Much like the year 2024 itself, we’re taking the Year of the Weasel into 2025 with the mandate “more of the same, but worse”! So in that spirit, here’s Pauly Shore doing some decidedly shaky accent work in a limp Coen Brothers imitation so obscure, we didn’t even know it existed until last November. But wait, don’t leave yet, the score is by legendary session musician Jeff “Skunk” Baxter!
Looking for a last-minute excuse to get away from your extended family this Thanksgiving? Here’s half an hour of us talking about seasonal Totally Pauly episodes (plus bonus Son in Law!) that is guaranteed to clear the room if you put it on during the festivities. You can thank us later. We’ll be back in two weeks to close out Year (1) of the Weasel with 1997’s The Curse of Inferno!
The podcast event literally no one asked for has finally arrived! From February 2024 until whenever we’ve had enough, we’re taking you on a journey through what we genuinely believe is the underrated filmography of the Weasel himself, Pauly Shore. Join us in this introductory episode as we explain why we’re doing this to ourselves (and to you) and take a quick jog through the random roles that resulted in one of the greatest characters in 20th century American literature.
But first, you’ll notice there’s something a little different this time: Given the importance of the visual medium to our current topic of discussion, we’re experimenting with video! As you can see from the first episode, the experiment hasn’t been an unqualified success; there was some pretty terrible lag on Zach’s end that has been preserved at the beginning for explanatory/comedic effect. We will troubleshoot this moving forward, but in the meantime, enjoy watching our audio swim in and out of sync while the video footage struggles to catch up with our lips! Welcome to the future!
