243. The Curious Case of Ben Reilly w/ The Comics That We Love

I know what you're thinking - Peacock has something to watch and the Film School Janitors watched it!

Based on the book, which became a 70's thriller and a 90's action-er, THE DAY OF THE JACKAL exists again... this time as a TV show. 

Is it worth your time (and effort to figure out how to get Peacock)? Listen to find out!

Peacock's The Day of the Jackal (Season 1) Review

Ritual of “Pretty Halo.”  
Where devotion meets descent — a cinematic re-imagining of the original track.  
AI-assisted production by Ashen Nemesis (The Jackal) blending darkwave, metal, and experimental ambience.

🕯️ Featured line:
“Pretty halo, here’s a delicate rose… that folds up when you get too close.”

Pretty Halo

Here’s a little story about a trio of janitors. 
Might have heard they worked at a well-known film school.
They picked up a few things other than trash. 
They might hate your movie, or if drunk think it’s cool.
Every now and then they get together for a lunch break. 
Trash talk some movie, or TV, or streaming.
Rodney and Jason and Sean – they all clean halls. 
If you listen close you can hear kids screaming: Film School Janitors!

At your local top-tier film-and-TV school, these three lurk the halls… sweeping… scrubbing…mopping…

What you drop, they pick up.  But that’s not all they’re picking up.

You see, after twenty years of cleaning up after film students, they’ve learned something – most movies are garbage.

So whenever their lunch breaks align, they catch up on the latest Hollywood has to offer.

In between taking out the trash, they’re talking trash.

Rodney – Sean – Jason… They are The Film School Janitors
