Podcast 10-31-07

All over the place. Fenton brings up seeing Max Raabe and the Palast Orchester at Royce Hall on the UCLA campus, but James intercepts with the non sequitur, "Eat it! Lick it! Snort it! Fuck it!" Will the writers strike cripple the soaps? Fenton struggles to find something profound to say about writing in LA. Should writers in LA be called something other than writers? "Every group of people is essentially horrible," says James. Dumbledore. Harry and William. Some sketchy English history. Guy Fawkes. (Pause.) "This podcast is terrible," notes Fenton. James reads aloud the stories he's marked in Entertainment Weekly – about TV hosts and such. Fame rubs off on the lesser renowned. Perez Hilton. Chris Crocker. Jefree Star. Brokeback Mountain. James' recent letter to Michael Alig. Kim Kardashian. Rumer Willis. Mandy Moore. Ashlee Simpson. Kate Hudson. "How long," asks James, "does Gwyneth get to coast on her Oscar of 10 years ago?" Renée Zellweger, Cuba Goodin Jr, Marisa Tomei. "Paris Hilton has a doctorate in public manipulation," says Fenton, in context. Sharon Stone, the first firecrotch. Then, as abruptly as it started, the podcast ends. (Did you spot the mystery staffer of yesterday?)
