Thanks! Yeah it was really fun rewatching daily show episodes from the Bush era. And true, though Jon Stewart did have a show until a couple months ago.

Such a great parody of 90s comics that I def didn't fully get at the time. All the comics putting on like a Bill Hicks sensibility

2000s Podcast episode on THE DAILY SHOW. We cover the political history of the show through 4 distinct eras: 1. Leather Jacket Krusty 2. Righteous Anger 3. Lecture series Stewart 4. Dogshit Era (youtu.be)
 

Welcome to the program–we got a great show for you today, we look one of the most influential TV shows from the 2000s, responsible (for good and ill) for the current state of desk comedy.

Breaking down The Daily Show with Jon Stewart into 4 distinct eras: 1. Leather Jacket Krusty (1999-2001) 2. Righteous Anger (2001-2009) 3. Lecture Series Stewart (2009-2016) 4. The Dogshit Era (2017-now)

We discuss the historical moments from the show: the late 90s, Gen X end of history; the right wing war fervor cancel culture of the Bush years; the smarmy lib media navel gazing atmosphere of the Obama years; and the Trump Derangement Syndrome era. We close on a discussion of satire in the bush years, and the absence of class politics on the show.

Bryan Quinby joined us for a movie episode on Guy Ritchie's classics (Snatch,LS2SB) We knew we needed Bryan for an ep on petty criminals doing low-level crimes that are all done by tech companies now (youtu.be)
 

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch are the source of two great "Guy" discussions, namely: Guy Ritchie, and his fans the "Dorm Room Cinephile Guy".

Well known 'Rome Ponderer' Mike Duncan reviews HBO's ROME (2005) on Remember Shuffle in c/podcasts@hexbear.net

Yes, considering how much Game of Thrones would later cost, it's seems feasible for it to have continued considering the sets they had already built. They were planning for season 5 to be the Judea one IIRC, really shows you how much they had to sprint through the 2nd season...including the weird Zionism plotline they threw in there without an ending. Thanks for the rec!

We're a 2000s Podcast: Mike Duncan joined us to look at HBO’s ROME--which was the most expensive TV show ever made, at the time. Mike’s expert take on how it portrays Roman life, and how the politics of Roman Decline don’t always match up with our desire to compare to American decline, politically.

hell yeah. Nice. I think that is one of the interesting things about Blockbuster, is how it's like having nostalgia for Wal-Mart, it's bad but the things that have taken its place have just become progressively worse. Glad to hear your hometown eschewed the national chain in favor of FV

This is the first episode of the show I decided to show my gf, I thought the back half really could work with a non-listener

Feedback we've gotten is that this is one of the better eps! Would like to share, Episode Outline:

  • History of Blockbuster.There’s a misconception that Netflix “killed” Blockbuster, but in 1997 (before Netflix ever mails a DVD) the Blockbuster market valuation had already been cut in half.

  • A review of the documentary ‘The Last Blockbuster’, how it’s a character study on Heidi, who is “the one” of capitalism

  • No one gets to own anything anymore

  • How tech reduces friction in our lives, and why things being easier may not mean it’s necessarily “better”

  • The Big Techification of movie making, how our movies are made by tech companies now and what that means

--How The Algorithm runs most of decisions we make in day to day life and how Blockbuster existed outside of that algorithm
