AVDP EP22 | Christmas Recap | Pornostar Parents | Hobbit | Salesophobia

We discuss our Christmas highlights. The most successful and least successful gifts and family events. Also the thrilling conclusion to the story of the gift I gave to my parents.

What would it be like to discover that one (or both) of your parents were pornstars in the past? How would that effect a child’s high school and college life? I talk a bit about teen mom and her sex tape and how that will undoubtably effect her child.

We discuss the movie and our thoughts. I bring up how this movie follows a similar structure to many other movies like Goodfellas, Casino, Blow, Catch Me If You Can and Scarface. Maybe this should be it’s own genre? Yury says this is a genre, it’s called a biopic. Maybe he is right.

I haven’t seen any of the hobbit movies, Yury has, and he also has some beef. How can a single book me made into three long movies? Why should it be? We also go into Peter Jackson’s fetishism for having characters in his movies wander aimlessly through forests.

Have you ever discovered that someone is a salesperson after having a successful conversation? When this happens to me I get a very strange feeling. Can I actually take anything that was said in that conversation seriously? I think this feeling is similar to the feeling a homophobe gets when he discovers the person he is speaking with is gay: forced to question everything with a new potential ulterior motive.
