Also known as Houdini & Company, The Robbery, The Incident, and (our favorite) Shag-O-Rama.

The Linguini Incident was the directorial debut of Richard Shepard, the man who would finally get out of “movie jail” when he made 2004’s Matador (starring Pierce Brosnan), then went on to make The Hunting Party (starring Richard Gere), Dom Hemingway (starring Jude Law), and The Perfection (starring Allison Williams).

It was a low budget film by a first time director that somehow snagged the INSANE cast of:

• David Bowie
• Rosanna Arquette
• Ezster Balint
• Marlee Matlin (already an Oscar-winner!)
• Buck Henry
• Andre Gregory

The final edit was taken away from the director, different cuts were released in different countries, and it’s main theatrical release was in Los Angeles in 1992…during the LA riots. When there was a curfew.

30 years later, the co-producer and director got the rights back, sourced the longest 35mm print they could find (an epic story in its own right!) and release this Director’s Cut - 8 minutes shorter than the shortest of the previous cuts!

This week we tackle the latest album of a band that's been blazing a trail through the music scene for 2 decades now. Combining boroque British folk, a prog rock structure, and Americana (blues, country, American folk) the band has been featured on the sitcoms THE OFFICE and PARKS AND REC and had their 2015 THE KING IS DEAD top the Billboard 200 upon release.

Yet somehow neither of us had listened to them until this latest album. And folks, it's bloody great.

Paired with some unique wines (to match the unique music!) including this one which can only be found at the below link:

DEAR NATIVE GRAPES HUDSON VALLEY HEIRLOOM GRAPE SERIES LE COLONEL (only 72 bottles made!)

What's that? Y'all are deep into Season 3 already? Yeah, yeah, we slow.

BUT, we are finally on this White Lotus train thanks to our special guest, BETH LISOGORSKY of Beth's Film and TV Recommendations fame!

Beth is a film and TV analyst and pop culture critic. She’s written for PopMatters, Valleywag (part of Gawker media), The Boston Globe, and The Jerusalem Post. And she watches ALL the TV and film (or seemingly, anyway) and let's you know what's worth watching and what's not on her Substack bethlisogorsky.substack.com

Beth selected WHITE LOTUS Season 1 to chat with us about. Yes, yes, y’all are deep into Season 3 already. But trust us: a revisit to Season 1 is something you want to do. We chat about the show’s history, it’s themes, it’s characters, it’s enormous strngths, its occassional weaknesses, and what changed for Beth between her original viewing of Season 1 and this revisit.

And as we learn in the show: you need to drink something special to survive rich peope. Or you could mainline cocaine like Armond. Do you.
