Author, filmmaker and ardent basketball fan Sherman Alexie joins me to discuss one of my favorite topics: The 1990s. Though, to be honest, we stray from that subject and get into others subjects of interest. Such as!
* Rob Mahoney thinks “Smells Like Teen Spirit” is bad. Fair?
* Smells Like Teen Spirit changed everything
* What was the last great movie?
* Why, exactly, Toby Keith’s “Courtesy of the Red White and Blue” became a hit again two decades later
* The cognitive dissonance for White Liberals seeing people who look and talk like them having different politics
* McDonald’s as blue collar space
* Sherman could plausibly be from half the world
* I’m mesmerized by how different the Canadians are
* Sports media’s been socially pressured into softness
* The laudable grandiosity of Timothée Chalamet
* The theory behind YouTube athletic stars
* Is more fictional content political or are we just more sensitive to political messages?
* Who are the ALL TIME “Pretendian” actors
