Next Episode: Mister Roberts

Ed's Notes: In his recommendation, Trevor mentions that he saw Fat Ham a few weeks ago and that's where he caught the flu. That's probably not true, but he did see Fat Ham just the day before getting sick and a fair few days before recording. He still appreciates the enthusiasm of his fellow audience members and does not blame them for a very long weekend.

Ed's Notes: 1) Kombucha (short film) on Youtube 2) Muffy Film Productions 3) Charade in the Criterion Collection

The Writer's Cut Note on Kombucha: "Kombucha is a delightfully irreverent romp through a bio-capitalist world of modern business. Underachieving liberal arts majors with dreams of stardom can finally see themselves represented on the silver screen. Jake Myers and Geoff Bakken have built a world scarily familiar to anyone that has spent time in a bland glass tower in the trendiest neighborhood in town where 'work-life balance' is just a buzzword. Just as the Aliens of They Live! wanted us to Consume, Kombucha’s chief villain preaches its flavorful fermentations as the key to a higher plane of existence-as-productivity. Kombucha gives the anti-capitalists among us a modern fear for a modern age and will make anyone else wary of grabbing that mysterious bottle out of the office fridge.”
