97 - Whit Fucking Dies (For Real This Time) (feat. The Socialist Shelf) [Whit’s Endless Summer 26]

Jacob Dallas-Main and Joss Olson (The Socialist Shelf) join the lads in Odyssey for adventures in Hollywood self-absorption and saying goodbye to the god-king of Odyssey himself: John Avery Whittaker. Topics include using art to exact petty revenges, the moral dubiousness of post-mortem performances, and the long, illustrious career of the original Whit: Hal Smith.

Also, speaking of semi-nude trucks, the modern-day remake of Bernard and Eugene's road trip should make the car a Cybertruck

I think the real moral of the Hollywood story is that if you're a neglectful parent then weird evangelicals might spirit your kids away like fey creatures

I am here for the Gerald R Ford International Airport appreciation. Two terminals, three restaurants, 15 minutes in TSA 👌😩

Alan Young being the voice of Scrooge made me realise just how similar Whit is to Scrooge, except in a world where everyone just thinks Scrooge is good and cool and has no flaws whatsoever

Very strange. Even the post itself would show the episode ended at 56:45 on the app. Cleared app cache, and when I pressed play on the episode, it switched back to the full time. Thanks!

can't replicate this on our end. try redownloading it?

For some reason this episode cuts off at the 56 minute mark for me?

“Good enough for a US president!” You mean the one that was assassinated at the Pan-American exposition in Buffalo? Nice.

Nothing sells AI Brian more than than the utter silence

Tom and Joe made me give them money to play their game and now I, Teagan, am anime sickos canon. I'm gonna live forever!

You guys were talking about how the AiO writers not knowing any references outside the 1950s made me want to point out a reference I think you guys missed. Smith-Hammer Films is almost certainly a reference to the British horror production company Hammer Film Productions which was the big company churning out a lot of edgy, transgressive B movies… in the late 1950s lol. They wanted to reference something adjacent to Roger Corman or whatever but all they knew was the 1950s version of that

The old Whit is dead; the new Whit struggles to be born; now is the time of monsters.

I haven't been eagerly awaiting a bible man episode but I'll start today. That would make for great episode

Jimmy McMillan

Also you missed pointing out the (probably unintentional) coding of the unrequited gay Tom Riley has for Whit

Grouchiest Marxiest

The lads do a bad ben episode when

Wes craven was actually raised fundamentalist and one of the reasons it’s so fucked up is because he had never seen a horror movie so he thought this was just what all horror was

I'm SO ready for more of the Lorne bits, probably the most surprising parts of the show

I've been eagerly awaiting the episode where you guys cover Bible Man since I started listening to this podcast 🤞

Ciara Rhiannon

Oh, I completely agree with Brian. The Bishop's Wife is terrible. It's like "what if Miracle on 34th St was Catholic propaganda?"
