Send us a textSCARF SEASON CONTINUES WITH THE WHALE!Thar she blows, Part II of our initial Darren Aronofsky pairing for Season 11 of TGTPTU: THE WHALE (2023). Special guest Ryan returns to continue cohosts Ken and Thomas’ temporal pincer movement of working our way from first and last films sequentially inward and he provides a dissident and dissonant voice to the cohosts’ The Whale love song. Aronofsky’s showy editing techniques and techno score of his first film PI take a backburner in his latest film, a bottle story adapted by and from Idahoan Samuel D. Hunter’s play of the same title. Central to the story and the subject of heated discussion is the extreme obesity of its gay protagonist played by a straight man in a fat suit, the marketing of which could be problematic. The film would gain Hong Chau an Oscar nom for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Liz, a nurse/bff/sister-not-quite-in-law to Charlie, played by Brendan Fraser, his first time nominated for and his first Academy Award win (Best Actor), kicking off talk of a Brenaissance. And for the makeup transforming Fraser into the shut-in, online college literature professor Charlie estranged from his daughter played by Sadie Sink of Stranger Things fame, the film would receive a second Oscar for Makeup and Hairstyling.Additional Note: The Oregon coast is cold.Final Note: This episode stinks. This parody is so dumb. You’ll love/hate our takes.(Hey, that’s a haiku!)THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: [email protected]: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Twitter: https://twitter.com/thegoodthepoda1YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gBuzzsprout: https://thegoodthepodandtheugly.buzzsprout.com/Letterboxd (follow us!):Ken: Ken Koral
