Episode notes

The chapter discusses the differences between Pulp Fiction and The Big Lebowski, comparing their rewatchability and viewing experience. They mention that some scenes in Pulp Fiction lose their initial impact after multiple viewings, while The Big Lebowski may be considered a perfect stoner movie. The speakers also share their preference for rewatching Pulp Fiction over The Big Lebowski.

It's Part 2 of the Lebowski vs. Pulp Fiction showdown. This time we focus on the Dude, Walter, Donny, and most importantly Jesus Quintana. (Nobody fucks with the Jesus). What's the ethos of this stoner masterpiece? Is it a nihilstic movie? A deconstruction of masculinity? A cannabis infused Daoist parable? And is it fair to compare these two classics from the 90s? Fair? Who's the fucking nihilist you bunch of crybabies!

Plus - trolling. What is it? Why do people do it? Can works of art troll their audience? And is there such a thing as a benign troll?
