    Fake Critic Quotes, Oasis Obsessions & Demure, Mindful or Brat?
    Sep 11 2024
    Welcome back to THE DISCOURSE, a podcast about film, entertainment & culture. In this episode, Tony and Carl are posed a question by friend of show, Raquel Stecher, regarding strange fake quotes from long dead, legendary film critics for Francis Ford Coppola's upcoming Megalopolis. What the dickens is happening here? Plus! Everyone is going nuts about the reunion of Oasis, but are we? Ticket madness, musical nostalgia and perhaps just plain middle-aged reverie is to blame, but is there more to it? Finally, did we have a brat summer? And are we very mindful, very demure?

In this episode, Tony and Carl explore why disgraced BBC newsreader Huw Edwards is being erased from TV shows and movies, and discuss the wider trend of editing problematic people out of order content. Plus! Tony has finally abandoned the horror show that is X, which warrants some explanation. Should we all being doing it? Or is he holier than thou? Finally, raw dogging might sound a naughty pursuit, but it concerns a trend on flights that is ever growing and rather bizarre. We explore it and wonder if we could survive...
