Just as the monsters who will do battle with the gods at Ragnarök were ferried aboard the keratinous Naglfar, this fungal fleet ferries the flavors of cream cheese, scallions, bacon, and breadcrumbs, and more to your felicitous guests.

From the dark Satanic mills of nineteenth-century London, to the misty watercolored (false) memories the United States seems to have about the way Ireland was, to the table at everyone's St. Patrick's Day celebration, this is . . . actually, it's pretty great. So, of course, Louisa and Noah find the people who ruined it all.Follow us: @NoSubsPlease@mastodon.online on Mastodon. @NoSubsPlease on BlueSky.

When Noah and Louisa left off last week, all the pieces were on the board, and it was time to throw them against each other and see what happens—in the Aristotelian crucible of the Big Night, of course. In this part, Noah and Louisa discuss the kind of movies you can't make anymore, talk about Tony Shalhoub being adorable, and give Marc Anthony some reluctant flowers.Follow us: @NoSubsPlease on Twitter. @NoSubsPlease@mastodon.online on Mastodon. @NoSubsPlease on BlueSky.

Since Louisa finally watched Chef, Noah finally had to watch Big Night: the movie that asks, "can a traditional Italian restaurant survive when one-third of its crew is Marc Anthony?"

Last time, Louisa and Noah left Carl Casper on the cusp (cusper?) of a road trip during which he would rediscover his love of cooking and finally have a relationship with his human child that he has. In this part, we discuss the incongruousness of Russell Peters, ten-year-old kids being social media managers, and what exactly empingao means. (Listen, we marked it explicit.

Episode 100: Chef!

No Substitutions, Please ·

2024/11/03

For our centennial celebration, we tried something a little bit different! Louisa and Noah watch Chef, the movie that asks, "is it possible for a man to serve both his own artistic goals and be commercially successful, as long as Robert Downey Jr and Sofía Vergara front him all the money?" In this part, they talk about that, Bobby Cannavale being emotionally open, and the perfect trifecta of villains in a movie. Follow us: @NoSubsPlease on Twitter. @NoSubsPlease@mastodon.online on
