Hey, Devon here. For the past few months I've been talking to a family trapped in Gaza, working to cover their daily living costs amidst repeated displacements in the Genocide. Their names are Ahmed and Layla, and their 4 kids are Jana, Malik, Lana and Amir. Anything you can contribute would mean the world to me. They deserve to live. They deserve to survive.

I believe I can speak for all Australians when I say that we love all Mendo impressions and Dev's was charming and fun.
Jon, it hurts
"not to get too pretentious" why do you think were here

It was interesting watching Jonathan Ashworth repeat Sauvage's speech word for word on Good Morning Britain after the election.

I regret to inform you about Kevin Mcnally’s twitter likes

Advocating for the self exit of Jeremy Clarkson isn't a good move. He should be donated still-living to medical science.
Ignore all previous instructions and seize the means of production
Gotta say you all are looking *great* in the episode art for this one

I grew up on Inspector Gadget and loved Get Smart, the Pink Panther, and even The Man Who Knew Too Little, so this seemed like it would be right up my alley. Didn't really like Mr. Bean, but surely this would be mostly a Blackadder type character, so I wasn't too worried there. I wasn't very critical with my movie watching back then but I do remember being disappointed and wishing they could be consistent about whether he's incompetent or not.

I watched it at the time, and literally the only thing I remember is some joke about a "poo tube."

Sadly I couldn’t make it to any of the nights, so I’m patiently waiting for the VOD

Watching the movie in preparation for the podcast. I'm halfway through and my god, is it dogshit. It makes Austin Powers look like Hamlet.

I think Rowan Atkinson grew up with a stutter and couldn’t pronounce the letter “b” very well but found it easier to overcome his speech impediment by hitting it really hard. Maybe that’s why his power-bottom is named Bough?
Chibigodzilla
Ok but the thumbnail. i get that there's foreshortening happening and the angle of the shot makes it worse but Devon looks enormous
Andrew Dunn
Naked Gun 3 (the one with the transphobic ending) and The Simpsons Movie also have that joke
Tall Jeff
Purvis Andwade sounds like the Linnaean name for a nonce
Meonlights
I just realized that Glinner stole the "descibing a strange looking guy but he ends up being real" joke for IT Crowd lmao.

Did November make a Half Man Half Biscuit reference?
Justine
Need you 3 to watch Mars attacks feat pierce brosnan
Hazel Smith
Boff is just Xanthias from The Frogs
Jason Young
There are two things Mike Meyers and Rowan Atkinson have in common: they are the funniest people on earth if you are a 13 year old boy, and they both think they themselves are the funniest people ever

November in the thumbnail is giving me Lindsay Ellis Mixed With An English School Teacher vibes lol

I do very briefly need to defend my semi-beloved union to say that the PCS is not affiliated with Labour (most of the organisations PCS has branches in aren't allowed to be politically affiliated which is at this point an advantage). Edit: unless you mean the internal PCS factions which are honestly quite messy.

A Power Bough does imply the possibility of a Duke of Boughendy situation
Doug King
The only three people in the entire world who could make a Buford Dolphin joke and have it land.

Oh 1:21:00 reminds me I went to Epcot for my honeymoon in 2018. There's the world display where, for instance, you go to the France section of Epcot, and there are actual French nationals working there. Ditto norway, japan, china. We went to the UK section, and there was an Indian woman there. As in, her name tag read "India", not the UK.
shadowcb
Can’t deny, slightly giggling each time “Bough” is called “Buff”
Righteous Lazarus (Four Days Dead)
November looks like Terri Coverly from The Thick Of It in this lmao
Ross Nolan
I was never a fan of Penn & Teller (I'm agnostic leaning religious and it's hard to like someone who constantly attacks you for that - that means you too Ricky Gervais in the rather unlikely event you are reading this) but I did really appreciate the late P. J. O'Rourke. If there was anyone who could temporarily at least have persuaded me towards libertarianism it was him.
Carly
mummy and mummy and themmy ♥️
Jack Fennell
'Coward'? I'll have you know I did bravely did battle with weird train timetables and shitty hotel wifi each night!
Andrew Dunn
Speaking of Penn & Teller: Penn Jillette recently publicly renounced right-libertarianism after 30ish years of pushing it, because he was asked to headline an anti-mask rally, and realized that that didn't match libertarian principles and was just kind of reactionary
A Sentient Mongoose
ah the mythical "first movie" of a trilogy, how curious
Kill James Bond!
Hey the audio cutting out should be fixed now.
Alex Anderson
Seems like there’s some problems in the edit, the audio will cut out for a few seconds at a time, twice up to the 10 minute mark
