S2 Episode 44 - Karate Massacre Graduate Ending Sep 14, 2021

Show notes

Michael always liked Buck Henry, who he briefly mentions in this episode. He just seemed like a dry, funny guy who didn't take himself too seriously, as evidenced by his performance in, "The Player," in which he pitches "The Graduate 2." There's really no reason for us to be discussing Buck Henry at any length in the description but why not have a little homage for a terrific American comic voice.

And, as always, Michael Ian Black reads Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.

S2 Episode 43 - Our Father Sep 07, 2021

Show notes

This whole season is about creation...its possibilities and limits. There's no more appropriate Frankensteinian holiday than Father's Day. Obviously mothers do a lot more creating than fathers, but Mary's book focuses on big M and little M men, and so we acknowledge them today. Frankenstein reading continues.
