Episode 027: Who the hell are we to (Mike) Judge?

Summary: It’s Tom’s turn to call the shots this time around and he chooses two films from the mind of Mike Judge. But before we get started with that your humble host offers up his review of Oliver Stone’s 2012 film SAVAGES. Max, Jenna and Dave discuss the passion and pretense of all things Oliver Stone including his 2008 film W. This, logically, culminates in a discourse about the many wonders of marijuana. Jeff Schroeck from the indie-punk band Black Wine stops in to discuss his music, love for our show, and his family life with big brother Tom. Jeff sticks around to review OFFICE SPACE and IDIOCRACY with the gang, a discussion you’d have to be hit with a stupid stick not to love. Not only do we talk about the filmmaker and his gleefully incisive understanding of the human condition but we also discuss our personal experiences in the work place, the myriad issues swirling around our respective sexualities, and our dealings with all kinds of idiots! Hey, who the hell are we to (Mike) Judge? SPECIAL SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT We want to give a warm welcome to the newest member of The Cutting Room family, Mr. Claude Appollon. Claude’s our silent conscience, handling the sound editing on the last two episodes and he’s relieved a helluva burden from Joe (who’s still MIA by the way. If anyone sees Joe tell him we have a bone to pick. Where the hell are you!?). Anyway, welcome, Claude! Glad to have you aboard.
