Why People Love Movies In this episode, when asked why he talks about movies in his podcast, Dave answered it with the reasoning behind each episode’s format. He admitted that he always liked the escapism that movies provided. Hence, like movies, he would start the show with a cold open, comedians making a minute or so of jokes about the movie or not. Dave would then continue to the bulk of the episode, which was the movie review. Movies have always been a passion of his. But what seals the deal was how accessible a touchstone it was, making it all the more relatable to talk about in any setting. And now that several movies are going straight to streaming services and many people are staying at home, movies stayed true to what they always were—a form of escapism anyone can rely on, that even the worst movies are still fun. Never Be Friends With Neighbors Most people would think that having friendly neighbors is lovely, and, to some extent, it is. But, if you just want to go about your day without interacting with anyone, you are not in luck if you move to Arizona. While there are pros to being friends with your neighbors, it can be awkward when you two get into a big fight because you would have to live with each other. Later in the episode, Dave and the hosts talk about why you should not be friends with your neighbors. First of all, it is never an ideal setting to suddenly stop in your tracks just to talk to a neighbor you happen to pass by. Not only would you get in the way of other people also trying to go about their day, the awkwardness of just standing in front of your house, talking about the most mundane things, can get real old, real fast. Second, as mentioned before, if ever you do get into a fight with your neighbor, it would just make being in that neighborhood annoying at best. And third, don’t get me started on nosy neighbors, especially the ones with whom you had a strongly-worded argument. And so, remember, never be friends with your neighbors if you do not want to get canceled in the most boomer way possible, real-life gossip.
