Operation Kino 104: Defending The Smurfs And Offensive Humor
This week on Operation Kino, Katey and Dave have doubleheader tidbit talk about NBC and HBO’s Girls, Patches defends his love of The Smurfs, and the guys get into a conversation about what makes some humor offensive.
Saw this at midnight and had a blast. Ridiculous.
Talking This Is 40 with the guy behind most of the great TV and movie comedies of the last 20 years.

Listen! Operation Kino #63: The Dumb Glory Of Battleship And The Death Of Modern Satire
This week on Operation Kino, we’re firing a missile at B-6 and taking out your destroyer, as we review the biggest board game adaptation of all time, Battleship. From there we get into a discussion inspired by The Dictator, about modern satire and whether or not anybody is trying to make them anymore. Plus, Patches wants you to see Beyond the Black Rainbow, Da7e isn’t into the forced scarcity of brands like Mondo, Katey is mad at What To Expect When You’re Expecting for avoiding controversial issues, and David is mad at the world because he’s not at Cannes.
You should for serious listen to this:
This week:
- Adapting Books into Books (1:14)
- Being Blind in a Paperless World (13:36)
- The Future of Music (23:57)
