New episode out now! We discuss the 2016 film The Nice Guys, about two 1970s \u201cinvestigators\u201d who are really just total disasters. We cover the excellent music and production design, how you can tell the actors are having fun, how surprisingly funny the movie is, and how it sneaks in commentary on governmental oversight and harmful carbon emissions. Katy tries to explain 1970s drug trends but doesn't fully understand the movie, Carrie is always low-key thinking about The Hobbit, Maddy initially thought it was about a telekinetic child, and Mack knows more about Russell Crowe\u2019s jockstraps than we really think is proper. We also channel our inner Tina Belcher, reminisce about phone cord limbo, stress the importance of vaccines, and discuss women holding positions of power in the justice department. One of us casually busts out \u201canosmia\u201d in a sentence but none of us know how to pronounce \u201cBasinger.\u201d We also have a special visit by a Bee Expert to discuss bee reproduction! Can you dig it?
