Content

When you speak into a microphone for 600 episodes across nine years, you're going to forget a lot of it. So to celebrate a very special anniversary, Will quizzes Luke about some of the most forgotten-about episode in Michael & Us history. Do YOU remember that Jerry Springer starred in a movie?? PLUS: SNL, James Bond, and a brief history of Keith Olbermann.

Congratulations on 600 episodes!

The GoldenEye episode was the first I ever heard. I found it on the Jacobin feed when I was looking for something to listen to while doing exercise. Little did I know this podcast would melt my brain over the next four years and everything I saw would signify the end of history.

Ah, thought that was Keith Olbermann in the pic! Congrats gents! Here's to 600 more! Nyuk nyuk! Oh a wise guy?!Regards from Portland,OR

Luke, I'm glad you highlighted Corey Robin's recent activity. In my own experience, it's been useful for feeling some solid ground under my feet amidst the chaos. Facebook is definitely the place to follow him for the moment. I have an account with no picture and an assumed name pretty much solely for the purpose of getting his more regular thoughts.

Reagan Jones

Congrats on the milestone gentlemen! I also hope you will both check out Robert de Niro’s new Netflix miniseries ZERO DAY, which takes “politics, what a concept” television to heretofore unseen heights.

Jeremy Hawkins

Congrats on the 600th episode. I've been listening since some time in 2019 and I think that at this point it's safe to say that M&U is my favorite podcast ever. This morning on my way to a meeting where I'm helping organize an anti ice protest I was watching A supercut of all the Jimmy Durante impersonations in looney tunes on youtube. I didn't use to be like this. A cha cha!

Troy Thomas

Congrats boys! Been a listener since the first lockdown of 2020. Heres to 600 more of my absolute favourite pod!

Congratulations on 600 y'all! I came across the podcast years and years ago through the Jacobin feed, then fell off bc Spotify was awful with podcasts at the time and I couldn't remember the name, then rediscovered it after listening to Will's other podcast for months before realizing that the porn guy was the same guy from that political movie podcast. You guys have shaped how I see the world, what I believe the world should look, and how I attempt to engage with it. Thank you for all you do, and thank you for clarifying the Olbermann reference 🙏🏾

Congratulations on 600 glorious episodes, some of which I am proud to have listened to in full. On the subject of Jerry Springer, I spent much of my first bout of Covid watching episodes of Judge Jerry, with the man himself doing his own version of Judge Judy (maybe he was filling in?). He struck me as being a very nice guy!

Blank

Congrats and thanks, fellas! There was a moment like in the early 300s when I was worried about the legs on this thing but not for a second since then—M&U nation going strong

Chris M.

We’ve heard about Ebert, Siskel, Maltin, and now Roeper. Are there plans to discuss Joyce Kulhawik on the show??

Chris Burke

Congrats on the 600 episodes. I remember when you managed to get five yankee dollars out of me to listen to you hate on a Star Wars movie I kinda liked. Loving the Sorkin content and I hope Luke feels better.

Roger

A friend of mine once auditioned for SNL. He was reliably told by a person on staff that Lorne Michaels is as senile as Biden and attended to by a collection of young women making sure he doesn't cause any incidents.

Sam Schick

Congratulations on the milestone, this show has brought me much joy and has been worth much more than the yankee dollars I’ve contributed. A few things going on in this episode for me, I was sideswiped with the pang of terror of being old when you read the listener’s question asking “what is a Keith olberman?” You graciously offered the off-ramp that they may be a listener from abroad and might not be familiar with a cross-generational cultural figure such as olbermen, I choose that reality and not the one where I’m old. Thank you for that. I also just assumed he was still prattling on on msnbc to this day.

Lynch’s Zune

Omg props on the handle, Mid-Sized - iconic deep cut from M. Night Shyamalan’s 2021 joint Old if I’m not mistaken (an undersung joy of a movie tbh)

David

Great episode guys. We in M&U nation are going to need you to discuss James Carville's op Ed in the NYT (2/25/25). It's an all timer

Tom

Mazel Tov, guys! You helped keep me sane raising a 1-year-old during the Delta and Omicron waves and I haven’t regretted a single monthly Patreon fee since.

Jackson Ayres

Congrats on 600! I discovered this pod via the Jacobin pod amid the thick of the first, main 2020 lockdown. I had a newborn at the time (born Feb 2020), so I spent many late nights with earbuds listening to podcasts as I tried to rock him to sleep. The GoldenEye episode stands out as one in which I really got onto the show's wavelength, in part because I'm a huge Bond fan and, like many others, I grew up on the N64 game. I eventually moved through the back catalogue, and when I'd exhausted that I bought my first (and, at present, only) Patreon subscription. Congrats and onward, Will & Luke! Cheers to M&U Nation!

Coco C

Wish we got a commodified hangout episode more often :’)

Nick Playfair

Congratulations guys! I think the first one I listened to was the episode on Oliver Stone's movie "W". Here's to another 600 🍻
