Episode #427

Disclosure, with Meredith Scardino

We were super-excited to welcome Meredith Scardino, the brilliant writer of a billion comedy things, but most recently the creator and showrunner of the hilarious Girls5Eva. If you haven’t watched, please ask yourself what you’ve been doing with your life, then run over to Netflix to correct your error. We’ll wait. Once you’re done, you’ll be all the MORE excited to hear her discuss 1994’s Disclosure, a film that (in the words of Dan’s Letterboxd) “Begins as a dumb and offensive sexual harassment thriller, then wisely pivots into an offensively dumb techno-thriller.” But what do the other Peaches think? Listen and find out!

Boat Trip, with Alonso Duralde

Alonso Duralde, of our sister Max Fun podcast Maximum Film and many other projects joins us to discuss something that is, technically, a film, and not a pile of feces. But it’s a tough call! In honor of Pride Month and also Alonso’s new book Hollywood Pride, our guest pitched us some bad LGBTQ+ themed movies, and (in lieu of trashing some failed films with their hearts in the right place) we decided to critique one of the most retrograde comedies of the 2000s: motherfucking Boat Trip. Did we regret this decision? Ask us when we’re done crying and trying to wash off the stink.

The Flop House on The Novelizers

Dan and Elliott jack into the Matrix to hijack someone else’s podcast! The Novelizers takes a beloved film, gives each scene to a TV comedy writer to novelize, and then gives those scenes to a comedian or actor to narrate. Plus interviews with the people who (may or may not have) made the original film. This episode has a chapter WRITTEN BY DAN MCCOY and READ BY JOHN HODGMAN! It also features an improvised interview with some people who “worked on the Matrix” (actually ELLIOTT KALAN and DAN MCCOY PLAYING SILLY CHARACTERS!)

The Matrix: Revolutions

We’re going into the matrix this week, in honor of Dan and Elliott’s contributions to an upcoming episode of the very funny The Novelizers podcast, where comedy writers “novelize” part of a blockbuster movie from the past — Dan wrote a “chapter” of the original The Matrix (read by our friend John Hodgman!), and he and Elliott appear on the episode playing characters who worked behind the scenes on the movie. Look for that soon, but in the meantime, enjoy this flashback discussion of The Matrix: Revolutions, our fourth-favorite Matrix movie.
