The White House has been destroyed by an earthquake, President Sean Young is trapped under the rubble, and House Speaker Eric Roberts wants to take over America in DC DOWN (2023), a low-budget disaster movie from the most trusted names in entertainment, Tubi and The Asylum. We treated ourselves to a good old-fashioned "good movie movie." PLUS: How seriously should we be taking Trump's threat to annex Canada?

I kinda want to watch shark side of the moon now

Extra funny is that “President pro tempore” is a leadership position in the Senate. It doesn’t mean “temporary president” - in some ways Roberts demoted himself to take power lol.

Addison Hoff

As someone who’s seen dozens of The Asylum’s creations I am so happy y’all are covering this

The facts together that Kamala hemorrhaged voters in blue urban districts and lost the <$40k also underscores how cities aren’t Blue bastions bc they’re full of cosmopolitan PMCs, but bc their full of working class people.

I went to a screening at a not for profit theater hosted by one of our local public access tv show. It was a parody of Downton Abbey called Downton Alley they used taxidermy rats as puppets. After the screening somebody asked the film maker if they made this as a testament to what kind of trash people will actually watch and I saw his heart break in real time. Very upsetting.

Pretty tempted to support Canada annexation if we get the healthcare system and the socialist politics/film podcasters

It’s funny that Freeland was supposed to be the inequality czar under Trudeau. That’s the context in which I met her (and Gerald Butts!) at a DC confab in 2014. I was like ‘who the hell is this?’

some guy

"left nationalism" wtf why

Just thought I'd put this on your guys' radar, you might wanna check out Eric Roberts' little-known gem Past Perfect (1996). It's a Dirty Harry rip-off with time travel. I don't want to say more, but I think you'd find quite a few things interesting and enjoyable about it

When the British comedian Stewart Lee’s TV show was on Netflix, its description read something like: ‘Sharks are falling from the sky and no one is safe.’ Netflix had accidentally copied in the description of Sharknado and Lee never managed to get them to change it. He ended up calling his next live show Sharknado and basing the whole thing on the mix up.

FYI the Vietnamese name “Nguyen” is most closely pronounced like “Win” in English.

Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle: Reports of sharks falling from the skies are on the rise again. And nobody on the Eastern Seaboard is safe.

Fans of Extreme Dodgeball on the Game Show Network will recognize Geoff Mead as a member of the military team in Season 2

I really need someone to explain this Mark Carney fascination to me. He's literally just some unelected banker. The liberals all seem convinced that he's like charisma incarnate and I cannot for the life of me see why. Before Trudeau announced his resignation, the rumor was that trudeau pushed her out to make Carney the new finance minister, and there was all this reporting on how excited the Liberals were. Why???

Chris Sherman

I'm also pretty allergic to the term nationalism, but Luke discussed what this means in the Canadian context in the (I think) episode Final Offer, and it primarily refers to resisting the ability of the US to set the terms of economic policy. Obviously one might still have misgivings or pose alternatives, but I think it's pretty different from what has recently been discussed as so-called left nationalism in the US, at least.

Chris Sherman

Luke absolutely crushed that sign off.

Steven To

More accurately, it's pronounced more like "Nu-win." Thanks, I came to see if anyone else commented on this haha.

Tyler Sutherland

I unironically like The Room's piano song, it's good! Also, Will and/or Luke, speaking of bad films: have you gentlemen partaken in RedLetterMedia?

Johnny 5

I’ve only ever heard it like “Win” from Vietnamese folks, thanks for the correction!

Coco C

The way my heart sunk about 4 minutes in when I realized this wasn’t a Birdemic episode

Oliver Elliott

Because they are elitist elites who love elitism? The Carney thing is just another sign of how out of touch the liberal political establishment is. A banker! Everyone loves a banker!

Oliver Elliott

Look, I’ve spent a lot of time in the West Village, West Hollywood, and various other West places and I can tell you that you are dead wrong.

sinesynced

Even worse, an international banker with an oxbridge PhD in economics. I cannot think of a worse candidate for a time when people feel disconnected from and condescended to by the party of the elites

Ty Underwood

Can someone post the link for the AP numbers that were discussed around 15 minutes in about the election?
