The Glenn Butler Podcast Hour Spectacular, Episode 2: PTBN’s Holiday Tournament Spectacular

This installment of The Glenn Butler Podcast Hour Spectacular sees
PTBN’s Brothers of Discussion, Glenn & Scott Butler, welcome Steve
Wille to a discussion of another Spectacular, PTBN’s Holiday Tournament
Spectacular, coming to The Place to Be at the stroke of midnight as
Thanksgiving turns to Black Friday and the holiday season blasts off.
The three men run down all four regions of the tournament and break down
128 different holiday movies, TV episodes, songs, albums, foods, and
experiences…and, we like to think, learn a little bit about each other
in the process. After all, isn’t that what the holidays are all about?

The Glenn Butler Podcast Hour Spectacular, Episode 1: The Hunger Games

The Glenn Butler Podcast Hour Spectacular kicks off when the now-titular Glenn Butler (Wednesday Walk, Super Extreme Vault)
welcomes his brother Scott to the land of podcasts and welcomes
listeners to a deep dive into the Hunger Games series. They discuss the
hugely successful film franchise along the following criteria: 1. Did
Glenn understand the story despite never reading any of the books, or
did the movies leave out too many details in favor of flash and
explosions? 2. Was Scott satisfied that the books and the movies are
telling the same story, or was it garbled beyond recognition in the
transition from novel to screenplay? Other topics covered include the
construction of competing mythologies, the mechanisms of soft vs. hard
population control, Capitol Couture, personal agency, a Love Triangle of
Doom, depictions of trauma, whether it’s possible to depict war without
ennobling it, and pairs of actors that Glenn can’t tell apart.
