Top Rope Deep Dive: Chris Jericho (ft. Jack Frayne-Reid)

Jack and Yair talk about the unhinged response to Jonathan Glazer's acceptance speech for Best Director at the Oscars, Lex Friedman's five-hour Finkelstein-Destiny debate on Palestine, and the continued efforts by Starmer's Labour to big up Margaret Thatcher.

Episode 287 - Refuting John Galzer

Following his hit appearance on RP co-host Geraint @wariotifo's hit wrestling stream Top Rope Deep Dive the other week, Jack realises he has the ability on Discord to call into, and sabotage, the other guys' streams at any time.

Jack calls into Top Rope Deep Dive's Stone Cold Steve Austin episode

Longtime friend of the show Will Sloan (@WillSloanEsq) joins Jack and Geraint for one of our trademark* sprawling deep dives, this time on one of the definitive comic works of the 21st century, Tim Heidecker and Gregg Turkington's On Cinema At The Cinema, and its expansive extended universe.

Episode 288 - Back In The Hei Life Again (ft. Will Sloan)

PREVIEW: RP288 Extra - Cleesewatch 2024 (ft. Will Sloan)

RP Corp founder Jack Frayne-Reid and post-2019 junior partner G. Wariotifo bicker for an hour or so about the commercial and creative direction of the show, culminating in the return of classic RP segment "Cop or Comrade", a Nick Cave impressions competition, and the shock departure of half the once-iconic duo.

Episode 289 - The Great Conflagration

Luke Akehurst, the professional apartheid/genocide lobbyist director of "We Believe In Israel" and influential Labour right functionary, is likely to be handpicked by Keir Starmer's dictatorial leadership to run as MP in a very safe seat in the current UK election. In this extract from a much longer episode from 2018, we go through the mad ideological correctness test off his blog, which he apparently still updates and can be found here: https://lukeakehurst.blogspot.com

Recording our first episode proper of the election tomorrow!

REPOST: Episode 65 - Luke the Nuke's Ideological Correctness Test

What, you ask, differentiates this iteration of this episode (NOTE: listed as canonical episode rather than "RP Extra" as resolves cliffhanger from end of episode 289) from the version on patreon.com/reelpolitik? Well, while this version stops around the half hour mark, that one continues for roughly another 40 minutes!

Main topic of discussion: Vile war criminal Antony Blinken performs Neil Young's Rockin' In The Free World in Ukraine.

Auxiliary topics: Kendrick/Drake beef, Natalie Elphicke, why we're not voting for Starmer & Biden (this episode was recorded prior to the UK election announcement...ep on that coming later today but needed to release these two sequentially)
