Summary

Look, maybe we just needed a break. Maybe there's nothing particularly good to talk about politically in this moment of elected dictatorship. However, in this preview of the week's bonus, we talk about trash culture and the cult of super-smart drones, and as such we've reviewed the 2008 Ridley Scott film 'Body of Lies,' which is bad. Why does Leo DiCaprio dress like a podcaster? Why are there basically zero Arab actors in major roles in this film? Why is Russell Crowe such a weird Foghorn Leghorn ass guy? Listen to hear our takes on this, and much more. If you want to hear the full episode, get it here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/32498458

The Hurt Locker was nothing, if not,

like a masturbatory exercise in location shooting.

0:51.5

And this film is hilarious in the sense

0:53.4

that its Middle East location shooting is quite good, but it's everywhere else location shooting. And this film is hilarious in the sense that its Middle East location

0:54.6

shooting is quite good, but it's everywhere else location shooting is ridiculous because as we

will learn in this as this episode goes on, both Manchester and Amsterdam are actually in Baltimore.

1:05.0

My favorite part of that is something only I would notice. And that in the Amsterdam scene, they literally have just an American fire truck that they've painted the stripes that Dutch fire trucks have on.

You, you, I grew up in little Manchester, Baltimore.

1:21.8

Oh, God, it's too many accents, no more.

1:25.2

So it's a two hour long divorce fantasy.
