Escape Hatch (formerly Dune Pod)

Listen, we are all trying to make sense of our being led into another war, this time in Iran, and SHOCKINGLY have the complete imbeciles who run our country be woefully unprepared for the repercussions. Well, when former Deputy National Security Adviser and co-host of Pod Save the World, Ben Rhodes called us up and asked to come talk about it with us, we jumped at the chance! Plus we talk the Oscar winning Ben Affleck Iranian conflict classic, Argo. Do not miss this ep.

We’re joined by the host of the podcast Channels, Peter Kafka, as we go back to 1982’s Los Angeles, with Cameron Crowe and Amy Heckerling’s teenage masterpiece starring Sean Penn, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Phoebe Cates, Fast Times at Ridgemont High. We cover how The Pool Scene changed a generation, the first time Haitch got blue balls (after making out all night at a church lock in), why the Super Bowl sucked so hard, and just how sweet all those conservative tears taste right about now.
