PG Movies, Dead Santas & Why Everything Feels Fake Now | Ep. 70
from Austin Anderson Show
Today’s episode kicks off with me staring out the window at a gentle snowfall—gentle like a murderer whispering “don’t worry about it” while they drag a body. And suddenly I’m questioning whether snow can “cascade.” So naturally, I look it up, learn nothing helpful, and immediately demand the government chemtrail the sky so I can finish renovating my house before I freeze to death.Then we dive headfirst into Gremlins, the most deranged PG “kids movie” ever made. I unpack Spielberg’s long history of unleashing horror on unsuspecting children, why E.T. deserved to get butter-knife-shanked, and how Gremlins casually includes the most traumatic Santa story of all time.From there it spirals—as it should—into the great tragedy of our age: ads are everywhere, authenticity is dead, and even YouTube interviews feel like being held hostage at QVC.Finally, we roll into WalletHub’s ranking of America’s Top 5 Most Sinful Cities, discover Houston is apparently a war zone, and confirm that Omaha is… tired. Just a tired little carb-loaded Midwestern town.It’s chaos. It’s therapy. It’s December 1st.Ho ho ho. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
