SomaCow 153: Quentin’s Dirty Little Fetish
from SomaCow April 11, 2008
SomaCow Media, Inc. is proud to present SomaCow, brought to you in this hour by soap. With all the filth and flarn we were tossing around as topics, it s probably for the best that we wash something. Anything. In this hour, we discussed Quentin Tarantino s sexual hang-ups, rogue monkeys, good and bad advertising, the scarcity of Hot Indians, and J provided us with a rundown of some of the net s more obscure fetishes. I was excited last week when I received a call from Say Anything Debe and Mickey, who invited my wife and I over to watch The Grindhouse movies. I had missed these movies in the theaters and was amped to finally check them out, and on Mickey s super wide screen high definition telly, no less. We had settled in with some food and drinks, and the screen filled with purpose and sound. After the standard FBI Warning and some menu screen action, the lights went down, and BLAM! There it was: Quentin s obsession. If you watch Deathproof, you will see it again over 47 times, easily in every single scene of the movie. We talk about Quentin and his sick, weird thing for a good bit. How many other Tarantino film scenes can you cite that deal with it? There was a monkey loose on the streets of Orlando. They caught the monkey. I am telling you this because you look concerned. I just want to make sure you don t freak out when you hear the episode, and start barring your doors against some kind of Simian Siege. Being in radio, we frequently imagine what it would be like to have advertisers. As a passive listener, what advertisements seem to have the most hold on you? Have you ever not visited a business because you found their ads distasteful, or irritating? We all give some examples of what we feel works and does not work in advertising, but the reality is that if you remember it, it sorta did its job, and Madison Avenue won. I ve recently starting liking that Indian actor that plays on House, who went to White Castle? You know who I am talking about. Yeah, that guy. But in all my experience with Indian filmography (2 films), I have yet to see any really hot men OR women come from that country. We kick around a few possibles, but the question stands: Where are the hot Indian people? Do I just not know where to look? Will I really regret asking you to give me some examples? All that Indabutt talk must have made J feel a bit frisky towards the end of the hour, because he regaled us with a litany of fetishes that people suffer from/enjoy that are gaining popularity. Smoking, Pedal Pushers, Looners, Spill, Flex, Olean, Soft Serve It sounds like a list of bad bands, and it makes me pine for the simpler days when the worst thing you might get out of your pornography is a predilection for women wearing garters. To each their own, but in the interest of science, and without resorting to the obvious scatological yack, what are the stranger fetishes you have encountered? Don t forget to check out my review of Fast Food Nation, which I really enjoyed. The movie was just a chapter or two of what is covered in this book, so feel free to pick it up (completely free link to the whole book courtesy of Google and the author), and grab me a baconator on your way back? Thanks, brother. I have no shame in telling you the name of the bands we stepped on in this hour: Big D & the Kids Table - Steady Pilot Punchline - Flashlight
