Pod Casty For Me

What if you made a movie that was really successful and then your friend directed a sequel people liked even better and THEN the star turned it into a live show with his name on it? You'd want to...let's see here...make a movie sort of imagining what if the character was actually the one who made the live show? Sure, why not! One thing's for sure, though - it better have Salma Hayek in it playing a rich woman named "Maxandra." We bid a fond "cheerio" to male entertainer Mike Lane in MAGIC MIKE'S LAST DANCE, Steven Soderbergh's conclusion to his unexpected trilogy, and we're joined by our very smart friends Aaron and Carlee from Hit Factory! As always with these two, our conversational cup runneth over with discussions of eroticism (and its absence), life after sex work, class, and ottoman humping. Terrific ep, we hope you enjoy!

Wait a minute...that's not ZARDOZ! Our friend and comrade Yui returns to discuss a different movie from the one we talked about last time they were on: Guy Ritchie's 2015 film adaptation of THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E., which emerged from the wreckage of Steven Soderbergh and Scott Z. Burns's abruptly canceled version. Why does Yui want to talk about this film? What does it (and its source material) have to say about geopolitics/Hollywood & Soderbergh's view of same? How tall is everyone in the cast? We answer these and many other questions within - check it out!

You voted, we watched! For our fourth Listener Choice episode, we dove in to Frank Perry's (and Sydney Pollack's) dreamy/nightmarish John Cheever adaptation, THE SWIMMER. We talk Burt Lancaster, country club types, the surreality of swimming pools, plus a VERY special report about Jake's recent journey to Carmel-By-The-Sea and beyond the gates of Clint Eastwood's Tehāma Golf Club...
As always, thank you to Jetski for our theme music and Jeremy Allison for our artwork.

Get your spooky old-time mask on, everybody: it's the NO SUDDEN MOVE episode. We're talking Soderbergh's 2021 HBO Max crime thriller and all things 1954 Detroit, Black Bottom, carburetors, becoming aware of your position as a historical actor, Bill Duke, Bill & Ted (different Bill), anamorphic lenses, apologizing while hitting your boss in the face, money flowing uphill, and lots more. Really enjoyed this one - check it out! And get rid of your car!
