With Spintax taking care of things, we can get back to our regular podcast routine and have some normal guests on the show — that is, if you can consider two gigantic eagles normal guests.

Transferring hit TV shows to the big screen isn’t a new idea. This week Leonard and Baron discuss three films that have received this treatment: 1991’s dark and twisted The Addams Family, two unfortunate turkeys, and the underrated (and star-studded) SNL film Coneheads.

“Oh man, I shot Marvin in the face.” These are the words John Travolta says after obliterating the face of this week’s guest, Phil LaMarr. Phil joins Matt to finally lay all the myths of Pulp Fiction to rest. Was Marvin originally supposed to survive? And what’s Marvin’s real deal, anyway? And what’s in the damned briefcase? Phil answers all of these questions as well as tells us about the real fear he felt in his scene with Samuel L. Jackson, the approach he takes when working on an impression, and his first job on the Mr. T cartoon while still attending high school. Plus, Matt shares which actors were in consideration to be in Pulp Fiction in the return of I Wasn’t There Too! Check out the Rambo Cartoon Matt mentions in this ep here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eliQEStzhu4

Jay Israelson & Andrew talk about a caller’s question about how prostitutes have specific possibly racist sexual preferences. Make sure to leave us a message about anything you think is racist at (323) 389-RACE.

Over the last decade, the internet has brought into public light some of the great social injustices hiding just beneath the surface of what we thought we knew about our society…or specifically what white men thought they knew about society. No topic – from abuse of police power to campaign finance reform – has been without vocal opposition from both sides of the issue.

Yet one topic seems especially inflammatory, as it’s been both helped and hindered by the very mechanism of the internet itself: sexism and sexual violence. Yes, Bill Cosby’s victims were empowered by the medium and momentum to come forward and name their abuser. But dig deeper and a similar controversy sits quietly on the backburner as people refuse to name names and victims refuse to come forward, fearing public shaming and career endangerment.

This week on the podcast, Jack O’Brien speaks with Cracked columnist Adam Tod Brown and comedian Dani Fernandez about the unseen difficulties faced by women in the internet age, the powers that try to silence female voices both online and in the real world, and why these issues are magnified in the comedy community.
