#177: JFK, Surprisingly, pt. 6?
Incriminations that don't incriminate, alibis that don't Abilify, and the bravest TV newsman in America takes on (i.e., "works for") the CIA.

Idk if you still get notifications for posts this old but I’m just now this far into the back catalog. Your JFK series is a damn masterpiece, you could compile these into a book
Like many of your fans, your jfk series was my first introduction to this podcast. I’m fuckin’ euphoric right now
Goddamn, dude. The way you perfectly describe all angles of a given situation at once is amazing. Insane but probably not that surprising that TC is the go-to for the deep state to say “tee-hee aren’t we just the worst”
Brilliantly said about Tucker
The perfect post-holiday elixir to chase away those lingering cobwebs of kinship and cheer.
MSJ, what are your thoughts on Buñuel? I know that's a rather large question, given the scale of his career and scope of his body of work, but I have to think you have at least "done the reading" in watching his top films like THE DISCREET CHARM OF THE BOURGEOIUSIE, L'AGE D'OR, BELLE DU JOUR, and so on. I've tended to have a tough time finding inroads with a lot of his films, while I'll occasionally light up w/ something like NAZARIN or LOS OLVIDADOS. I've now watched THE EXTERMINATING ANGEL three times and I think it was necessary for me to be past 40 years of age to bear that movie with patience and appreciation - not everybody, just me. Anyway your Patreon tiers descriptions say "Go ahead and suggest a topic" and that's my suggestion! As always, be well, stay strong in your recovery. Oh by the way my AVI is a by now very poorly aged spoof of Aaron Paul's "I take responsibility" vid.
Another solid ep- love telling my pops that Tucker is CIA cause when I’m home we watch his show for the comedy. Your point on mass confusion resonates with me as well- it cleared a storm in my mind. Thanks again Michael.
What song is this at the end?
Empire State of Mind by Gold and Youth (streaming NOW!)
Michael, glad you made it through this year. I didn’t exactly have a fun year myself. Proud to be a supporter. Can’t wait for the new thing…
Wasn’t it Guy Bannister who said, “I can’t go home. Todays the day we kill the President”?
MJ, consider revisiting American Tabloid
Yeah…that makes sense—Tucker’s coverage of the JFK assassination & coverup is an attempt to shit-coat the issue, to use Ben Howard’s term.
Karaoke has had a huge positive impact on my life in this past difficult year and I’ve met some really amazing people at a karaoke bar—just saying. : ) (Though I can imagine a karaoke bar in DC has a far different vibe that one in Portland OR.)
Sure, I should've been more specific about the kind of karaoke where a guy who thinks he's in THE WEST WING tries to meet a woman by singing "Born to Run" and then, if successful, attempts to fingerblast her at the National Portrait Gallery (I have firsthand testimony that this does, in fact, occur)
This episode is a perfect early gift Merry Chrimbus MJ
