Does This Still Work?: The Podcast

Joe & George view movies over the last half century and ask: Does This Still Work? Joe handles @joedixon.bsky.social. George handles the Facebook DTSW.

If you are complaining right now about Biden and saying you can’t vote for him next year, please leave me off your email lists in early 2025 with calls to action about Trump’s brutal excesses. Thanks.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce you to the actual American electorate.

I’m genuinely asking how a generation that has grown up with the fastest and widest access to information at their fingertips are so easily duped by disinformation and misinformed?

Y’all make fun of the boomers believing deep fried memes they see on FB but honestly some of yall aren’t any better at discerning basic facts.

This was tough guy Markwayne Mullin on January 6 while “peaceful tourists” were invading the Capitol.

Not so tough then was he?

@PiatPod How about: Tim Scott suspended his presidential bid to spend more time with his closet?

Is Marvel ever going to address that hand sticking out of the earth from The Eternals? We've had a couple of tv shows and movies since that film and nobody has noticed this thing.

[Does This Still Work?: The Podcast @DtswPod]

This is probably the most reasonable take I've seen so far regarding this movie.

[Does This Still Work?: The Podcast @DtswPod]

Saw The Holdovers. I really liked this movie but can't imagine who it was made for. No, that's not true. It was clearly made for older audiences who miss Hal Ashby but how many people is that?

Sorry, there are no direct quotes from Dave. But what he's supposed to have said are not lies. From the reporting he doesn't even sound provocative. Without video its hard to see why anybody felt unsafe unless we're pretending Free Palestine is hate speech.

First, your buying a ticket to the guys show so you really should know what to expect already. Also, if you think trans people should suck it up but your feels should be respected then you're really telling on yourself. Second, those quotes, while not funny, are not lies either.

IDK why they are silent but the WGA has roughly 20k members. If only 22 of the 20,000 are complaining then maybe the Guild is reflecting the feelings of their members?

@DestroyAllBeets @FrankConniff Because there is a whole generation of people out there with $ who've never heard of The Thin Man and wouldn't be caught dead seeing a black and white movie.

[Does This Still Work?: The Podcast @DtswPod]

@FrankConniff By modern I'm guessing this simply means Nick won't be spending time sidelining Nora and there will be an acknowledgement that nonwhites exist. Also, to appeal to a younger demo, I would bet N & N prefer pot (probably vaping) to booze in any new version.

[Christopher W. Jones @cwjones89]

As the extent of the massacre at the Music Festival of Peace becomes apparent, lots of analysts seem to have trouble understanding the decision by Hamas to embrace ISIS-style tactics.

I think there's a very clear brutal calculus going on here.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Strategically, killing civilians in Gaza who aren’t Hamas won’t hurt Hamas, it’ll help them, in the long-run.

Morally, killing civilians in Gaza as part of an ‘overwhelming’ show of force isn’t moral. It’s immoral.

[Thom Hartmann @Thom_Hartmann]

Hamas apparently knew how to get around Israel’s Iron Dome defenses. They probably learned this from Iran. Iran almost certainly got the information from Russia. And who gave it to Russia? Sure looks like it was Donald Trump, at the request of Putin: https://t.co/dDrVhVNWqx

Saw Dicks: The Musical on Friday. It tries really, really hard to shock you and for some people it totally will. But as a musical its just ok and as a comedy its more funny than not. Which, I guess, since they are clearly aiming for cult status, is a success.

All you need to know about this country - Right wing media won't cover this and progressive grifters will simply say "we still have a long way to go" and then wait for their next chance to slam "both sides" while promoting their patreon
