This installment of MULTIMEDIOCRITY: The
Broadcast! finds the hosts in various states of sickness,
but they're game enough to give... well, an average amount of
effort. Still high on Marvel's AVENGERS: Infinity
War trailer, they discuss the MCU's bright future, the
ramifications of Disney's possible acquisition of 20th Century Fox
(see: the Fantastic Four and X-Men), and JUSTICE
LEAGUE's somewhat successful setting up of the DCEU's future,
but overall middle-of-the-roadness. The guys then go full-film geek
when talking about the finer points of directors Sam Mendes and
Christopher Nolan, cinematographer Roger Deakins, and the beauty
of BLADE RUNNER and its successor.
Talley tries to avoid mentioning politics, but Doofin grants him
Primae Noctis, or PechaKucha—yeah, that one—to air his grievances
on the RNC re-endorsing alleged pedophile Roy Moore while, without
irony, calling for their opposition to step down for lesser
accusations. They get back on course, sort of, and wrap on Doofin's
in-progress holiday movie watchlist and the inevitable discussion
of what is and is not a Christmas movie. Meet them "in St. Louie,
Louie" for episode 19!
