ALLIE GOERTZ is today’s guest, and if don’t already know Allie, you’re welcome for the introduction. A former editor of Mad magazine, a writer for @Midnight, a songwriter and performer, and an old-school podcaster, Allie has pretty much done it all. I’ve known her for a long time, and she was one of the first people I wanted to have on to give this format a test run.
Her three Hip Pocket picks this week are A Mighty Wind, They Came Together, and Big Night, and Aundria picked Sleeping With Other People as our response.
Finally, Drew chose to induct The Thin Man into the Hip Pocket Hall of Fame.

It’s finally time for the second season of The Hip Pocket, and to get things rolling, we’ve got a very special guest.
BILL OAKLEY was a writer/producer for The Simpsons, eventually showrunning the series for several seasons with his creative partner, Josh Weinstein. They co-created the cult favorite Mission Hill, and more recently, Oakley is the creator and writer of Space: 1969, an original audio comedy for Audible. He’s also become a beloved figure on Instagram for his fast-food reviews, and just celebrated the Seventh Annual Steamie Awards.
Bill chose three Hip Pocket movies for us to watch and discuss: the very silly Who’s Minding the Mint?, Norman Lear’s blistering satire Cold Turkey, and the all-star comic avalanche that is It’s A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.
Each episode, we pick one film to discuss as a response to the movies our guest chooses, and this week’s response was the 1991 Sylvester Stallone comedy Oscar.
Finally, Drew chose to induct Monty Python’s Life of Brian into the Hip Pocket Hall of Fame.

Who does a full warm-up season for a podcast? Well, we do! And this is the fourth episode of this first warm-up season. We're still working out some sound issues, but it's starting to come together. More importantly, Aundria, Drew and Craig are starting to really enjoy this time they're spending together. This time, we're talking about the '60s, with Mary Poppins, Billy Liar, and The Bellboy giving us a very odd perspective on a swinging decade!

Our second warm-up episode is all about the 1940s.
Our idea for our warm-up season was to pick one movie from each decade, starting in the '40s, to give each other an idea of our tastes. Today, we cover Mildred Pierce, Fun and Fancy Free, and Out of the Past.
