The Culture Quest


Jun 14, 2020

Our humble adventurers learn about the scathing rivalry between Australia and New Zealand (by that we mean that every once in a while it is mentioned in a round-and-about way but we don’t take it too seriously and we mostly don’t take sides).

Episode Breakdown:

  •  We kick this episode off by celebrating our 20th episode, despite the fact this is episode 21! (The Harry Potter Lockdown Bonus episode we did was not in our plans when we recorded this).
  • For our Tavern Talk segment, we’re thinking about a few statistics about our lives that we would be interested in knowing when we die and reach a higher state of being. Or something. (00:03:42).
  • We then move on to our main discussion, which is all about Flight of the Conchords!
  • We introduce the Flight of the Conchords comedy duo and the TV show (00:15:28).
  • We talk about the experience we had watching the show (00:19:35).
  • We discuss Flight of the Conchords’ strengths and weaknesses in different types of media (00:21:25).
  • We talk about the general feel or atmosphere of the show (00:24:18).
  • Ynon brings up how this show reminded him of Tenacious D’s TV show and we briefly compare the two (00:27:49).
  • We discuss the music that is in the Flight of the Conchords’ show (00:28:56).
  • We talk about our favorite parts from the series (00:29:56).
  • We talk about the character of Murray and his part in the show (00:32:14).
  • We talk about how this experience compares to other experiences we’ve had on previous episodes (00:36:04).
  • We talk about other things that Jemaine and Bret have done in their careers (we had to mention Figwit) (00:37:52).
  • We then ask the question that was on everyone’s mind: is Bret that hot? (00:41:59).
  • We then mention the Footloose reference in the last episode of the series (00:44:38).
  • We summarize our feelings towards Flight of the Conchords (00:45:37).
  • Then, Ynon introduces the subject of our next episode - Woody Allen’s Annie Hall (IMDb) (00:47:47).
  • Stick around and catch a promo for In Bed with Nikky (@DNikky162), you’ll want to get to know the Lovely Nikky! (00:51:04).
