Spears & Steinberg

Aries Spears has had it with the internet. After a small plane went down near Mar-a-Lago, the comments filled up with "it was a missile" theories, and Aries unloads on every armchair crash investigator out there. We read the dumbest comments in a brand-new segment ("Stupid Motherfuckers"), play the ATC mayday audio, and debate whether a 20-year-old should be in the cockpit. Then Mark admits he thinks it was a missile. From there, Aries, Andy, and Mark break down HBO Max's "Super Powered: The DC Story": Christopher Reeve vs. Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman, who could actually beat Superman, where all the Black superhero movies went, and "Truth, Justice and a Better Tomorrow." Plus IGN's top 10 superhero movies of all time, and the Matthew Perry doc: is addiction a choice?

Then the guys get into the Norm Macdonald Netflix doc (plus Andy's legendary story about bombing in front of Norm), Aries calling his agent about an SNL audition, the Shane Gillis gym joke backlash, Sebastian Maniscalco and the SiriusXM comedy cuts, the Mike Tyson doc that had Aries in tears, and whether Floyd Mayweather should be fighting Ryan Garcia at 49. 🎤 TOUR DATES Andy Steinberg • Oct 29 – Denver, CO – Denver Improv • Nov 5 – West Nyack, NY Aries Spears & Andy Steinberg • Oct 30 – Waukee, IA – Vibrant Music Hall • Oct 31 – Pittsburgh, PA – Citizens Live at the Wylie • Nov 6–8 – Orlando, FL – Funny Bone Comedy Club • Nov 12 – Bethlehem, PA – Wind Creek Event Center • Nov 13 – Atlantic City, NJ – The Music Box • Nov 14 – Toronto, ON – Danforth Music Hall (second show added!) 📈 SPONSOR: Kalshi – trade yes or no contracts on the world sports and politics.

Aries and Andy break down the viral clip of a drunk woman in Cincinnati who kept saying the N-word mid-set, and how Aries turned the chaos into part of the show. Aries also gets choked up talking about a fan who told him his comedy got her through her boyfriend’s death. Andy talks about meeting parents who have just learned their child is autistic. Plus: a guy pukes mid-show, a fan spins in a fabric-store outfit, a cook sweats straight into the food on 34th Street, a surprise Christmas pregnancy reveal, the birthday-cake face-smash trend, and a wife who refuses to live in the house her husband just bought.

Andy made Aries sit through two '70s women-in-prison classics, Caged Heat and The Big Doll House, and Aries is NOT happy about it. Andy makes the case for why these Roger Corman grindhouse flicks matter: they launched Pam Grier, gave Jonathan Demme (Silence of the Lambs) his first directing gig, and laid the groundwork for Quentin Tarantino.That opens up the big fight: is Tarantino a genius or just the best thief in Hollywood? From the Pulp Fiction briefcase to the Django sleeve gun, Aries brings receipts and Andy compares it to hip-hop sampling. Plus Aries tells the story of shooting his shot with Pam Grier on the MADtv set, reacts to rumors of a Zendaya-led Bourne movie, roasts Tarantino's "posse" moment on the Django press tour, and gets into the From Dusk Till Dawn foot scene. It all ends with a heated debate over whether a man could really be overpowered in the Jodi Arias case. 00:00 Andy's terrible movie picks: Caged Heat & The Big Doll House02:17 Pam Grier & the queens of Blaxploitation03:56 Zendaya as Jason Bourne?!06:21 Queen Latifah & a women-in-prison remake07:31 Why '70s movies kept it honest09:02 Did anybody actually like these movies?10:00 The history of women-in-prison films10:58 Roger Corman & Jonathan Demme's first movie12:56 Andy's drive-in memories19:06 It's not about prison, it's about women's rights20:46 Is Quentin Tarantino a thief?23:24 What is Tarantino's style?
