Josh and Lyle pick an episode with a numerical palindrome as the perfect time to discuss one of the most symmetrical men on the planet: Wes Anderson. Did you know his mother's name is actually Texas? I'm not joking. His mother's name is Texas Ann Anderson. And guess what? He was BORN in Texas! Houston, to be precise. Can you imagine how many kids in the school yard picked on him just for that? Well the jokes on them! This guy is in the Criterion Collection! At this point, that's almost as good as having an Academy Award! Speaking of which, why the hell is the Academy Award taken so goddamn seriously anyhow? I hate the Oscars. They don't stream fucking anywhere, you need cable, and there's a commercial break every minute and a half. It's like "Christ, all you millionaires have all the time in the world to waste my fucking time and it's not even entertaining at all! Isn't that the entire fucking point of the Oscars? To celebrate entertainment?? Fuck a duck!" Owen Wilson.

Fellow Browncoats rejoice!  

Lyle and Michael divulge in discussing Firefly, a show that should have been a hit, yet became successful despite it's cancellation. Do you have any idea how rare that is in a pre-social media era? Like, Brooklyn 99 got cancelled and picked up within like three days but back then, networks basically had you by the balls.  They could put you on the worst time slot imaginable and kick you out before you even aired all of your episodes. Isn't that just awful?  

We barely talk about Joss Whedon in this, don't worry. Like, we literally discuss Cowboy Bebop far longer than Joss Whedon himself in this episode.
