59:18 Yeah Sarah 59:19 Yeah. Dave 59:19 And Sarah, who is our loser of the week? Sarah 59:22 Well, it's you know, crime is bad, whatever, but uh former reality TV producer Mary Carol McDonnell, now a fugitive from justice, who the FBI just added to its most wanted fraudsters list. I mean, there's really a lot of losers here, including the FBI that just made this list like this year. They are offering a one hundred and fifty thousand dollar reward for information on her whereabouts, which they are like she's believed to be here. She bolted in like 2017. She took like 30 million dollars. So I'm not sure she's the loser here. I feel like. Trump's DOJ is the loser here, and also that half of Trump's DOJ belongs on this list with her. Anywho. Tara 01:00:09 Side loser, the actor Mary McDonnell, who is not this lady. This is a different Mary Sarah 01:00:14 Yeah. Tara 01:00:15 Carol McDonnell. Dave 01:00:16 Well, speaking about a hundred and fifty thousand dollar reward, do you know what time it is? Sarah 01:00:17 Mm-hmm. Tara 01:00:20 It's gay time Sarah 01:00:21 What? Okay. Dave 01:00:33 Welcome back to Game Time. This is the fourth of the current season. Our scores are Tara with two points. Sarah with one point value guest looking to get on the board today. And today we are playing TV on the radio from John Connors, who earns himself a free shirt from our store at thrumethods. com. In this game, all three of you will be playing each question at the same time, panel style. We will need some paper and pens to make sure you are not cheating, because I believe you will cheat at any moment. I will play you a clip of a TV theme song. You will write down. I just got a note that said, fuck you You'll write down these three pieces of information. Number one, the name of the show the theme is from. I suspect you will get most of those correct for one point. But Note that all the themes are themes that use existing songs. They are not bespoke TV themes. So after you name the show, you will then write down your best guess as to how many plays that song has on Spotify, rounded to the nearest million Sarah 01:01:33 Okay. Dave 01:01:46 Closest without going over gets three points. If you manage a bullseye You will get seven points. Now it is possible in this scenario for two people to write the same answer because we are doing it. And if that happens, then that happens and we'll uh give everybody points. Third piece of information is yes or no is the song in question that bands or performer's most popular song on Spotify. So three pieces of information. The name of the show, the theme is for, how many plays it got on Spotify? Is it the most popular song by that performer? Make sense? Tara 01:02:22 Yes Dave 01:02:23 We got 21 questions, no gross Sarah 01:02:23 Yes Dave 01:02:25 growth equalizer challenge zones. We have a tiebreaker in the wings if we need it.

Alright, we're getting towards it. Sarah 01:30:53 That seems low Dave 01:30:54 Two more questions left. Here is your penultimate theme. Clip 01:30:58 My roots are planted in the past, all my life is changing fast. Who I am is who I wanna be Sarah 01:31:09 Oh Tara 01:31:09 Oh my God, this is so hard. Sarah 01:31:11 fuck Dan 01:31:12 I know, I yeah. Dave 01:31:14 There is a path to the show, even if you've never watched, I think. Tara 01:31:17 No no no I that wasn't the part that was hard. Dave 01:31:19 All right. Well, shots fired. Tara 01:31:20 Sorry, I meant I meant Dave 01:31:22 I hope everybody else got it, or they're gonna feel stupid. Tara 01:31:24 No. Dave 01:31:25 Tari Ariana, what's that show? Tara 01:31:27 Reba Dave 01:31:27 It is Reba Dan. What is that show? Dan 01:31:29 Riva. It's not heroes, that's for sure.

It was a meme on TikTok for a while. Of people using just the end of it, like Dan 01:31:42 Oh, yeah. Tara 01:31:44 a single mom who works two jobs, blah blah blah. So I don't know if that contributes to Spottis 5 plays, but in case it does, I went probably super high, 650 million.

Everybody's writing down the show, the number of plays on Spotify, and whether that is that artist's number one Spotify listing. Sarah 01:33:00 Oh, fuck. Oh, okay. Dave 01:33:03 Some painful decisions being made here by the looks of it. Tari Ariana, what's that show? Tara 01:33:08 The Dukes of Hazard Dave 01:33:09 The Dukes of Hazard, Dan? Dan 01:33:09 Oh couldn't get it Dave 01:33:12 Really? Oh dear. And Dan 01:33:13 Well now Dave 01:33:14 sir. Sarah 01:33:14 Uh, yeah, I had them Dave 01:33:16 All right, Dukes. Sarah 01:33:16 do boys.

Dan 01:33:28 A hundred Dave 01:33:29 Sarah? Sarah 01:33:30 One fifteen Dave 01:33:32 Tari Ariano, you're one million off.

Dave 01:33:38 Okay, now Whalen Jennings number one song on Spotify, Is It Good Old Boys? Tara 01:33:44 I said no Dave 01:33:45 Dan. Dan 01:33:46 I said yes. Dave 01:33:47 Sarah. Sarah 01:33:48 I was tortured about it, so I put no Dave 01:33:50 All right, here's what I'm gonna do. I want the no people to justify their no Tara 01:33:54 Uh oh, just because I I don't know any of his other songs, but it's Wayland Jennings, so I'm assuming that he has ones that are not from TV. Dave 01:34:03 All right. No points for you. Sarah. Sarah 01:34:05 Yeah, I mean he was a big outlaw country guy, and there have to have been ones, like, I don't know, he's not Wichita Dave 01:34:08 Yeah. Yeah. Sarah 01:34:13 linemen, but he must have had one like that. But I just don't know it because I'm from New Jersey and Dave 01:34:18 All right, here's what I was thinking. Sarah 01:34:19 We don't know these things. Dave 01:34:20 Technically, that is his number one song on Spotify. However, he did the Highway Man. with the highway men. And that was the original answer when I got the game, and I didn't really want to be a super jerk, so I thought if you mentioned the W Sarah 01:34:29 Right. Tara 01:34:33 Uh-huh. Dave 01:34:35 uh Highway Man, I would give you the point. Tara 01:34:35 Oh, okay. Dave 01:34:37 That is three hundred fifty two Sarah 01:34:37 Oh Dave 01:34:38 million plays Sarah 01:34:39 I knew there was a man in there somewhere, just wrong Dan 01:34:39 Oh Dave 01:34:40 to Dan 01:34:40 wow. Dave 01:34:41 Yeah. Tara 01:34:41 Okay, so does Dan get the point? Sarah 01:34:42 one. It was Dave 01:34:43 Dan gets a point. Tara 01:34:43 Because he said yes? Okay. Dave 01:34:44 Yep. All right. Let's hear the regulation scores Tara 01:34:49 Okay, give me a second Dave 01:34:51 Doot doot Sarah 01:34:51 This Dave 01:34:52 doot doot Sarah 01:34:52 uh game was fun as hell, by the way.
