We’re joined by Bryan Quinby to review Jerry Seinfeld’s new Netflix film Unfrosted, about the invention of Pop Tarts. We dive into this bizarre & joyless cultural artifact which is a parade of humiliation for the numerous comedians featured in it, and a window into the seemingly bottomless well of misanthropy underneath Seinfeld’s banal observational humor. A romp!Find Bryan’s podcast GUYS, a podcast about guys, wherever you get podcasts, and subscribe here: https://www.patreon.com/MurderXBryan/posts

Will & Hesse are joined by Aaron & Carlee of the Hit Factory Podcast to discuss two neo-noirs, 1991’s One False Move directed by Carl Franklin, and 1994’s The Last Seduction directed by John Dahl. Both explore the classic noir themes of evil, greed, lust & betrayal, with One False Move exploring the dark brutality of the genre, and The Last Seduction having sexy fun with it. Enjoy the 90’s Bills quadruple feature of Paxton, Pullman, Bob Thornton & Buffalo.

Alex is on today as we catch up with the weekend’s drama over the 2024 Eurovision song contest and ask which is more real, twitter or Eurovision (those are the only two options). Then, some disastrous new polls for the Biden campaign, Trump searches for a VP and praises Hannibal Lecter, and Bret Stephens & Gail Collins search for the true value of a commencement speech and decide it’s about telling kids to get off their damn phones.Check out WFYM radio: https://chapofym.podbean.com/

We’re joined by a former university administrator (who prefers to remain anonymous, though we have reviewed and verified their credentials) for an insider’s perspective of the current state of college administration, and a discussion of just why colleges and universities around the country are reacting with such extreme opposition and often violence to the ongoing pro-Palestinian protests. Topics include increasingly corporate university structure, internal bias against certain perspectives and student organizing, and the foreign influence over university operations.

David Roth joins us for a look at sports gambling’s rapid rise and infiltration of every institution of professional sports. We look at how it developed, who’s affected, the insidious exploitation of gambling addiction, and how the permissibility of gambling has extended to players in the leagues themselves. We also discuss RFK Jr.’s brain worm, and the crypto bracelet entrepreneur who gave the worst commencement speech of all time at Ohio State.Subscribe for David’s work at the Defector here: https://defector.com/Corbin Smith’s Defector piece on sports gambling mentioned in the ep: https://defector.com/sports-is-betting-it-all-on-gambling

We’re joined by Theda Hammel & John Early to revisit director Howard Hawks, this time look at two of his classic screwball comedies: 1940’s His Girl Friday and 1938’s Bringing Up Baby. Both feature Cary Grant in complete goofball-mode bedeviled by brassy women who refuse to give him a dang break. His Girl Friday adds the levity of newsroom hijinks while reporting on the impending execution of an accused murderer, while Baby brings us the hilarious light touch of Grant and Katharine Hepburn dealing with a live leopard. Theda & John’s new movie Stress Positions is in theaters now!

Will talks to Anny Viloria Winnett, a UAW 4811 ASE Trustee, Graduate Student Worker at the UCLA School of Public Health, and an organizer involved with UCLA’s pro-Palestinian encampments. They discuss last week’s violent assaults on the UCLA encampments, first from a group of Zionist vigilantes and subsequently by the LAPD. They then discuss the university’s response, keeping the movement resilient and safe in the face of such opposition, and some answers for all the media who want to know “why are you here?”

Riley from the Trashfuture podcast joins us to examine one of the few countries possibly even more benighted than our own, the dear old United Kingdom. After some brief remarks from Will & Felix touching on the ongoing incidents with university pro-Palestine encampments across the country (and we hope to do more on these events in the near future), Riley guides us through the UK’s slowly unraveling public infrastructure, domestic politics, and increasingly buffoonish elites.Find Trashfuture wherever you get pods, and all things Trashfuture here: https://www.trashfuture.co.uk/LAST CHANCE: join Will & Hesse this Saturday, May 4th for a screening and talkback of DEATH WISH 3 at Littlefield in NYC: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/chapo-trap-houses-movie-mindset-screening-of-death-wish-3-w-will-hesse-tickets-877569192077
