I'm always amazed at just how little Americans know about electronic music.

You Must Remember This is definitely my favourite non-hangout podcast but I wasn't fond of the Manson ones. I'm sure they were as good as the rest she's done but I find the show to be a really good addendum to things I already know, or jumping off points for things I only have a vague idea about. With Manson, I'm not

For me, I'd say Ben Rylan and Karina Longworth are the king and queen of podcast voices. I could listen to both of them talk about nothing for hours.

I almost cried at work listening to Justin Wren talking about his bullying on the Joe Rogan Experience. I don't think I've ever heard of one single incident being that bad never mind two.

That was actually Leonardo DiCaprio during Titanic.

That doesn't make it OK.

He's a good actor that's in a popular band.

When Daniel Day-Lewis almost died because he refused to wear a coat for the role of a generic tough guy in Gangs of New York.

I like the idea of this but it feels like an edutainment thing you'd give to a 14 year old to convince them of a career working in IT or something.

The film establishes early on just how everyone in this world talks and acts. By that point you should be used to it.

That's because Kubrick was too busy making his films look nice instead of making them good.

I didn't want to say the Coens because of No Country but the people in the Counsellor seem professional enough, besides for the Counsellor himself, and I can see traits of him in someone like Max from Collateral or even Crockett in Miami Vice.

Off the top of my head, Michael Mann. There's no way he wouldn't have tinkered with it to the point of it barely resembling McCarthy but the material seems like his kind of existential crime stuff.

I like The Counsellor a lot but would have enjoyed it more if it were directed by someone better than Ridley. He has no idea what to do with dialogue.

So did Dan Ackroyd.

He's been pretty vocal in the past about believing someone else's views as long if there's a steady paycheque in it.

Only once.

I saw Fat City on Mubi this morning. I liked it quite a lot but I'm still unsure how I feel about John Huston movies: their scripts often feel leaden and over expository and his direction is incredibly matter of fact yet he manages to get the absolute best out of his actors and they pretty much drag his films into
