I remember reading online that the original had been renewed for a fourth season and then to my great sadness season three was advertised as the final. I’m sure there were some production shenanigans that caused this because the show seemed to be laying the groundwork for more. A good example is that Mr. Lyle mentions…

If an adult, parental figure in someone’s life had been giving them alcohol since they were 12 or 13, and they developed a dependence on it and got a fake ID when they were 16 and started going around to neighborhood bars that served them thanks to the fake ID, I don’t think we’d have any trouble seeing that person as…

How does she figure? She did a miniscule amount of time in 1991 for tax evasion. Let me guess—as a side hustle, Lords also presented herself as a CPA and mishandled Lynn’s taxes? Cause that’s the only way I can square this.

I could see the moral opprobrium against Lords if someone had gone to jail for raping her within the ambit of a legitimate porn shoot despite having checked her ID, verifying its authenticity (i.e., that it was a real ID), and believing in good faith that she was the age she claimed to be. But that did not happen—and…

This sounds like a really gross podcast. Glad to know I can give it a miss.

“You ruined my life because you did porn while underage” is certainly an interesting grudge to hold. We need to be honest about the industry when discussing how that was even possible. Sure plenty of people sneak into bars with a fake ID but this was a job. She was able to get past an I-9? She falsified documents that…

Or what about this? She was both scammer and victim? She was sixteen when the age of consent was eighteen. This law exists because sixteen-year-olds cannot consent to sex with adults, cannot enter contracts, cannot do many things that require adult reasoning (which, of course, many adults don’t use).

Thank you for refering to her as a child. I’ve seen so many fucking guys lately say “Underage women” fuck off she was a child you prevs.

Oh yeah. Lords was a victim who was lucky enough to escape alive. The fact that almost 40 years later society still wants to hang a “little slut who fooled us” sign on her says volumes.

Don’t forget all of the raves. If I had to guess why society had basically collapsed in the Matrix world, it was likely to do with all the shitty-EDM music played over slo-mo Miller Genuine Draft dance parties.

this podcast has a single review lol... hopefully it’ll continue with that level of traction

I can rarely think of a movie where you could feel in the room that the audience thought it sucked when the credits finally rolled, but that sure as shit happened with Matrix Revolutions. Just immediate disappointment.

I agree with everything you said, but I think my big issue in hindsight is that it didn’t feel like…

There are cities in Iowa.

The correct way of dealing with Bison

I’m reading a book about how people die in Yellowstone, and they start off with a newspaper editorial from 1970 that describes nature as untamed and amoral, which are both excellent words to describe it. Nature does not fuck around, and those who refuse to respect it are extremely lucky if all that happens is they get…
