Weirder Together, Ione Skye, Ben Lee · Weirder Together with Ben Lee & Ione Skye

This week we issue a formal apology for confusing our Pingers from our Nangs from our Yippers after an uproar in the comments section — the Australian drug slang correction nobody asked for but everyone needed. Ione reveals she was once hurt not to be invited to do cocaine on the set of a famous movie — connected to why dating Anthony Kiedis put her off drugs entirely. We also discuss Zooey Deschanel claiming she’s never even seen cocaine, and why we believe her completely. Then: Ione’s review of Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey — she loved it, even without IMAX — including the film’s quietly radical political message about who the real invaders are, and a shout out to Welsh actor Andrew Howard who plays Matt Damon’s sidekick. We do a deep dive into A Clockwork Orange after a family outing to the Dendy revival screening (yes, with the 16-year-old, yes, with grandma), the original optimistic ending Anthony Burgess wrote that Kubrick never filmed, and why 70s cinema made audiences grapple with their own morality in ways films rarely do anymore. Plus: Chloe Sevigny and the Grateful Dead, why punk and jamming have a complicated relationship, Ben and Georgia Maq prepping for their joint tour (learning “Junkie Logic” by Spikefuck), Japan tour tickets on sale with Shonen Knife on the Osaka bill, the Wile E. Coyote Will Forte movie Warner Bros killed for a tax break, and what it’s actually like to see a real Tasmanian Devil.
