Hello, dear listeners and fellow members of the proletariat! Welcome to another episode in our series “Remember! You Asked For It!” Well, we find ourselves in a teensy-weensy pickle this week. It seems that somehow, someone got ahold of a pre-post copy of this week’s show about our good chum Daaaaaave’s suggestion “The Death of Stalin.” How zany! Gosh, it appears that there may possibly have been some folks who found our little podcast episode, how shall I put it, maybe an itty-bitty bit unflattering to a particular period in Russian history, particularly the Stalin-esque period of the Soviet Union. I’ve been having a very nice chat with some lovely gentlemen with absolutely charming accents who have been kind enough to very thoroughly express their less-than-satisfied reaction to our little japes and jests and so forth. I just want to assure EVERYONE listening, and not just my new friend Sergei who is helpfully looking over my shoulder as I type, that we meant absolutely no disrespect to Great Father Stalin and if anyone misunderstood any of my silly-billy jokes about “tyranny” and “antisemitism” and “mass murder,” then I would just like to say how incredibly, totally, and sincerely I am sorry and I’m sure Comrade Stalin was a very nice fellow who liked bunny rabbits and so forth and was in no way an alcoholic dictator who caused the deaths of millions of his fellow citizens. What a goofy notion! Oh, how we are all laughing over this wacky misunderstanding? Right, Sergei? Right . . . .? [oh god he’s in the bathroom now somebody help me help me please help m]
Ha ha. The last bit was big funny humor-joke by me, Mark La Vine. Ha ha. We will be laughing now. Move along. Not to see anything here.
Poll question: what is your favorite pollical movie, thriller or otherwise?

Sigh Figh? Cy Fy? Siffi? So many ways to annoy Max!
I think many political films are good but often the ones I see are too depressing to be listed as “Favourite”. Night and Fog (1955) is a doc I think everyone should watch and live with the nightmares it gives especially as the States heads up the road again. 1984 (1984) was devastating to watch but again, it’s has a lot to say about now. Being There (1979) I guess I can call a favourite as it’s says a lot but in funny way and is just a great film that gives depth to the comedy in it.
The number of ways to annoy me are so many that modern mathematics can’t address them. Just ask the chief of all annoyances, Mike!
The only proper pronunciation is “skiffy.”
“Night and Fog”? Good lord; yes, it’s a brilliant movie and yes, everyone should see it but wow . . . How is “Being There” the most cheerful film you suggest? Everything ok? Do you need an over-sized lollipop? Lord knows I do . . .
Being There is alight romantic romp full of leprechauns fairies and ice cream compared the world today. It is a funny film though!
