I am a big fan of "bad movie" shows. MST3K, Flop House, WHM, HDTGM, etc., but a few years ago I thought, "why not do the opposite? do a podcast praising hated, bad, or underappreciated movies." so I did.
the guest *always* likes the movie, and I provide historical context for the negativity. 😉

I dunno. Life of Brian mocked the Bible and that movie is very funny.
LOL -- Moskowitz wraps up his 5 minutes by asking Bondi what oppo she has on him, and he then gets out a whiteboard and marker to grade her
Bondi replies by saying, "there's nothing funny about mocking the Bible and holding up a Trump Bible. I find it offensive"

um, more likely she's just a sleazy asshole.
Bondi is clearly going through menopause. “…mood changes and "brain fog," often begin during perimenopause (mid-40s to early 50s) - along with irrational moods and temper tantrums

I saw that! it was an early press screening here in Philly.

Have asked this before and always like the responses. What are your biggest “I saw that in the first run cinema” flexes? Couple of mine:

Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993)
Office Space (1999)

I understand why people are exhausted by AI hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see AI doomerism as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.

she sounds like Burke from Aliens right after he's caught.
Lieu plays Bondi the infamous clip of Trump & Epstein partying together & asks her if there were underaged girls at any party the two attended
"This is so ridiculous," Bondi says. "There's no evidence that Donald Trump has committed a crime"
"I believe you just lied under oath," Lieu replies

Not to be relentlessly negative, but let’s enjoy ourselves a bit.
Who is the Dumbest Guy That Has A Reputation For Being Smart?
Musk seems the clear winner, so let’s say: who else might be in the Top 10?
I’ll start the proceedings with Ezra Klein, the Abundance boy. Not impressive!
