Episode 161: The Good, The Bird And The Lazy

Yo, yo! It’s time for another episode of Bird Protocol! This week, the Bird Boys sit down and chat about everything they’ve been watching, playing, and listening to as well as all the crazy and fun things going on in the world. It’s a new Lazy Bird episode for your head tops!We start the episode off with a short tribute to a fallen friend, PALMREADER’s best pal Tucker, who has now gone on to his next big adventure somewhere beyond the veil. Speaking of someone important to us passing, another titan of cinema is suddenly gone and it sucks. Rest in peace to the extremely talented Gene Hackman. We take some time to reflect on his impact on film as a whole and his outstanding on-screen career from “The Conversation” to “The French Connection” to “Unforgiven” to “The Royal Tenenbaums” and more. Then, Otis shares some tales of his recent experience of seeing John Cena turn heel and side with The Rock at the WWE Elimination Chamber event in Toronto. He had hell of a time at a historic night of wrestling (minus a few morons).Following this, we break down this year’s Oscars… Who were the night’s big winners? Who should have won but didn’t? What did we think of the nominees? Is “Amelia Perez” a good movie? Why don’t people give proper respect to the technical awards? All these questions and more are answered to the best of our knowledge. Then, we pivot to what we’ve been watching, including “The Pitt”, “Daredevil: Born Again”, “Kneecap”, “Reacher”, “A Complete Unknown”, “Treme”, and more. We also discuss some of our recent listens including 2 Chainz, Larry June, and The Alchemist’s “Life Is Beautiful”, Architect’s “The Sky, The Earth, & All Between”, The Strokes’ “Is This It” and the early 2000’s New York indie rock scene, Paris Texas’ new album “They Left Me With The Sword” and the accompanying “They Left Me With A Gun” EP, Big Hit’s “Free Big Hit”, Reason’s “I Love You Again”, L. S. Dunes’ “Violet”, new PUP, Spy’s “Seen Enough” EP, and more. To close things out, we get a little political and discuss the importance of voting, searching out the proper information on the parties and their platforms, and why you DEFINITELY should be voting this year. Considering all the political craziness going on in the world, don't let your voice go unheard.Thanks for hanging with us!
