I'm pretty sure this is what actually happened. Either that or she is now leading some kind of monkey themed terrorist organization.

I follow her on Instagram for some reason, and not long ago, her father was in the hospital and it didn't look good for a while, so that's another possible explanation of why she couldn't make it.

In 1988, a monkey performance unit was credited by a movie for a role they couldn't perform. These monkeys eventually were liberated from the silver screen proxy by Los Angeles based podcast. Today, still oppressed by the Credit Guidelines for Motion pictures, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them....maybe you can hire The Shine-Team.

Paul said on the last minisode that it was her sister's bachelorette party or something during the Safe Haven recording.

In some sort of bizarre coincidence I listened to the WHM bandcamp episode about the Star Wars Holiday special from a couple years ago this morning and then listened to their latest episode about MoonTrap, so I heard Andrew's story about the old man on the subway who thought he was dissing the Golden Girls twice in a row.

Oh that was the episode he was referring to! I knew that story seemed familiar but I couldn't place it.

A while ago I posted complaining about Chris Cabin on WHM, but after people pointed out that he really does have movie expertise in his comments, and upon listening to more episodes, I have come to the conclusion that I was wrong and a total jackass. Cabin is a fine core member of the gang and while his impressions aren't up to Jupin levels, his insight into why movies fail on a technical and structural basis are awesome (once I paid enough attention to catch them).

Still wish they'd release live episodes. Cambridge, MA, is a really long ways away.

Yeah that's true, but it shouldn't be an insurmountable issue. If Scott and Scott can get decent audio on their iPhones in the White House, WHM shouldn't have a problem.

The newest WHM Mailbag episode is a delight, these are fast becoming my favorite type of episodes. The movie theater work stories are great, along with the mundane celebrity encounters.

That movie is fascinating to me, because it's not only bad, it's just goes out of its way to be perversely the opposite of anything tolerable. It's kind of amazing.

So yeah, I hope it's that.

Their legitimate angry confusion at each other was the best, it was a legit argument between 'did he gently caress that snake' and 'what is wrong with you'.

It's not an American thing. Most likely it's an in joke of theirs that made it into the show. It's certainly not an actual reference to drinking water. I'm going with some sort of vodka mixed drink since the talk about beer without "code". Or they could be big fans of authentic 'shine.

A tall glass of water that makes movies better is probably not alcohol, folks.

That is always what I thought, but in one of the recent episodes the riffing made it clear they meant alcohol in that case. So I don't know
