Gutterballs: The Big Lebowski Deepcast

Brad no longer withholds the punch, the long forgotten rj, pinkie nails, the skeuomorphism of great grandpa's dialtone, another thurston equivalent, the McNugget sea-change, Hawaiian spamalot, antman and sansantman, the hierarchies of power of Atlas Shrugged and their relationship to John Whipple's The Avengers, a Lundgrenish dude. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gutterballs/support

The Titular Lebowski vs. The Dude - who won? Brad and Adam struggle to answer listener mail. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gutterballs/support

Walter in his glory, steep hellacious mazes of moguls, napkin brands, Fall Out Men, the pointlessness of debunking geographical inconsistencies, Brandt's germ-off pat, we reply to listener feedback from Jane, duck-billed chipmunk dragons, wall rugs, deduplication, three headlighted cars, perfect equilibrium of the Eastern thing, the ghost of Thurston, the text book of Lebowski. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gutterballs/support

Maybe a little too much penis talk, erection chambers, the various types of shmorgusborgii, pitched up looped dialogue, the joy of outsmarting a combination lock when you are eleven, crane moves and parallax, looping, the pain of Adam's Cafe and Shore Side Burgers, the Dude gets gentrified right outta there, and Adam leaves his dreams for another episode. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gutterballs/support

Brad and Adam are joined by a maker of films, pacifist handwriting, the inability to hear a connecting brown noise, the mystery of the first shot revealed, composite jobs, a brief history of the negative of the original pilot of Star Trek, the politics of Lebowski preservation, the online discussion of the physics of the theoretical lebowski planet, and identifying the ejaculatory moment. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gutterballs/support

Stuporman, alternate Jesuses, Liam's eye flirts, throatmeats, possible tedium of couch gags, a trip down physical media memory lane, smart sharks and Star Wars spillover, deliberate cheese, saying goodbye to The Jesus, hippal areas, what's going down at the Cape Cod Playhouse in Hyannis, Jainism, being fully riveted, another -ism, yet another ism, the defenseless things, and nature's feedbag. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gutterballs/support

A Lindsay Lohan update, vacation malaise and the sock scourge, drawing lines in economic sand, the alternate Tobias Funke, triangles, snort-worthiness, all the important people, inaccurate Krokus namedropping, Jesus chortles, Liam's manmeat, and the inevitability of "cute results" in a base 10 number system. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gutterballs/support

We welcome special guest Steven to discuss: Pinkie takes a peek, shadow discrepancies, the flangey Dude voice, the differences between Karl Marx and Joseph Stalin, slow doorbell fingers, Ernie who works at Prosource, and questioning the essential nature of The Jesus going door to door. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gutterballs/support

The guy who's not Liam points too, the re-doubled zelnicker astoundment, the flopped shot from last minute, Liam's poor stitching, the rare entertainment value of masturbatory self-indulgence, pink women and their MGDs, the codpiece, non-penile pants boners, the strange cut from the jesus's celebratory finger to the triumvirate, nice triple racks, the little blue yard toy, and an extra-special musical send off. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gutterballs/support

The invitingly watchable motions of The Jesus, delicate foot scrapes, the Dude's bull-like twin nostril smoke jets, the ins and outs of ring culture, details of women's socks, the careful conceit of non importance as evidenced by stranger interruptions, recentering yourself filmically, redder stripes, egregious licks, Jesus stitchings, Bespin small droid wranglers playing keepaway, and the Hallowedding and its familial implications. Also, Adam might wear stockings and Brad gets his Chev Chelios on. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gutterballs/support

Cowards, weaklings, bums, the waffliness of diegesis, the perfection of narrative spaghetti, high frame rate cameras for catching high speed crabs, the landlord as originally scripted, Thurston's future return, the temporal anomalies of round robin bowling tournaments, a listener comment from Gordon Lightfoot, the fluidity of dates in Lebowski's filmic dream, disconfirmations, Brad's ignorance of movies with guns and/or mobsters, also an entire section talking about movies we've seen. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gutterballs/support

How Brad hates jobs, high quality digital representations of high quality paper, 150% Brandt finger splaying, cogent pieces of cultural criticism in a classic 80s film, voyaging inside The Dude's head, the resolution of paper, the season dump, more on PS-Hoff's amazing body control as evidenced by his caterpillar lip, the nihilosity of the word "gather", the jumping of the J, the unlikelihood of the Titular Lebowski's mastery of "scale to fit", the oddly long Brandt reaction preamble, the lefthandedness of the crackle, and an in-depth breakdown of the opening title sequence of House of Cards. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gutterballs/support

Mo-Zurt, logical glossovers, a celebration of candelabras, the porn version of an old Jeff Bridges movie, a little dude in Tron, the strongly influential Babe Ruth of Japan, some interstates, the fallacy of the Prince symbol with a smiley face, Fargo's punctuated mundanity, duck stamp paintings, The Clive Owen that never shows up, the geographical boundaries of Yellowstone National Park, imagining The Dude's Monty notes, and we only hint at the idea of an "anti-movie" without actually using that preferred nomenclature. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gutterballs/support

The turntable's disreality infraction, the Dude's landlord's real name, Flea's dedication to River Phoenix, the different roads that all lead to the truth, Marty's (Monty's? Allan's?) extended universe adventures, the green ashtray containing the bowling ball pipe that later the cop handles, the dude's bongos, spider-man's amazing friends, the intimacy of the wide shot of the Dude's home, known unknowns and unknown knowns (or: the theoretical monies of the Rubiks), ass pointing, the Zelniker Astoundment. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gutterballs/support

Walter stares into your soul, getting lost in the colors and patterns of space and time of The Dude's rug, The Dude's honest grit floor, the fancy treat of using an ice bucket even when you are the only one in your home, Captain Bee Farts, The Dude's cleanliness, the skinny bowler of Adam's nightmare, the curious small plastic bowling pin, contravening bylaws by brandishing a firearm, the non-Ackerman Marty and his filthy clothes, the reasons that The Dude and Richard Nixon can hang out, The Reverend gives Brad and Adam some schoolin' on sculptures, dairy products, and mixology, bowling ball bottle besmitteners, what it looks like when you scale Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" album cover to 2800%, and The Dude's fondness for bathing, and the environmental impact of colony collapse disorder. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gutterballs/support

What happened to Thurston, Donnie as a member of the square community, Walter as an upside down triangle, the impossible geometries of the dream reality, the most coasterific line, the common pattern of tandem films, how to frame two people having a conversation in a car, the bel ami, a mysterious drip that can be heard, Walter's non-sensitive language. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gutterballs/support

Brad and Adam are joined by Christine the Playbill to talk about the dog's man mumbles, timelessness of firearms and their ability to make new slots in men, the secret sounds of the coffee grounds, a decade without Stereolab, Thurston as equivalent to coked up Asian firecracker-throwing man, mansplicing, the potential glass ceiling for 1st Assistant Directors, lines and rules, Stu's side job, Thurston and Walter keeping sync, L cuts as scene smoothers, and Donnie straddling the line between corporate drone and convenience store clerk. We do not discuss "The Thurston Equivalent", starring Jeff Fahey. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gutterballs/support

Brad and Adam finally introduce themselves, Mr. Potter as template for the titular Lebowski, repetitive and chanty music by American GIs who were based in Germany in the mid-to-late 1960s, the awkward name dropping of Cynthia and Marty Ackerman, lots about feet: both their scampering and proximity, leg embraces, the rule of thirds and the effectiveness of center framing, the universality of The Dude's and Walter's bickering, Smokey and the toe, everyone's favorite toothy Critters ripoffs: The Wronglers, and Why I want to fuck Ronald Reagan. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gutterballs/support

Finding truth in a fictional world more true than our own, blu-ray chapter delineation, the second bottle of jack in the pool, lighting the dude's face with an artificial sun, the popularity of Brad's beat poetry cover of Viva Las Vegas, geospatial ramifications of camera move decisions, rhythmic nostril flares, the mysterious case of the suddenly empty pool, half clouded skies and the similarities between Uli and Eddie Murphy, The magically rearranging but correctly labeled opponents, Walter's only kindness, the curious origin of the hair sectioning clip, head, heart, and crotchal areas, Theodor Herzl, SP & SRy, and Walter's lack of dog knowledge. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gutterballs/support

The experience of Lebowski with the virgin mind, the inflation of the pea-sized amount, half whip pans, the truth of the human paraquat, the sound of a bottle in the water, a possible second splash, Bunny's poor toenail painting technique and logistics, some clues as to why the titular Lebowski and Brandt think the dude may have been the man for the job, foreshadowed vengeful micturition, the two blows, the boom and the silk, the chronology of Candies, dissecting Bunny's dissection, huffing the remover, lecherous foot fondling that goes on for way too long. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gutterballs/support
