HBO PROJECT: Six Feet Under (2001) | Band of Brothers (2001)

Dane of The Proud Jacuzzi Crew is our guest for this Powers Boothe Memorial Podcast. Six Feet Under (2001 - 2005) is Alan Ball's dramedy about the insufferable Fisher clan. Nate, the scruffy eldest son, has flown home to Los Angeles for Christmas, but holiday plans are thwarted when the family patriarch runs afoul of a city bus. (It's ironic, because they own a funeral home, but now they're the client, get it?) (16:17-1:34:35) In the opening installment of Band of Brothers (2001), "Curahee," everyone's favorite of the six Friends plays the uncompromising drill instructor of Easy Company. Things he does not like: staying hydrated on long runs, prophylactics, contraband peaches, spaghetti dinners, reading maps, fences--hey, is that Michael Fassbender? (1:34:36-3:21:00) ... Also, Game of Thrones spin-offs, Fahrenheit 451, Lovecraft Country, and The New Pope. (0-16:16) | Send feedback to hooplecast@gmail.com.
