  • I didn’t think I’d have a problem with his bit given how much I liked the movie, but it definitely hits different today.

    He lost me when he first started ramping up and suggested a means of control was to make us feel small and insignificant. I don’t feel that way. In fact, I feel the opposite. I’m not in a position to fix the worlds problems, but I see the influence of my will in the external world all the time. So that part felt a little gasslight-ey. Double that with knowing he goes on to build a huge platform and does absolute evil shit with it – you absolutely cannot tell me my quiet influcce is insignificant. Fuck you(AJ) dude. Also, felt like he’s projecting there, which is pretty modus a operandi for Jonesey – but maybe thats coded by my knowledge of his story since this clip.

    Also, I am personally very intolerant of people hollering at me. So that didn’t help, but I did think the color changes in his face were hilarious additions to the animation. That animation made it worth finishing the clip. Lol


  • It has been so long since I watched, I totally don’t remember his bit at all. I learned of the connection on an episode of Behind the Bastards podcast. As soon as they mentioned it, I can totally hear his voice in it even though I don’t remember what he says. Apparently back then it was not super clear what a terrible person he would become, and he was a key figure in the “Keep Austin Weird” part of Austin TX. So it all kinda makes sense in context.












  • Omg when they had the the lawyers at Afro mans trial ask about this song when questioning the ex. Wife of one of the cops – I don’t even know. Its a gloriously hilarious moment. The lawyers are so uncomfortable saying wet ass pussy in court. And they completely miss the message, which the lady thinks about mentioning when answering before she realizes what they’re trying to get at and just goes with it. (IIRC she was the only defense for AM besides himself). A second lawyer later can’t say it. Hilarious.
