On this week’s episode of Periodical Prattle, Ben and Gio go back to August 27, 2011 to discuss Muse, and the Reading & Leeds festival! They discuss the festival’s history, the 2011 line-up, and the history of artists getting “bottled” on the show. There is also talk of this year’s Academy Awards telecast, the most hated band on TikTok Tramp Stamps, Morrissey hating The Simpsons, the entire cast list of The Smurfs movie, and much more. For this week’s movie segment, The Two Dweebs discuss Albert Brooks’ masterpiece Defending Your Life, starring Brooks and Meryl Streep.
