Eric The Bed Humper.

I fucking hate seeing Eli Roth in every fucking horror documentary. He always felt like a nepotism hack director. His hatard for climate change activities is shit smearing on the screen to the point there's a character that has exploding diarrhea that takes you out of the horror

Would like to see a green inferno episode

As a Rochesterian, I love the Cellino and Barnes shoutout

Given the recent attention to gritty New York City, I'd recommend the hosts watch the HBO mini-series THE DEUCE (from 2017). I know Will in particular is resistant to non-Sorkin, prestige drama series, but it's just 4 hours total (so not much longer than many prestige films) and it would press a number of his buttons, I think.

Re: Mamdani, it might be instructive to revisit what happened to India Walton when she won the primary for the mayoral election in Buffalo a few years ago. I could also see the NYPD mounting a good deal of resistance.

Why do 'Green Inferno', when you can just watch 'Cannibal Holocaust'?

The real nightmare scenario would be if he won the primary only for the establishment to (unofficially) throw everything they have behind Eric Adams in a desperate attempt to block Mamdani. That's more or less what happened with Bryon Brown, although Adams is way more compromised as a candidate in terms of his legal problems and dismal approval rating (even the NYPD largely hates Adams, iirc)

Ooooo if you guys do an Eli Roth episode, my vote is for Hostel 2, because that movie actually seems (or seemed?) to have good politics in a True Anon sort-of way, so I was actually (and I'm kind of embarrassed to admit this) surprised when Roth turned out to be a zionist to such a disgusting degree. Based on some of his movies, especially the Hostel duology, it seemed like he would've or should've known better, when it comes to rich people/countries/corporations exploiting others for profit and kicks, yada yada. It also helps that the Hostel movies are actually great, whereas I have no memory of The Green Inferno despite having seen it. I only suggested 2 because, if I remember correctly, its politics are very much part of the surface text, whereas in 1, it's more implied, or more about the selling/exploitation of bodies in general, with that parallel set up between the frat douches in the first half -- how they look at and treat women -- and the rich guys who later see them in basically the same way but for torture. So I guess either (or both!) Hostels would make for a great episode, but I think 2 is a lot more clear about its "eat the rich" politics, given you literally witness this Epstein-like network at work. And if you do any Eli Roth movies, I think both Mike Thorn and Filipe Furtado have written some great stuff on his work, though I wonder if/how their opinions on it may have changed now, what with his cartoonishly evil zionism revealed many times over recently.

oh and the fact that he apparently got the idea for the hostel movies after being horrified by the photos that came out of abu ghraib, but also now cheerleads a genocide? bizarre human being whose hypocrisy or selective compassion may be worthy of an unpacking that could shine a light on libs of that nature (most of whom would, ironically, despise his movies and influences, sight unseen)

I just watched Green Inferno - I hated it and I think you should do an episode about it.

Shane

Yes cover green inferno. The final girl tropes usage in contrast w the bad gender politics and racism would be great for this show. Turn that sorken laser at Roth.
