Til Death Do Us Blart 2015 - it begins

Okay, so basically it's a podcast show that only happens once a year and it happens on American Thanksgiving (which of course I don't celebrate but I do get time off work so I do this and cook food and do literally anything that's not shopping) and you can find it here: https://www.themcelroy.family/deathdousblart .

Yes. It's a McElroy Brothers & Tim & Guy production. Five guys watch Paul Blart Mall Cop, Too and talk about it. It's not the best idea. I love it so very much. (It used to be that I would listen to the classic tune Alice's Restaurant every year, but the last time I listened I was fully caught off guard by the use of a slur about gay folks towards the back end of the piece and, you know. I get to say no.) 

What follows is a reaction to this reaction, to this show, this work of Art, this extended contemplation of what can only be called Utter CrapShitGarbage. 

There will be 10 of these because there are 10 of those, except there will actually be 11 because the gathered boys dropped a surprise in 2020, so there's one more.

Did they know? Do we know even now?

The lead up to a holiday I do no honor &

will use for better ends is dusted in the sounds

of good good boys surviving every year &

the inevitable mediocrity and garbage of Paul Blart Mall Cop, Too.

The part where that movie's name is 5 syllables.

Every episode is about an hour & I wonder about

what space can hold in other hours.

The TBR pile on the coffee table is a good star.

Here's the thing, there's nothing fine about

this unironic SEQUEL

to the garbage that I do not believe anyone

watched in the first place. Listen - who wanted this?

I get to walk with this wild and woolly

annual reaction conversation on the train,

in the kitchen, building my world on the

hope of sunsets and deep breaths.

It's a terrible movie, y'all.

I will never watch it, there is no need.

My job is to do better.
