The Worst Idea Of All Time
AJLT S02E11 w/ Alice Snedden
•
Cue up Andrea Bocelli's Time to Say Goodbye, because this eleven-episode dalliance with old friends and enemies is coming to its inevitable conclusion. What better way to see off the gals than with a hallowed friend of the podcast, Alice Snedden!
All of Carrie's friends, new and old (mostly new), pack into her old apartment to remind us who has been introduced to the series and just how insufferable they are. Alice and the lads speculate as to who they would most and least like to sit beside, and even borrow some of Carrie's party games. Alice discusses relationships, both her own and those of the boys, birthing the concept for a hot new talk show for her to host. Kim Cattrall makes her long-awaited (and very isolated) return to the series, prompting speculation as to just how much she raked in for what was likely an hour-long shoot.
The only thing more stuffed than the And Just Like That finale is this episode of the pod.

Good Times: 04
31:59|Where were you on the morning of Saturday, September 7th (Friday the 6th if you’re a Substack member)? Here to serve as your alibi, an interrogative episode of Good Times, The Hon. Guy A.H. Montgomery and Timothy A. Batt presiding. Guy has been reading a lot of detective novels and is in an interrogative mood (also caused in part by another book he’s read, Padgett Powell’s “The Interrogative Mood.”) Tim, meanwhile, is full of answers, bringing some hot, current pop culture takes on the woke mind virus and the Kendrick v Drake beef.Our intro music, “Los Angeles,” courtesy of Eyeliner.Get episodes early and in video on our Substack!

31:29|Just as time comes for us all, so has it come for this third episode of Good Times.

Cats 2: Unauthorized (fixed)
55:50|UPDATE: The original audio for this episode was not good. Hopefully it now is good!It has been brought to Tim and Guy's attention that a group of Americans have taken it upon themselves to create a sequel to Cats, a spiritual succession (or at least response) to Tom Hooper's 2019 horror film. The movie is incredible - an artistic marathon that was birthed from the pandemic lockdowns and now exists in all its live-action, animated, puppeted, all-singing and all-dancing glory on YouTube dot com.See Cats 2 in all its wonder at cats2.art
Family Time 12
37:49|New Zealand launches an opening salvo in the Comedy Olympics, as Tim and Guy ponder standup’s answer to the unrepeatable performance of Simone Biles. The boyz stare down the barrel of their loosening grip on pop culture, their attention taken up instead by questions about the origin of smell and moisture-wicking fabric. Regular Family Time segment, “What Were We Doing 1-3 Years Ago, When This Email Was Sent?” reveals some stunning serendipity.Find more on our Substack!
