The Moon Under Water: A Pubcast with Kelly Daniels and Steve JonesJurassic SnarkThe fellas watch Jones' fave. They don't agree on much about this film, though they both were rooting for the velociraptors to feast on the two bratty kids. And: Newman!
2025-08-201h 11The Moon Under Water: A Pubcast with Kelly Daniels and Steve JonesFast Times at the Riverview RoadhouseThe guys have fond memories of the great Gen X high school comedy, Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Did it hold up all these years later? You won't believe the answer! In other news, Daniels goes for laughs by awkwardly singing Sammy Hagar's theme song. It doesn't land, so he doubles and triples down on the bit. Still not funny, but he goes down swinging.
2025-08-0653 minThe Moon Under Water: A Pubcast with Kelly Daniels and Steve JonesWhat If the Preppers Are Right?: A Deep Dive into a Last of Us Side-QuestMax's The Last of Us can be summed up like this: mushroom zombies. Jones objects to narratives that start as video games, and Daniels just finds the overall series kind of so-so as far as these things go. But: episode three, "Long, Long Time," starring a terrific Nick Offerman, which stands alone fine without the rest of the story, is original, touching, exciting, and surprising. Who'd have thought the apocalypse could be this...well, nice?

Jones goes full infomercial, Daniels gets increasingly worse at pronouncing Spanish names, but Sami holds it all together with wit and verve. If you can read Spanish, buy her new linked story collection! If not, no worries. She's translating it herself into English.

Daniels is too effete for that kind of thing...you know, popular novels that get turned into blockbuster Hollywood films. He even doubts you know what "effete" means. But this podcast is about learning. No pain, no gain. Daniels read the book, and kind of liked it, but don't tell his fancy university friends. Also, who'd of thought they had computer chips for brains way back in 1972?

Just kidding about the last part but Kelly is audibly annoyed and spends the episode trying to shame everyman Steve, who fails to be ashamed. Is this the best podcast episode ever? No. Will you learn something you didn't already know about Orwell, the absurdity of colonialism, and the strange shame and appeal of capital punishment? Unlikely. Will the voices keep you company as you walk the dog, fold your laundry, drive across town...

The volcano, and the poet, and the other characters, and the situation, are kind of metaphors for this or that, and Steve doesn't like metaphors. Steve does like the other story though, the non-metaphorical thriller about a bunch of doped out amateur drug smugglers who are just not really pulling it off on their sailboat in the Caribbean Sea.

Kelly doesn't like to mix magic with his sci-fi; Steve just thinks it's an enjoyable movie. Without any love in his heart, Kelly turns to smut and DEI jokes. It ain't pretty.
From Slate:
Whose idea was it to turn Minority Report into a mushy declaration of humanism? It ends up as less of a warning about an Orwellian police state than a protest that Pre-Cogs are people, too. It's Dick-less.

2024-12-241h 20The Moon Under Water: A Pubcast with Kelly Daniels and Steve JonesDeath in Morocco: Two Disturbing Stories by Paul BowlesSteve traipsed around Morocco last summer, breaking from his 5-Star comfort zone into (gasp) a room without air conditioning, among other horrors. This hardship prompted a dive into the warped fiction of the great Paul Bowles--buddy of William S. Burroughs, acclaimed author and composer, famous ex-pat, lover of men back when that kind of thing could get you in trouble, and generally an interesting cat. The stories under consideration: "A Distant Episode" and "The Delicate Prey." Good thing the MUW boys never get tongue-tied, and let's hope it stays that way.

Daniels--the self-affirmed Orwell scholar--can't get past chapter one. Instead, he tries to save face by bringing in his own favorite novel of authoritarian dystopia.

Steve took a watch and emerged a fan. This film has it all: drinking, pot smoking, sex, cars, baseball, male bonding, purpose of life philosophical musings, romance, the never-ending search for identity, and finally, love.

But he gladly rereads this old favorite (the Salinger story, not the anime), and decides it holds up just fine. Here's the big question though: what's up with Seymore and that little girl? Is he, like, able to connect with children because he's the only honest adult left, or is he a bit of a pedo? That and other crucial questions discussed.
