MBA (Movies, Books, and Albums)
Movies, Books, Albums.
It's not that kind of "MBA".
Taking turns to nominate a movie, book, or album, three guys take you down rabbit holes and side-streets as each unpacks their take on elements that excite their curiosity... sometimes resulting in chaotic romps through the ridiculous.
What is it about the plot points in "Paddington in Peru" that remind Thorin of Nazi attempts to build the Fourth Reich in South America, and trigger memories of the "Cannibal Holocaust" for Devon? And how does David's discussion of a seminal country-rock album lead them to Charles Manson within three minutes?

Episode 3 Part 1: The Whale and Black Mamba Man
In this two-part third episode we discuss the long awaited true sequel to the 1997 hit movie George of the Jungle, where Brendon Fraser reprises his titular role in Darren Aronofsky’s bold portrayal of the trials and tribulations of Act 2 in George’s Life, in his 2022 film, “The Whale”.
We also discuss the 2017 album, “Anti Venom” by Black Mamba Man, and track the parallels between these two bodies of work, as well as other surprising influences.
