Name: 768 - Handjob for the Recently Deceased (9/18/23) by Chapo Trap House
Duration: 1 h 5 min 34 s
Description: We cover a spurt of stories about politicians being horny, starting with of course Lauren Boebert’s broadway handy. Then, have you seen this plane?: the air force loses an F-35 somewhere in South Carolina. Finally, we have a reading series on Mitt Romney’s self-mythologizing retirement announcement that eventually morphs into a rumination on the fate of empires.

Mitt's 76. Agreed tho, he's a slick zaddy.

they microchip employee vehicles to keep tabs on them at all times when you have a job but our government decided to not do that with an F-35. amazing

I'm surprised that Felix never says "groovy hand job". It's one of his favorite phrases.

I think the Dry Boys are kinda underestimating what climate change is going to do in just a few decades.

We’re joined by booze journalist Dave Infante (twitter.com/dinfontay) to talk about the hidden history of the Coors family and their funding of the New Right — plus, developments at Anchor Brewing.

Dave is the editor of Fingers (www.fingers.email), an independent newsletter about drinking in America, and a contributing editor and columnist for VinePair.

Episode 307: Lite Power

A chance meeting of Will & Hesse at a screening in NYC brings you a special bonus episode of Movie Mindset. In lieu of covering this summer’s cinematic event of Barbie/Oppenheimer, we discuss two westerns by American movie master Howard Hawks: 1959’s Rio Bravo and 1966’s El Dorado. We examine the essential place of The Western in American consciousness, and how the western is essentially about taking a bath with the homies.

Will & Hesse bring you Horrotober Ghoulvie Screamset, a selection of Horror film bangers for this October. We start with two all-time classics of the genre: George Romero’s “Night of the Living Dead (1968) and Tobe Hooper’s “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” (1974). Both films redefined the genre into heightened levels of gruesome nihilism, creating vivid reflections of charnel-house America while serving up ghouls galore for your puerile titillation. 

As always, the first episode of this miniseries is free for all to listen, all subsequent episodes will be for subscribers only at: www.patreon.com/chapotraphouse
