Film writer, editor, and podcaster Jake Tropila joins from Los Angeles to discuss the Coen Brothers' 1998 comedy 'The Big Lebowski', starring Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, Julianne Moore, and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Though middlingly received both critically and commercially upon release, the film has gone on to become a genuine cult classic, launching a cottage industry of fan screenings, conventions, and even a religion.

We discuss the film's patchwork of influences, including larger-than-life characters withing the Coens' orbit and the works of author Raymond Chandler, especially as adapted by Robert Altman for his 1973 film 'The Long Goodbye'. Then we discuss the film's unrivaled cast, including a superb John Goodman, who turns in an awards-caliber performance as the gun-toting, militant bowling enthusiast Walter Sobchak. Finally, we discuss the film's windy, inarticulable plot, and the way that its mechanics might conceal a deeper level of criticism about the sociopolitical landscape of America on the eve of The End of History.

Mark is a good man, and thorough, as he tries to figure out what makes The Big Lebowski so transcendent, why the Dude's abiding is meaningful, and if anything of consequence actually happens in this story.

Rockett Audio The Dude,  video out now.  Also, the guys discuss pedals in general, preferences and all kinds of interesting things related to guitars, pedal boards, bands and fan mail, while hanging out at The SoCal Riff Ranch!

Join Andrew and Brandon as they travel back to March 1998, but first Brandon gives his spoiler free (ish) review of The Batman before they focus on the war in Ukraine. You can find a link to ways to help further down in the description. After the break, they attempt to learn about the cult classic The Big Lebowski as neither have ever seen it. Brandon shows Andrew the amazingly awful *NSYNC music video for I Want You Back. Finally they finish off with Brandon probing Andrew about what he remembers about the Microsoft Monopoly hearings/trial.

Kathy Mark and Burk take a trip to the wild, sketchy side of town with Paul Hackett and Jeff Lebowski…. the persecuted heroes of Martin Scorsese's AFTER HOURS and Coen Brothers' THE BIG LEBOWSKI respectively. Two movies about characters who find themselves descending deeper and deeper into weirdness and suffering as they struggle to survive and find their way home. Do these movies still hold up? Are they time capsules? Are they realistic depictions of downtown artists, punk rockers, nihilists and the various underground types? Revisit hell with the Cinemondo gang.

SPOILER WARNING: This episode contains MAJOR SPOILERS which means important story details will be revealed. We always advise listeners to: Watch First Listen Later.

The guys venture into the woods of Newcastle, ME to talk with Mike Fava, head brewer of Oxbow Brewing. The conversation - held inside a literal farmhouse next to the brewery - makes a great case for the podcast's best so far. Fava (as he's known by essentially everyone) cut his chops brewing at Dock Street and Nodding Head in Philadelphia, and he walks us through how he ended up going from pub to farmhouse brewer with some help from a guy known as "The Dude". He shares his thoughts on what defines saison, the value in displaying production time on a beer's label, and how Oxbow came to be champions of the Italian-style pilsner through both brewing Luppolo and hosting Pils & Love. After a mutual gushing over spontaneous fermentation and Oxbow's Native/Wild, things wrap up with a Three Bay involving two of Fava's favorite things: lambic and VHS. All said, it's a truly inspiring conversation, and got Matty and Noah immediately thinking about Part II.
