Episode #237 – Ishtar
It’s an emotional moment. This is the last regular episode where all three peaches will be in Dan’s apartment recording together, in the same space. It’s also the ten year anniversary of this dumb podcast’s existence. So how did we celebrate it? By taking a look at what was supposedly the worst movie back when we were growing up, Ishtar. Elliott vastly improves “Meet Dave,” Dan somehow misses some nudity, and Stuart talks about a “tug in his butt,” whatever that means. We’re gonna miss this, guys.

Ishtar is basically Spies Like Us, but with the comedy replaced by not comedy.
Btw: That’s not how this works, but I, for one, would like it if Hallie was the new regular host.
More empty-headed prequel griping from folks who think stuff like Guardians of the Galaxy and Logan are masterpieces, right on cue.
They are shitty movies that do as bad a job of telling their ostensible story as possible. Marvel aims low but at least hits.
So sad … Thanks for the 10 years! Keep on floppin’.
I got into you guys when AV Club mentioned your (then new) Oogieloves episode in a post and never looked back. I wish that your Toronto show wasn’t sold out. Make sure to make another trip up here, soon! Cheers to 10 years!
Congrats on 10 years!
Here’s a low-bitrate version of the episode for anyone who might need it!

Thank you.
Speaking of Stealth, whatever happened to that first episode?

Best of luck to L.A.ott Kalan.
Remember the hype about how the Aki model from The Spirits Within was supposed to be reused in other CGI features as a “virtual actress”? What a time that was.
