Been enjoying Trillbilly Workers Party a lot, and the latest covered Tarence's new piece for the baffler on the grift of appalachian revitalization. Haven't read the piece yet but it's here

I dont think I ever mentioned how endearing it is on Street Fight that they just rip bongs throughout lol

I love that the Chapo subreddit is now just an unofficial Trillbillies subreddit. (I became a patron a few weeks back.)

Michael Brooks (and to a lesser extent, the Majority Report) has p much replaced Chapo for me. none of the insufferable nerdiness, seems more knowledgeable, they're funny/not self-serious, and they're really good broadcasters and speakers, Brooks in particular.
― flappy bird, Thursday, 12 September 2019 20:46 (four years ago) link
yeah, I also prefer Brooks/MR to Chapo. I've never understood the lack of interest around here. I guess people find Sam Seder annoying.

the new premium ep is extremely my shit.the trump era has made most of these evangelical freakshows from my youth still hanging on seem kinda quaint but man when the these profoundly venal strains of American conservatism combine like a dumb horny voltron... đđ

I watched all the episodes of The Righteous Gemstones that have aired so far before finishing that podcast episode and... it's good

I went to a southern baptist elementary school from k-8 that used text books printed by this crew https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abeka and I'm surpised I came out of the experience in one piece.

Brooks is good (and I actually like the background people they have on there quite a bit ), and I tend to like the guests. I'm more ensconced in youtube world than podcast world though
― anvil, Friday, 13 September 2019 17:20 (four years ago) link
Matt Lech's podcast is good too (Literary Hangover)
― Muswell Hillbilly Elegy (President Keyes), Friday, 13 September 2019 17:40 (four years ago) link
On a related note, we talked to Jake Flores and Sara June of Pod Damn America/MeansTV fame(?) about podcasting as not organizing, that dang Joker movie, and the problem or relying on media to try to re-engineer the world

for real the last 15 minutes of "the righteous falwells" with them riffing on American-style Protestantism and the McBride/ Hill trilogy should be taught in every political âscienceâ and religion class in America.

between JFK and EWS they're the ilx film club lately

Wouldn't surprise me at all if Will or Matt spent a week or two as an ILX poster in the Bush years.

Which one is gabneb?
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Sunday, 22 September 2019 18:39 (four years ago) link
Chrisâs music podcast is a very easy listen though a little overlong and Iâm never going to care as much as him about the early-2000s NYC music scene. Tweeted at him recently and was happy to learn theyâre planning to do an episode on Playing The Bass With Three Left Hands

Virgil wonk Canada episode, not good
And Introducing... The Fall w/ Will, better
― Greta Van Show Feets BB (milo z), Saturday, 5 October 2019 21:54 (four years ago) link
i read a longish wonky healthcare thing by virgil once and it was not good
― flopson, Saturday, 5 October 2019 22:13 (four years ago) link
I heard the Canada ep but there wasn't that much virgil? The @getfiscal bit at beginning was by far the best of the ep
― Seany's too Dyche to mention (jim in vancouver), Saturday, 5 October 2019 22:59 (four years ago) link
Yeah, almost rendered the rest of the ep redundant
― Simon H., Saturday, 5 October 2019 23:08 (four years ago) link
I tuned out halfway through because Virgil was talking seriously about Trudeau so much, maybe it got funny again in the last half.

An update on the socialist truck driver running for congress who basically launched hid campaign on the subreddit. Pretty damn impressive imo
― Simon H., Monday, 7 October 2019 21:43 (four years ago) link
joker ep was pretty good - mattâs reading of the movie was the first thing that actually made it sound interesting to me

One of their best episodes. Critics are "pushing the culture button because the power button is broken". Did Matt come up with that?
― maffew12, Tuesday, 8 October 2019 11:41 (four years ago) link
The part about people looking at Matt laughing in the theater... yeah I probably would have left.
― maffew12, Tuesday, 8 October 2019 11:42 (four years ago) link
pretty sure drunk matt came up with it and yeah it is a very neat little phraseweird how much more i enjoy nick mullen when he doesnât have his cumtown persona on

Great ep
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 8 October 2019 15:25 (four years ago) link
I could tell I would probably feel most like Felix about the movie and probably won't go see it as a result.
― longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Tuesday, 8 October 2019 15:49 (four years ago) link
haven't seen the movie and won't until it's on cable but enjoyed matt's galaxy brain take. at least as its media presence is concerned, it really does feel like it's "about" the cultural legacy of, basically, how Ledger's version of the role took on the significance it did for certain people--rather than about the origins of the comic book character.
someone on twitter said that it was a "dorm room movie poster" made into an actual movie which...if you took it as a positive (which they didn't)...sounds interesting!
― ryan, Tuesday, 8 October 2019 15:55 (four years ago) link
I guess I don't give enough of a shit about joker, the cultural legacy of joker, comic books, or comic book movies to enjoy a movie like this on a meta level, so if it's not actually good I don't want to see it. And to me it kind of sounds like a sophomoric attempt at a character study maybe saved by a great performance. So maybe I'll watch it some day just for the performance, but I'm not particularly psyched to see it.

still finding Amber increasingly unlistenable
― Simon H., Tuesday, 8 October 2019 16:10 (four years ago) link
She makes really obvious points and often merely summarizes what prior speakers have said as though it's a new thought.
― longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Tuesday, 8 October 2019 16:13 (four years ago) link
I enjoyed this especially because I pirated the movie home alone last night and found it pretty unnerving and bad. Yeah it is worth seeing for Joaquin doing a lot with a little. It's an all around shittier "You were Never Really Here"
― maffew12, Tuesday, 8 October 2019 16:14 (four years ago) link
I misread that as you pirating the movie Home Alone for a second and was thinking, yeah, thereâs some class commentary in there
― mh, Tuesday, 8 October 2019 16:50 (four years ago) link
yeah, Joaquin is the fella with the shovel, right?
― maffew12, Tuesday, 8 October 2019 16:52 (four years ago) link
Matt almost made me want to go see this tonight but I think I'd rather just rent one of the Purges.

I like how Adam came up with the most succinct materialist read on it at the end

The Joker movie being enjoyed by both Mike & Jay from RLM and the Chapo round table makes me inclined to see it at one of the local beer theaters at a matinee
― Glower, Disruption & Pies (kingfish), Wednesday, 9 October 2019 02:32 (four years ago) link
I wish they woulda let Jen talk more but Amber talked over everybody
Matt not only supplied the most intriguing take I've seen about this movie but stopped Amber from another one of her Alamo rants
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Wednesday, 9 October 2019 02:33 (four years ago) link
Also something tells me Felix is going to stick with his âweâre trapped in the Mid-Aughtsâ bit for the next year at least
