Cecil's back for more Wright Family films, and Noah's flying tomorrow so the edit is done a little earlier than normal. Enjoy.

Such a early treat!

Timothy Addison

At least there were more people in this one.

Roger

The title along brings me so much joy!! So psyched to listen

KeepingThePlatesSpinning

I’m currently listening to and enjoying episode GAM300. Will do this one later tonight. Thank yiu

Charles Loelius

My spouse is a librarian and was struck speechless by -that- scene

Damion Damaske

I have to stop listening to this one, sorry guys. Nothing is more boring than "is this satire or not" conversations

Scott W. Davis

I miss the days when I could share Cecil's naivete. Because let's be real, none of this is intenteional comedy. Do we believe the Wrights are legit or do we think they're comedy geniuses? Come on, simplest answer.

Scott Lesch

Oh BOY! Their Civil War movie!!

Anne the transwoman

I strongly disagree with Cecil. STRONGLY. I cannot and will not live in a world where the Wright are aware of anything.

Athena Larissaia

I feel like Cecil has to give up a lot of those points retroactively just because of how bad the biblical tie-in is

RudeTea Rex

Wait where's the picture of the kid hiding behind the trees? Are we supposed to get show notes or am I completely missing something?

Skeptibrarian

All librarians are “above the truth”. It’s kind of our thing.

tsukiouji

Oh wow, an extra day early? What a treat!

Vincent Jorgensen

photo and poll! Come on Tim! Or maybe Tim is crazy buzy with PJ party stuff, then NM, Tim! Focus on the important stuff!

Markus Nävergård

it is in now way Satire. the Wrights and Neil Breen are not self aware enough to make satire. they are deluded

Grant Cosper

They aren't and neither is Neil Breen. #TeamEli

Talyn

Poor Cecil, still having faith in humanity after so many GAM's... Eli needs to deal with that, stat. Honestly, I'll believe the Wrights are werebigfoots in real life before I'll accept they're self-aware.

Lisorael

The acting reminded me of Aeon Flux, but that movie explained that all emotions were being subdued intentionally. This one is just the result of genuine blandness.

Denise Huston

"I need to take 9 pills not to kill myself," Eli, do we have the same psychiatrist?

J Meteor

Just found out Eli and I are best friends. Most excellent.

Cecil, I knew people exactly like these growing up and when I was in my early 20s at bible college. They are NOT self aware, they're actually so fucking awkward and weird because the ONLY social contact they ever have is with other weird, maladjusted people. They're dead fucking serious when they act like whack-a-doos.

PS - regarding eating half a donut, a couple weeks ago at work we had a few folks at our office from our parent company, so someone bought TWO DOZEN donuts, then by about 9am we discovered that all 24 donuts either had bite marks in them (and were put back) or had been cut in half, and the other half was missing. There was quite a stir over who the hell would bite donuts and put them back and who would cut them in half and eat basically a dozen donuts. It turns out, it was one of our co-workers son (who is autistic, and non-verbal), he had joined his dad in the office for the day and when left unsupervised for a while had discovered the boxes of donuts. Nobody would have ever known it was him (being non-verbal) but he threw up a giant pile of what was obviously donuts all over the parking lol. The banter about donuts at the end of the episode reminded me of that.

I just checked it out on YouTube. It has almost 200k views, but only about 1k likes, and the comments are turned off. And there are so many random moments where the audio cuts out completely. Oftentimes that happens when you use copyrighted material without a license, YouTube gives you the option to mute the copyrighted portions rather than take the whole video down. I think these idiots were using unlicensed content, and got in trouble with YouTube over it, lmfao.

Cecil's "I have a food in the oven" is my new favorite excuse

Flantastic02

Given how boring the most recent Neil Breen movie was, I think he has become self-aware much to his own detrement. The Wrights though, not a chance.

Flantastic02

Agreed. It's too good for this movie

Mainer here 👋 Bean Suppah isn’t just beans! It would traditionally have baked beans and brown bread, but it’s basically a Maine name for a potluck with mostly comfort foods.

Talyn

Yeah, kind of like listening to a kid talk about Santa. 😆

Kate Jay

In one of the stupid Dahmer things (the one with him as a kid), Dahmer is Dahmering (I mean he's being socially inept, not the other stuff) at school and some guys start laughing at him. Dahmer, lacking both the intra- and inter- personal skills to comprehend what it means to be laughed AT, plays it up for them as (very temporary) highjinks ensue. The Wrights (correction, "Wright's" -- thanks Eli) are like Dahmer. To the degree they have any self awareness, it's the kind your dog discovers when you go into your yard and find her doing zoomies with the remains of a potted plant. You laugh at the sheer absurdity of this crazed being. And round and round she goes, wild-eyed and reinvigorated by her audience, strands of half-digested foliage dangling out her butt.

Patrick Carr

Alien Sasquatch! The Wrights are obviously fans of The Six Million Dollar Man! All that’s missing is Bigfoot is bionic!

When Eli was joking about this being a 10 minute episode, the player on my car got confused and thought this was, in fact, a 10 minute episode. Needless to say, one of the funniest coincidences that coulda happened lol

Markus D

I think you have some sort of point there, though I was confused by getting to the end of the last sentence and discovering that you had made some kind of connection between "zoomies" and... "pooping"? Maybe your reference was too specific for me.

Paintmekala

No joke, my home town actually has an Apple Festival every October and it is, in fact, filled with homemade rocking chairs

GenXNerd_Eli.is.Keats

Ok so now we need to lobby for Chronicles of Riddick to be the Bonus- the whole series

Markus D

I can believe that the guy in the library was intentionally made to look crazy to them, but that does NOT mean that his dialogue was self-aware. I think that was just "they had a premise and they did it badly".

Markus D

I feel like the addition of bread only makes that BARELY better, since I assume that the bread is more-or-less the transportation method for the beans.

Markus D

It didn't make me stop listening, but I did think it was kind of annoying that Cecil was so on about it, especially since I like him otherwise.

If you thought bean supper was good, you’ll love the Vermont tradition of BEAN HOLE BEANS. Wherein the town gathers to dig a big hole (the bean hole), and then cooks a massive pot of beans in the bean hole. Then, after several hours, the town gathers again to eat the beans from the bean hole. This is an annual tradition in my Vermont town, and I have been told that both Mainers and Vermonters partake in the bean hole beans.

Kate Jay

oh I rarely have any sort of point. The connection, such as it is: When dogs eat plant matter they can't digest, sometimes they'll poop out fibrous strands of green stuff that stick to their butt (especially if they have a fluffy butt). It seems that having danglers attached can make them feel like something is chasing them or it just feels funny, and being a dog, acts as an additional factor that triggers a zoomie (along with the excitement of successfully digging up a plant for example). That's the connection.... The point, such as it is, is that the owner's attention when laughing AT the dog is also a cue for more zoomies, which is a certain kind of self-awareness; however, this doesn't mean the dog is enacting a social critique of the ridiculous nature of zoomies. The Wright's are analogous to teenage Dahmer or a dog with plant fibers dangling out their asshole; no matter how much they play it up, they still don't understand it. whee, I feel like there's something in that but if it takes that long to explain, the analogy really sucks :D

Kate Jay

Here's another one - we are reliably informed that Eli makes a lot of typos and spelling errors. If he then deliberately becomes more careless and creative with his spelling and typing, would we describe a document which according to Google docs is one long squiggly red underline, as a product of self-awareness? Arguably yes but that doesn't mean Eli can spell.

Spiked Nalgene

I want more of Eli's woman whose kid drowned giving a statement in the rocking chair. "and then, I came into his room-" and?! I need to know how he drowned in his bedroom!

Eric Esders

Cecil seems to have a hard time accepting some people just make bad movies. They always have to be self-aware.

Wandering Around The World

I think y’all are hilarious and wanted to support your work so I signed up to be a patron. This week I looked up the movie you watched and also tried to watch it. I got mayyyyyybe 7 minutes in before the sheer terribleness of the movie made me feel like my soul was getting sucked into oblivion. I do not know how you can handle watching these movies every week, but I admire your work even more. Thanks for suffering for our entertainment.

Talyn

Yeah, too much faith in humanity will do that to you, poor guy. 😅

Talyn

That could be a cool thing, you just need to include a little human sacrifice. 😆

Talyn

Hmm, are you a Bigfoot? You have to tell us, it's like being a cop.

Catboyslim

For weeks after I heard this I kept picturing anybody who had something uncomfortable to say would be sitting in an over sized rocking chair, ending their statement with “Weee! “ while rocking back and forth. “Our department will be downsizing…Weeee!!!!” “Welcome to jury selection….Weee! “Mom and Dad are getting a divorce….Weee!” Thanks Eli !

Catboyslim

Like northern midwestern hot dish.

Markus Nävergård

Sweet, innocent Cecil, only watching self-aware ironic bad movies.

Markus D

Honestly, my problem was just that it wasn't clear that the dog had eaten the plant, and I read the first part with the thought that they had just gotten into the potted plant and was running around with it in their mouth.
