I would never fucking do this show ever again. That's not true. I love you guys. All right Polly be we're thrilled to be joined in our third seat by a brilliant and talented writer podcaster producer Who's written for publications like the New York Times, the New Yorker, producer on Everybody's in LA, one of my favorite shows of the last year, the co-host of the legendary podcasts Girls in Hoodies and Night Call, the writer, creator and host of the wonderful podcast Heidi World, the Heidi Fleiss story, and soon to be writer, creator and host of the legendary podcast World, about the character Jenna Maroney from 30 Rock. No, that's wrong.

Please, why is Jenna Jamison? Please welcome back to the show Molly Lambert! Buh-buh-buh-buh-buh! And check out my meme coin. What's your- Lambo coin? I only do all of this to start the meme coin. Yeah, the Lambo coin.

I love it. Lambo coin. I thought you were going to say Jenna Marbles. I thought that's the Jenna that it was going to be. Honestly, a lot of stuff. Is it too late to change Jenna's? What if it's just, yeah, just be an all Jenna show? Yeah, I feel like Jamie Lopdus could do a good 16th minute about Jenna Marbles. She canceled herself. Yeah, I think that was like the best thing.

Jenna Marbles. She canceled herself. Yeah. I think that was like the best thing. She was like, hey, I have a lot to learn. And then she like left and was, I assume learning because she got quiet and that was amazing. I'm like, I've never seen that before. She's like the most famous person on the internet. And then she was like, oh, you know what, by the way, I did a blackface video and I'm

just getting ahead of it and canceling myself. Deuces. I did not know about Jenna Marbles. What was she famous for? Early on, she was doing front-facing YouTube videos, very early. I used to watch it. One of her dogs was named Marbles.

She had a few dogs and stuff. And she would do things with her boyfriend, silly little pranks or cooking things or whatever. She truly built the game. Yeah. She invented YouTube. Yeah. She's very expressive and fun and whatever.

I guess it was in a time where she did Blackface. Then as she learned and grew, she was like, hey, that was bad, bye, I'm not going to use my platform anymore. It's also she was like a white woman from Boston, blonde white woman from Boston. And then they- Skinny blonde white woman.

I think she got hired at Barstool. And then it's like Barstool has been trying to replicate it ever since with different other kind of like, hey, I'm a drunk blonde girl from Boston. We're going to put you in the Marbles spot. Put you in the Jenna Marbles. Yeah. Really good Boston accent.

It's like how The Daily Wire keeps trying to get Ben Shapiro's face on their other like-os. Yeah. Like Brett, what's her name? She looks exactly like the female version of Ben Shapiro. Yeah. It's kind of makes you wonder if they're AI creations or not. AI until proven otherwise.

That's right. I'm going to go ahead and assume that after The Brutalist, which is a story I have not looked into at all other than the headlines. Maybe we talked about yesterday's trending. It's so fucked up actually. All right. We'll talk about it today. Molly, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell the listeners a couple of things we're talking about today. Talk about the new Mission Impossible movie,

like almost giving someone a heart attack according to the director, just the history of movies killing people. Now we might talk about cult movies, all of that, plenty more. But first, Molly, we do like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Wow. Great question. I have been looking a lot at a Reddit for influencers, even though I

don't follow any influencers. I like to read people talking shit about influencers. Mm. It's like your reality TV. Yeah, and I was kind of following it in the last few days as they were, like, preparing for TikTok to shut down, and everybody was like, yeah, fuck them, they're all gonna have to get real jobs. And then they were like, just kidding.

Right. They don't. So these are then they were like, just kidding. Right. They don't. So these are people who like make fun of influencers or just like follow them, like influencers in the wild? They make fun of them. They sort of follow them, but it's like they follow them with hate in their hearts. And a lot of them are just super over consumption core. It feels like a symptom of a larger problem, which is that people are like, hey, these people are getting money the wrong way, which is like, well, that's the only way to get money.

There's only wrong ways, it turns out. Yeah. Why can't you get a good old job at Raytheon like you used to? You know, work a nine to five for a weapons company. That's right. We talk a lot about how social media, from a consumer standpoint, is designed to rob you of free will. It sucks up your time and attention and is all these apps

designed to influence your your behavior and subtle and not so subtle ways but like influencers are the patient zero of that like that yeah yeah it does feel like whatever you thought about social media consumption this is like the cigarette thing it's like oh okay you smoked all those cigarettes. Now you're gonna die. Right, yeah. Maybe it seemed fun at the time, but it was a bad idea. Remember when they were like,

Instagram makes girls sad? And we were like, no, what? That's crazy, no. Watching Influence, like I follow the account Influencers in the Wild where it's just like people taking videos of influencers as they're taking videos of themselves in like these really weird settings and like doing weird, weird things.

But yeah, just like you see it all the time. It feels very much like a Black Mirror episode. I never feel more like I'm in a Black Mirror episode than like seeing an influencer just like standing in a museum, like twerking on their head or something, you know? I did that one time, Jack, and it was to show respect for the Mona Lisa. That's right. Mona Lisa hasn't seen shit like this before. Yeah. I bet she hasn't seen... Yeah, we got to show... You know those videos of people like showing their dogs things in their house they've never seen before? We gotta do that with the Mona Lisa. I also think influencers like,

or social media actually kills in like ways that we don't even think about. Like I remember when I was in the Bay Area, like on Caltrain and stuff, they were talking about how people had taken selfies and fallen onto the tracks. Like that happens a surprising amount of time where people are trying to get content and then like fall off a cliff and like that's the end of it for them. That's also like a weirdly weird. The number one cause of death with Gen Z.

I know. No, I don't think. No, that's guns, unfortunately. It's guns. Guns all the way down. Yeah. And cigarettes again. Yeah. Are they, are they making a comeback?

Yeah. And they made a big comeback. It was like vaping. For awhile. They were way down for a long time and then vaping came back and then people started going from vapes to cigarettes. Have you guys tried cigarettes? They're like analog vapes.

Yeah. Just like you suck the, they hit so much harder and like you you can smell the stuff This is why I was so right as a child They should have just made better tasting candy cigarettes and then we wouldn't have had these problems Okay, just give people more candy It's a good note for the cigarette industry or they should have taken over the food industry and made the food addictive instead Oh wait, that is exactly what they do. That's also, yeah.

Molly, what's something you think is underrated? Underrated? Uh, God, I really didn't prepare this week. You'll be, unlike every other time I've been on this show when I prepared. What? Sorry, let me just get a mouthful of coffee into a spit can. Analog, analog television, I think. Just like watching a TV that's just telling you what you're going to watch and you don't

have a choice. Underrated. It's so confusing to my kids when we're like, oh, well, we missed that thing, that game or that there's like, what do you mean? Yeah, they're like, why can't I just take 200 episodes? They don't even know rewind. That's like a different, they're like, why can't I just take 200 episodes of- They don't even know Rewind. That's like a different, they're like, go back. It's not Rewind. Just start it over.

What are you talking about? Yeah, they can't just take 200 episodes of Bluey to the Dome anymore. They have to, you've got to be like, remember, we used to have to wait through commercials if we wanted to see our show. Yeah. I do want to thank the creators of Bluey for raising my kids because that's 200 apps to the dome is my parenting technique. Everybody loves it. It is pretty good. My kids really like advertising. I wonder if this is a thing anyone else is

seeing with their kids where they will, if I'm watching a sporting event, they will ignore the sporting event, but will ignore the sporting event But then when the ads come on they come over because they're like little little movies and also things that like they've never been exposed to Anywhere else, you know like video movies like little video ads are just like new like kind of a novelty to them I think it's interesting how new advertising sucks. but if you watch old commercials, that's fun. They're fucking great. Crossfire, you get caught up in it. Wow.

Do you remember that? That was a beautifully sung. Do you remember that? I do remember Crossfire. There's like YouTube videos where they just will show you like three hours of Nickelodeon programming from 1995 or something with commercials. The children yearn for the commercials. They yearn for the minds. Yeah, the commercial minds.

I think commercials used to be way more, I think everything used to be way more fun and interesting, and now it's just quantity over quality. I think it's good that it's not as gate-kept, but I also am like, I do have some nostalgia for some of the more connected shows or commercials or whatever. Gives your brain a chance to rest between, uh, blueies.

Yeah, exactly. So get a pee break. Yeah. You need it because that bluey stuff is dense. Get a little peanut butter cracker. The house of cards for kids. Yeah. They're going to start killing off characters in this next season, I hear.

We got pushed onto the train tracks. Yeah. No. The ads, the modern ads will start getting better once everybody starts just remixing old ads with AI like Coke did with their holiday commercial and then we'll be in good shape. I don't know. Did you see that, the AI holiday Coke commercial, Molly holiday commercial, and then we'll be in good shape. I don't know, did you see that? The AI holiday Coke commercial, Molly?

Oh yeah, I was so mad about that. It just- I looked at it and then I'm avoiding everything AI. I'm just looking away as quickly as possible. No, don't do it. No, my eyes. It's like the Ark of the Covenant. So many people fell for the Hollywood sign being on fire. It was crazy.

Oh, yeah. So my friends that I trust, and I don't trust anything that I see online anymore. I don't know. I feel like a boomer. I have no idea what this is, if this is real or not. Yeah. Isabella Rossellini posting that Oscar in the ashes of a house. Oh, yeah. I looked at that. I was like, this doesn't feel right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, say hi. She was like an image my brother sent me. Was it, oh, but it was really her just getting fooled by AI.

I assume so, unless she knew it was AI and was just, the whole thing was... Some people don't care. Yeah. Yeah, but there is always something, it's interesting that it makes your brain go like, hmm, there's something off here. Oh, let's talk about the Brutalists doing it. Yeah, yeah.

Oh yeah, the Brutalists. They like fixed their Hungarian accents with AI. Okay. And they did all the architectural drawings for AI. They were like, Adrian Brody. Really? So like a movie about creativity? Yeah. Adrian Brody can't. They were like, Adrian Brody. So like a movie about creativity. Yeah. Adrian Brody can't, they were like,

the Hungarian accent is too complex. Adrian Brody, he can try as hard as he can, but you can't just fake it. Have you heard the original accent that he was doing before it got fixed by AI? He was doing the Bane accent. He was doing Rastafari. The Rasta accent that he did on SNL. Yeah. Does everybody know the Rastafari?

He also put out a clarification saying that he wasn't booted. He wasn't banned from SNL for that. He's just never been asked back again. Yeah. That is so funny. What about the time he kissed Halle Berry without her consent? That still haunts me. I was thinking about how he's like the old school Timothy Chalamet. He's like a guy who plays artsy guys in movies and so people think he's artsy,

but he's just like a dumb white guy who loves rap. Yeah. First of all, for people who don't live in the middle of the entertainment industry, so might not know, The Brutalist is a movie that is one of the like three favorites for like best picture Oscar this year. Is that probably about right? It's like top five. It's supposed to be nominated for best picture.

They already, I think voting is over. So people were also like, Oh, this is coming out about the AI after voting is over already. Yeah. I think the is over. So people were also like, Oh, this is coming out about the AI after voting is over already. Yeah, I think the announcement is like happening soon. But but also, I guess it's in the credits. It like says in the credits that there's AI. To our AI overlords, we'd like to specially acknowledge them. Yeah. Thank you to AI. Adrian Brody didn't even know he was in the movie, but that's how much things to AI. Yeah, Adrian Brody.

Yeah. It's like a three and a half hour long historical period piece about a real architect that sounds like it's grueling. I think it's not a real architect. I think it's a composite of real architects. A composite of real architects. A composite of real architects. It's AI architects too? What the fuck? And it's sort of, I haven't seen it.

My desk does the Thanos snap and just melts away in front of me. I'm like, huh. It's all AI. I haven't seen it, but I've heard a lot of people tell me their opinions on it for a very long time. They like it, right? Like, I feel like it's- No, I've heard people, several people I know hated it. Okay.

Some of my friends hated it because they said the second part of it, which is supposed to take place in Pennsylvania, it's like he builds a city in the brutalist city in Pennsylvania. They were like, it was clearly Eastern Europe, not rural Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania and they were like, it was clearly Eastern Europe, not really Pennsylvania, not rural Pennsylvania. Nice try. I got to say, I'm just going to throw this out there.

I, I didn't see Oppenheimer and I'm my tolerance for white people filled movies that are three hours long is fading. I try. The other thing people are mad about about The Brutalist is that it's sort of about Zionism, but it's unclear what its take on Zionism is. Wait, how is that? Because it's like the characters are, again, I haven't seen The Brutalist. This is just other people telling me about it and me telling

you, kind of like AI. It's like about Holocaust escapees. He escapes the Holocaust and then he becomes an architect and then he is part of, he is a Zionist, the character. Oh. It doesn't, but it was unclear whether it was endorsing the idea that he's a Zionist or sort of critiquing the idea that he's a Zionist or sort of critiquing the idea that he's been traumatized so he becomes someone who traumatizes people. And then the director said something at an award show that made people think, oh, it's actually anti-Zionist. It's actually about how Zionism happens, but it's not endorsing Zionism, which I also think

people are really confused about. Oh, it showed something. It must be endorsing it. It is about this thing. It must be pro. Like, you know, the movie Taxi Driver must be pro taxi drivers. Taxi drivers. This is just an ad for what a great job it is to be a taxi driver. You can be a hero.

This is anti-Uber propaganda. One day your reignayn's going to call me. Also, the Adrian Brody SNL sketch, just for people who aren't aware of that. You can Google it, but basically, he insisted on doing a Rastafarian character. SNL was like, you may not. And then he snuck it in while introducing the musical guest. At one point, he did it as a Rastafarian character and they were like,

well, you're a bad guy. Didn't he wear a hat? Yeah, he wore a wig. But also what a weird choice. He just had this accent that he was dying to do. What a weird hill to die on. Yeah. Oh my God, I feel like he's so annoying to be around.

I feel like he thinks he's, you know those actors who think they're really funny? They think that sounds are funny all the time. I feel like he's one of those. My first job out of school was pool boy at the Soho house, the first Soho house in New York City. Oh my God, you slut, Jack. I know, I was fucking my way to the top.

Wow. And I waited on a number of famous people and Philip Seymour Hoffman was really nice and cool. I love him so much. And Adrian Brody had a little dog in his coat that he pulled out and kept it in his hand and ordered in the first person plural and was like, we're just not feeling ourselves today, but we do love. Again, I do think-

A voice and stuff. Original Timothy Chalamet, just where people are like, that guy is in smart movies about smart things. He must be a smart person. He's like a artsy indie guy. Then it's like, nope, he is a dumb dummy. He's an actor. So what is dumb about shallow? I know everybody's like People were dating Kylie and like I would say like yeah. Yeah, but there's no evidence that he's smart

No, just cuz he's in like, you know the what's that movie called the No way home. Yeah, he's just no, that's not it. That's a different Bob Dylan one. He's just bad. Completely unknown. That's another Spider-Man movie. Yeah, that's a nice one. I get Spider-Man and Bob Dylan confused a lot. Yeah, me too. They both have a secret identity, different name.

The real one has that voice. Bobby Spider-Man. Is that you, Bob Dylan? No, it's Spider-Man. I met Timothy Chalamet's sister who is on Sex Lives of College Girls at brunch one time because my friends and I just went to brunch and I brought my dogs and she was very nice to my dogs. Damn.

We are. I feel like Molly's met so many famous people and interviewed them professionally, worked with them. And so I feel like I'm just dropping the people that I met at the SoHo house 15 years ago. That's much cooler. My dogs met her and I was just there holding on to the leash. And you're like, we are very happy to meet you. I was like, yes, we are so excited. Yeah, Victor pointed out,

it's just because Timothee Chalamet was in Call Me By Your Name, he's in Lady Bird, he's in all these art house movies. So people think he must be an art house guy. He plays a dunce in Lady Bird. Yeah. Also, don't look up, he played a weird character. Played a dunce.

Yeah. It's mostly his super fan Club Chalamet. I love the Club Chalamet. I love this. She lost her house in the fires, so prayers up for Club Chalamet. But she was like really- She's also like pro Zionist, right? Oh, really?

She was also like, she thought that him dating Kylie was like a Psy-op. Like he's doing it with PR. Because she's in love with him. Yeah, but also because she's like, that's not his type. He would never date that type of girl. And she like cut him out of, she's also like way older than him, which is so funny. We're also like, have you ever met like art school guys? Like they date regular hot girls.

They don't necessarily date cool, smart art girls. That's what they're doing for in some cases. Yeah, he's an actor. He's just a bro. He's just a bro. He's just a bro. He loves football. He like everybody who's a football fan,

like he keeps going on these like sports shows and people are like, oh my God, he knows stuff. He really pays attention. By the way, convincing people that you know sports is the easiest thing in the world. You have to listen to two podcasts and then you're good. You can seem really smart on sports. Not saying he's not, but I'm just saying,

it's pretty easy to just steal takes. I watch inside the NBA now and I'm an expert on basketball. Yeah. I'm one of their foremost. Yeah. Give me, oh yeah, name three basketballs. Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.

And Molly was able to name three basketballs during the break. It was actually really fucking impressive. Yeah, it was Charles Barkley three times.

We didn't do an overrated. Did we, do you have something you think's overrated, Molly? Overrated, uh, email. I think bring back the postal service. Yeah. I love sending postcards and letters. Yeah. I would like, now it's like, I'm disappointed.

My mail is all junk all the time. I would prefer I get real mail and I don't need email. It's also 99% junk. Capitalism really just breaks everything, just ruins everything. Moves, moves. Yeah, so fast. Wait, let's just do it a little bit more and see if it works out. Let's just do capitalism.

I feel like we're going to take it itself. I was just thinking about how bad the internet, just like shopping for something online and that the first five results if you're shopping for something. Well, I hate now how they've made it. So when you Google anything, the AI results come up first. Oh my God. Yeah. Yeah. I have an example in today's episode of this. It's so fucking

infuriating because I don't ever and there's no way to turn it off. And people don't notice like people just because it looks like just the regular answers or like an article or something. So people I don't know and also like some creeping the Wikipedia Yeah, just if I information and scraping it and getting something partially wrong usually If we could like take today's internet and show it to ourselves in the year 2008 We would be like what happened? 2008, we would be like, what happened? What the fuck is this?

I think we'd be like, oh my God, we live in smart house. I feel like people didn't pay attention to that movie. It was ahead of its time. It's everything. You just have to like, I mean, there are tricks for getting around it, but it is by default just completely fucking broken. I have an idea to rebuild society,

which is to go take it back to 1999, the last good year. I think it's just Y2K rebuild plan. Yeah. But with the progressive social stances we have now. Yeah, maybe 2003. I think it's like, I want to cap it at digital cameras, yes, cell phones, but no smartphones. Right. Which seems to be the direction things are headed.

I watched this clip of Cameron Diaz talking about how she was on a press tour for Charlie's Angels with Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu, and they land in Japan and everybody's holding up phones and they were like, what are they doing? And the person that they were with was like they're taking pictures of you, they can do it on their phones and they all have like the realization at the same time that they like it's over for them. Like they'll never have a moment of peace again or be able to do anything without somebody knowing. Like they all discovered camera phones at the same time. Yeah, but then Cameron Diaz retired wisely. She just retired. She's back now, but she retired for a long time.

She did the Jenna Marbles. She was like, you know what? I'm good. Bye. I made the mask. I love that. Cameron is actually short for camera phone. It's just a combination of those words.

God damn it, Jack. That is, yeah. I still remember, I like pitch. for a camera phone. It's just a combination of the two words. That is, yeah. I still remember, I like pitch, I worked for my job after a pool boy at the cell house was like working for ABC News. And I pitched a story about like, how guys like we're gonna have phones, we're gonna have cameras fucking everywhere. Like think about how weird that's gonna be.

And they're like, yeah, I don't know, man. This doesn't seem like a news story. Get the fuck out of here. Yeah, I remember the first time I saw somebody use going to be. They're like, yeah, I don't know, man. This doesn't seem like a news story. Get the fuck out of here. Yeah, I remember the first time I saw somebody use a digital camera and show me like, look, you can see what the picture looks like. Yeah, right. Like, what? Oh, you can see it immediately. It does make you feel like we had to walk eight miles through the snow telling people like,

no, you had to go develop the photos. And you didn't know if any of them would turn out even like vaguely good or even just like you could see them. Some of them would just be bad. Yeah. That's so crazy because I was born in 2014. So like my mom, her ultrasound was an iPhone. Of course. You went to the 3D sound imaging at the Galleria? Yeah, 100%.

I'm always like, wow. Molly, thank you so much. Always such great underrated, overrated search history despite never having once prepared. It's always me looking around my apartment. Kaiser so saying it. Coffee cup. Oh, wow. For the second time in a row, coffee cup is underrated.

Underrated is chopped fruit I'm eating for breakfast. Chopped fruit really when you think about it. All right. Real quick, just a fond farewell to the Biden administration. For people as we're looking at this new authoritarian administration that is just- That we love and pledge allegiance to. Exactly.

A thousand percent. And also watching people's reaction to it because I do feel like it's been kind of interesting, surprising, terrifying to see the way the New York Times and other mainstream media outlets have really gotten on board. They will give Trump executive orders the benefit of the doubt, the way they describe them. They will just put them in the terms of the logic that he would want you to use. Look at how they covered the genocide in Palestine. They've never been a Democrat, liberal rag.

They've always been center right wing. Yeah. Wait, Jack said you worked at New York Times or you wrote for them? Yeah, I did work at the New York Times and I did have an article. Give us the insider scoop. I mean, it's like they don't want to change. I have known people who worked there who were progressive and who really were like, we're going to make it better, we're going to fix

it. And then you find out it's like unfixable on purpose and like not, not just by, not just through incompetence, which there's also just a ton of incompetence and no communication between any of the departments, which is seems crazy for something that is such a high-level thing. The Washington Post also got rid of the democracy dies in darkness slogan last week. Oh my god. Oh my god. Did it die in darkness? It did. I had a profile, I had an interview killed with a Flint water activist because they said it was too leftist

basically because she called someone who was responsible for the Flint water crisis a fascist and they were like, you can't, we can't print that. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I was like, okay, we'll take that. I guess we'll take that out even though she's totally right. And they were like, no, no, no, we're just, we can't run it. We're not running it.

We can't run it, yeah. That's fruit of the poison tree as we say in this industry. We are too afraid of these fascists. We cannot run this story. These fascists are gonna get us. Yeah, that was when I was like, oh, they don't. It is like, it's bad on purpose. And like everything is just money,

money, money, money, makes it bad. And they destroyed journalism on purpose so they could make it. So we all had to get our news from Instagram where they are gonna give us misinformation. Not Instagram. It's bad, y'all. It's bad. So are you getting a recommendation from your former boss?

You're like, hey, this is awkward. I hope you didn't listen to TVC the other day. All right. Shit. Another fire happening right now. So I'm texting. I know. I'm checking notifications too.

It's up in Lake Hughes. I saw it in front of me right before this podcast jump from 50 acres to 500 and then evacuation zones Yeah, so I hope everybody's safe out there know about you guys, but I'm literally texting my wife I kind of love when it's hailing fire, you know, it's different I'm so tired. Yeah, it's exhausting. Where, so, I don't want to doxy right now. Yeah, I'm not in Lake Hughes, but you know, just I think in general, everybody in Los Angeles is so drained from recent events that the inauguration was not even top of mind for us in terms of the hell world that we live in.

No. People are just trying to survive. I went to my acting class yesterday because I'm an actor and two of my friend's houses had burned down, like their family homes in Altadena. I think they're still in shock, honestly. Yeah, I think people are still in the processing. No one's turned the corner yet and it's still happening. So, but I was like getting work emails that were like, hey, hope you're alive. You're gonna hit that deadline and that- Hope everyone's safe, deadline coming up. Just tapping the watch.

Like I do feel like we should just be getting paid for disaster relief. Like I feel like we should all just not have to work and be getting money again, like we did during lockdown. Because it does feel insane that anyone is supposed to be working right now, because everyone is going through it. Yeah. It's rough out there on the subject of people missing the inauguration for mental health. I don't have the bandwidth to think about the Nazi salute thing.

It's just- Right. I wanted to ask that. Have you guys felt like nobody knows about that? No, I feel like it's all over the place. I do too, but then when I tell people- Is it a surprise to anyone? Huh?

Is it a surprise? Are you telling people in LA? Because I think all of LA is just exhausted on edge right now. Yeah, we're just sick and tired of that. I'll tell you- But I think other people are paying attention. Oh my God, this fire just jumped to 3,400 acres. No, please stop.

I'm so sorry. Oh my God, I just jumped to 3,400 acres. I'm so sorry. I'll tell you what I heard recently that this was before any of this was happening before the climate collapse or the inauguration. But somebody told me, somebody who is a first person source met somebody who works for, I'm not even going to say his name in case he's got some kind of Google name, the Nazi, that his plan, then he tells everybody around him is that they're going to colonize Mars by 2050 with a Noah's Ark spaceship, which will be full of, I am imagining, just white people to restart society. So I think the-

Him and mostly women. Yeah. Ocean gate, ocean gate, ocean gate. I was like, I mean, truly, I think that nobody has ever said, no, you're not, bro. That's not going to happen. Which is good. That would be good if you flew. I would love for them to go to space.

Eugenics? Yeah. It's just like their plan is straight up to use up whatever's left of the Earth and then abandon it. That's fucking awful. And go restart society on Mars. I do find some comfort in knowing that all their brains will shrink on the voyage to Mars and they'll all get this thing called space madness that people get along space voyages that they have not figured out a workaround for. I don't know. I am also much like the guy in the Brutalist.

I am related to a bunch of Holocaust escapees and also not escapees who did not get to escape. And so I have to just be like, well, look what happened to the first Nazis. I gotta be like, something bad's gonna happen to all of them. They're gonna be in the Hague. I gotta just believe that because anything else is too depressing. Yeah. Yeah. It's fucking wild. And as much as it's like everywhere, I still feel like it's not enough of a story. Like it's just so wild to me. Well, I think this is part of their plan, though, is to just exhaust people and, you know, as they say, like flood the zone with shit is what they say is their tactic. And so I think they want everyone to feel exhausted and overwhelmed. And I think it is just making me be like,

I hate social media. Social media is making me feel insane and bad, and I don't want to look at it. And we're all going to have to leave and get offline and meet in the park wherever it's not on fire. Right. Okay. I know we're not in the work of media part right now, but I will say something that made me feel a little bit better this week was I watched Roy Wood Jr. special and I love him.

I think he's very funny and also a good dude. And it was very funny, but also it had a really great message about connecting, connecting to people and like having community. And I think that's what we need to lead into. And that's the thing that's giving me hope. It's like how LA has come together and like donated all this stuff

and just like taking care of each other, you know? Yeah, that is extremely nice, especially because I like it's such a bad rap as a place where everybody's like, we're isolated in our cars and all we care about is show business. Not to say that I don't know plenty of people who are just like, what about my career? Right. What up? Nobody cares.

I've become a fire influencer, so I'm just taking selfies in front of the fires. There was some of that. There's an opportunity to monetize. I did see some videos of people dancing in front of the fires on the influencer subreddit. Jesus. That's like in my admire when the coup happened and that woman happened to be dancing in front of it. Oh yeah.

That was crazy. It was crazy. All right. Let's take one more break and we'll come back and hit a couple stories. We'll be right back. Lately on the NPR Politics podcast, we're talking about a big question. How much can one guy change? What will change look like for energy? Schools? Health care?

And so during a recent interview, I guess the last Mission Impossible movie is coming out soon. They're starting to show it to audiences and focus groups. Christopher McQuarrie, writer of Usual Suspects, director of most of the other Mission Impossible movies,

claimed that one of the members of an advanced screening almost had a heart attack during one exciting sequence, which sounds like just an offhand comment, but this is actually a marketing tool that movies have been using for a long time. The Terrifier movie bragged that they made people faint and throw up. Same goes with the Green Inferno. Did you watch the Terrifier movie? We went and saw the Terrifier movie. Had you watched the previous ones?

No. We just watched Terrifier 3 out of nowhere. I was like, what if we weren't terrified twice before this? We go in. It was the worst shit you could imagine from like a gore movie, like it looked like they were just like trying to think of like the worst things they could do. It wasn't even like the opening week and we and like eight people walked out throughout the course of the movie. I was watching it through my fingers. And I will say between like the entire afterwards, I was just like, we can't let white people keep getting away with this.

Like, why are they doing this to me? Like making a movie? Just, yeah, making a movie like, I'm like, we don't need to do this. Also, it really, like, with all of the violence that I'm seeing on my social media, like, it doesn't hold back of, like, who the victims are. So some of the violence that I'm seeing on my social media, like it doesn't hold back of like who the victims are. So some of the victims are children

and like I cried during it. And so like it was hard for me to watch that. And then also simultaneously- We can't let white people keep getting away with this is the theme for now. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

And then also- And yet they keep doing it. I was so horrified, but also I was like, you know what? That was great clown work. So I was like, give it up to the actor. He had some great miming, you know? Yeah. The premise of those movies, in addition to being like the most brutal killings imaginable on film. The bad, the slasher is a clown who has gone to clowning school. Yeah. Does a lot of silly gags while doing the most horrific violence to people possible.

I watched the original one and it is fucked up. It is one of the darkest things I've ever seen. It was the number one movie in the US, the terrifying three movie at the time. I was like, yeah, it blew up. So anyways, that one was saying it, you know, caused, caused fainting and stuff. There are actual examples where movies killed people and it became, I don't know if it was like officially part of the marketing campaign, but in 2004, a 56 year old woman was watching the Passion of the Christ campaign. But in 2004, a 56-year-old woman was watching

The Passion of the Christ and died of a heart attack. She's excited and she's just a fan. Right. Yeah. That movie is so fucking unrelentingly brutal. I've never seen anything like it. It is not a movie. It is just one long torture scene. It's fucking crazy. I cried for hours.

I was like a teen and I went and saw it and I cried for hours after. I was like, am I Christian now? What happened? I was like in Utah. I was like, I've been holding out against the Mormons for so long. Did Mel Gibson get me? This is what got your ass. Got a lot of people. That movie was a massive hit. It's for so long. Did Mel Gibson get me? Yeah. This is what got you. This is what got your ass. It got a lot of people. That movie was a massive hit. It's still so strange. Comparing the movie to its impact, what the actual movie is to the fact that it was a big box office success is so strange. It is one of the weirdest works of, you know, horrifyingly violent propaganda ever.

The other big one is Jaws. In 1975, during a screening of Jaws, a person died of a heart attack. And they like have it specified as like 45 minutes into a screening, a person died of a heart attack, which made me a huge Jaws fan be like, okay, so which part was it that did it? Like, was it? Okay, sounds like you're on the side of the shark's jack. I was. Like, so I watched Jaws, like, this was my original claim to fame as a human being. When I was like five, I had seen Jaws a hundred times. Oh my God, really? I loved Jaws so much. And I was like five, I had seen Jaws a hundred times. Oh my God, really?

I loved Jaws so much. And I was like- We're learning about so many of your Jaws. Pool Guy. A real Jaws freak. Yeah, Pool Guy. ABC, Jaws Watcher. Yeah, I was-

I saw Jaws for the first time like three years ago. Oh, what were your thoughts? I was like, oh yeah, it's fun. It's like a Fate Kitchcock movie. Yeah, yeah. Didn't give you was like, oh, yeah, it's fun. It's like a Fate Hitchcock movie. Yeah, yeah. Didn't give you a fatal heart attack, which is good. No, it's not scary. No, it's not.

It's just, I feel like it still holds up, but I also think Teen Wolf holds up, because that was another movie I saw 100 times when I was a kid. I love Michael J. Fox so much. He's so great in that. You were a werewolf guy? Not really, other than Teen Wolf from the beginning of the thrillers. Robert Eggers just announced his new movie is going to be a werewolf movie.

Eggers? Yeah. Bobby Eggs? Bobby Eggdog. Wow. That's exciting. Werewolf and it's going to be like all in Old English. Wow.

Ye olde werewolf. Oh, people are gonna like that. I also have a legitimate question. Are you a werewolf guy? Like, are you a werewolf? Was that your question? I should have asked. Are you a werewolf, comma, guy? Are you a werewolf guy?

Hey, guy, are you a werewolf? I'm a werewolf, bro, but I'm not a werewolf guy. Yeah. No, I, uh, you know, the beginning of Thriller is certainly a seminal memory for me, but I am not a werewolf guy. Wait, Jack,

in the document for this episode, you have an AI overview screenshot. Yes, so that's what I want to talk about next. About Joss? Yes. So about Josh. Yes. So I was like, I was like, oh shit, like what, which of the scary parts in Jaws killed somebody?

Was it the like, you know, there's one part where a guy's like hedge pops out of a hole in a boat. Another is like the shark, like literally pops a child like a balloon full of blood, like a child. Oh, God. Just burst. It's so crazy. I do not have time for that. Children, I don't, don't kill children in your movies.

Can I just ask people not to do that? We don't need to see it. Like, children and vulnerable pets, old people. Yeah. Yeah. But the shark eats both a child and a dog in the same scene in that scene of Jaws. Oh my God. I was very curious.

So I asked Google, like what scene happens 45 minutes into Jaws? I was assuming like there wasn't a great chance that I was going to get an answer, but I did. I got a confident answer from Google's AI and it is complete bullshit. It says in the movie Jaws, the most iconic scene around the 45 minute mark is generally considered to be the first full reveal of the shark when it attacks a young woman swimming in the water, often referred to as the orca scene where chief Brody Roy Scheider utters the famous line, you're going to need a bigger boat. So what they've done is they've collapsed like four different scenes

from Jaws. I was going to say that's like the first scene of Jaws. Yeah, the first scene is the woman swimming. You don't see the shark during that. The orca scene where Chief Brody says you're going to need a bigger boat is like the first time we really see the shark for an extended period of time. That happens towards the end of the movie. And- And then is it called the orca scene?

Cause that's not the name. Is that what it's actually called? The name of the boat is orca, but no, it's not called that. It's called the, we're going to need a bigger boat scene. And nobody calls it fucking orca scene, but AI so confident, so wrong. Like this is what Google is giving us. This, this is the internet that we have.

Can't let AI keep getting away with this. We really can't. It's so bad. This is, this is my, this is my turning point where I become radicalized against Silicon Valley, but it really, really bummed me out. Anyways, if anybody knows exactly what the 45, I didn't have time to buy Jaws and scroll forward. So if anybody knows it off the top of their head, hit me up.

Let me know what's the scene at 45 minutes that literally killed someone. I miss Shark Week being as big of a thing as it used to. I was obsessed with Shark Week. I mean, it's pretty big, it's still pretty big. It's still pretty big. I know. Are the kids living it up? Yeah, this might be one of those moments where we're like, God,

remember there used to be toy commercials? And then you realize there's still so many toy commercials. It's just they're not on the stuff that we watch anymore. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, Shark Week is still fucking massive. It's like, I think, only gotten bigger since we were younger. Like it's, they've turned it into, and I think it happens like four times a year also.

They fucked it up. They could have done more and better stuff with it, but they still go pretty hard with it. They're going to rename Pride Month to Shark Month. Yeah. But do you guys have, so Polly, it sounds like you had a visceral reaction to Terrifier 3. Molly, have you had like visceral physical like movie experiences? No, I'm not seeing those kinds of movies. Ah, fuck all that.

Yeah. There was one scene, like my, I had a reaction to a scene in Heretic. Did you guys see that? With Hugh Grant and his Mormon missionaries? I had to see it because I'm from Utah, so I'm like, I gotta go see how these Mormons are portrayed. And there was a scene where he, can I describe it? Spoiler alert to people.

Spoiler, heretic spoilers. Heretic spoiler, the Mormons were right. No, he pulls a birth control thing out of this girl's arm, and he's fishing it out, and he pulls out a vein, and I almost lost it. He pulls it and then lets it go back in. Juckeys literally had to give me water because I was like, I,

because I have a fainting disorder and I was like, I'm feeling like really hot and faint and like, because I could, you know those moments where you can feel it in your body? You can feel it happening to you. I was like, till this day, I'm like, I need water. It's too much. No. I came out of nowhere.

Yeah, vein stuff fucks me up. I'm avoiding anything avoiding anything fucked up. I just am watching Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. We need to talk. We need to talk. Yeah. And also, if you haven't- What's going on?

Oh my God, so much. Oh, it's incredible. They decided to have a Clear the Air meeting where they would each read the meanest text message they had written about someone in the group. Somebody read one about a girl where she said, well, she did marry that guy, pretty smart of her to marry that guy, the old guy who's got one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel. That was so funny.

That's great. So funny. Then another one was like, well, this was the meanest thing I could find. And it was like, I'd rather invite this person to lunch. And it's the one girl who like is never with it in the group. Like it's the one person that everybody's like, what the fuck is wrong with you all the time? Like she doesn't ever get the game or what's going on. Just the worst. Yeah. That's a fun game. Everybody should play with their friend group. If you are trying to cull friends, you know, you have too many friends,

too much connections with people, you should play that game. All right, everybody, let's read the meanest thing that we... Sometimes I search my handle on Twitter and the words dumbass, and it's always to like people who are being transphobic and stuff. But it's like, it's always to like people who are being transphobic and stuff. But it's like, it was from a very rough period of mine during COVID and I was going at a lot of people. Wow.

I'm like, you fucking dumbass. Yeah, but it was always like to shitty people. So you're looking for people that you've called dumbass or you're looking for- Yeah, I'm like, how angry was I during this time period? Then all these responses of me being like, you dumbass, just not even clever or whatever. I was just mad at racist and transphobic people and stuff.

There you go. But that's me searching my meanest texts, but it's tweets. I like it. Well, Molly, such a pleasure having you as always on the daily. Yeah, thanks for having me. Where can people find you, follow you? All that good stuff. You can find me.

Honestly, I'm trying to get off some of these social media things, not beyond them as much, but you can find me at molly underscore Lambert on Instagram for now. I have a book that just came out called Double Acts in Pop that you can order from commercial type. And we're going to be doing a live event that I'll be announcing more details about soon if you follow that Instagram. What's the name of the book again? Double Acts in Pop. It is a non-comprehensive survey of duo musical acts

centered around a long essay about the breakup of Hall and Oates, the 50 year collaboration of Hall and Oates, a contentious divorce between Hall and Oates. I started crying. I'm like, Hall and Oates broke up. That was pretty recent, right? If they don't make it, then who can?

It's pretty recent and they really hate each other and they've made a bazillion incredible songs together. And if you read the book, you can find out who's fault it is. No spoilers. I think I know who, but I have my guesses. Check it out. Awesome.

We love books here at TDZ. Everybody buy it. Yeah, buy a book. Good distraction from the hell world. Yeah. buy a book. Good distraction from the hell world. Yeah. Touch a book and touch grass. Touch grass with a book. Sit on some grass, smoke some grass and read a book.

Touch wood by touching a book. There you go. Molly, is there a work of media you've been enjoying? I mean, truly Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, the one thing that's made me feel calm. Yeah. Girl, we're like this's made me feel calm. Yeah. Girl, we're like this right now. We're like this.

Can I say what my media is? Yes. Yeah. Traders on Peacock, have you seen it? Oh, same, yes. I stayed up till 6 AM finishing the second season because I've just been watching. I haven't seen it all.

Amazing, amazing work. I'm really parsing it out slowly. Ana Postnier got me into Traders. I need to talk to her about all. Amazing, amazing work. I'm really parsing it out slowly. Ana Postnier got me into traders and- I need to talk to her about it. It's so good. Oh, yeah. We are traders, traders nation. Yeah. I think Alan Cumming should get the EGOT for traders. 100%.

All, every category. He does. Yeah. He should win an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony for his work on traders. For his work on traders. Yeah. He Oscar, and a Tony for his work on Traders. For his work on Traders. Yeah. He's technically on a stage for much of this. I wish he was president.

Yeah. He'd be great. Jack, in case, have you seen Traders? Do you know what it is? I know what it is, thanks to Anna Hosni, but I have not watched it yet. For those who are listening, it's like that game Mafia that you would play, like where there are a few of you that are part, like the traitors, and then they kill somebody every night.

And there's the way they, they did such a great job because in a lot of reality shows, like the seasons kind of get stale after a while because people know they're on like a show and then they try to like manipulate the show and the rules don't change enough or the reality kind of or the- Yeah. Yeah. Like Love is Blind kind of fell off. Surviving. Yeah.

But here they throw in, the writers are really good. They throw in so many different- New wrinkles. Tricks and loopholes and wrinkles and things that I think they update on the fly that it keeps it so exciting. So season one I was hooked and then season two I literally stayed up all night last night finishing because I was like, this is crazy. Wow. That's so fun.

Yeah. Great. Polly V, where can people find you? We know your media, but do we know where people can find you and follow you? On Traders. No. You, I wish. Yeah, get Polly V on Traders. I would immediately get kicked out. I'm so unlikable in those situations. I'd be like, you fucking idiots, use your brains.

Just not a people person in those situations. I mean, Tom Sandoval's on it, so you can't be worse than him. Oh my God, he's the worst. I am at Pueblo Veganallin, but I'm also going to be at SketchFest this weekend doing standup on Comedienne Clash and on Facial Recognition Comedy, both on Saturday. Please come to my shows, please buy tickets. The Facial Recognition tickets are running out. Go.

Comedian Clash is going to be so fun. It's going to be amazing with a lot of great people. Such a great show. That's the best. That's it. You get to watch a game show if game shows had truly the funniest people in the world on them. It's a blast. It's like a podcast, watching a game show, and watching comedy, like a live comedy show, all in one.

You'll have a blast. And Jacquees is the best host and it's also funny. Jacquees is so good. Because obviously, Zai Gang knows that he and I are together, but I also have to be professional and I always just want to mess it up. I always just want to slap him on the butt on the way up. Yeah, yeah. As he's introducing me to 400 people,

I'm like, yeah, baby, that ass. Look at that. Ooh, sweet ass. That's my impression of somebody admiring someone's ass. Ooh, sweet ass. Ooh. Yes. All right.

Some tweets I've been enjoying. Jason X. Inferus at Benedictus Red tweeted, I'm just glad my faith in humanity isn't alive to see any of this. Also, Gaz at Silent Garrett tweeted, I'm watching this movie, American History X. I'm curious why the main character keeps doing the, my heart goes out to you salute.

That is so funny. You can find me on Twitter at jack underscore O'Brien and on bluesguy at jack OB, the number one. You can find us on Twitter. Oh, you can find Miles on Twitter and bluesguy at milesofgray. He will be back in the not too distant future, still obviously sending a lot of love to him and his family.
