9ES351: Wide Appeal

Really the only thing that stops us from being just like Jesse Plemons in Begonia is that none of us are beekeepers.

Waitaminute- Jon is a beekeeper. I guess it’s time for us to kidnap a CEO. This podcast is about to really take a turn. Hit us up in the comments if you’re a CEO who would like to be kidnapped by the three of us.

Anyways, it’s hard to get out to the movies these days and by hard I mean really fucking expensive. Factor in a baby-sitter and you’re looking at dropping $200 on a Friday night at the movies with a food-court dinner. I wonder if high-school kids still go to the movies for dates or if they’re totally priced out of that too.

We talk about a few other pretty recent flicks like Caught Stealing and Asteroid City and then Scott talks about a film that is definitely not that recent: The Long Goodbye.

Then we talk about The Pink Panther and how it might be one of the greatest theme songs of all time. Stay tuned for some future episode of 9ES where we rank the greatest theme songs of all time… probably.

Meanwhile on a brand new episode of Garbage Time we talk about some of the dumbest matches in pro-wrestling history including the infamous “Kennel Match” where a bunch of scared dogs just peed and pooped all over the place. I guess talking about things really going to shit leads us to (of course) talk about the Toronto Maple Leafs. There’s a connection there I just know it.

9ES302: Spicy and Deliberate

I wonder if 25 years from now we will look upon Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon with fresh eyes and realize that it is in fact a great sci-fi satire the likes of Starship Troopers?

I doubt it.

But for real, Roger Ebert gave ‘Troopers 2 stars back in the 1997. What’s interesting is that his opening paragraph might as well be talking about Rebel Moon:

“Starship Troopers” is the most violent kiddie movie ever made. I call it a kiddie movie not to be insulting, but to be accurate: Its action, characters and values are pitched at 11-year-old science-fiction fans.

You can (and should) say the same thing about Rebel Moon.

I’m a lot more interested in seeing Poor Things from Yorgos Lanthimos. Put a baby’s brain into a woman’s body and run around an absurdist rendering of old timey Europe? Sign me up baby.

Meanwhile – and obviously this doesn’t have to be said (but I’ll say it anyways): Queen fucking rocks. I get that they were so big and bold that to look back on them is almost like looking at a parody band like Spinal Tap or something but hot damn those guys could go. To watch them in their 1981 heyday on a giant IMAX screen with a crazy sound system was a treat.

Meanwhile over on Garbage Time – we talk a lot about boardgames and also the game of hockey. Professional women’s hockey. Keith got season tickets for the Montreal PWHL team and he took Scott to a game. It’s fun! We also run down some of the board games we’ve been playing like Scout, Psycho Killer, The Grizzled and Frosthaven. Also Scrabble. Scott almost lost to his kid. Enjoy the show!
