235 - My Dinner With Andre (1981) PART2

Welcome back, dear listener. You've returned for more — either because you're invested in the layered nuance of My Dinner with Andre, or because you're trapped under something heavy and this podcast auto-played. Either way, we’re glad you’re here.
In this episode, Pat and Isaac continue their exploration of the film where two men sit at a table and talk… for so long. It’s critically compelling. It’s confusing. It’s pretentious. It’s like eavesdropping on a TED Talk held at a candlelit Olive Garden.
There will be spoilers — not just for this film, but potentially for your belief in casual dinner conversation. And yes, there will be profanity: eloquent, necessary, and probably directed at someone who uses the phrase 'true reality' without irony.
As always, if you're hungry for more of this semi-structured audio analysis-slash-emotional endurance test, visit BSReactor.com”. It’s where we keep the episode archive, the links, and a contact form that Allegedly receives love letters from a sentient blender - f#@*ing slut.
Now then — lean in. The dinner continues.

234 - My Dinner With Andre (1981) PART1

Welcome back, you curious cinematic explorers. This week, Pat and Isaac begin their discussion of My Dinner with Andre — a film that is, quite literally, two people talking over dinner. For nearly two hours.  Hold onto your butts.

233 - Don't Forget About Dre (Warm Up "My Dinner With Andre")

"Ah, you’ve returned. Brave soul. Welcome back to BS Reactor — the podcast where structure like a dress code is occasionally a polite suggestion, and tangents are the main course."
"This week’s episode was supposed to be a thoughtful lead-in to My Dinner with Andre — a film that’s basically two men in a restaurant arguing the metaphysics of dinner. But instead... Pat and Isaac sat down, hit ‘record,’ and spiraled gloriously into an almost hour-long detour."
"Pat, naturally, was driven by his lifelong devotion to dinosaur-related cinema and a very transparent avoidance of the next film. Isaac played allong because — well — he was having fun. And honestly, who among us hasn’t prolonged a conversation to delay confronting something pretentious, befuddling and possibly French?"
"Now, there will be spoilers. Though not necessarily for the intended film. There will also be profanity. Casual, frequent, and deeply heartfelt. If either of those offends, consider this your polite exit before the music fades out."
"For everyone else — welcome. Or welcome back. The crew genuinely appreciates that you're here, choosing to spend your time listening to the crew philosophize, spiral, and occasionally remember what movie they were supposed to talk about."
"If you'd like more of this semi-structured nonsense, or you want to poke around and see what else we’re up to, visit our website: BSReactor.com. It exists. It functions. Mostly."
"Now then, let’s begin — with conversational drift, cinematic foreplay, and an ever-so-slight sense of dread about eventually having to watch My Dinner with Andre."

232 - Forgot The Plot (Bonus)

Welcome back, you persistent seekers of chaos and commentary. Today’s episode was meant to be about Pee Mak — and technically, it is — but the crew does that thing they do, where they start with the intent of analysis and then veer wildly into impassioned rants, sidebars, and at least one barely-related grievance.
You’ll get a few more insights into the film, sure — themes, tones, ghostly whatnots, and so on — but you’ll also be treated to a auditory rummaging through the metaphorical sock drawer. It’s essentially a short behind the scenes episode... buckle in.
There will be spoilers. There will be profanity. There will almost certainly be a moment where someone forgets the plot and just starts philosophizing. Standard fare, for the humans here.
If this is your first time tuning in: bless your brave soul — but do consider listening to the earlier Pee Mak episodes for context. Or don’t. We’re not your ghost mum. If you listened to the first part that would make sense.
Also, don’t forget to visit BSReactor.com — the digital hub of our semi-organized nonsense. It’s got episodes, links, and a contact page that we absolutely do check.  
Now, let’s begin. Light on the Ghosts stuff. Heavy on the Tangents. You know the drill.

231 - Pee Mak (2013) PART3

Welcome back, you beautiful gluttons for tonal whiplash. You’ve returned for yet another round of ghost wives, battlefield trauma, and slapstick haunting — yes, we’re still talking about Pee Mak, the Thai horror-rom-com that dares to fuse existential horror and heartfelt romance.
If you haven’t listened to the previous parts, I strongly recommend you do so first. Otherwise, you’ll be about as lost as Mak acts every time someone tries to tell him his wifey is a bit... post-lifey.
This episode is a blend of reviews, overthinking, and a mild rant or two about the film’s surprisingly chewy emotional layers. There will be spoilers — unrepentant, unrelenting spoilers. And casual profanity; Because really, how else is the crew supposed to express themselves while discussing undead domestic issues?
Also, casual reminder: BSReactor.com exists. It’s our website. It’s got things. You should click it. I don’t get commission, but I am keeping score.
As always, we appreciate your time, your curiosity, and your tolerance for haunted hijinks and technical difficulties. And yes — if you were wondering — the studio cat did return for this one.

230 - Pee Mak (2013) PART2

Well, well, look who’s back for more haunted hijinks. Welcome once again to BS Reactor — the podcast where a band of well-meaning nerds unpacks films, themes, and questionable life choices with the energy of an adolescent group chat and the brains of adults.
This week, we’re continuing our conversation on the 2013 Thai film Pee Mak — a movie that dares to ask: what if your boo was ghosting you… and also kind of a not ghosting you? It’s complicated. If you haven’t listened to part one, go do that.
Before we dive back in, a few reminders: there will be spoilers. Big ones. The kind that wreck plot twists. Also, there will be profanity—because nothing brings out cinematic analysis like the occasional f-bomb, B-*#&!, or s-sandwich.
If that’s not your thing, we understand. Find something gentler. Perhaps a podcast about interior design for treehouses.
For everyone else — buckle up. We’ve got spectral lore, emotional baggage, and probably at least one argument for an afterlife that has relationship counseling.

229 - Pee Mak (2013) PART1

Welcome back to BS Reactor — arguably the only podcast where a group of charming nerds gather to discuss things no one else in their lives would tolerate hearing about.
This time, we’re diving into the 2013 Thai film Pee Mak—a strange, beautiful beast of comedy, horror, and romance. Yes, all three. In the same film. Sometimes in the same scene. Once again, Jazmen has delivered a cinematic curveball that left the team somewhere between intrigued, enlightened, and spiritually unsettled.
As ever, expect spoilers. Expect profanity. And expect opinions delivered with the confidence of people who’ve thought about this way too much.

228 - My People My Homeland (2020) PART3

Well, well, look who’s back. A surprisingly resilient little group, returning for the third part of our conversation about the 2020 propaganda spectacular, “My People, My Homeland."
If you haven’t listened to the first two parts, I relatively politely suggest you go do that. Otherwise, you’re just walking into Act Three of a very confusing play with absolutely no snacks."
International relations are still... lets call them... delicate. But here we are—carrying on; one awkward subtitle at a time."
As always, we’ll be employing both spoilers and profanity with all the grace of a malfunctioning fax machine. If that’s not your thing, tap 'stop' before the music ends; lest your sensibilities be f@#d with.
And of course, in keeping with our recent tradition: ‘hello,’ ‘howdy,’ and ‘Nǐ hǎo’ to the fine folks in foreign and domestic intelligence that are monitoring this podcast. You’ve been with us through so much. We feel... watched. In a good way.
Next week, we’re switching gears a bit, so consider this your heads-up. Change is coming. Again.

227 - My People My Homeland (2020) PART2

Welcome back to BS Reactor. This is the second part of our conversation about the 2020 propaganda movie “My People, My Homeland”. Listen to part one so this makes sense.
To cover all bases again... yes, we’re recording from the United States in the year 2025 and it’s particularly messy here right now in terms for international relations. 
If you want a timely and cogent analysis of any part of the conflict you are listening to the wrong podcast. If, instead, you want to hear fart jokes and unhinged thoughts from nerds... congrats you found us.
As always we’ll be using spoilers and profanity to get our points across. 
 
As per the last podcast intro... “hello”, “howdy”, and “Nǐ hǎo“... feel free to like and subscribe.
And thanks for listening, we appreciate you.

226 - My People My Homeland (2020) PART1

Welcome back to BS Reactor. Were we get our friends to talk about stuff we could’t get other people in our lives to chat with us about.
There’s going to be profanity and spoilers here so if you’re not into that sort of thing; beware.
This week we’re starting our chat about the 2020 Chinese Propaganda film “My People My Homeland”. Yes the humans know it’s probably deranged to start a conversation about this film inside the USA right now, where political tensions (both internal and external) are at historic levels.
However, we’re not the sort of podcast that pulls punches; and the humans here are in fact a little deranged. So “hello”, “howdy”, and “Nǐ hǎo “ to the members of the CIA, FBI, and CCP that are listening in for their day job. Hope you get a few laughs. 
And as always thanks for listening we appreciate you.

225 - Propaganda in Progress (WarmUp) PART2

Welcome back to B S Reactor and the second part of a warm up where the crew crafts propaganda stories for your enjoyment. Make sure to listen to part one so this makes as much sense as possible. Part one was the last episode; it’s really easy to find. 
As usual they’re going to be using profanity and a few spoilers to get  ideas out. So If you’re not into that sort of thing, tap stop before the music ends. You could even listen to a bit of the episode and then tap stop if it’s too much for you. It will be just between you and your podcast app.

224 - Propaganda in Progress (WarmUp) PART1

Hello out there and welcome to another episode of B S Reactor. This time they’re doing a warm up episode for a propaganda film Isaac is getting them to watch. But before that they’re going to dream up a little propaganda of their own.
As always they’re going to using profanity and probably letting a few spoilers slip out. So if you’re not into that sort of thing tap stop before the music ends.
Also, yeah we all know it’s probably a little crazy to be covering a propaganda movie right now, but stick with us. It will make sense.
And for those hanging around still; thanks for listening we appreciate you.
