If you have not been following hilarious drama surrounding The Onion’s attempt to purchase InfoWars then you’re missing out. Look, it’s even being reported on the BBC.
Something that I did not actually know about InfoWars is that Alex Jones thinks of himself as a kind of prophet. Well, at least Tucker Carlson thinks so.
“He’s channeling something, I’ve asked him about it. ‘How did you do that?’ At length, during dinner on my barn recently. We’re talking about this. ‘How’d you do that?’ ‘I don’t know. It just came to me.’ And that’s real. That is real. The supernatural is real and I don’t know why it’s hard for for the modern mind, I guess because it’s a materialist mind to accept that.”
“That’s not a new phenomenon. It’s happened throughout history. There are people called prophets, and there are people who were prophets who weren’t called prophets, but there are people who have information or parts of information, bits of information, visions of information come to them and then they relay it.”
We’re in the wrong business, kids.
Anyways, we talk a little about some upcoming horror flicks, namely Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil and Mike Flanagan’s Clayface, both of which have trailers that are out now.
We kick things off by talking about the unlikely Game 7 victory of the Montreal Canadiens over the Tampa Bay Lightning but I promise you we get good and nerdy after that’s out of the way.
On this week’s Garbage Time we talk about how and why Eurotrip practically killed an entire film genre (and here’s the link the video that I reference), Jon watched Crank: High Voltage which leads to a deep dive into Jason Statham’s career and we wrap things up with, you guessed it, more hockey talk because the Habs are still in the playoffs and 66% of us love ourselves some hockey!
