As fun as the movie!

“I have been listening to this show for several months now expecting the format to become unsustainable due to the cult nature of the film and the slow pace they give themselves (1 minute at a time) to go by.
Every week I find myself pleasantly surprised by how much fun these guys are having doing the show and also how entertaining their banter is between each other! While they do sidetrack a lot they always bring it back around and their side tracks are always very entertaining and clearly always about something that they are passionate about.
A couple of thoughts to add for you guys:
First thing: There was one joke a little earlier in the film that you guys got stuck on and I think I can help clear it up. This was colonel mustards joke about Kipling. I think it’s worth revisiting because it’s maybe the most important/revealing line about who his character really is. Also, maybe his funniest joke in context?
1. When he says that he prefers Kipling and then quotes “the female of the species is more dangerous than the male.” This is a historical joke. The joke is that Kipling was famous for his poetry but colonel mustard is not quoting his poetry he is quoting the jungle book. I.E. trying to look intelligent when he really isn’t.
2. The jungle book is a children’s story. This also plays on the later joke when he says he “lost his mommy and daddy.” So they’re saying Colonel Mustard is mentally a child really
3. He likes the quote because it’s how he feels about women. Hence his later constant denials of knowing Ms. Scarlet and being somewhat in fear of her the whole movie until he is forced to come clean.
4. Kipling wrote a lot about war and soldiers and would have been very popular in the early 1900’s. So colonel mustard (who actually is in the armed forces, but we don’t yet know that in that part of the movie) is revealing that he actually has some military background.
Second thing:
Brad, you mentioned how well you can hear their footsteps earlier. I have always felt that the sound effects are really placed forward in the sound mix intentionally. My suspicion is that it’s because it’s 1954 and they want the movie to sound like a radio play. If you turn off the screen and just listen to the sound in this movie 90% of it still work’s/makes sense incredibly well. Jeff, in your interviews was this ever anything that came up or that you could confirm?”

“Love this pod but they go on tangents that are ridiculously long considering these episodes are only 20 minutes. They spend half the ep talking about Clue and half talking about weird tangents. The Clue parts are awesome, but the other stuff is cringe”
