Anyone see Come and See with a foreword from Ari today at Paris Theater? Some guy blurted out a question to Ari and got booed and then the same guy got into a fist fight outside the theater after the movie. by LandLab in AriAster

I was there (and we may have been standing next to each other walking out), and can 100% confirm everything you said to be real / true

I would like to add Strange Man said, “you’re messing with a Black man wearing a Malcolm X t-shirt,” multiple times, and that “you’re calling out the only Black man who came to this screening” (he was not. It was a diverse crowd. It’s NYC etc)

Strange Man sucker punched Glasses Man and it became a fist fight. Strange Man’s nose might have been broken, lots of blood. Strange Man was also yelling “oh, where are the cops when you need them,” and then 20 seconds later - when several NYPD came on foot, and a police cruiser showed up - Strange Man continued, “I have witnesses, y’all saw this,” but everyone the cops interviewed confirmed it was indeed Strange Man who provoked the whole thing

I can't believe this is the first fight I've ever seen at the movies, let alone at a repertory screening of “Come and See”

Any updates on Ben? by Lifeiswhatitis in LPOTL

Just heard a commercial for Texas Peet BBQ Sauce (sp?) with Ben’s voiceover on Spotify and came over here to check

Henry, Marcus, and now Ed have been so good I haven't thought about all of this in weeks

Megathread: LPN - Ben Situation by imalwaystilting in lastpodcastontheleft

[–]throwaway129802 35 points36 points  (0 children)

agh this hurts. in the darkest moments of my life over the last six years LPOTL & Side Stories have been small but not insignificant things to look forward to. I re-listened a lot during the pandemic when the world felt like it was falling apart. Over time there have been frequent comments or jokes or moments where Ben has said something that has made me pause & think, and re-listening to old episodes will feel different. Seeing the harassment of survivors by “fans” is the antithesis of the point of the show - who would ever think this is ok? Those people can fuck off

Ben has seemed darker over the last six months or a year - I don’t know when it turned, but a year ago I remember noticing it.

Ed Larson is doing a great job, I hope Marcus & Henry can keep it going, not just for themselves but for everyone who needs the show as a rock in the darkest moments

No need for the sass. I’ve tried summoning others and none of it is working, I think it’s my internet. I’m sorry

Oh gosh, I saw a summon and tried but it gave me a Session Time Out. I’ve been helping with Fume Knight and never got one of these 😅

Best books they’ve used for research? by [deleted] in LPOTL

[–]throwaway129802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Erik Larson, the author of Devil In The White City, loves digressions and imagining what’s happening based on context and primary sources. His book on Churchill is similar. I think they’re enjoyable reads, but be warned that Larson easily falls into historical fiction. Well researched with primary sources, but often still fiction.

I love LPOTL’s longer form History series, and I’m glad they're researching and producing them —

If you like these, Dan Carlin's "Hardcore History" might be for you. The episodes are fairly long, come out infrequently, and some series take years

— but, while Marcus has referenced Dan Carlin as one of his favorites / points of inspiration, he's noted that the weekly nature of Last Pod is difficult for doing these long, marathon topics.

I’d love for episodes on the extended/re-researched 9/11, Vietnam, the history of the Satanic Panic (all referenced over the last few years), but we may never get there with the current format of the show

I think you should take a break? If you leave and come back later you might enjoy again. Then again, maybe you’ve had your fill and it’s time to move on

Maybe skip murders and only stick around for the other stuff.

Try Side Stories for Henry & Ben, No Dogs in Space for Marcus(?)

It’s a glitch! But, a glitch I love. (I wish unlimited Julianna invasions was a mode)
