Yo! It’s time for another Lazy Bird episode, which means you’re in for some raw, unfiltered thoughts from your favourite Bird Boys. So, strap in because we’ve got some praises to sing and some nits to pick as we cover some of the things we’ve seen, listened to, and done together over the last couple of weeks.
To start things off, we recap a day of mini-golf with the homies and the pros and cons of the course. Pros? Alcohol, little to no oversight. Cons? No upkeep, wasps, nasty water in some of the holes, and no real vibe or novelty to the course. Not a lot of pizazz, which is necessary for the true mini-golf experience. Do we need more novelty mini-golf courses near us? Yes. Yes, we do. Preferably with dinosaurs. We had fun, though.
In this episode, we also discuss some stuff we’ve watched lately, including the new “Happy Gilmore”, Adam Sandler having fun, Bad Bunny’s rise, and our favourite Happy Madison movies. Plus, we both have a lot to say about “Jurassic World: Rebirth” and “Final Destination: Bloodlines” and the failings of studio-led (and rushed) franchise films. PALMREADER loves the Jurassic franchise but has some serious issues with “Rebirth”, and Otis doesn’t feel like “Bloodlines” hit properly due to many of the deaths being spoiled by the film's promotional materials. It’s doubly troubling when we compare these films to some of the other legacy sequels that did it right, so where do franchise films and studios go from here? Hopefully not nose-first into more ketamine. We also discuss a riveting rewatch of “Westworld” that PALMREADER is undertaking with his girlfriend. It still rips. Someone let Jonathan Nolan make season five because we need to know how the story ends. Plus, “Alien: Earth” is almost here, and PALMREADER is stoked. Hopefully, Noah Hawley has it in him to land the plane with this long-awaited passion project.
We also discuss some recently released music including “Alfredo 2” from Freddie Gibbs and The Alchemist (plus, The Alchemist’s generational run in the last 5-6 years), “Don’t Tap The Glass” from Tyler, The Creator, Russ’ “Wild” album and the wild DJ Lucas feature, Ovrkast., Benny The Butcher’s “Summertime Butch 2”, Moving Mountains’ “Pruning Of The Lower Limbs”, Aitch’s “4”, and more. Also, Chance The Rapper is back in two weeks... will his return be triumphant or the final nail in the coffin? PALMREADER anxiously awaits "Star Line" and, after the latest single and seeing the cover art, is cautiously optimistic.
That’s all for us! We’ll be back again soon. Until then...
