LAM1018 - WE WATCHED A MOVIE SO CHRISTIAN WE HAD TO DOSE IT OUT IN TWO SITTINGS.

Thomas and Matt are joined by Lydia for Alleged, a 2010 Christian retelling of the Scopes Monkey Trial that somehow decides the real villains were the evolutionists. We've got Nebraska Man resurrected as a gotcha, H.L. Mencken slandered into oblivion, and a wildly invented eugenics subplot that never happened in Tennessee. Matt actually read the real trial history, so we get to find out just how much of this is "alleged" fact and how much is pure fan fiction built to make William Jennings Bryan the hero.

Alleged (2010), dir. Fenton Bailey (fictionalized Scopes Monkey Trial drama)

Cases discussed:

State v. John Thomas Scopes (Scopes Monkey Trial, Rhea County, TN, 1925)

Buck v. Bell, 274 U.S. 200 (1927)

Sending good thoughts for Matt and Casey to feel better soon!

General Contact Unit Problem Child

Yesterday I watched a video essay that talked about how its actually not particularly uncommon for even relatively big character actors to sign on to movies without having a clear idea of what the movie is actually about outside their scenes. That's presumable how the Daily Wire ended up with a bunch of big names in their propaganda movies, and I would assume how this movie got Colm Meaney. I just wanted to say that to make the point the fact he appeared in this doesn't necessarily mean he's secretly a creationist or something. its entirely plausible he had no idea what the film was even about while they were filming it.

Hoping congressional Dems are ready to rumble

Feel better soon Matt and Casey!! Don't worry about the missing episodes; everyone rest up and we'll see you after the election. I feel like the stuff happening right now is almost *too* vapid to be worth covering!! They're so desperate!!

The Nebraska Man tooth actually belonged to a peccary not a pig. There were no true pigs in the Americas before 1492

How did I get to my age not hearing the idea that the Wizard of Oz was tied to the battle over the gold standard with William Jennings Bryant as inspiration for the Cowardly Lion. I did a shallow dive on this and not all scholars of Baum agree with this conclusion. Some Baum experts say during his lifetime never suggested there was a political plot but that he wanted to write a good children’s book

I've heard a similar theory that Alice in Wonderland was inspired by a rejection of imaginary numbers into math.

David in Brooklyn

A lot of people, at least in my age group, know/knew Fred Thompson mainly as the lead Republican counsel for the Senate Watergate committee. His acting career came later, initially as a kind of "stunt" casting based on his being so well known from the Watergate hearings, which were televised in full and very widely watched.

nit: Colm Meaney's first name is pronounced like "col-um." I have a lot of Irish inlaws. I also double checked just to be sure. My inlaws also say "fil-um" for the word "film," so it's consistent.

Matt Cameron

that is such a strange thought to me, I know actors have to work but I would still think you would want to read the entire script before you took the job. But then again Mencken is also a great role, I can also see an actor jumping for it without asking too many questions. I wasn't holding too hard against him, just hope he got paid well.

VMLs last day as a GC is Oct 30 next project TBA

Also I replied to you because (1) you're my Patreon bestie and (2) I don't want to be weird but are you open to direct comms? If yes, I'll email Lydia and ask her to send you my email/phone number. If not, that's cool, too.
