Not entirely true. I expect him to get three cheers at his funeral.

How about as a Patreon goal? Enough people contribute and he does the full review?
Heck, even if he simply invented the other movie out of whole cloth, I'd love to hear his riff on this particular figment of his imagination.

Draco in Leather Pants - TV Tropes
Where Ron the Death Eater is about the fandom taking a good character and demonizing them, Draco in Leather Pants is when a fandom takes a controversial or downright villainous character and downplays...

Didn't you recently say on BTB that you guys *didn't* get the nukes you were looking for? Did something change or was that just the one podcast and not Cool Zone as a whole?

I wonder if the Mystery Science Theater guys could make it interesting. Probably not, but it might be worth an effort.

What did he eat? Did he take any medications and when? How well did he walk and move? Did seem coherent?
It blows me away that our allies all have intelligence agencies asking these exact same questions about the United States president.

I remember going to a seminar by a CIA recruiter at a job fair in college about the more mundane side of intelligence gathering. He said that if anyone dined with a Soviet leader (this was just as the Cold War was ending), they'd probably be asked all sorts of questions about the meal.

I heard an interesting take on that. Supposedly the signing bonus requires you to stay for 3 years or pay it back. Not unusual for a signing bonus. But I suspect some of these guys will wind up in debt if they leave early.
I'm okay with that, of course. But it might change their motivations.

The whole "made the trains run on time" myth is so transparently wrong.
Albert Speer, the only survivor of Hitler's inner circle, really laid out how dysfunctional the Nazis were with all the infighting in his memoir. The current batch of fascists is really no different.

In the 80s I ran into a lady in her 60s on the bus who said her last name was Milhouse and she was a distant cousin of Nixon. She said she had never trusted him and "Tricky Dick" was too kind a nickname.
I got the impression that no one on that side of the family had ever voted for him.

I was about eight when that happened and I remember my mom telling me she saw the crews pulling the signs down.
It was funny that Yorba Linda and Whittier had a rivalry over who was the true hometown of Nixon... right up until he resigned. Nixon's museum is in Yorba Linda, by the way.

Has he done L Ron Hubbard? I've only listened for a year but I've always just *assumed* he had.
