Loved everything about this one, but the proposed alternate endings to War of the Worlds was the highlight 🤣

If you want to talk about perfect segues, the way you reintroduced a certain phrase at the very end had me legitimately fist-pumping. Or maybe I was just that happy to hear it again, lol

I feel like the past decade of this pod was all in the name of doing “woke mobsters” better than Cum Town

The point about WotW being a more honest pandemic movie than Eddington is interesting bc it reveals how differently the pandemic was experienced based on geography and socioeconomic conditions. For someone working a white collar job in a major metropolitan city, it probably did feel like going insane in a claustrophobic space. But for other people, lockdown was a blip. I worked security in suburban Florida, and my life basically didn't change; the movie theater and gym closed down for a couple months, but I still went to work, shopped, hung out with friends, all masked up while other people ignored doing even that. So the vision of the pandemic in Eddington struck me as very true to life, if anything it's surprising to see the sheriff get the pushback he did

I did get COVID (I PROMISE I followed the guidelines but again not everyone else I had to interact with did), I called out of work for two weeks and my supervisors spent a day trying to convince me to come in anyways

I would enjoy being a Frank D'Angelo-level filmmaker, making films with faded stars: Kris Kristofferson, Armand Asante, Margot Kidder, James Caan... aside from the more sordid things about this guy, being a local beverage Baron, and parlaying that into filmmaking and a talk show, are recognizable ambitions that I would pursue with wealth as well.

Wow, top tier final joke in this episode from Mr. Sloan

Thanks for shouting out my colleagues at Air Canada. We experience a lot of wage theft at all airlines though only recently are we getting a crumb. The clock doesn't start until the door closes on the aircraft. Only through collective bargaining are we starting to see anything beyond the mere pittance of per diem we get from sign in to duty off. Like $2.25 an hour. The public support for flight attendants in the states and Canada have been great! Boarding is by far the most difficult part of the job so getting like 40% of our wages is a start. We've had arbitrary changes happen in our scheduling with the logic that is "well other jobs do XYZ". Then we say ok well then like other jobs can we be paid 100% of our wages from sign in to duty off? Silence from management of course. We are considered an essential economic engine and can be compelled to return to work though I believe we'd hold the line. I loved your coverage of how striking has become more difficult. Bleak at best. Anyways, there's my rant about my profession. I was well chuffed to hear you gents discuss this important situation. The government is too often bought and doesn't side with the workers. Indeed bargaining in good faith is farcical often. Thankfully, the general public despite being inconvenienced stood with the flight attendants. That's the kind of solidarity we need always. It's greatly appreciated and was nice to see it catch the government/corporation off guard. Interesting movie. I'll check it out. You had me at Canadian Tommy Wiseau.

The attempts at American Italian gangster style dialogue in this movie with their Canadian accents is so fucking funny.

Need more info on "notwithstanding clause" since 100% of my info on Canada and Canadian history comes from Michael and Us

It was incorporated into the constitution during the negotiations of the early 1980s, basically as a way of getting the provinces onside (because the federal government under Pierre Trudeau needed their support to get the constitutional package through). Ed Broadbent was obviously a big player in those negotiations and if you look up the relevant section in our book you can see our back and forth about it. It's certainly been used in ways many of its architects really wouldn't have liked, including Trudeau. - L
