A.Ron and I come together in our free time this week to talk about a few things that we’ve been thinking about in the form of the opportunistic documentary “24 Hours: Assault on the Capitol”, the new Marvel show “Wandavision”, the continuing rewatch of The Sopranos, and Doom Patrol.
This week there’s something for everyone. We use Cuphead as a springboard to talk about the most difficult games we’ve ever beaten, try to come up with our top 3 movie posters, talk about politics and YouTube as ex-JWs, whether (and how) we track our TV / movie viewings, the fantasy future of bald move, and sports nostalgia from our youth.
This week we talk more about the gifts we received for Christmas, A.Ron’s sleep paralysis episode, investing in stocks and TSLA, a run on Bitcoin, the future of real estate, and much more.
There’s so much to talk about in today’s episode! Over the holidays we both dodged a pre-order bullet by waiting on Cyberpunk 2077 so we decided to talk about the pre-order mentality. Then we move on to TV and talk about more of The Good Lord Bird, Jim’s experience re-watching ALL of Seinfeld – especially the disappointing way the finale was aired, A.Ron’s thoughts on season 1 of The Sopranos and Ted Lasso, then finish up with our teleparty of Free Fire.
Our first lunch of 2021 starts off with a discussion of what we got up to during our time off and some of the gifts we got for Christmas. Then I go all in on a new NAS, we talk about watch parties, A.Ron eviscerates Chrysler with a scathing rant, we talk fantasy books and our reading habits, and more. And during the whole lunch, we manage to only talk a little about what went down in our Capitol two days ago.
What would Christmas be without a heartfelt message of cheer and togetherness? Elf starts out on a sad and lonely note, but by the end our spirits are lifted. Hopefully we accomplished the same this Christmas season with our podcasts. Thank you to everyone who has joined us for these past few weeks of celebration. Enjoy the final podcast of the season, and we’ll see you next year!
Christmas Lunchtime!
Thanks for joining us for the Christmas 2020 season. We’re signing off with an extra-large helping of LWJ&A, but you’ll still have our super secret christmas movie podcast and video review coming up on the 23rd. Enjoy! We’ll see you in the new year.
This month’s Patron edition of “Off the Clock” isn’t as much about the TV and movies we’ve been watching as it is about what we’ve been reading and watching on YouTube.
A.Ron’s discussion of Mank tells the story of the writing of Citizen Kane. Jim follows up with another Blake Crouch novel, Dark Matter. Then A.Ron talks about his survivalist YouTube obsession, Joe Robinet. And we close it out with a discussion of the shows we wanted to talk more about this year and those we’re glad we didn’t bother with.
The second movie in our Christmas 2020 lineup isn’t traditionally considered a Christmas movie but once you hear our arguments for why it most certainly is, we think you’ll agree. Join us for the podcast to hear our thoughts on the creation of modern buddy cop tropes, the bizarre music choices, (can a saxophone ever be used non-sexually) and party nog at your daughter’s funeral.
