Greetings, Sneakerinos! This week we start off the show with a mistake as Ian gets a wrong number. He adds one hundred episodes to the amount of the shows he and Dave have done. To be fair, Dave doesn’t notice it either and they both marvel at the number of shows they haven’t actually done. Also this week: Ian enthuses about the mine of childhood trauma; it’s time to defend Mr. Pibb; how to make church more popular; Dave makes a big change in his life; Ian contemplates a big change in his; Ian is under a cloud – of chlorine gas; both agree that children are terrible pool mates; Dave brings a fun book about movie awards and Ian and Dave discuss different Oscar winners through the years; and, finally, how hard is it to end the show anyway?
Thanks for listening.

For those of you, unlike David who do want to know the Vancouver bus schedule, here you are… http://tripplanning.translink.ca/hiwire?.a=iScheduleLookup
Episode 40: I send in my top ten movie list. Ian and Dave question why I include Raging Bull and Apocalypse Now. They say the movies are not very good.
Episode 170: Ian and Dave question why Raging Bull and Apocalypse Now didn’t win best picture Oscars. They say the movies are very good and hold up well.
I call bull shit! Ian and Dave have obviously never seen either movie.
Correction: Episode 45, not 40.
Episode 40 was the first episode I listened to.
I didn’t send in my top ten, because I’m afraid if would make their eyes bleed.
Sounds fun! Send it in!
Ohhh dear. Maybe if I’m ever feeling masochistic.
Damn it, no one was supposed to listen to 130 episodes!
What’s the limit?
Ask your doctor how much Sneaky Dragon is right for you.
I think Raging Bull should have won over Ordinary People. But I’d have given it to The Elephant Man that year out of the five nominees.
I don’t really like Apocalypse Now but I have to admit it’s an impressive achievement and should have won in its year for that alone. Especially over Kramer Vs. Kramer. I have a soft spot for All The Jazz though and it’s my favourite out of that year’s nominees (haven’t seen Norma Rae).
My apologies for misrepresenting your views.
Just mine. You totally nailed David!
In a sexy way!
Coincidentally, we were talking about our favourites movies over the weekend at our house. I mentioned A Room With A View as one of my top ten. It’s the most delightful of those well-made Merchant Ivory films of the 80s and 90s. A life-affirming romance pitting passion against propriety. Excellent ensemble cast esp. Helena Bonham-Carter as Lucy Honeychurch and Daniel Day Lewis and Maggie Smith in supporting roles. I guess Hollywood was still too busy trying to exorcize its Vietnam War demons with Platoon to give it Best Picture.
Seriously, no Sneaky Dragon at VANCAF this year?? Ah, now I don’t know if I’ll even go, that’s my main purpose in attending.
I think I will write them and complain. Maybe if 3 or 4 of us do that, it will make a difference.
Clearly what Ian needs to do is sneak David into a panel he’s doing to turn it into an episode of SD. The sneakiest Sneaky Dragon episode ever.
I like it! Well, Ian…? The ball’s in your court.
The only panel I’m on Nina is too. Maybe we can work together Oceans 11 style or Operation Dumbo Drop.
If you guys could pull that off, that would probably make podcast history. I will attend that panel and hope for the best.
Dave, I think you might like Dances with Wolves. It has themes of feeling out of place in a changing world, kind of like how you guys feel with Vancouver being developed and way different from when you guys were growing up. It also has horses and themes of Yankees being arrogant and dismissive of other cultures. Also has a wolf, which pulls dog-esque strings.
