Hey listener. We’ve come back for our yearly podcast. This time, we’re looking at another summer blockbuster: Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny , also known as Indiana Jones 5 , also known as Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny’s Child. This movie is unique among summer blockbusters, in that it was projected to make a lot of money, and it didn’t do that. This film has been out for several weeks now, and that has been long enough for officials to declare it a box office bomb. Ouch! Nevertheless, your hosts have taken it upon themselves to watch this two and a half hour movie to let you know what you missed by not seeing it. In this episode, we talk about Indiana Jones, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Grand Theft Auto , de-aging technology, Jaws (Quint, Hooper), The Fast and the Furious (Diesel), Antonio Banderas, Dr. Strangelove , the Coen brothers, Gimli conventions, and the art of falling asleep in a movie theater. You won’t want to miss it, because if you do, you will be less connected to the zeitgeist. We also talk about Nazis, because duh! If you have comments on Indiana Jones and the Dial of Beyonce , please share them. We love hearing from our devoted base of one listener. Please enjoy this snob as much as we enjoyed doing it, which was a whole stinking lot. I’ll tell you one thing, you’ll enjoy this episode more than anyone enjoyed Shia LaBeouf’s role in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Aliens . Fortunately, Shia is not in this movie, which means there are no scenes of a character swinging on jungle vines alongside monkeys. You’ll have to just find a way to do that in your own spare time, which we do on a weekly basis. We highly recommend it. In fact, you should probably listen to this episode while swinging around on jungle vines, just to set the mood.…

One June 10th, 2022, Jurassic World: Dominion was released. For a few days, people were talking about it, mostly regarding how bad it is. By the time this podcast episode was recorded a month later, nobody cared. It’s quite possible nobody ever cared about this movie, but the marketing was so aggressive that there was a brief moment that people believed they kind of cared. Still, lots of people saw it, for it has nearly made a billion dollars. However, just like Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, having that many people see it does not translate to having anyone remember that it even exists. In this episode, we talk about this movie that no one cares about, connecting it to previous Jurassic World movies that no one cares about as well as Jurassic Park movies that people still kind of care about. We also talk about No Country for Old Men , Jack Nicholson, and Carl Jung. Mostly, we talk about Henry Wu, the character played by B.D. Wong in four of the Jurassic films, including this one. As forgettable as this movie is, the price of the ticket was worth it to see B.D. Wong in a forlorn state after having caused the destruction of the planet with his advancements in genetic engineering. It’s very funny. We hope you enjoy this episode, listener. And if you don’t, please leave us a bad review about why you hate this podcast and unsubscribe. Thanks!…

The movie is Predator . The setting is the jungle somewhere. The characters are a lot of beefy men, and one sneaky alien who starts pickin’ em off one by one. There’s some flexin. There’s some dyin. There’s even a bareknuckle brawl starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. This movie is a rompin’ stompin’ ride, and without movies of this kind, General Snobbery podcast wouldn’t exist. And we all know a lot of people would be worse off because of that. We’re just kidding about that. We know no one listens to this podcast. But damnit! It’s fun to record. And maybe this is the episode that really takes off. In this episode, Matt and Sean talk about a lot of things, some of which are parts of the movie Predator . Other things include the Mortal Kombat character Reptile, the Greek myth of the Labyrinth, and Danny Glover. Prepare yourself, listener. This one’s bound for explosion, macho man style.…

The Legend of Bagger Vance is a movie that not many people saw, and that very few people still talk about. But we’re still talking about it, damnit! Why? Well, you’ll just have to listen to find out, Listener. That’s the only way you’ll learn what this R. Redford/W. Smith film has to do with suburban dads who live lives of suppressed anger that manifests as psychotic rage. Enjoy!…

Hey Listener! Remember Lake Placid ? It’s a movie that has Bill Pullman, Oliver Platt, and Betty White as a foul-mouthed woman who fed her husband to a giant crocodile. It’s a hoot! No, this snob is not about the sequel, Lake Placid vs. Anaconda . It’s just about the boring ole original. But hey! We also talk about other movies like Jurassic Park , The Shining, Stand by Me, Silence of the Lambs, and Major League: Back to the Minors. You don’t want to miss this snob. If you do, an aquatic creature might bite your head off any moment.…

Hey Listener. This episode is about Mel Gibson’s Mel Gibson’s Apocalypto. Did we mention Mel Gibson made this film? In case you didn’t know that, you will after this episode. Except for the parts where we don’t talk about Apocalypto at all and instead talk a lot about life coaches. But maybe those also have something to do with Mel Gibson. Who the fuck knows.…

Hey Listener. Did you hear that there’s a pandemic afoot? Did you know that M. Night Shyamalan predicted it in 2008 with his prophetic film, The Happening ? Don’t let Mark Wahlberg’s atrocious acting fool you — this movie has a message. And it’s a message that we can always laugh during times of strife, even when random kids that enter halfway through the movie are getting shot on a random person’s doorstep. Good luck surviving the apocalypse! Who knows what twists are coming next.…

Hey Listener. In this episode, Matt and Sean snob about James Cameron’s Avatar , a movie that people cared about a lot for a while, and barely talk about anymore. Why are we talking about Avatar when a global pandemic is destroying the fabric of civilization? Well, why does James Cameron fancy himself an explorer of the sea? Some questions just don’t have answers. For those questions, we turn to the snobbing table, because sometimes that’s the only thing that makes sense. Especially when you’re talking about a movie where giant blue people fuse their braids with plants and dragons.…

What do two shows on the History Channel have to do with Scott Stapp? Probably not that much, but at least something, because all of them are discussed on this new episode of General Snobbery, where we examine the strange intersection between masculinity and conspiracy that seems to exist in these craaaazy times. Forged in Fire and Ancient Aliens are pretty wild shows, so this episode is a pretty wild ride! We hope you’ll join us. *This episode is brought to you by Farts.

Ready Player One is directed by Spielberg, Steven, who has had Asian stereotypes decorate his films all the way since IJ and the T of D (not including the vaguely Asian characteristics of the shark from Jaws). Ready Player One is about a kid named Wade Watts, whose alter ego is Parzival — regardless of which persona he inhabits, he’s a really bad actor. He has one face, and it’s a very ugly face. He earns no sympathy. Unfortunately, he survives in the end — but at least Simon Pegg does, too. This is a movie that thinks it’s really important. It’s about Steven Spielberg celebrating Steven Spielberg. It doesn’t care about the dangers of technology and instead makes technology seem awesome. It’s about worshipping a massive dork named Mark Rylance. It’s about Easter eggs, but there’s no rabbit in sight. There is, however, an Iron Giant, and Beetlejuice, and a lot of other dumb things. You probably shouldn’t watch this movie. If you do, we wish you luck. Also, you should definitely listen to this podcast, cause we hardly talk about the movie, since it’s not interesting. Instead, we talk about interesting things like Stranger Things , and cultural nostalgia, and mythology, and social media, and VR. Our podcast is a lot better than Ready Player One .…

No dialogue, none. Just Arnold screams. Wow, this is going to be a good movie. And then, Arnold eyes bulging out of a prosthetic Arnold face. Okay, I get it. This is going to be one of the best movies ever made. Hello listener, let's take an Interstellar trip. Doug Quaid (not to be confused with Dennis) is just an average, blue collar Austrian-American living in the future. He has an attractive wife and while he doesn't love his job, it's stable. But there's one thing in life he really wants, like, really really wants. And that's to go to Mars. However, since Hey Arnold can't afford a trip to Mars, he goes on a mind trip by way of a memory Inception device which spurs him to remember that he is a secret agent who had worked for Cohaagen but had switched allegiance to Kuato. Just so you're aware, Cohaagen is a man and Kuato is a speaking wart. Nonetheless, once the Memento of Quaid's old life comes back to him, he is hunted down like a beast, on earth, on mars, in the bright day, and during the Dark Knight. As he learns more about his Prestige ious career as a Cohaagen crony, he sympathizes more and more with the Dunquirky mutants of mars, like the "three breasted prostitute", and attempts to free them from the Danish yoke of Cohaagen by starting the reactor and making oxygen. Listener, this description is no doubt a confusing mess, But man Begins to understand the story more when one considers whether the entire story is but an illusion, an empty memory made to make old Quaid feel good about his life. Despite what the most accurate reading of the film is, two things are for certain: science fiction can really comment on the intricacies of humanity and Paul Verhoeven (not to be confused with Cohaagen) is a goddamn genius. Thank you for joining us listener. And if you must listen to one thing today, please listen to Arnold screaming. Also, Dean Norris is in this film and II'm pretty sure his character from Breaking Bad - Hank Schrader - suffered from Insomnia.…
