A Seething Cauldron of Pop Culture
Not even halfway through the new episode and I'm compelled to comment!
ReplyDeleteI was in deep DGAF territory about "Kong: Skull Island" until the second trailer, and now I can't wait for "King Kong Meets Dr. Steve Brule".
I felt the same way, Doc - "I fell for it when I was a kid, but no WAY are you bastards De Laurentiising me a SECOND time!" But then that new trailer came out, and there was John C. Reilly, and here I was, reaching for my wallet...
ReplyDeleteJeff and Mrs. C. are gonna make me go pick Bones back up. And I'm okay with that.
ReplyDeleteI finished the episode, and while this one has fewer laughs than typical, STILL A GREAT DAMN PODCAST. Really sharp analysis of Rope and Compulsion, and who could have guessed that Scott has more highly developed gaydar than Jeff?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words, Doc, I'm very happy to hear you enjoyed it. As for my faultless gaydar, I've lived in Greenwich Village, Chelsea, and West Hollywood, so that thing has been pingin' nonstop since the Eighties.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if you said this, and I'm to lazy to listen again, but the speech by Welles/Darrow at the end of Compulsion was written by Darrow in a sense. It is excerpts taken from Darrow's closing, I believe.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea the speech quoted from Darrow's closing statement. Now I'm more impressed with the movie and more impressed with Darrow, since that was a remarkably eloquent piece of writing. Thanks, lawguy.
