Episode 39: Curve Is The Thinking Man's Axe™ Prompts: Mauve, Fabergé Egg, Sale From a glittering egg-based heist to the rebranding of manhood via cologne, this episode has everything: tilt-shift cinematography, Romanov decadence, and a scent trail that leads straight to 2001. Neal kicks things off with a love letter to Game Night (2018), the mid-budget comedy-thriller that delivers both gut-busting laughs and cinematic style. With Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams leading a cast of surprisingly intense suburbanites, this one’s shot like a Fincher film but plays like Clue on steroids. Neal breaks down the film’s unique look (including tilt-shift photography), standout performances (hello, Jesse Plemons), and why the Fabergé egg scene is memorable. You’ll never look at a 3-for-1 Tostitos sale the same way again. Then Lauren explores the glitzy, imperial, and slightly cursed world of Fabergé eggs. From their origins in the Russian court to being used as coded political messages, these decadent eggs were more than just baubles—they were status symbols, love tokens, and eventually, product lines. We’re talking jewels, missing treasure, imperial drama, Joe Namath getting shaved by Farrah Fawcett, and Brut cologne. (Yes, somehow it all connects.)
