Lars Periwinkle is a bit concerned about his good buddy Joel Murphy. It seems he recently got a text from Joel that he was watching Gladiator, a movie they both have mocked endlessly for its inexplicable Best Picture win.

They also talk about the rise of debate superstar Ken Bone, Joel takes some time to nitpick one actor’s performance in Ghostbusters and Lars updates us on the surprising career turn for one of the actors in 28 Days Later.

Why did Joel watch Gladiator in its entirety? Is Betty Curse a pun? What has that got to do with it? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.

This week’s music:

• Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
• End – “Saturday” by Maxwell Powers
