We're back with all the pop culture garbage that ran through town, we got fat James Harden, we got YouTubers boxing, we got Tom Cruise yelling at people, we got Warner Brothers and we've got dominant (at least for now) Jeopardy champ. After the break, we talk David Fincher's new banger Mank (15:45) and finally, we do our Top 5 Shows of the Year (41:00).

We start off the rails we got Byron, we got Don Juan, we got Donald Logue, we got Affleck, we got Damon, we got Linklater, we got Orson, we got Chappelle, we got problems with Spotify, we got Lynch, we got Phoenix on Aster Aster on Phoenix, we got intermissions at movies, we got Eliot Page, we got The Crown...maybe. And after a break (23:00) we do a little Dick Cavett talk, Mike fires off a HOT LITTLE TAKE about Survivor on our semi-regular reality TV corner and recommends Primal. Finally, we tackle the bizarre experience that was HBO’s The Undoing (31:20).

Mike and Christian open with the passing of Alex Trebek and his righteous legacy. They also can't help but Jeopardy shop talk. This episode also marks the introduction of the GOAT PATCH. The fellas also get into Dave Chappelle's SNL episode and Chappelle's Show hitting Netflix (21:00). After a break, they fall hard and fast into a discussion about Netflix's The Queen's Gambit (42:00) and a little sprinkling of HBO's The Undoing (1:06:00)

The old fellas start by talking the 2020 election, their Halloween costume history and Borat Subsequent Movie Film. Before discussing their recent Aaron Sorkin film festival (The Social Network, Steve Jobs, Moneyball, Molly's Game) and his new film, The Trial of the Chicago 7 (30:00). Do people want to hear more Danny Boyle content?!

Fiona Apple is back and so are we. The boys discuss the perfect new Fiona Apple record "Fetch the Boltcutters", catch up on episode two of Run. Talk some recommendations including the The Last Dance, The Nice Guys, Good Boys, Midnight Gospel and the films of Maurice Pialat. Plus! A brainstorming session on ideas for our new series Hot Little Takes Classic. Technical difficulties lost the discussed Top Chef interview with Christian's mom, but a part two is coming soon. Restaurant Wars, anyone?
