Mini-Water Cooler: Cunk on Earth, South Park, Freaks and Geeks, Trash Theory, and More

On the February 17, 2023 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor Ben Pearson is joined by editor BJ Colangelo to gather around the virtual water cooler and talk about what they’ve been up to.

Opening Banter:

At The Water Cooler:

• What we’ve been Doing:
• BJ has been screaming into the void but also falling down YouTube rabbit hole of “Trash Theory” video essays on music and searching for the last Vine compilation I’ve yet to see.
• What we’ve been Reading:
• BJ read: NOT THE NEW YORK TIMES. Half-kidding. But I also read Vampires, Werewolves, and Other Humans: Learning from Participatory Responses to the Representation of Native Americans in Twilight by Joanna L. Siegel
• What we’ve been Watching:
• Ben watched Cunk on Earth, James Baldwin: The Price of the Ticket, Topper, and High Flying Bird.
• BJ watched: Hacks, New South Park, Freaks and Geeks.

What we’ve been Eating:

• BJ is being a human trash compactor and eating way too much Jack in the Box but tries to balance it off with Chop Stop’s overpriced salads because I haven’t been grocery shopping in a month.
• What we’ve been Playing:
• BJ has been playing Powerwash Simulator.
