S2E23: Austin Powers [Live]

You asked, and like the monomyth, we refused the call. Several times. But now, we've finally relented.

Recorded live at the Streatham Space Project on the 13th of April 2023, It's.... Austin Powers!

Late to the game, but just realising that one of the members of Ming Tea, was Susanna Hoffs as Gillian Shagwell. Presumably Felicity's sister?

I feel like increasingly over time bits about transphobia have become more and more central to the patter of KJB. Fair enough whatever direction you want to take your show in and of course it is something that affects you all, I guess for me, I listen to KJB to get away from all that shit. Having to be reminded about the waiting lists I'm on, things that could be yelled at me in the street, not belonging in 'womens spaces' etc. every episode is a bit tedious.

just read the part of the uncut script on the plane and boy! that sure is an attempt to create a new racial slur

You can always tell a Canadian by their ungainly gait.

What you call 90 minutes of sketches strung together that tend towards being bad I just call SNL. What's worse, they pilot all of the sketches with an audience before they tape the final product. A lot of them don't make the cut.

genuinely surprised nobody set off the NERD ALERT drop when alice referred to paddy o'caricature as "seamus heaney" and "flannery o'connor"

Idk how to bring this up But when Joe Son was being interrogated he actually referenced that he was in this movie. You can find the video online.

I assume the Bully Restroom is the one where Ilia met those Italian twinks in Uncle (2015)?

Mike Myers' parents are both British immigrants to Canada, so it's debatable whether he's stealing valour.

Apparently you should have brought Milo on. From the Austin Powers wiki, "Mrs. Kensington is the only character in the Austin Powers trilogy to be a MILF."

Did someone make a rule that Alice isn't allowed to talk about the guns or something

Wait did they release a different version in the UK? I'm 100% sure that the version I watched as a kid didn't have the scene with the henchman's family

Just looked and there's a long list of differences between the American and International releases of the film. Being a poor innocent American, I too was unaware of the mourning family scenes. https://www.movie-censorship.com/report.php?ID=531109

I’d contend there’s some slight sincerity that snuck in when Austin is catching up on all the history that’s happened he missed (fall of the Berlin Wall, moonlanding, realizing so many celebrities he knew from the 60s are dead) But even then it can’t help but crack jokes, so -shrug-

M
Miss Venom · April 29, 2023

Also, while it’s a joke, Austin figuring which of his friends was dead is almost sincere.

Nick Alexander · April 27, 2023

Now that they've been browbeaten into doing Austin Powers I look forward to the community bullying them into doing RRR

Every Mike Meyers movie is him being the absolutely cleverest motherfucker in the room. The thing is that it wears thin quickly. My go to example of this is So I Married An Axe Murderer, it is Mike Meyers non stop doing bits.
