I enjoy Hotboxin', but haven't caught up with it for awhile so I appreciate the link. Also, I will listen to the Jason Patric/Sutherland episode - I haven't seen any of Rosenbaum's podcasts so I appreciate the post. Jason Patric has been in some terrific movies. In addition to Lost Boys, he was also the main character in Narc (with the late great Ray Liotta also) which is a top shelf movie as I think I posted about before. I also really liked the movie After Dark My Sweet he was in (Bruce Dern also) which came out in '90, which you have probably seen. I forgot a lot of it so I may have to watch it again.
With regard to America's Untold Stories, Groubert has sold me on the idea that Will Smith and his wife are Scientologists. That episode was so loaded with amazing facts and insights that I don't know where to begin. For example, I always knew that the Mormons hated blacks but I never realized that they would depict blacks as having horns in older Mormon artwork and that they stopped depicting them that way when they got too much blowback. It's great that Groubert will be doing more episodes about the Scientologists - but I hope they don't go after him for it. They fucked up Sonny Bono and caused Isaac Hayes to have a stroke. They exposed Nicole Kidman's affair when she was married to Tom Cruise, since she wasn't compliant and so on. How about how they actually bent the IRS into declaring them a non-profit by filing endless numbers of lawsuits against top IRS officials and the IRS itself until they capitulated. Then like you said, Marc Andreessen basically broke things down on Rogan about how large societies are just watered down cults. A lot of behavior we observe coming from top persons in government and other areas like the Hollywood scene can be explained by their membership in secret societies and cults. Groubert's opinion that many of these science fiction movies are just homages to Elrond Hubbard is one I agree with also (this dovetails into the idea that Will Smith, who Groubert mentions has made the most sci-fi movies of any major actor, is a Scientologist). Since this episode was so loaded, there is no way I will remember all the things I wanted to opine on that Groubert mentioned. This episode has to be amongst the best that Hunley and Groubert have made IMHO. When you have a guy that knows how society really works spilling the beans, you really start to appreciate that aspect of technology (the internet).
Wow... Great Breakdown!
And I don't blame you for not keeping up with Hotboxin' with Mike Tyson.
The Co-Hosts are the worst thing ever and the show has no coherent direction.
I'd rather just listen to Mike and his legendary guests that he has on.
Even though Mike isn't good at it I think it would be better than what it is right now.
I got about halfway through the Ric Flair Podcast but it turned into a complete Shit Show when that woman opened her yapper.
The Co-Hosts have no clue who they are talking to and it seems clear that they never do any type of research or at the very least make a list of questions.
Or bring back Jeremy Piven.
I guess the original cohost Eben Britton is out for good and the consensus is that he was the best fit for the show.
