That makes sense. I'm really excited that you guys are doing less comedy and covering different topics. Also, I can't wait until someone has to sum up a 4.5 hour Hardcore History in 3 sentences.

Wow, that was a very convincing case.

Basically I'd like to see the same thing, only done with all Johnny Cash songs. You'd have a lot of material (and I love Johnny Cash).

Counterpoint: While hip-hop has garnered a reputation for misogyny and homophobia that rock and country somehow avoided (Three guesses why!), lyrics of this kind in all music deserves cultural scrutiny, especially when we wouldn't tolerate it in other kinds of speech. And rewriting lyrics is more fun than getting out…

"In the original version of the episode, which went out on screeners to critics, Kang or Kodos said, “This sure is a lot like Iraq will be” before the music started, but show’s writers felt it was too on-the-nose and cut it before air."

I guess they might be on film. But unless you're just making Braveheart with a Shakespearean varnish, they're still a relatively small part of the plays.

You know those guys who rearrange the Star Wars movies, or the chapters in a Song of Ice and Fire, in order to improve the thematic resonance? Let's do that for Malick Films:

I think this has been talked about here before, but the history plays are grouped into two tetrologies, the Henriad (the four plays covered by The Hollow Crown) and then the Henry VI plays plus Richard III. In theory, you could read it as one eight play series, but there's a major time jump in between, and some tonal…

@ColdGottoBe:disqus That makes more sense. I was picturing you walking around a classy soiree, holding a ratty old book under your martini glass. "Oh? What's this? Just a fine piece of lit-er-a-ture."

That sounds like it would make a terribly awkward coaster. Have you considered just framing it, or getting it's cover tattooed on you to show off?

They're not punk, and I'm telling everyone.
Save your breath, I never was one.

This is the closest the Flophouse has ever come to convincing me to watch a movie. Who came up with this premise, and how were they not kicked out of Hollywood immediately?

Please don't speak for us.

In this world, everybody knows who Heisenberg is. He's in all the papers (including, apparently, the NYTimes). I don't know the status of Whitey Bulger's apartment in Santa Monica, but I bet it attracted attention even from people who weren't directly involved in a city across the country from where he was a legend.

I mostly agree with him and that's still the worst paragraph I've ever read.

In Cockney rhyming slang it's the ol' defenestrator.

'Ello 'ello, is somebody takin' the piss?!

I think the secret to a good Drunk History story is to have at least one interesting and fun character, rather than just an interesting event.

Stephen Merchant as Lincoln is also a great choice.
