Episode 16: The Big Lebowski
Episode description
“This is what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps”
The panel of peril open a container of half and half, give it a sniff, then settle in to watch Joel and Ethan Coen’s The Big Lebowski. Afterwards they plan on lighting fire to a big old doobie and inhaling the smoke before trying to improve upon the villain’s diabolical plan for the honour of choosing next week’s film and hosting the pod.
The Big Lebowski (1998) finds The Dude (Jeff Bridges) being enlisted as investigator into the kidnapping plot of Bunny Lebowski, trophy wife of his rich namesake Jeffrey Lebowski. A madcap plot involving The Dude’s bowling team friends Walter (John Goodman), Donny (Steve Buscemi), The Jesus (John Turturro), a group of nihilists and their ferret, and many, many more! Can The Dude get to the bottom of mystery?

********PLOT SPOILER ALERT********
As The Dude digs deeper and deeper into the mystery of the missing Bunny, several suspects present themselves: the nihilists, porn film director Jackie Treehorn, Bunny herself and finally the titular Big Lebowski. Who is to blame for this most underhanded/confusing of situations? Find out in the pod (I already know, we recorded it aaaaaages ago).
What did the panel think of this week’s movie? How in all that is holy can they improve upon the villain’s masterplan? And which evil schemer will be christened this week’s most diabolical?
