Cinemanimals Nights CINEMANIMALS : NIGHTS - episode 8 "Devil Dog: Hound From Hell"We watched DEVIL DOG: THE HOUND OF HELL, a 1978 TV movie in which the devil takes the form of a German Shepard who very gently possesses a man’s family, making them sleepy and murderous. The version on Tubi has a weird noise on it, so if you want to watch DEVIL DOG: HOUND OF HELL, just ask Simon for a Blue-ray, he probably has more than one. What’s this movie about?

Cinemanimals Nights Wild BeastsFor this episode of CINEMANIMALS NIGHTS, which continues to bear no legal relationship to our former podcast (“CINEMANIMALS,”) but is a *new* podcast about animal movies, we watched the 1984 horror movie WILD BEASTS, in which someone puts PCP in the water supply of a German zoo. WILD BEASTS has rats getting flamethrowered, a Mercedes crashing through a chandelier store, and tigers eating horseheads. According to my notes there is one boob in it, but I don’t remember.

Truth Jihad Radio Jonathan Simon Offers Updates on Election FraudJonathan Simon, one of America’s leading election integrity experts, asks: “What happens when a dangerous and serial liar like Donald Trump blunders onto an inconvenient and disruptive truth? The truth Trump is inadvertently pointing to is not that elections in the United States are rigged, but that our privatized, electronic vote counting system is unobservable and incapable of proving that it is not rigged. This is a true crisis for American democracy.”I interviewed Jonathan Simon before and immediately after the 2020 election. How have his views on the national crisis of confidence around Trump v.

Her husband, Simon, is a former professor of family and preventive medicine at University of California, San Diego and a professor of sport and exercise psychology at San Diego State University.

We also form actual English sentences about things done or said by Enes Kantor, Carmello Anthony, the 49ers, and the WNBA finals.

Then we give America WHAT IT NEEDS: Simon's deep reportage on watching the Mayweather/McGregor fight at a movie theater with his father, his uncle's triumph at the Ironman Coeur d'Alene, an ESPN story about the NFL's CTE research project about jockeys, and the economic and gustatory disappointment of whiskey tastings.

We also GET SERIOUS about playground bullies, flops of many varieties, Ted Bundy, faking your own death, cartwheeling goalies, and the awfulness of...

Dave's in an Icelandic hostel, Mikal's driving around his neighborhood for some reason and I'm just in my apartment, like always. We definitely talked about sumo wrestling for awhile and the Legends Football League and we became gradually more curious about tennis and soccer. Probably not one of our better episodes; I'm not going to try to oversell it.

Then we tilt our ears to the ground, the better to hear the Kyrie Irving trade rumblings, and we lose ourselves in the LEBRON QUESTION, the KAEPERNICK QUESTION, and the BOOGIE/RONDO question.

FOR NO GOOD REASON we critique academic residencies from the right and ourselves from the left, but as is GOOD AND PURE we can only be ourselves, so we pass the time CRAPPING OUR PANTS about underwater welding, coral reef poetry, curling, and Mölkky, which means we are BOUND BY LAW to reflect on the relationship between DEEP PERSONAL SHAME and FROZEN YOGURT.

Make Room For Sports Episode 720: DildosListeners: this is a strange episode. Mikal, who called out sick with the barfs, is guilted into calling in after we started, but his call causes Skype to splinter into several different conversations between or among random combinations of the four of us. Somehow, Simon managed to record a̶l̶l̶ some of them, and we've since spent what a pilot makes in a year in order to edit them into one dimension-busting hour of DEEPLY INFORMED "sports" "analysis," i.e. fifty-five minutes of HOOPS BLABBER that gives way to Simon's report on his night at a M...

We have a totally gauche conversation about how much money everyone makes before moving on to the TOP SPORTS NEWS of the week, mainly: Yadier Molina or Tom Brady eats glass or gets a baseball stuck to him, or neither, or something. For some reason, Simon and Mikal role play a patient/therapist scenario, during which the SPORTS BROS get up to date on the best practices in handling panic attacks. After that, things get hard to describe, but for the record: Mikal can't stop thinking about animals that die on the field...
