Gray Areas 
From what I remember, Mad Max sucked but it was the first of a cult classic trilogy. Road Warrior was better and then there was Beyond Thunderdome. It’s one of the few series where the sequels were better.
1. Can’t wait for the Crunked(?) Krunked(?) show. May the podcasting gods look down upon thee.
2. I will stick up for Grease – a great modern musical that works better on stage than on film. Danny undergoes a transformation too (goes out for the track team, gets his Letterman jacket), but it’s incredibly downplayed in the movie compared to Sandy’s makeover. Now, watch Grease 2. Better or worse or the greatest movie musical in existence? I look forward to your response.
3. Ep. 156 was lots o’ fun. Best parts – not Morgan Freeman (sorry Dave, after awhile it sounded like a young Walter Cronkite, which could be a compliment, maybe) and Shaun talking with his mouth full. You guys do random banter much better than other podcasts that claim to do random banter. With as structured as your show is usually, it makes sense to do a less structured one every now and again. Just maybe with less food.
4. Sorry, I don’t like listening to people eat and talk. Maybe the rest of your audience disagrees. I am prepared to fight.
5. Grease 2 contains a song titled “Reproduction.” It’s a real showstopper.
We’ll be breaking this message down in next week’s show — the timing has been weird before this, but we still fully intend to get to it. The good news is that it’ll be early in the episode when nobody is super drunk yet.
