What a Hell of a Way to Dad

Francis has never seen Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Nate simply can’t believe that a 40-year-old guy raised on VHS cassettes hasn’t seen this. We also talk about playing music for your kids, the strange career of They Might Be Giants, and ask-a-dad advice on getting weird stains out of various surfaces. We hope you enjoy!

We're back with Tom and Shocks discussing the 2008 Colin Farrell film IN BRUGES, a singularly original film about an Irish guy who is ruining his own life for a variety of reasons related to... well, crime, the Irish experience, dealing with the English, European perverts, firearms, drugs, a race-war obsessed dwarf, and so much more.

We're back at it, reviewing the '70s-'80s hit TV series M*A*S*H and all of the elements that have either aged okay or aged extremely poorly.

For this week’s free episode, Francis speaks with friend of the show and Army Times reporter Davis Winkie (@davis_winkie) about his recent news stories. In particular, they discuss an emerging court case that might remove federal control over the state units. It’s of course related to Texas Governor Gregg Abbott wanting the state of Texas to be able to ignore DoD immunization requirements. It’ll be years before this could wind up in the Supreme Court, but the consequences could be far-reaching… and very, very stupid.   Read Davis’s article here: https://www.armytimes.com/news/your-army/2023/07/06/court-ruling-could-overturn-federal-control-of-the-national-guard/   Like Hell of a Way?

We recorded an episode about Pat Robertson's death, among other things, and realized that a lot of people might not know how much of a cultural figure he was—in addition to being a huge bastard. We've been told it's not appropriate to celebrate someone dying, but guess what? We're gonna.

For this week’s free episode, Francis speaks to reporter and academic James Stout about his recent experiences at the US-Mexico border, the ways in which the government is seeking to find new ways to deny people asylum claims, and the significant numbers of Afghans affected by the war getting denied their (legal!) right to asylum. We also touch on James’s academic specialization: the history of anarchism in the 20th century, and what future it might have in our time–which is informed by his current research on anarchist groups fighting in wars around the globe.   Like Hell of a Way?
