Bad Ideas Classic: The Mouse Always Wins (With Noah Masur)

No Bad Ideas is going to be on a bit of a hiatus for a little while, as Zach, Sarah, and Gabriel focus on wrapping up the first season of Unseen. Never fear: while we're gone, we're going to be sharing some of our favorite old school Bad Ideas episodes!

We recruited one of the most brilliant voice actors and storytellers we know, the international man of mystery, Noah Masur, to join us in the bad ideas hot seat!

First, Sarah slides us details about how a closely guarded Star Wars script ended up on eBay, which leads to a frenetic, cross-country thriller Disney would never, ever allow to be made. Then, Noah turns the tables on us and brings us the story of the man who survived a Samurai sword attack by his girlfriend - which, in our version, was maybe just the spark they both needed. Finally, we were lucky enough to trick Noah into sharing some of his thoughts on comedy: why it can be timeless but is always ephemeral, the Internet's effect on comedy and culture, and the challenges of translating humor. 

Plus: going to the paradox place, tracking the Internet, training to be e-thletes, rejecting objective truth, and partying with John Boyega's boys.
