More from Chapo Trap House
In what critics are calling the most on-topic episode in Chapo history, Jake and Thomas of Pendejo Time join us to explain what a “line wife” and a “bucket bunny” is, and how these subcultures have found their way into TikTok virality. We also talk about the Air Force tech that died by falling at a football game, Call of Duty, The Blind Side, and the right wing’s attempt to rebrand themselves as “sensitive young men.”
Greetings Minders, Will here, and to kick off this season, I wanted to do another one-movie episode with Felix like we did last year with CASINO, and I knew I wanted it to be another movie that has cast a long shadow over both my personal mind palace and the chapo extended universe. I wanted it to be another movie that I could easily count as both “my favorite movie of all time” as well as argue that it is “the best movie of all time” *and* I wanted it to be a movie Felix had never seen. And there is only one film that fits that bill, Stanley Kubrick’s masterpiece BARRY LYNDON.
Katherine is back to talk about animals with Will and Felix again, including the bizarre story of a Chicago billionaire paying for a rat infestation. We then return to the ongoing fractures in Mamdani’s base, as a recent ICE shooting makes his decision to keep Jessica Tisch even harder to defend. Lastly, we discuss the recent raid on Ilhan Omar’s house, plus the absolute dumbest dirty trick in right-wing history.
Chapo All-Star Alex Nichols is back for a quick news roundup. We eulogize Dennis Hastert, speculate on another Epstein associate’s suicide, and explore Kyrsten Sinema’s ex-boyfriend’s recent house-destroying rampage. We then take a deep dive into a new conservative moral panic: parents being cut off by their adult children. What’s behind the widespread media coverage of this, from The Free Press to the Wall Street Journal? And who is “Doormat Mom,” one of the movement’s viral stars? All shall be revealed.

This week on Chapo, we review The Daily Wire’s Run Hide Fight: Infidels with screenwriter Josh Olson. We did into this failing company’s newest attempt at recreating the racist 80s action movie, this time with about five minutes of Jonathan Majors thrown in. We dig into this movie’s worldview, pitch ideas for new Run Hide Fight movies, debate what even happened in this one, and wrap up with like a solid twenty minutes of talking about how awesome Reacher is.
