(please note that there is a moderate amount of swearing in this episode, so don’t listen to this around your children)
Brady and Jay answer their first FD&RA column question and then talk about Kittens.
And then, picking up shortly (about 2 minutes) after the previous episode ended, Jay, Vanessa, Nick, and Sarah with an ‘h’ tangent into fan fiction before getting back on track with Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Beware, spoilers abound! [see the previous episode here]
Other tangents brought up:
- Harry Potter fan fiction and slash fiction, and Barry Trotter
- Nick’s blog entry he wrote early this week — 2012, Alaskan blob, zombie cart
- Hamsters biting fingers
- And somewhere in the background, Nick and Jay talk about Brazil, another movie Jim Broadbent (Slughorn) was in
- (and other background topics)
- Who would win in a fight between J. K. Rowling and J. R. R. Tolkien?
- The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings Trilogy
- What Sarah needs to make her butterbeer
- Matthew’s obsession with carbonation
- Penis-shaped things
Actual topics covered (something we should do when topics last more than five minutes):
- Age discrepancies between book and movie
- ALAN F**KING RICKMAN
- Scenes dropped from the movie which would have made the movie better, and Translation vs. Adaptation in more detail
- Having to pee during these movies
- Opening night and some of the weird stuff fans do
And at some point, Jay cackles in a very creepy way and then pretends to be Joe Edwards.
And then Brady and Jay debut their new advice column, the Friends, Dating an Relationship Advice Column. Call in with your questions at 484-994-2126!
Brady says:
Jesse Mattatopolis sounds like a Brooklyn based vampire.
Jay says:
I think we should work with hand signals (and I actually look at everyone instead of the computer screen or Nick’s mic stand) instead of try and talk over everyone. Or maybe headphones will work.
Fake Nationalized Citibank Commercial from Funny Or Die. Greek prices from Greek Landscapes.
Nick says:
This was good times, especially since the girls did most of the talking. I look forward to Sarah and Nessa’s forthcoming self-published novel, Harry Potter and the Throne of Bone.
Vanessa says:
Your mom says this show is a clusterfuck of awesome. Alan rickman rocks, fanfiction does not and I want some butterbeer.
yeah, I meant to correct this, but I got distracted with reading fanfiction and baking and stuff: Blair would not have been minister, it was Major at that point.
Rickman is a very young 63 years old and I too look forward to Harry Potter and the Throne of Bone.
