Luigi Mangione and the Magic Mushrooms: A Review of My Old Ass [PRIME VIDEO]
Manage episode 456209611 series 2498419
In this episode of Welcome to the Poddy, we kick things off with the bizarre saga of Luigi Mangione, who thought an amateur assassination attempt would solve America’s healthcare crisis. Spoiler alert: It didn’t.
From there, we dive into a full review of My Old Ass (Prime Video), the 2024 comedy-drama starring Aubrey Plaza. It’s a quirky blend of existential musings, midlife crises, and ice cream—yes, we’re pairing this one with Peter’s vanilla ice cream with sprinkles because it’s nostalgic, colorful, and maybe a little underwhelming (just like life’s most chaotic moments).
We break down the film’s themes of aging, identity, and nostalgia, while keeping it real with personal reflections—like being too afraid to take magic mushrooms out of fear that your demons will RSVP to the party and completely rearrange your life.
Talking Points:
- The assassination of Brian Thompson, allegedly by Luigi Mangione [00:03:17]. Did Luigi Mangione do it?
- Clay's recent gig experiences [00:20:40]
- Is My Old Ass good [00:24:48]?
- Should I try Magic Mushrooms [00:37:08]?
If you’ve ever laughed through an existential breakdown, or wondered if you peaked in 2006, this episode is for you. Tune in for big laughs, big thoughts, and bigger regrets.
