S2E17.5: A Few Good Men
Added 2023-02-02 00:44:44 +0000 UTCThis week we're joined by Komodo Dad from War_Takes to discuss the classic 1992 Legal Thriller that features Jack Nicholson yelling 'YOU CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH!'. Join us as we explain why Marines are a kind of Samurai, Why sexual harassment was actually a dischargeable offense in 1992, and just what it is that Aaron Sorkin actually believes...

2023-02-21 19:40:57 +0000 UTCMaybe legal dramas are the greatest exemplars of liberalism? Huh. I definitely think you should do more anyway so that we get more of legal Alice. Maybe The Rainmaker with Tom Cruise being the opposite kind of whizz kid lawyer? You should also do Toys just for the silly little military vehicle.

2023-02-21 19:39:50 +0000 UTCWhen talking about a movie made today that makes an earnest defense of liberalism and institutions, I think the movie you might be looking for is The Batman (2022). Particularly notable for the fact that the institutions of Gotham city are critiqued and violently attacked by the antagonist but Batman is on the side of liberal rules based order. Kay and skittles has a good video essay on the Batman, they might be a good guest.

2023-02-12 00:28:47 +0000 UTCif legal dramas are valid bonus episodes now, does that mean legally blonde is a possible future one? (please say yes i'm still so disappointed about that poll)

2023-02-12 00:28:21 +0000 UTCSame. I've been listening to the West Wing Thing podcast (which I only recommend in small doses due to how cynical it is), and this episode honestly feels like a breath of fresh air in comparison. At least here I don't leave feeling depressed and miserable.

2023-02-09 04:48:46 +0000 UTCyou must kill the Sorkin in your head.

2023-02-05 05:48:07 +0000 UTCI hadn't thought about this movie in a minute and yeesh it some of it has aged like milk. Also, thanks Komodo for acknowledging those of us born at the right time to be influenced by those big hopeful West Wing feels and the Sorkinisms. Excellent pod as usual.

2023-02-03 18:41:16 +0000 UTCI would love to hear y'all do A Solider's Story. Such an interesting movie full of incredible actors. Directed by Norman Jewison who doesn't get enough credit for an absurdly diverse body of work. This dude directed Moonstruck, Fiddler on the Roof, The Thomas Crown Affair AND Rollerball.

2023-02-03 16:28:23 +0000 UTCThe thing is, both TF and KJB are edited through Nate and the files are named in the same way, so whatever's happening is just Patreon itself being wierd
Its Devon Babeyyy
2023-02-03 14:06:56 +0000 UTCDevon, can you teach Trashfuture how to set up their podcasts to be as downloadable as yours, its so much less painful to get a KJB ep bonus ep, I don't have to rename the file and fiddle with whatever obfustication patreon dreams up.

2023-02-02 17:05:15 +0000 UTCSorkin is physically incapable of writing a tv show or movie where a woman isn't sexually harassed or her authority undermined

2023-02-02 13:35:13 +0000 UTCOk but this was in 1992. Stand By Me had Kiefer Sutherland in 1986
