En el episodio 24 de esta temporada hablaremos de la película "ATERRIZA COMO PUEDAS 2" ('Airplane II: The Sequel', 1982). Dirigida por Ken Finkleman, esta secuela de la mítica comedia paródica nos lleva del avión al espacio, con una nueva misión tripulada a la Luna repleta de desastres, absurdos y gags delirantes. Aunque no contó con el mismo equipo creativo que la original, la película mantiene el espíritu gamberro y el humor disparatado, con Robert Hays, Julie Hagerty y Lloyd Bridges retomando sus papeles. *Sintonía de entrada: Lucidator de Saggitarius V.

On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are landing this damn space shuttle on the moon even if it kills us! We watched the 1982 film from Ken Finkleman, Airplane II: The Sequel.Do you ever get a feeling of extreme déjà vu while you're watching a movie? The sort of feeling where you could swear you've seen this exact thing before, but maybe with a few slight changes?It's like the black cat crossing Neo's path a couple times in The Matrix. Something is wonky in the world, but you're not sure what it means.We think you'll get that feeling in spades while watching this sequel to the first Airplane movie. So pervasive will the sensation be that you'll only be able to shake it by enjoying this episode!(Recorded on July 05, 2023)Links to Stuff We Mentioned:Airplane II: The Sequel - The Movie Database (TMDB)Airplane II: The Sequel trailer - YouTubeCollision Course (1989) — The Movie Database (TMDB)Airplane!

Welcome to the House of Crouse. This weeks we opened the vault and John Lydon jumped out! It's an encore conversation with the Sex Pistol about life, perception and a movie called "Sons of Norway." then Ken Finkleman swings by to talk about his new movie "An American Dream" and share stories about working "as a hack" in Hollywood. Find out how he dealt with his crew's taste for cocaine on the set of "Airplane 2." It's good stuff. C'mon in and sit a spell.

On his day off between Just for Laughs tour stops in Thunder Bay and Winnipeg, a slightly under-the-weather Jeremy Hotz joins us for the second time to talk with Paul Little about Just for Laughs, working with Ken Finkleman, the state of Canadian television, the improvised nature of his sets, and how despite never really going the political comedy route, even his current shows spend a couple minutes touching on the craziness that's going on in the never-ending American election cycle.

Participating in the Krispy Kreme Challenge challenged Ben in more ways than one. Don is looking for a new podcasting mic and he is getting some guidance from Dan Benjamin’s guide. The guys discussed the download statistics for the podcast and Folding Text to manage their pre-show notes, as well as Don’s homework, The Newsroom (Canadian TV series), which prompted Don to correctly note the excessive plaid fashions. Bill Hallman had provided some further thoughts on the “no illness language” in recall notices (FST Episode 33) which led to a broader discussion about recalls, including one for Listeria in Crab Dip. The discussion continued with Listeria, namely Missa Bay LLC's recall due to Listeria in apple slices and the more recent FDA warning letter to the company. Don and Ben were surprised by where and how much Listeria was found by the FDA. The guys agreed that the publication of these warning letters was a good thing – not only for customers, but also to provide valuable information to suppliers of similar products – which reminded Ben of the Blue Pages for teachers. The guys then switched to the Chicago Tribune article “Triclosan: Anti-bacterial soaps called useless, potentially dangerous” that Don had been interviewed for (based on his publication “A Meta-Analysis of the Published Literature on the Effectiveness of Antimicrobial Soaps.”) The average benefit of antimicrobial soaps over normal soaps was about 0.5 log, or 63%, and Don explained that the benefits were greatest when the contamination levels of hands were high, for example after handling raw meat and poultry or after cleaning up vomit. Then Ben and Don got back into the reusable bag discussion. This was prompted by an article by Klick and Wright (not Watson and Crick). Klick and Wright combined Gerba, Williams and Sinclair’s research on bacteria in reusable shopping bags with a pathogenic E. coli related illnesses and deaths in hospital in the San Francisco area. They concluded that the ban on grocery bags led to an increase of 5.4 additional deaths per year, though Ben got really fired up on Barfblog about the lack of epidemiology and microbiology evident in the article. Don also took issue with a couple of lawyers mistaking correlation with causation and recalled FST Episode 19 where the guys had discussed reusable bags, which Carl Custer likes to call nickel bags (or check out this link). Ben then shared that that his department was advertising a local food extension / research position to collect evidence for a range of possible impacts of local food systems, including food safety, nutrition, or related areas. This led to a discussion about local food systems and Don was all in favor of fresh food, such as the locally source food available at Wegmans. In the after dark the guys geeked out with Folding Text, Markdown and its syntax, the octothorpe (not to be confused with Dr. Octavius from Spider-Man 2), Ben’s Garage Band workflow, Apple messages for the Mac, and Ken Finkleman.
