Curbcast is back to tackle Larry David’s 2013 HBO film, Clear History! Dursin and Clay break down this features-length "Curb episode in disguise," starring Jon Hamm, Kate Hudson, Danny McBride, Michael Keaton, and Bill Hader. We dive into the 10% electric car mistake, the Ayn Rand parallels, eye-level outlets, why rags are filthy animals, and the legendary local Boston poker crew. Plus, we debate the intricacies of the "smudge and tooth check," see if we can wrap our heads around seersucker, and see if anyone on Martha's Vineyard actually escaped the wrath of Chicago (the band).

ohn Hunt returns from vacation to reunite with Commander Matt Dursin and Clay N. Ferno for a sprawling, special edition reunion episode covering theatrical screenings, comic history, and franchise milestones.

First up, the crew heads to the theater for Katsuhiro Otomo's cyberpunk masterpiece AKIRA in 4K. From front-row neck strain to the eternal subtitles versus dubs debate, the team breaks down the visual impact of 160,000 hand-drawn animation cels, the differences between the massive manga and the film, and what makes seeing Neo-Tokyo on the big screen an unbeatable experience.

Next, Clay presents John with a piece of true comic book history: the 1983 Marvel No-Prize Book alongside an infamous "No Thanks" letter from Stan Lee. The guys explore the origins of the Marvel No-Prize starting in 1964, legendary continuity cover-ups, Captain America's missing nose, teenage George R.R. Martin, and why fans are paying real money for empty envelopes on eBay.

Finally, the discussion shifts to 60 years of Star Trek with a big-screen screening of Star Trek III: The Search for Spock paired with the TOS classic "Amok Time." The gang debates the emotional weight of destroying the USS Enterprise, ranks favorite starship designs across the franchise, dissects Vulcan biology and Pon Farr, dives into cast lore, and revisits John's brush with greatness coloring IDW Star Trek comics alongside D.C. Fontana.

See you at the club!

Executive produced by 44, Larry's show completely flips the script on what you think you know about the past. In Season 1 Episode 6, titled "Buzz," Larry delivers four eras of historic awkwardness.

Anthony opposite Jane Krakowski, Wayne Federman, and Toby Huss, and Paul Rudd's slow-motion zero-gravity throwdown on the moon as Neil Armstrong trades blows with Larry's Buzz Aldrin.

In Season 1 Episode 5, titled "Lincoln," Larry tackles two iconic historical moments with classic Curb-style absurdity. Dursin and Clay kick things off at the O.K. Corral lot with Timothy Olyphant as Wyatt Earp and Don Johnson as Doc Holliday. Larry’s lack of "knot confidence" leads to a horse pig-parking dispute with Marc Menchaca’s cowboy Clanton, turning a historic 30-second shootout into an agonizing logistical debate over start times, pacing, and blacksmith appointments. Then, Bill Hader shines as Abraham Lincoln in the Oval Office and Ford's Theatre, trying to duck out on a five-cent Appomattox spelling bet while dealing with a missing yellow scarf. Kathryn Hahn brings unhinged energy as Mary Todd Lincoln in full grief mode, Seth Morris demands White House evictions as a suspicious Andrew Johnson, and Jay Renshaw makes a brief, awkward hallway bump as John Wilkes Booth.
