Lauren wants to discuss Redcliff, but Kieran wants to call off their deal, saying that HE WUVS HER (basically). Lauren affirms that she isn't afraid of him (heart stopper!) and that they are still partners.
Kieran is forced to concede and looks after her, completely besotted.

Cowpunchers!The Duel (2016)The Duel directed by Kieran Darcy-Smith and starring Woody Harrelson, Liam Hemsworth, and Alice Braga.
Episode Roundup: The Cowpunchers ask the tough questions like: Is being better than "Badland" enough? Does anyone notice those things Woody Harrelson drew on his face? Was it God's Will to crush Woody Harrelson's pelvis? Will we run out of Hemsworths? Stuart doesn't appreciate Dave. Amy can't hold it together. Stuart posits that this movie was shot at a Six Flags. Amy doesn't know geography.2020-07-051h 08Weakness for BleaknessEpisode 51 - Bored of the ThingsLiterally just a slow conversation between two friends gradually losing their minds. Darcy has been going back to Lord of the Rings, and Kieran has been going back to videogames and also spends the whole episode fucking around with a latex glove that he doesn't realise is making a super irritating noise. Can't even muster up a title pun that isn't bottom-tier bogshit. 2020-04-0600 minWeakness for BleaknessEpisode 42 - Northern TerrortoryWas gonna do a "Terror Tory" double pun but tbh Labor are fully culpable too in today's topic from Darcy: The Northern Territory "Intervention".

So here's a bit of a megasode, a two hour paean to political monstrosity that orbits around the dark star of the UK Tories. Darcy runs down the origins of the name and the deep legacy of vicious ineptitude that lives on in the current party. He also takes a look at how they differ from our tories and also how the two parties resemble each other. There's kind of a mini B Topic where we gripe about how shit the current Labor party are.

Darcy wants to talk about political correctness, specifically how easy it is to say sorry and back off from a shit position, specifically how easy it is for him to walk back his vile racist slurs from last week. We're here, we're white, and we're ready to accept your plaudits for solving the problem. Kieran wants to talk about prison labour.

And Kieran wants to talk dead fish, and the cotton irrigation that likely caused the deadness of said fish.
In headlines, we got Peta Credlin and Right Power; we got the Bob Katter toad gambit; we got Macedoniae of varying legitimacy; we got the Australia Day citizenship power move. It's a big old return show, get on it.2019-01-1400 minWeakness for BleaknessEpisode 25 - Don't Do as Don Dale DoesJust a total hate-in today, a real bleaker. Darcy's recovering from a literal blow to the head and Kieran's going through some weird McDonald's-induced vagueness episode, so marvel as they stumble over their own attention spans in order to talk about: the Don Dale facility, notorious hellhole where human decency goes to die. Oh, and it's a youth detention facility, so it's twice as vile. Kieran runs through some of its history and a couple of the latest developments. Spoiler: fuck all has changed in the last two years.

One interesting thing he said, which I heard today during fifteen minutes of half-arsedly listening to an interview for some completely non-podcast related research, is "I'm not good at accents, you know, mimicking people." Just an interesting factoid!
Our big topic today is the Armistice Day Centennial and the surrounding nationalistic blood worship of military and war that has risen to accompany it.

And Kieran continues to parse the world through the only lens he has available: stylised fiction, in this case The Man in the High Castle, which he suggests might be worth watching.

Darcy's got a missive from Alex Rosenberg (not Greenberg) about the role that narrative plays in our understanding of history. The long and the short of it: we reckon yeah, probably, but like, what can we do about it? And Kieran takes a quick look at the extremely incompetent Sokal Squared hoax.
In headlines: Labor's FGAP, Kavanaugh's in, Christians still not persecuted, and gambling ads on the Opera House.
Wowee. Plus a long overdue shout-out to our closing act, Leonardo's Robot.2018-10-0900 minWeakness for BleaknessEpisode 17 - Bannon, And On, And OnYo what's up? For your main course, Kieran will be taking you through the Steve Bannon/New Yorker Festival shit-show and inarticulately trying to explain why it has nothing to do with free speech and everything to do with trying not to be in Mad Max world before 2025. He also ties in that lazy Jazz Twemlow video that's doing the rounds. Meanwhile, Darcy offers a look at Morrison's "gender whisperer" gaffe and the very real villainy that underpins it.

Kieran talks about storytelling in video games, specifically the From Software games Dark Souls and Bloodborne, atrocious nerds' favourite media to get insufferable about. And Darcy talks about comedy as the social conscience of the times and how that whole thing came to pass plus its different visages, from the alt-comedy stuff in 80s UK to now. Don't let that trick you into thinking the boys are funny though! Comedy is...2018-08-1400 minWeakness for BleaknessEpisode 13 - One Stop Co-Op ShopThe Big Question: What is a socialism? Darcy's frustrated by the implication that he's been avoiding taking a firm position, so he takes one and provides a barebones definition for his vision of socialism. Kieran appends to this a doomed attack on the concept of productivity.
In headlines, we talk about the racialisation of violent crime by Australian media, the character-assassination of the Gatwick Hotel, the Nine/Fairfax merger, and a Hot Hildebrand Take on the Super Saturday elections.2018-08-0100 minWeakness for BleaknessEpisode 10 - Into the Lion's HelmOn this week's episode, we discuss two ways in which the info-pipe is doing you wrong. First, Darcy walks us through the latest senator Leyonhjelm debacle and how the media keeps bouncing off the man's absurdity. Also, Kieran gets on his high horse to talk about the latest Apple ads and their abuse of Daniel Johnston's 'Story of an Artist'.
In headlines this week: Outsourcing gambling and NBN solutions to you, the atomised subject! Local papers are dying in the US and it might hasten the death of society at large! And monsters compete to t...2018-07-1000 min

Kieran decides to use his topic slot to drop some omni-directional economic, environmental and existential misery on the podcast for no good reason, then Darcy gives us another Tiny Primer on government debt.
In headlines, we have the slow march of authoritarianism via anti-protest legislation; we have farmers, selfishly whipping Darcy into ceaseless apoplexy; we have the latest overture to GFC 2.0 in the form of the McDouble Mortgage; and we have the NBN, screwing up again, wow, what a surprise.2018-07-0300 minWeakness for BleaknessEpisode 4 - Walk RhymesIt's all market horror from an ill Kieran and gross sexual misconduct from a less ill but no less beleaguered Darcy in the headlines this week. But don't worry, because we wash that bitter pill down with a circuitous, despairing discussion of the Gaza massacre. All this bleakness is making me thirsty.
Also at one point Kieran calls Roger Ailes "Bill Ailes" by accident. It's not a big deal.
2018-05-2200 minWeakness for BleaknessEpisode 2 - Now That's What I Call TermworkThis week, Darcy's trying to curtail your religious freedom to wage death upon the public and Kieran's as typically feckless and work-shy as any other self-entitled millenial. We go deep on some terminology so that any accusations of intellectual laxity are confined to our morality and work ethic, and we take a squiz at the circus surrounding the latest missives from the Prophet Kanye West.

Kieran is staggeringly ignorant about the state of piscine gastronomy in the USA and Darcy brings troubling portents from Godzilla's pelagic kingdom. We talk about Lyca Mobile's involvement in governmental corruption so naked it'll make you blush, then check in on the vitals of the alt-right. 2018-05-0200 min

Another Aussie in LA#50 - Kieran Darcy-SmithKieran Darcy-Smith is doing pretty bloody good for a self-confessed f*ck-up at school... His first feature, Wish You Were Here, debuted at Sundance in 2012 and since then he's been riding the Hollywood development wave with style. We talk about how Aussie TV show E-Street made acting look enticing and the early days of Blue Tongue Films. He confirms my sneaking suspicions that a good screenplay is the greatest currency and being a writer/director can be an Access All Areas pass in this town. Yup! I knew it... 2014-03-1752 min
