271: Watching the Star Wars Holiday Special Every Day (Smile)

I can think of worse ways to spend my time.

I just watched that Joker movie and now every time I see the word Smile I think of that song that tells you to Smile all the time. You know, Smile if you want to, Smile around the world, the B-52s one. I’m pretty sure that’s called Smile too. Wait no hang on that might be Roam. It’s Smile, written by Frank Cottrell Boyce and aired on April 22, 2017.


Show-notes:


1:16 The wikipedia page for the City of Arts and Sciences has some pretty good pictures of the real thing.
23:31 Apparently soylent green is a cookie/wafer thing. Also the movie takes place in a dystopian future where it’s like the best or only food source for a bunch of people.
29:09 Here’s an example of speed reading words in the same place on the screen.
40:08 The 100 is a fairly new post-apocalyptic tv series.
41:54 Necropolitics by Achille Mbembe

Episode 52: Let Tarrant Into Your Heart Ft. Jim (Blake)

He just wants to be loved. I think.

Merry Christmas, we hope you’ll enjoy this rendition of “jingle bells, decomposing Blake smells, Avon took a bullet.” They’re all dead is what I’m saying, and frankly we had no idea when we started this podcast that Blake would fall on Christmas, which is really a rather fun coincidence. Fun might not have been the word I’m looking for actually, in retrospect. It’s Blake, written by Chris Boucher and aired on December 21, 1981.


Show-notes:


2:10 Where are you Down and Safe? Why have you not put out an episode in 40 years.
3:34 If you don’t already know, Distant Star was a proposed version of the B7 to be used in Series D with lyrics written by Vere Lorrimer. Thankfully it never came to fruition.
9:40 Check out our latest Trust Your Doctor episode, where we discuss the Wedding of River Song.
1:07:59 The IT Crowd is just some show. Nothing special to see here, just move on.
1:23:02 Check out Krynoid Podcast if you haven’t already. They’re great.
