Summary
Josh and Eric record while Eric is in Las Cruces with poor internet, having forgotten his microphone, and while he is attending events tied to a film festival and a grand opening. Eric describes interrupting Steve Zahn for a photo and later apologizing, while they joke about “everything everywhere all at once” jumpers and embarrassment as narcissism. They discuss the grim state of New Mexico film production despite festival sponsorships, bird poop “good luck,” and what they’ve been watching: Eric’s first-time Harry Potter run (including an Alfonso Cuarón “ice/eyes” anecdote), Slow Horses season five, Your Friends and Neighbors , Project Hail Mary , and the new Mario movie, while Josh recommends The Pitt and DTF and mentions seeing the new Faces of Death and excitement for the Backrooms horror film. 00:00 Back on the Pod 01:29 Celebrity Breakfast Selfie 03:26 Embarrassment and Narcissism 05:46 Film Industry Slump 07:07 Accidental Viewer Link 08:19 Festival Passes and Attire 09:23 Bird Shit and Shoe Lore 10:56 What We're Watching 11:15 First Time Harry Potter 12:30 Alfonso Cuaron Ice Story 14:17 Butterbeer and Potter Hype 14:36 Project Hail Mary and Mario 16:00 Mario Movie Ratings 16:48 Slow Horses Obsession 18:28 Apple TV Picks 19:44 The Pit and DTF 21:56 Bateman and Movie Gaps 23:51 Bdubs Last Meal 25:40 Faces of Death 27:50 Oscars and Backrooms 31:28 Wrap Up and Shoutouts
