I hate christmas music so much

I've seen youtube videos were people talk about SatC and I feel like I'm having a stroke because they talk about how good the outfits are and the outfits looks like how I would dress my barbies at age 3

A Goblin

Abi not having heard of Liza Minelli is the biggest switch up of expectations I’ve had this month

Amy

I'd argue that the unprovoked violence should be higher, perhaps very high given the use and abuse of effectively slave labour and the jokey haha nature of "how could we do this without our slaves!". i don't think these are covered entirely by misogyny or cultural insensitivity either. like bond shoots misc dudes but it rarely endorces real life abuses of human rights as being funny/quirky

Union of Appalachian Anarchists

I'd never heard of Liza Minelli either, thanks for repping us honourably, Abi

Bex D

I never knew I needed the girls singing Johnny Cash but I did. I really did. 😂

Thanks is "shokran." "Marhaba" is Welcome, so they're incorrect like they were with "yes" (which I've always heard pronounced "naam" rhyming with RomCom, or "ay" which is like "yeah")

Oror

DEVON not considering dog tooth part of the movies about making movies saga is disappointing.

Knights Who Say Sledge

Now I desperately want them to tackle the first film, though I know it can't pay off quite like this one because this one is an epic cosmological dumpster fire, but I do think there's some genuine amusement and analysis to be had by the crew in exploring this series backwards. Just a notion. Loved this. I needed the laughs.

Gabe

Correct, edited.

House Chaos

I'm so glad I'm not the only one thinking of that!

House Chaos

Yes! That!

House Chaos

Yes! That's what I thought :D

GIVE. ME. THE. SHIRT

James King

So pleased someone else has watched that old Cracked video about the 4 Humours of TV characters ❤️

Andrew Dunn

That's the one I checked out

Ross Nolan

Fun fact: the character of Erin was considered so racist here in Ireland that newspaper reviews specifically called the film out for it; it probably didn't help that she was played by Alice Eve (who I generally love as an actress but who is not exactly convincing as a Gael.)

Ross Nolan

I do get that. Hell I'm still closeted about being trans in the non-cyberspace 'real' world and I'm a decade older. That said and maybe it was my imagination but I did pick up a vibe Abi did seem out of sorts just generally this episode, even if I loved the dress story.

Ross Nolan

I would make any number of sacrifices to Cthulhu if it meant KJB did an episode on 'Josie & the Pussycats'. Honestly I'm a bit surprised it hasn't been a bonus pick at some point already.

Jack Philipson

Joe Sacco's Palestine is a classic bit of long form journalism I highly recommend it. (Although I think The Fixer is his best work)

Peter Paul Rubens' Muse

massachusetts gay marriage UNmention! we got it before NY and CT, in 2004! i remember because i was five when i attended my first lesbian wedding <3

God's Eepiest Soldier

so thoroughly forgot that abigail has a deadname that i spent several minutes going "is the musical…related to an upcoming project under embargo? did…did omid djalili Do Something? is there a second, illegal musical featuring the character omid played that you can’t mention publicly because of…ghost copyright?"

Candy H

frankly, shockingly large catalogue of KJB episodes without any of the three hosts.

Palpable Pips

Loving the increasingly conversational name readings. Serves you right for building a badass community

Solysp

I’m glad they explained who that was because I’m with Abi here

D&BDomeisen

Titty O'Physics...felt like a real James Bond moment b/c that is a certifiable Bond Girl name if I ever heard one.

Andrew Dunn

Is that Hauntology?

Andrew Dunn

My local library has Mattie Lubchansky's graphic novel in the "political graphic novel" section where they also had graphic novels about Haiti, Che, and Palestine. I got a library card posthaste. Also, the hosts better spend several hours pronouncing "niqab" correctly, or they will start unironically saying "knee quab" Trump=Big=Hauntology? Mr BIG in Live and Let Die. Hmmm. The best dogging vehicle is the Popemobile

mira_drgn

hearing "check out mattie lubchansky if you get the chance" i can't help but mentally autofill with "sound of the summer"

Logan Shanley

Liza Minnelli

Sylvie

Heat is gonna be so good, I can’t wait for robbery season to finally start

Sylvie

Thanks for the jazz outro therapy Dev, I think I genuinely healed a bit hearing that

Sylvie

And the last fight let us face!! 🌹

Brian Danger Hicks

At least when Josie and the Pussycats did all that blatant unpaid promotion for Target it was in the service of a funny bit.

Ineloquent Reverie

With that in mind, allow me to note that the out and out kafala system is illegal in Dubai, and there are some minuscule amount of worker’s rights on paper. Them being followed in practice *is another story.*

Ineloquent Reverie

I get the feeling that, as someone who lived in Dubai for a while, this is gonna be one of the most laser targeted episodes to get me in my feelings lmao

Noblesse Oblahaj

This was a lot of fun, and if you ever want to do ( or know of ) a Sex and the City podcast where they talk about the show God, you could do that.

John Benfield

I literally resubscribed to the Patreon for this. I know either Devon or Nova has made references to TWIoAT in previous episodes, so I'd hoped that they'd get the boiz on as guests for this one. After seeing it 58 times they could do a no-notes version without breaking a sweat! But perhaps it's for the best that we didn't subject them to yet another viewing of it.

Bran Mac Muffin

Sadly we didn't get the KJB cast singing The Internationale

nausium

I looked up a pic of the hat and was physically jumpscared

Ronin Fredricson

Obviously Devon's halloween name is Demon

Noblesse Oblahaj

November re-enacting the flare scene from Platoon as the movie starts

Miss Norris

If it's of any comfort to anyone, I have no idea who Liza Minelli is either. There's enough media out there to miss vast swathes of it.

BarFly

It turns out Titty O'Physics is the daughter of Waking the Dead's Trevor Eve?

BarFly

Another movie that makes the classic blunder of reminding the audience that they could be watching a better movie.

Steve Red

as a listener to The Worst Idea of all Time, this one’s a wild ride

The Curious Case of Caley V

I really feel Abi’s frustration when the group gang up on this one. Yeah, fair enough Liza Minelli is an icon but when you’re aggressively closeting yourself, you don’t pick this stuff up as you refuse to engage with it and when you do come out, that lingers around and you try and avoid it for fear of it being a stereotype.

Erin Taylor

I don't understand how Abi doesn't know who Liza minelli is, I've at least heard of her at 23 lmao

Jae H

“Try walking into ‘women and nonbinary’ spaces looking like me” – god I FELLLLLLT that 😖

Kacey Riley

This comment is a petition for more 2 hour episodes

Valesca

When you said Big was originally based on Trump I physically gagged 😖

Nerves

Oh my god I just read boys weekend like last week because my comics professor has a signed copy of it !!! It was really good, and I loved Mattie’s insight here

Gabe

They are fantastic and need to be on more episodes!

Madeleine Capper

Hearing a live reaction to a gay actress in her 30's being completely unaware of Liza Minnelli was revelatory; thank you for this moment.

Consider Q-ing up TrashFuture’s Operation Clippy

I'm so here for Abi's fury over the head-covering jokes.

Ben Schwabe

There's the implied violence directed towards all the indentured servants. I think Lindy West's review actually gave her career a good boost. "If this is what modern womanhood means, then just fucking veil me and sew up all my holes. Good night." https://www.thestranger.com/film/2010/05/27/4132715/burkas-and-birkins

somehowmags

very excited to listen to this as my only knowledge of this movie is a professor once using it as an example of orientalism

NB

i used to be engaged to an unironic satc enjoyer and she made me watch both films (should have ended it then and there). this episode feels like an exorcism.

Mo Haworth

Personally very keen on rescinding Abi's Liscence to Gay until you've made her watch Cabaret

Candy H

"Ugh, I accidentally picked up a copy of the Staten Islander again" is why Mattie's all three hosts of Kill James Bond

A Horse In A Man Costume

All That Jazz (1979) reference 😍

Cate Kneale

I still think you should do Desperately Seeking Susan but you should bring Mattie on as it's both a New York and a being trans movie. Trust me.

MarineRose94

Abi is like 2 years older than me and I know who Liza fucking manelli is!!

Gabe

1. So glad Mattie pointed out theres no Jews in sex and the city. 2. This is the second time Abi has acknowledged not knowing who Liza Minelli is. WTAF.

themarinaraman

Hey look if you made a cropped I am woman hit me raw id buy that shit in a heartbeat

LizSwaff

I feel bad for people who only know SATC from anything after the original series. At least they were interestingly problematic in the series.

Gabe

1. Have Mattie on more, they are fantastic and their appearance on Goldeneye was one of the best guest spots! 2. November going "I never drink..." reference was fantastic and such a good joke!

Jack Fennell

Two hours and 10 minutes of mangling an awful film [sickos_Yes_YES.png]

Gilded Dragon

This is WILD! WILD A fucking fever dream.

Vyvycious

Coining the phrase “I am woman, hit me raw” = highlight of the year

Mr. Venom

I made the exact same object of power from control reference right before Dev haha

Damien Tonkin

I think Persepolis would make an interesting companion piece to this if you haven't already done the next bonus episode.

Jack Philipson

"It is consumerist pornography. It is an orgy of just dripping wealth that made me want to be sick."

Andrew Dunn

I know who Liza Minnelli is, but only because of arrested development. The first episode of Doc Marten has an old woman asking him for too much estrogen cream which she rubs on her chest, which then rubs off on two of her lovers.

Prince Jade

I almost died at Tittie O'Physics fuck i was drinking coffee

Subspace Jet Witch

I'm sorry, this is the point where I started going "THEN COMRADES COME RALLY!"

Noblesse Oblahaj

I love the really deep movies and all but I also love trash and hearing you yell about trash. I'm going to really love this. I'm also really looking forward to Heat and all the dead cop jokes

Jack Connell

can’t believe they resurrected Theo van Gogh to make the SATC sequel

anamoy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdrjRBB8TA4 "shit liza minelli says"

Damien Tonkin

Wasn't Liza Minnelli married to Peter Allen at one point? I don't know if any of her other husband's were gay.

Jermy

For real. Also, Judy Garland. Wizard of Oz, A Star is Born?

Livi

Megalopolos mention 🎉

Jermy

I was working at a theater when this came out. I only remembered the weird condom spill at the end

Alfie Hall

KJB is about to go full Mark Kermode

Ryan Sch.

Sex and the CITY? In THIS economy?

The Squash

Holeeee shit

Matt

Doing the Vince McMahon meme as I see they've done a 2 hour episode...about sex and the city...with Mattie. Oh my days

Archie

I pulled up the episode without my glasses on and there was a second when I thought the episode was "Cyber Sex and the City 2" which honestly would be a great porn title

Jack Connell

Be nice, Abigail spent 18 years growing up in the heterosexual cloister that is Middle-Class Newcastle

Whisky_Delta

Like right?! Even the straights know her from Arrested Development!

Maria

i too like abigail am but a demure young girl and to be fair i only know who liza minelli is bc of that infomercial she did for some jewellery brand where shes absolutely loaded and forgets her own name

Ros Ballinger

LIZA MINELLI!!!

Clarp Blarpkiss

Devon's spooky name is just "Dammit?"

shadowcb

You call this the most evil, vapid movie you've ever seen, yet the title does not say "Eat, Pray, Love". I will wait for the day you endure all 4 acts of that cruel, twisted excuse of a long form undercover boss episode. P.S. looking forward to listening to this episode when I get a chance, expecting a Mama Mia 2 experience 😋.
