As more flock to this platform, I wrote about the Royals for a long time, and now podcast about SVU and movies that we grew up watching but haven't seen in ages on @unkindrewindpod.bsky.social. Season 2 starts dropping this week. Royals fans will know one of our S1 guests, @maxrieper.bsky.social.

Sounds like it’s a good thing I can’t even attempt to legally watch the Chiefs game in the Twin Cities today…

For the revelation that you’re into felching to be the second-most disgusting thing to come out of your “love poems” is really a feat. Referring to it as your harvest is unimaginably repellent.

When I was a kid, we learned about felching from Scuzzy Jim on the playground like God intended.

Now? Our kids have to learn about felching from the leaked foul poetry written to the journo mistress of our Secretary of Health and Human Services.

What’s this world coming to?

Jimmy Kimmel to Trump tonight: "I'll go when you go, okay? We'll be a team. Let's ride off into the sunset together like butch Cassidy and the suntan kid. [ Laughter ] And until then, if I may borrow a phrase from you: 'quiet, piggy.'"

This week’s newsletter is out. Watched some weird catalog picks this week, getting to the nunnery, taking in a weird Major League reunion, and knocking out some Herzog.

In our first Munchies' Choice ep back, we got a delightful stunt-cast-isode featuring a true titan of stage and screen. Yes, this SVU features none other than the modern voice of Shaggy himself, Matthew Lillard, in a difficult role for him opposite some nobody off the street named Carol Burnett.

In our final episode of Season 3, indie filmmaker Nick D'Agostino revisits a film he watched hundreds of time before turning 10, subjecting his extended family to it on every vacation they took. How did Robin Hood hold up after a couple decades of not seeing it? Watch and find out.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.

The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.

The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.

Why?

It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

Munchies should be happy to see the unofficial Official Radio Telescope Array of Munch My Benson in the opening of Pluribus. Very Large. Very Cool.

Now Pandora is on. What happens in Czechia stays in Czechia. Goddamn is this another banger. The Chernuchin years may as well have been crafted by aliens.

End Game was so unbelievably awful. And it was obvious instantly. That SVU fell so far from what it did so well is jarring. The new Fazekas-led eps have me hopeful, but it’s often such a bummer to watch a later SVU that JUST. DOESN’T. WORK.

We recorded 243 last night. It was S20E24, the last #SVU for Chernuchin (and Stone). If you’ve seen it, you can only imagine how we felt about it. Watching Closure Part 2 on USA right now, and it’s so glaring how disparate a good ep and a bad ep of SVU are. This is so good. It’s immediately obvious.

I routinely say this is my favorite show. That hasn’t changed, and I have wanted to do a podcast about it for so many years. It is such a rewarding watch, as I can attest to having watched it all six times and counting.

This is a fun journey for the listener, where everyone likes the movie well enough, but the more you talk about it, the more it starts to unravel. My take is Disney made a weird, perhaps incomplete movie on the relative cheap that still wins on vibes.
