We talk about treating others like human beings, great moments in Korean cinema, why you should go to the theater to see movies, and more! If you haven't seen the movie, there are many spoilers!

    We must be the new Taylor Swifts because here we are appearing in your wildest dreams! Today in the Hobby Hole, Zach and Dan talk to the very funny Natasha Vaynblat (from The Tonight Show and Comedy Central) about her experiences with lucid dreaming. It's a fascinating discussion about an alternative form of therapy that leaves you well-rested instead of doing whatever recreational substances might do to your body. We also discuss if we'd ever skydive, bucket lists, and what lamps taste like. It's a good time!

    BONUS - All The President's Men
    Oct 8 2025
    Today, Dan and Zach present their very first bonus episode! We're talking about the important and enduring film All The President's Men (1976). We talk about jobs we'd have if we quit comedy, if Watergate would even matter if it happened in 2025, and Robert Redford. We also discuss The Kuleshov Effect, phone anxiety, subtle acting, and why we're both obsessed with this movie! Our bonus episodes feature deep dives about our current obsessions as well as trial runs of what previous guests have asked us to get into! This episode is brought to you by guest Gabe Pacheco's episode about films from the 1970s. We hope you're ready to hear us talk about sports, reality TV, old movies, and cults, probably.
