The Rashomon of Money

S1 E3: Second Wave. It's Halloween and we're getting real spooky
with it. Join us for an episode of cult-like surfboard burnings,
overdone villain acting, bad movies, and more of our general
nonsense.


Michael gets a better mic next week! Morgan also learns not to
leave a fan on during recording later in the show's run.


Episode discussion starts @03:24. Post-episode discussion starts

Assorted Show Notes:


@05:40 Manos Hands Of Felt.


@09:49 The trailer for Neil Breen's "Double Down".


@24:36 Mostly the "Dead Person Impersonation" trope. Not exactly
the same thing as the episode but it is used similarly to remove
power from your "protagonist" in a way that makes you, the
viewer, feel powerless to help them.


@46:15 A reference to the Reply All episode "The Case Of The
Missing Hit" in which a man tries to find a song that has been
stuck in his head for years, going as far as recreating it from
memory.


@46:35 Referencing the Central Park musical number (time stamped
for the scene from full film) from Creating Rem Lezar which is
1/3 Doo-Wop, 1/3 rap, and 1/3 ballad over violin.


@49:25 The Slap is an 8 episode mini-series based off an
Australian series of the same name. It details the fall-out of a
group of friends after one of them, at a party, slaps someone
else's misbehaving child. The American version and Australian
version are mostly the same, besides the fact that Australian
television has far greater amounts of nudity.


@59:45 Here is an example of the Wall Of Death from an Exodus
show.
