So I always dreamed of having a man cave, but the wife doesn't like it.

What if I called it a woman cave?

Okay, so let's not do that, but add some relaxing lighting and a comfy IKEA Hofberg Ottoman, and now it's a cozy retreat.

Nice, a cozy retreat.

Muscle-bound hunks, Craven leads the Me Too movement, and we are joined by Jason Manzukas.

All this and more on today's Last Looks.

Wait, I'm here too?

Hit the theme.

And it keeps up.

There were always frogs.

Can't explain my book.

I got to give it up.

And I missed off.

Got a movie that falls.

Tyrion's not on this movie's next stop.

But let's talk.

Hello, all my Tony Bennett and John Goodman impersonators.

It's me, Paul Scheer, and today I am joined by Mr.

Jason Manzukis.

Jason.

Well, well, well, well, here we go.

Back in action.

Can you believe it?

I cannot.

I'm excited that we are joining together to look through Last Looks because we got a lot of big stuff today.

I also just want to call out that the Toronto show is almost sold out.

I'm excited for people to go.

And people have been asking, what movie are you doing?

And since it's been a long time, Toronto, we wanted to bring you something good.

We are doing the musical with Sylvester Stallone called Oscar.

Wait, he's done multiple.

We did one with Dolly Parton.

I think Molly said earlier it's not actually a musical.

Yeah, it says, it's a screwball, not a musical.

Oh, screwball.

Okay, well, look, here's the thing: screwball musical.

Okay, I just, you saw me just have a panic attack.

Well, the idea that I would have to endure another Sylvester Stallone singing movie.

Also, Paul, how aware are you?

I'm curious.

Yeah.

Of the fact that Sylvester Stallone wrote the movie A Working Man.

The new Jason Statham

David Ayer movie is scripted by Sylvester Stallone.

Okay, well, I've been saving that movie because I've been like, I want to watch it either for this show or really enjoy it.

Holy shit.

Here's what I'm going to say.

Here's that.

I felt similarly.

And granted, take this with a grain of salt.

I've only watched the first hour.

Okay.

It is not the joyous

Jason Statham beekeeper

vibes that we want I'm afraid it is

it feels a lot more let's say Stallonian

well by the way here's what I think is going on we talked about this which everybody on the podcast will hear in a couple weeks but in the expendables movie I feel like Stallone has a bunch of scripts that are just floating around and when he doesn't do one, he kind of throws them out to somebody else.

And this felt like, wow, I love that he is.

I mean, the fact that Stallone has not gotten a writing credit on Tulsa King is surprising.

I mean, but I'm shocked.

I'm shocked he's not in those rooms.

I mean, he loves to put his name on stuff.

We talked about this during Cobra.

He put his name on the book.

He, yeah, that Cobra.

Yes, the book that the movie is based on.

He wanted to re-release the book with his name as the author.

Oh, my gosh.

Well, this.

Incredible stuff.

This is a moment in time, this Oscar movie, where Stallone is trying to be like Schwarzenegger, do comedies, and he did like a gangster comedy.

I remember this as something that was released that I did not go and see.

Same, same.

I remember it.

You know, the VHS box is ubiquitous because

it was a big movie, a failure, but a big movie nonetheless because it was a Stallone movie.

So, and in those years, that was something to be, you know, celebrated.

But, but boy, no,

I was not interested.

And now, by the way, the fun thing about Toronto is we decided since we were going all the way out there, we would do a little dinosaur show the night before.

Small, bespoke, intimate rooms, no microphones with a great cast, Lennon Parham, Lisa Gilroy, they're joining us, as well as Seth Morris and Chad Carter in Toronto.

That is going to be fun.

That's a night before.

That is on.

Come see us do improv in a small setting.

It is a great show, great people, and it's going to crush.

Toronto, you've never seen comedy before, right?

Second City, question mark.

How about dinosaur improv, toronto at second city so you oh wait it's at second city oh okay just kidding love second city big fan

but then uh then after that we're gonna head right over to uh chicago back at the den again smaller venue than what we've been doing with uh the same cast plus owen burke for uh a couple shows there so you can get tickets at httgm.com uh but these shows will sell out quick because they are smaller but i'm excited to go back to chicago i love that room the den is awesome great room we had great shows there last year.

Excited to go back.

Excited to walk around Chicago, eat some good food, hang out with all the meats.

I can't wait.

All the meats of Chicago.

Oh, and by the way, the thing that is important to mention is that June will be with us in Toronto.

So

that's exciting.

A very exciting time.

So lest you think that June has, we've lost June completely, nope.

She's back in.

She's going to be watching these terrible movies.

And,

you know, I will say, I'll miss St.

Clair.

I'll miss that chaotic screaming entity beside me on stage, but it will be great to have June back.

But here's the thing.

People don't even know what they're getting with St.

Clair because they only heard the first episode, Craven the Hunter, which we're going to talk about in this episode.

Which we had June for as well.

Exactly.

So we got, you've only just seen the tip of the iceberg.

Jessica descends into insanity as the as the shows go on.

Well, by the end of the tour, yeah, St.

Clair was nearly

hospitalized.

She was almost institutionalized.

We almost had to 5150 her.

By the way, we always ask you to submit a tagline for the movies that we do.

And so here is a tagline from Ghostbag.

Craven the Hunter.

He was in equatorial Africa with my dad when he was hunting lions right before he died.

Love it.

Little Madam Webb, it's longer.

I like a punchier one, but I like that we went back there.

And it's a call, but you really have to know the Sony Spider-Man villain villainiverse.

Um, but yes, I love it all.

All right, so thank you, Ghostbag, for that tagline.

Remember, if you have an alt movie tagline title, submit it to us on our Discord, and we may read it on the show.

Now, Jason, like I said, we are going to get into corrections and omissions in just a bit.

Oh, I can't.

You're telling me that people have corrections on our comic book-based movie knowledge?

Oh, they're going to come at us hot.

I want to also give a thanks to Chris Cheney for that opening theme.

And I got to say one more thing, Jason.

People are getting very excited about Taskmaster.

I keep on seeing more and more promo.

See you out there May 1st, right?

Or May 4th, is it?

May 1st.

So it'll air May 1st on Channel 4 in the UK, and then it will air May 2nd on YouTube and everywhere else.

All right.

So it'll be up.

The new episodes will be up week to week, starting May 2nd on YouTube.

So go to YouTube right now.

Go to the Taskmaster page and subscribe.

I've already seen some clips of you on stage now.

There's your little moments.

It looks great.

You look so good up there.

It's so crazy to see footage of me on the Taskmaster stage.

It seems strange to me.

I'm, I am legitimately, this is the event of the year.

And I was telling you before we started recording, my kids have started watching The Good Place,

and they were very pleasantly surprised to see Derek.

And now I believe I'm going to blow their mind when

they see Taskmaster.

Now, the only benefit of The Good Place was we've been burning through it.

They've been loving it.

But they turn to June after watching like a couple seasons and they're like, mom, why aren't you in this show?

June's like, I don't know.

But I was in Parks and Rec and they're like, what?

We don't care.

Yeah, they don't want it.

But it is so funny when my kids are watching this stuff because they're like, do you know Janet?

Yeah.

And every now and then.

My son, who I love so much, but sometimes we'll say the dumbest things.

He goes, I go, yeah, I know Janet.

And he goes, do you know bad Janet?

I'm like, they're the same person.

I would love it.

That's such a funny thing that your kids have, like, they have another element or level that you might know the people that are on the TV show.

Strange thing, and I remember my nieces when they were younger, when they were probably closer to your kids' age,

were similarly asking me questions about something I had done.

And do I know this person?

And do I know that person?

And they were all people that I knew.

And I was like, oh, yeah, I I know that person.

I can't remember.

And then

she thought for a second.

My niece thought for a second and then said, Do you know Reba?

And I was like,

Reba McIntyre?

She was like, Yes, do you know Reba?

She was probably eight years old.

Oh, my God.

And turns out they had discovered the TV show Reba in reruns

and were obsessed with it.

And I was like, I, I, I felt so, it felt so cool to be like, oh, yeah, I do know that person.

I do.

For them to be so excited about Reba and to have to admit, I do not know Reba, they were palpably disappointed.

Well, this is the thing is like they will always pull out something truly crazy, but I did have a weird interaction with my, I'm going to say like a third cousin, wonderful kid, younger kid.

And he's like, you're in that movie with Jennifer Garner, right?

And I was like, yeah, yeah.

And he's like, is she nice?

I'm like, she's the best, the coolest, like literally a fun as hell person.

And I'm telling him that, and he goes, you think

you could ask her if you'd ever go on a date with me

I was like oh no I can't I can't he said but maybe we could just like hang out with her if I ever come out to LA like oh I don't I like

it was so sweet but also he's got a crush on Jennifer Garner and and what I love about it too is Jennifer Garner from 2025 he's like a 13 year old like he's not like he didn't see 13 going on 30 or alias like he's just like I like that I would like to I would like to uh to meet her and see if i could strike up something uh the sweetest thing

and it was hard for me to come down anyway we'll be right back after this quick break uh do you think wait but do you do you think she'd go on a date well i mean i'll try to i'll i'll dm her we'll see what she says we'll be right back after this

Welcome back.

Last week we talked at length about Craven the Hunter.

We had questions.

You have answers.

You might have even wanted to take a moment to say, Paul, Jason, Jessica, June, you're wrong.

Here's your chance to do it all.

It's now time for corrections and omissions.

Corrections and omissions.

All right.

Thank you, Bionic Limbs, for that theme song.

Here we go.

Sean McBee writes, All right, Jason, it gets me nervous to do this in front of you because these are always so weirdly worded.

I can't, by the way, I can't believe you do do this

i can't believe you entertain this nonsense i love it i love

lunatics all right so disconnect the discord

uh sean mcb really does bring uh by the way that shirt is selling uh

the

there is a little cartoon of you unplugging a computer it's pretty great uh sean mcb writes if the point of these sony movies is to build up a spider-man universe so they can all jump straight into action with a bunch of established villains and supporting characters When Sony regains the rights to use Spider-Man, then why introduce Rhino just to kill him off?

He's a major Spider-Man villain that is dead before Spider-Man even gets a chance to fight him.

I'm beginning to think that Sony has no idea of what they are doing.

Well, I mean, yeah, right?

I mean, yes, clearly.

I mean, they are, as evidenced by each of these movies and their incoherence, I don't think they have much of a plan.

Sean McBee.

I don't think that Spider-Man is ever coming back to Sony.

I think that that, I mean, technically, that could be a door that opens, but it's just, it doesn't feel like that's ever going to happen.

I think the idea is.

It's clearly what they want.

You know, like,

I think Sony keeps thinking, oh, great.

Now that Marvel has done us a solid and established this character, we can now pull him back.

I remember a couple of years ago, they were saying after the

last Spider-Man where Toby Maguire and

Andrew Garfield showed up, that perhaps one of them would keep going forward while Tom Holland dipped in, was pulled back into the Sonyverse.

And there was some drama around that.

Right.

There's a whole thing.

I mean, here's the thing.

I feel like they...

are not really trying to build a universe as much as build a bunch of movies that are loosely connected on theme, right?

Because they're not even in the same.

I mean, I guess they're in the same universe.

I think they are.

I think there are people at sony and i'm certainly not by the time they got to craven who i believe were trying to set up basically the sinister six with some version of that they could then drop spider-man into and be like okay now spider-man is inside of a world of his villains

there was a great sony script that had the sinister six in it and it was i mean but again it that's a weird thing it's this it's almost like better if sony just keeps on shuttling stuff over to marvel and make a good absolute movie like that make a movie i also think that sony has shown over and over again that they don't truly understand, with the exception of Venom,

what these stories should be about.

Well, I'll argue that the reason why Venom works in a weird way is because it really became like a creator-driven thing.

It's a Tom Hardy.

Tom Hardy.

It's an author, an autour-driven movie.

It really is.

Sadly, Tom Hardy is the auteur who's absolutely out of his mind, and I love it.

Do you want to read this next one?

This is from Hang Nong Man.

Okay, this is from Hainong Man.

Jason joked about the White Lotus brothers in this episode, and it turns out Craven actually does have a White Lotus connection.

Alessandra Navola, aka the Rhino, is the father of Sam Navola, aka the White Lotus younger brother, Lachlan Ratliff.

Now, that's what I call capital S synergy.

Okay, Hainong Man.

First of all, capital S, why synergy?

Is it a proper name?

Is it a noun?

Why?

Why capital S synergy?

Okay.

And yes,

this is a a classic disconnect the discord question i don't need to be to this is just this is information this is not it has nothing to do with the joke got a real gotcha you know it's got haha did you know this yeah yeah well we know that sam navola is the child of alessandra navola and uh the actress emily mortimer uh one of the true greats um and i thought the kid was great i thought I thought um I thought all the Nepo babies were great in White Lotus.

I thought Schwarzenegger was fantastic.

I gotta watch.

I've never seen it.

Never seen a single episode it's it's a it's so fun it's so it's i gotta get into it you will enjoy it as a here's what i'll say sometimes the the monocultural show right can feel at times like a wait yes you know like oh i gotta watch this intense like adolescence feels like that to me right yeah

and i have not watched it yet because i'm like okay i know this is going to be intense and difficult and it's uh it's going to be uh incredible and and and a feat of production to do these wonders and that's cool.

But I know the subject matter is tough.

But the White Lotus, the opposite.

It's breezy, baby.

It's fun as hell.

I love it.

All right, so let's go to the phones.

Jesse, what do you got?

Hi, Paulin, folks.

Jesse here.

I love the Craven episode, but there's an omission from the comics I wish y'all had brought up, and that's that period in the books when the original Craven was dead and his son took over and then became a movie producer, and they did a whole get-shorty-esque parody and a story where Craven hung out with Jay Lenho.

It was during the early 2000s, written by the late Ron Zimmerman, I think.

I think that would have made it for a better movie.

Thanks.

Bye.

Whoa.

First of all, that's funny.

I'm going to get, it's called Get Craven.

Oh, wow.

Oh, wow.

I don't know this book.

I may have to get that.

I like this.

All right.

Great.

Now, that's information that I like just because I'm like, okay.

I'm on board with that.

And also, you left it in a great way, Jesse.

Well, it's also like that to me isn't like, you idiots, you didn't say the thing.

It's like, hey, you talked about this.

Maybe you'd also like this thing.

I love a recommendation.

That's a good one.

Fun as hell.

I did a little research on that book.

It's kind of universally accepted as being terrible, but an interesting thing.

So you're saying our fans have absolute knowledge of terrible comics runs as well as terrible movies?

But the interesting thing is it has two movie executive brothers called the Rothsteins that are clearly takeoffs of the Weinsteins.

And like in the book, they were called out for kind of being like piece of shit rapists

way back in 2002, like before any of it came out public.

So I don't know.

So Craven.

Craven is

really led the Me Too movement in a way.

I mean,

Craven.

Yeah, that's where it all started with Craven.

All right.

Kate from Austin, what do you got?

Hey, this is Kate from Austin, not the one from White Lotus.

I was just at your Austin, Texas show, and I just wanted to touch on the rhino does this

shriek.

And I really thought y'all were going to talk about it, and you didn't.

And I would just love to hear what you have to say about that huge, huge choice.

Thank you guys for coming to Texas.

Have a good night.

Well, I mean, look, this is something that I was bummed that we did not play the shriek.

Let's hear the show.

Yeah, I don't remember it.

Here, you'll love it.

The Kravanov hit failed.

All of our guys are dead.

Huh, yeah.

Choice.

Yeah, I guess I kind of remember that.

Yeah, that was, that's fun.

We should have played that.

That's fun.

He does also has another like, ah, like at the end, right before he gets killed.

Like, he, I like that he's vocalizing like an animal in a way.

I like that too.

You know, like, I feel like, I feel like Navola is doing as much as he can with a character who unfortunately spends very little time in his his scary, monstrous form as the rhino, and for the most part looks like a tech bro in a backpack, you know?

Yes, where he can be weird, I enjoy him being weird.

I think the movie, it's a bummer because

it's just hard.

It's hard to, I think it's hard to find your angle in in a movie like this where he has to not be the villain for the majority of the film.

I mean, that's the thing.

He's got to be, like you said, the tech bro who is not,

it doesn't even seem like there's nothing even fun with that.

Like, I'd love to see him more of a Steve Jobs guy.

He's just, he's an, he's an angry tech bro, and then he's like a angry rhino.

It's a hard, there's not enough variation.

I don't blame him.

I agree completely.

I agree completely.

It's just none of it works.

Let's do one more phone call here.

What do we got here?

Hey, Paul, maybe Jason.

Just finished the Craven the Hunter episode.

One thing I noticed when I was watching it, I don't know if I'm crazy or not, but it definitely seems like they had the CGI mouse on some of the characters.

Like maybe they changed some lines and they put these CGI mouths that looked like they were about to float off.

It was most noticeable in the scene when they're at the sexless nature cabin talking to Calypso, and it looks like her lips are about to just come off her face.

Let me know what you think.

Great.

Love the show.

Bye.

Okay.

Let's see.

Exactly.

Look at what you became.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, big time.

Look at what you became.

So that's really interesting.

So, this is a big AI thing right now.

So

one of the

uses for AI that they're talking about coming in and using pinpoint AI stuff is to go in and change the mouth shapes for shows that are like, say you want to watch dark, the German show dark, and you're like, oh, but I don't want to watch the clunky dub of it and I don't want to watch it in German.

There are now going to be AI filters that will make the mouth shapes match whatever language is being used in the show.

I saw this.

So I think this is an early attempt at something.

I don't know that this was AI, to be clear, but that's what they're trying to do is change mouth shapes.

Well, here's what I'll say too.

I know for a fact, I won't name the person, very famous person, very hands-on

author, not Tom Hardy,

who sit alone.

Yes.

No, who will, in editing, have a green screen set up and they will literally get that person's mouth to pop it in.

It's like, you know, so it could even be that person's mouth.

It's an odd, that does look weird.

Oh, yeah, that one looks very weird, but yeah, unnerving.

The other one that I thought was really

upsetting, and this is different, but that remember that show Different World, the spin-off of the Cosby Show?

Sure, yeah.

They AI upgraded it for Netflix

to make the resolution higher because they have to make the resolution better.

And if you look at any of the writing on the wall, it's all that weird AI, you know, because they can't write text the right way.

It's bonkers.

It's weird.

Yeah.

So if you look at a different world in, you know, whatever resolution it is on Netflix, you can see how weird the 4K

AI presing is.

It's really, really weird.

Yeah.

All right.

All right.

Back to the Discord.

Sean McB writes.

Back to the Discord.

Yeah.

I felt so good being away from it.

I know.

For a second, we had some voice.

And now I'm I'm plunged back into the cesspool that is the Discord.

Well, Sean's going to give us some more villain gripes.

While I understand Sony was setting up chameleon for a role in a future movie, I found it super irritating that his mimicry was established multiple times throughout the movie, but never paid off in the course of the story.

It was clearly there just to establish another villain, which feels cheap.

If his mimicry had come into play at the end to facilitate even something as simple as deceiving a henchman, it would have been so much more rewarding.

Yeah,

I agree with that.

I think that that is an interesting, weird choice because he is singing Tony Bennett and I don't even want to get into the Tony Bennett.

I'm not.

Wow.

People have been like, I thought I could figure it out and I'm lost.

Like I've seen so many comments.

People were lost by that.

Yeah, so good, good point.

Again, good point.

Good point.

I mean, I think you're pointing out a larger problem, which is that the story doesn't really add up, you know?

But that character is the chameleon.

He is Craven's brother.

So having him there made sense.

It just was, yeah, why not use it?

I mean, there we go.

Do you even want to read one more in here?

What do you think?

It says, Jason, you want to read one more?

There it is.

No, I don't.

But I guess I have to.

Okay, so this is from iFed, A-Y-E-F-E-D.

Yeah.

When the rhino first reveals that he signed up for scientific study to increase strength, he reveals that his skin became tough and gray as an adverse reaction.

But did anyone notice the, all caps, fucking rhino horns on the top of his head?

Question mark exclamation point.

How does even the most poorly administered and dangerous scientific study not only mess with his skin, but also give him rhinoceros horns?

I couldn't stop laughing out loud.

It was like a child invented the character and the backstory.

Also, does that mean there are hundreds of other people out there that also took the study and now have rhinoceros parts?

Question mark exclamation point.

Well, now this I like only because that's how they didn't kill off the rhino.

We just met one rhino.

I think.

Yeah, and I also think much in the same way that comics, nobody ever really dies.

I think if they were to have a movie

and this rhino came back, they would no problem.

That's fine.

Like, I don't think anybody ever really dies in comic book movies, the same way that they don't really die in comic books themselves.

Anyway,

my guess to this

writer is that I suspect he noticed the rhinoceros horns, to be clear.

And my suspicion is that the scientist was using rhinoceros part DNA or something because they have such hard skin in an effort to increase the strength.

And then the rest of it came along with it.

I can tell you.

Yeah, the scientists on this movie, that was the only thing that was really done on the level.

This is true.

Like, that would actually happen.

So I just want everyone to know, like, don't.

Oh, the science checks out.

The science checks out.

We checked it.

We checked it.

The science checks out.

Now, Jason, I know that you wouldn't want to even reward people for writing in their comments.

I'd rather they wouldn't.

Yeah.

Well, this is, you know, this helps everybody get through the weeks here.

If you had to pick a a winner, though, who do you think came in hottest here?

I know who the loser is.

It's you and I.

It's you and me.

Um, uh, uh, uh, I don't know who the winner is.

What are we talking about?

Jesse?

I would say Jesse to me.

Jesse from the

comics run.

Yeah.

I like someone who's giving a recommendation, an earnest recommendation for what I'm now told is a terrible comics run.

But first, take a listen to this bonus second opinion song from our Craven the Hunter live show.

Now it's time for second opinions.

Hello, I'm Jamie.

You can turn around.

You can turn around if you want to face the crowd rather than us.

This means a lot to me.

You guys are hilarious and beautiful and amazing.

Please run for office, ASAP.

These ones.

You guys can.

It's optional, but ideally

in the middle.

Okay.

I've been told I'm unelectable.

But if you grow out that hair, get that haircut.

Woo!

Oh, yeah, whacks me down, and I'm good to go.

He's got the blood of a lion or vampire.

Is this just Twilight?

Cause he hunts like Edward.

But he's really bad at parkour,

falling off fine.

Buildings are lions immortal.

Why doesn't he ever roar?

I'm just gonna give five stars.

Amazing.

Way to go, Texas.

Thank you so much.

Call your representatives, please.

If you're looking for a companion piece, if you need a little extra, how did this get made?

Every Tuesday, we re-release old episodes uh this week's matinee was tough turf with james spader and uh next week will be return of xander cage with adam scott we got to get adam scott back on

we got a a fantastic one of my favorite episodes of tv this year is the uh golden globes episode of the studio oh i haven't seen it on seth seth and evan's show the studio on apple tv seth rogan and evan goldberg's show uh with pete and alex uh and there's an episode i can't remember what number it is that it takes place entirely at the Golden Globes.

And it's

way ahead of us.

It's fantastic.

And Adam Scott, I say that because Adam Scott features prominently.

I cannot wait.

I love the episode with the missing reel where they're going around like this detective story.

And the camera work on that is great.

Seth has been posting all these clips online of how they do some of these shots.

Oh, that's cool.

Like that drone shot in the beginning of that one episode that flies over the

parking structure where that ends at the parking structure.

Great.

So good.

Anyway, check out the studio.

And also, by the way, maybe Seth, maybe Adam, maybe do a

real superstar episode on May 21st at Largo.

We're doing a how did this get made in friends?

So Jason and myself and a question mark.

We don't know who it will be, but that will be at Largo May 21st.

It's going to be like the masked singer.

Yes.

The guest will be dressed as a question mark.

And you've got to guess who it is.

It'll be the voice modulation, the whole deal.

The whole thing.

It's going to be there.

Now, anyway, next week on this show, what you're going going to get is, if you love Craven the Hunter's muscular abs, then brace yourself for two times the amount of shirtless abdominals because next week we are watching the 1992 buddy cop film Double Trouble.

Oh, man, I'm so excited about this.

This was an incredible surprise to me.

Peter Paul and David Paul, where have you been?

These are my Paul brothers.

And by the way, Scott, make a mental note of this.

We have to do their other films.

They have...

two other films, one where they're nannies and one where they're in like uh they're like it's like a Conan movie.

i i want to do them all uh anyway a short breakdown to the plot is a criminal and a cop who also happen to be twin brothers must put aside their differences to work together to take down a jewel smuggling ring now there are zero reviews of double trouble on rotten tomatoes which is a crime uh so we'll turn to letterbox and justin de cloy who writes i watched this film hoping to witness two muscle-bound dufuses bickering with each other lifting heavy things and making jokes about being twins while the goofiest comedy music played throughout and yes this satisfied all those requirements.

True.

It's got all that.

I love it all.

Yeah, this one was fun to watch.

I love it.

Let's do the trailer.

When David Jade became a cop, he was ready for the danger.

Ready for the violence.

The only thing he wasn't ready for.

Hey?

Peter.

Was his twin brother.

You got all the bad chromosomes, not me.

Come on, man, this isn't funny.

Okay, you can stream Double Trouble on Amazon Prime, Fubu TV, MGM Plus, and Philo.

Now, this is usually when I'll tell you to check out your local library's free digital media services like Coopla, Libby, and Canopy.

But instead, I want to play one last phone call that we received in our voicemail line this week from our friend in D.C.

Hi, Paul.

I'm a federal archivist in Washington, D.C., and I wanted to bring your attention to something affecting libraries across the country.

One of the agencies completely gutted in the Doge attacks and cuts on the humanities and public access to credible sources is IMLS, the Institute for Museum and Library Services.

You can read more about how the whole staff has been put on leave and how grants have been terminated across the country and all the major news sources, but I'm not sure people understand how much of their local library funding might come from these grants distributed by this incredible agency.

Most state budgets are also reducing funding for public libraries.

For many library services, systems, digital services like Hoopla and Libby have been the first on the chopping blocks.

So unfortunately this means less HDTM movies available, which is a tragedy, but it's also unfortunately cutting off a lifeline for homebound and senior folks.

The cuts to public service have been horrific across the board, but I thought this might be something you could speak out on in particular.

And please come back and see us again in DC.

We really need your cheer in these dark times.

Thank you so much.

Oh, wow.

This is, I mean, what more to say than this is such heartbreaking, heartbreaking.

And because the libraries are, and we love our librarians.

We love, I mean, I've, I went to this amazing event in a library outside of Austin.

I had such an amazing time.

What libraries do for communities and for people are so important.

And if you want to help,

because things are at stake, it's not just, this is like stuff that's going to affect so many people.

You can write members of Congress.

We're going to put a link in this episode in the show notes.

You can basically, you know, they give you a script.

They give you a template letter to write to make it as easy as possible just to reach out to tell tell people you want your libraries.

And the site also will link to the American Library Association pages where you can sign a petition and share your library stories that they can use in their advocacy campaign.

And maybe reach out to your local libraries and see what they need or what's going on.

You know, there's a lot going on locally, I feel like, for your library.

And if you are in Boise, remember your library has an exclamation point at the end of it.

Library!

Library!

So anyway, let's help our librarians.

Let's help our libraries.

We need to keep information open, but more importantly, we need to have public spaces where people can go.

And I think that's one of the things I've learned so much with the release of my book and talking to librarians is like libraries are a community center for internet access for, I mean, look, I was walking around in the library and people were just watching Instagram videos.

I'm like, this is great, right?

You need.

And like

the caller says, you know, like

if you are a fan of this show, so much of what we cover, so many of the movies are available through your library, through these portals that the library subscribed to.

You can get e-books, you can get audio books.

I get audio books from the library, and that's a great way to audio books.

You know, yeah, my Libby app is amazing.

Anyway, support your libraries and get ready for Double Trouble next week.

Jason, thank you for joining me.

Disconnect the Discord, right?
