01:24:44|Folks- you’re never gonna believe it, but we have yet another episode of Leighton Night with Brian Wecht where our hosts make a list, sort of. But that’s just a blip in the middle of the episode, we’ve also got discord drama, the origin of the concept of slapstick, the inexcusable sin of language being used incorrectly, and very briefly, in passing, a minor reference the groundbreaking music video "Shine On Me" by Chris Dane Owens.

01:36:55|Did you think last week's episode didn't have enough discussion of movie characters being horny? Yeah, that's what we thought. Here we are with another totally-not-stolen gimmick: this is a spirited debate on which characters in cinema history want to bone down hardest. This is a discussion driven by VIBES (not like that, you freak) and ENERGY. This is a discourse between two intellectuals who have a deep understanding about the perverts of cinema; an understanding that transcends mere explicit signifiers of this criteria. We've gone deep on this one; we wrote it long and hard and put it away wet. If you're reading any innuendo into this description, that's on you and you should talk to a therapist about it. Maybe YOU should be on this list, did you ever think about that? And some of these will SHOCK you. That's not clickbait; some of these are just genuinely dumb. Did you expect anything different from this show? Shame on you. Check out our Patreon and support the show against your better judgment at patreon.com/leightonnight!
