Episode 6 - Bonus Sandwich on Mad Max Trilogy

Ben keeps his promise from episode one to watch and hate the first three Max Mad films. These films start out almost fun, and then become overwrought and shitty and then become fun again, but in a banal Steven Speilberg kind of way. Basically, they are stinkers, over-all.

0-8:02 Mad Max: Original Flavor

-0:58 be honest, Ben, it's not that you were bored, it's that you ran out of episodes of The Office to binge watch before bed and hadn't yet moved on to Attack on Titan. (psst... don't tell Gus, who highly recommended it as the only good anime, but Attack on Titan is kiiinda a big eugenicist nightmare, isn't it?)
-1:56 Wait, this is a movie about killing cops? Well, I'm sold!
-3:50 Art shapes reality
-5:48 excessive sandwich eating sounds
-6:05 cops getting their jollies
-7:04 did he just compare this movie to Jodorowsky?
-7:52 boomerang audio in reverse sounds IDENTICAL to boomerang audio

Episode 5- The Haters vs Inside Out

In which a different cast of haters drop more references to beloved children's movies than obscure philosophers, but only barely. Also, gender and scientific reductionism compete for what enrages us most, and people get deep about their feelings.

0:55-12:44 After the trailer
-1:33 gender, first outta the gate!
-2:22 Silas, awkward and disgusting, on my lap, writhing and snuffling like a pig in mud.
-3:37 scientific reductionism enters the fray!
-3:50 gender!
-5:04 Foucault name dropped.
-5:57 gender, pulling ahead!
-7:54 gender, with a commanding lead!
-9:24 scientific reductionism!
-10:08 Gus and Alice debunk tongue phrenology, complete with oral sex innuendo.
-11:03 Umami, the eight emotion.
-12:21 sounds like Gus and Alice need to devote their own episode to that sick Jennifer Lopez thriller.

Episode 4- The Haters vs The Visit

0-6:52 Pre-game Chatter, in which Ben asks Firehawk all the questions, hinting at spoilers
-1:25 Q1 are you hoping to enjoy this movie?
-1:56 Q2 Do you think it will fulfill those hope?
-2:28 Hater's spoiler: we will be hating Ex Machina sometime

-5:01 Q7 what is the Shamalyan-esque twist?
-5:35 Q8 what is your opinion of precocious white children who appropriate hip-hop culture complete with misogynist lyrics?
-6:37 LEGAL DISCLAIMER: this statement should not be construed as a real threat to burn M Night Shamalyan at the stake.

Hatemail: Did we miss an obvious weak spot in the armor of captialist cultural hegemony in a recent review?
