Enchanted (2007). Is it a witty subversion of the Walt Disney Company’s history, or a deeply conservative reinforcement of gender and societal norms? Also, Susan Sarandon queens the fuck out.

Episode 217: Is It How Do You Know What A Vacuum Is?

Susan Sarandon in Enchanted. She looks like a drag queen. This is a compliment.

He started out with this character in some local car ads in my area, so seeing him ascend the national stage was kinda surreal. LOVE knowing that he was classically trained, though!

Our very own Sam is part of a Knorr campaign, and you can see him wrestle for FREE in Toronto!

www.knorr.com/ca/en/flavou...

Two beefy wrestlers giving each other the stink eye. The one on the left, a large ginger man with enormous muscles, is wearing a sleeveless green chef’s jacket and holding a tortilla wrap.

The Knorrior himself! A very muscular ginger man yelling in delight and power at the viewer. He wears a green chef’s outfit with no sleeves. Over his shoulder is a large wrestling championship belt reading “FLAVOUR MANIA - TAG IN TAG OUT - KNORR - 2025”

Knorrior
Origin Story
The Flavour Enforcer. The King of zing. He's never met a vegetable he couldn't kick up a notch. Never seen a noodle or a grain of rice he couldn't spice. With him in your corner, boring isn't an option, and flavourlessness gets the full nelson. He's forever fighting for flavour, slamming seasoning up and down the squared circle.

Consumer-facing "A.i." is controlled by rightwing billionaires with an interest in spreading disinfo. Excise it from your lives, friends. It's trash.

Here’s Catherine Deneuve’s hair from the end of Umbrellas we discussed (flying buttresses and scaffolding presumably unseen)

Catherine Deneuve in Umbrellas of Cherbourg. She is a very beautiful blond woman with an enormous round pout of a hairdo.

A screencap from Umbrellas of Cherbourg. Catherine Deneuve is looking at Nino Castelnuovo and saying, “She’s so much like you.” Behind them is a car parked at a gas pump. It is snowing and dark. She has an enormous pouf of an updo, one that makes you wonder how her head can hold it up.

important to note that for all her talk of "profitability" the company doesn't appear to be profitable yet. her plan is to produce literally millions of podcasts each of which maybe gets a couple dozen listens a year

this company is going to fail

found out what former Wondery COO Jeanine Wright is up to: flooding the internet with unlistenable AI podcasts

Her company has put out around 156,000 AI podcast episodes in two years and has averaged about 64 listens per podcast total in that time (less than one download a week)
