824: Method Actor’s Superman

Neal delivers an overview of the second hand sock market, considers how a method actor tackles Superman, wonders whether scalding the roof of your mouth would soften your Cs and discusses the presumptiousness of Stan and Ollie (2018), songs from The Producers (1967), how Steve Jobs made phone screems seem real, the trouble with real crime docu-dramas, digital de-aging versus hair dye, how to watch sci-fi, staff literacy on Star Trek: The Next Generation, defending Chaplin from you Americans, why smells are a loss leader, Bono’s train station shame, striped clothes in windows, assessing your child’s first words, a pea picking childhood, an overture to this episode, the science of reducing pure drivel to something purer, calling your children maidens, Marlon Brando’s Digital Corpse and more.
