S4E26: Croupier
🕑 Added 2025-11-14 11:53:29 +0000 UTCPicture this: You're a failing writer, you have a girlfriend who isn't great for you but loves and supports you, and a dingy little zone 1 basement flat. What if you threw it all away to become a Sigma Male? What if you became... a Croupier?

FREE PALESTINE
Hey, Devon here. In our home, we talk a lot about how insane everything feels, and agonise constantly over what can be done to best help the Palestinians trapped in Gaza facing the full brunt of genocidal violence. My partner Rebecca has put together a list of four fundraisers you can contribute to- all of them are at work on the ground doing what they can.
-Palestinian Communist Youth Union, which is doing a food and water effort, and is part of the official communist party of Palestine
https://www.gofundme.com/f/to-preserve-whats-left-of-humanity-global-solidarity
-Water is Life, a water distribution project in North Gaza affiliated with an Indigenous American organization and the Freedom Flotilla
https://www.waterislifegaza.org/
-Vegetable Distribution Fund, which secured and delivers fresh veg, affiliated with Freedom Flotilla also

-Thamra, which distributes herb and veg seedlings, repairs and maintains water infrastructure, and distributes food made with replanted veg patches

trans men 🤝trans women 🤝 nonbinary people: rocking a really stupid hat for some reason

When I was an eggy teen I also did the trilby and skinny tie thing but it was different because I thought I was a girl at the time. Did we ALL do this?!?

I am pro this movie. I genuinely think Nova has cringe blindness and is unable to see that the movie functionally agrees with her

You may be croupy Nova, but I am croupier than you

I used to dissociate to my glass coffin that orbitted neptune and I would just dream of watching the blue clouds

Still waiting on y’all to do Lucky Number Slevin. It has Ben Kingsley in it and Morgan freeman! Both of whom have never made bad films

This movie could be great if halfway through, the Croupier from Croupier ended up in a Spells R Us

You know how you feel less depressed when people you think are cool ALSO like your special interest? Always nice to see some fellow River Song fans 💙💙

Woman who just realised why she hated sex, damn. Also I think I dodged the bad hats by being on a cringe message board - we all have our sins to bare

Threw in my Mike Hodges directed these two weirdly different movies fact before I got to the end of the pod and realised November already did it. My bad. In my defence I consider it to be one of the most important cultural oddities of the 20th century and I will tell everybody about it at the drop of a (shit) hat. Hodges did a movie called Pulp way back when (1972), which has similar themes of the writer drawn into crime that Croupier has. Might have just been a personal interest of the man. The man who also directed Morons From Outer Space (WTF?). Genuinely I've seen most of his films and feel like I know less about him for having done so.

for Heist Season, i have a slightly out of left field suggestion - "Solo: A Star Wars Story". It is basically a heist movie and could stand to be examined as that, rather than as a "han solo origin story". Plus it ties in with some work that a certain host has done.
