in this episode Josh and Chuck completely miss the mark in terms of recognizing a feminist movement and also fail to realize how much woke culture IS the "unconscious idea," corrupting great story telling. They are so leftist can't even see it in films and instead try to point out "all doctors are male."
Should we take a break? Yeah we should.
stupid little
marissa
I appreciated Josh mentioning "Tom Green", the YA author, but his name is actually John Green. 😊
why do Josh's affirmations sound so weird in this episode? lol
Totally agree about The Professional. I saw it when it was new and I'd never seen Natalie Portman. I already knew I adored Jean Reno, but wept over their innocent, powerful relationship in that movie. I've watched it uncounted times, among bouts of watching La Femme Nikita - the original French version, which is very different yet oddly similar...I could watch them over and over
I loved how he told the tale in that song. Mr. Lightfoot, rest gently.
Gordon Lightfoot died two days ago (5/1/2023) at 81 years old. Such a shame he will be missed.
Stuff YOU should know. Intelligence Agencies killed MLK. Bin Laden died peacefully at home. U.S knew where he was the whole time.
During the manhunt for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, after the confrontation/shootout with police in Watertown where his brother was killed and Dzhokhar coldly ran over his brother's dying body, the authorities were sweeping the neighborhoods in large groups wearing body armor and carrying rifles, and even used armored vehicles. It was incredibly eerie and felt like living in a warzone. We gave them bottles of water and let several use our bathrooms. But anyway, the authorities had asked the public to ensure their sheds, basements, RVs, etc. were secure and the man whose boat in which the bomber was hiding decided to check and noticed a bloodtrail which led him to quickly call the police.
What is up with Josh's audio?! It's yucking the yum.
Great botox commercial.
