Episode Twenty-six. Haso is our little duckling for this latest episode, which finds our citizens eagerly anticipating an evening's worth of substantial, and not at all anti-Semitic, speechifying. Or, to quote French academic Alexis de Tocqueville, "stop shitting in the creek!" Martha's weak tea is a powerful aphrodisiac... Another Hearst mind game results in slit throats... Jane entertains a classroom of children with stories of a puffed-up General Custer... The spirit moves through Cy Tolliver... Suggestion: If you see Al standing on the hotel veranda, and the moment seems right, blow him a kiss. ... Also, Randal takes us on a trip to the stars via electric railroad. | Send feedback to hooplecast@gmail.com.

This is the first installment of "Phase II" of the podcast in which we tackle the premieres of all HBO dramas chronologically. ... First on our list is Philip Marlowe, Private Eye (1983) which stars Cy Tolliver himself, Powers Boothe, as the titular hardboiled detective. Marlowe and his "Girl Friday" protect a mob snitch in Raymond Chandler's The Pencil. (11:15-1:05:50) ... Then we discuss the ridiculous "prison as summer camp" Maximum Security (1984) in which hardened criminals share their emotional problems and footrace for stereos with absolutely no supervision. Jean Smart plays reckless psychiatrist Dr. Alison Brody. (1:05:51-2:24:37) ... Also, we discuss a few projects in development at the network, including the Vince Gilligan penned mini-series "Raven" about the Jonestown massacre, and Alan Ball's new blended family drama featuring Holly Hunter.

This is the first installment of "Phase II" of the podcast in which we tackle the premieres of all HBO dramas chronologically. ...

Marlowe and his "Girl Friday" protect a mob snitch in Raymond Chandler's The Pencil. (11:15-1:05:50) ... Then we discuss the ridiculous "prison as summer camp" Maximum Security (1984) in which hardened criminals share their emotional problems and footrace for stereos with absolutely no supervision.

The distant future. The year 2052. Western-themed LARPing has inexplicably become a recreational pursuit for the world's wealthy elite. Willing to spend thousands, and risk almost certain personal injury and/or death, the degenerates of the upper crust indulge in their most depraved and violent delights at Westworld, an amusement park where nothing can possib-lie go wrong. Based on Michael Crichton's 1973 film of the same name, Westworld (2016) is an incoherent mess, but boasts a phenomenal cast and glossy production. (13:53 - 1:49:50) ... Somebody's dead in the premiere of Big Little Lies (2017), a pulpy mystery set in the community of Monterey, California. Before we learn the identity of the victim, we rewind to the first day of orientation at Otter Bay Elementary when Ziggy, son of Jane No Middle Name Chapman, is publicly accused of choking a little girl. Battle lines are drawn amongst rich, helicopter parents, and soon the hostilities and secrets buried within this affluent enclave will be brought to the surface. ... Also, The White Lotus, The Gilded Age, Six Feet Under, Michael Kenneth Williams, The Many Saints of Newark, and The Last of Us.
