Terminal Velocity

Terminal Velocity is episode 71 of the podcast, Boonta Vista. This episode was released on 28-Oct-2018.

Description

I had to skim the episode to figure out what we talked about. Hot martinis, fake Australian accents, the origins of actor David Caruso's name, what movie to pair with Hudson Hawke, collecting VHS and accidentally falling from a very high building among other things.CW: Suicide talk, but it's mostly very silly. Sorry.

Segments

Timestamp	Segment	Notes
0:00:30	Unnamed Segment	Technically the whole 15 minutes-ish is intro, but it starts with moon landing chat, then slips into coffee-cocktail talk, then segues into tales from Andrew's bachelor party and then Theo's at the Mana Bar (c.f. Episode 266 - A Dozen Pissing Bints. Then a nimble shuffle into Brisbane's apartheid-sanction-busting history in 1971 onto David Caruso, and Ben's Two-Bit Cinema Club choices.
0:16:38	Mailbag	Movie question for Ben from the mailbag, will he be buying VHSes from JB Hifi? (No, they're blurays)
0:31:00	Unnamed Segment	From the ABC: Hundreds of social media thrillseekers are charged over high-risk activities.
0:38:50	Mailbag	Questions actually start at about 45m, before then there's a lot of lighthearted suicide chat (for which there is a content warning in the episode description). Correspondence covers: The other hosts being asked to praise Theo and Lucy (separate questions), Recommendations for tea and tissue types, and favourite Australian rappers.
1:12:40	Unnamed Segment	A slightly begrudging whistlestop tour of the week's news from Ben

Episode Notes

The hosts are fairly clear in this epsode that they're chafing a bit with the Australian News format by this point. Theo unknowingly previews a Theophiles by talking about the Halifax explosion at around 45m. Lucy's in the process of moving to Hawaii for this and the next few episodes.
