Curbcast: Clear History (2013) TV Movie Dursin and Clay dive into Larry David's feature-length, star-studded HBO hidden gem! We're breaking down the billionaire electric car mistake, the battle over eye-level outlets, seeing if we can wrap our heads around seersucker, and why the rag is a filthy animal. Pretty, pretty, pretty good.
Curbcast returns for a feature-length breakdown of Larry David's 2013 HBO movie project, Clear History! Dursin and Clay dissect what is essentially an oversized, star-studded episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm masquerading as a movie. We trace the journey of Nathan Flomm (aka Raleigh) after he throws away a 10% stake in a revolutionary electric car company over a petty argument about the name "The Howard" and a missing "pee-flap."
The guys dive deep into the film's incredible comedic ensemble, highlighting standout performances from Jon Hamm as the clueless billionaire boss, Michael Keaton in full-throttle Beetlejuice mode, and Bill Hader as the sleeping-talking accomplice, Rags. We also track the running gags that hold the plot together: the absolute rule of never backing down on narrow New England roads, the theory that "rags are filthy animals," the mystery of eye-level electrical outlets, and the heavy local flavor provided by a legendary poker crew of classic Boston comedians.
Finally, we analyze the ultimate Curb-style twists—from the misunderstood "smudge and tooth check" romantic signals to the moments where we see if we can wrap our heads around seersucker, right down to the devastatingly funny realizations about Chicago (the band) in the concert parking lot. We wrap it all up with our official final grades and a look ahead to the future of the Curbcast universe. Pretty, pretty, pretty good stuff!
