Murder? I Hardly Know Her

If you need something to listen to while you hide under your bed, put on this week’s episode with comedian Allen Strickland Williams, whose album, Ran Through, is available now, joining Matt & Vince to talk about Mad Men season five episode four, “Mystery Date.”

The offices of SCDP are abuzz after Joyce brings some grizzly photos of the Speck Murders for everyone to gawk at. The images clearly get into Don’s head, because he goes home and has a dream about murdering a former fling he encountered earlier in the day. He doesn’t really want to kill her, of course. He wants to have sex with her, but he knows he shouldn’t, and choking her to death is the best solution his subconscious can come up with. 

Sally is freaked out by the news of the nursing students getting murked, but luckily, her stepgrandmother is there to posit that maybe those young women deserved to get murdered because they were sluts. I think technically this scene passes the Bechdel Test.

In brief: We discuss the 2014 Zionist jormp-jomp Elvis biopic 'The Identical,' Jed York's prostitution arrest, and the AI version of the Frotcast a listener made for us.

In full:

FROTCAST CORRECTIONS DEPARTMENT: Last week, we referred to Finnish people as “Scandinavian”, which we did not know was incorrect. But let’s face it, neither did anyone else except the one guy who said something about it. The Frotcast regrets the error. [Vince's Note: I knew this, pretty sure I said so, but was corrected on it anyway. So it goes.]

Before we get to the Frotcast, you have to endure…The Fraudcast! That’s right, one of you nerds made our unholy idea of a Frotcast LLM come to life. The results are as bad as the last century of sci-fi would have you believe, but still better than the actual Frotcast. In keeping with behaviors of other cutting-edge tech companies, we have unilaterally decided to force this upon you with no redress. Hail Elon.

Next, the CEO of our beloved San Francisco 49ers, Jed York, was arrested over the weekend in an Ohio trailer park for attempting to hire a prostitute. Arresting officers were bewildered as to why a billionaire would be poon-renting in a trailer park, apparently unable to make the connection to being in Ohio.

This week we watch The Identical, because Vince randomly remembered he saw it over a decade ago and had to spread his misery to us. What follows is a story about twins separated at birth, one who becomes Elvis But Not Really Elvis, the other who becomes an Elvis But Not Really Elvis Impersonator. The Six Day War is in there too. Apparently this is a project by a Jews for Jesus group dedicated to advancing Zionism. Sorry, I had a stroke there. Solid B+.
