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).

Curbcast is Back for LifeLarryAmerica! Welcome back to our breakdown of Larry's brand-new sketch comedy series, Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness: an Almost History of America. Executive produced by 44, this series takes historical storytelling to a completely different level. You can follow the official show hashtag #LifeLarryAmerica to stay connected with the project.

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.

We enjoyed our talk with Flint so much, we decided to add a few more minutes for you fans who might be interested in his extensive NFL knowledge. Listen for his take on some of the greatest players of all time, and which Transformers he equated them with while writing Transformers: The Movie. Check out a longer version of the story in Flint’s book, The Gamesmaster!

Flint Dille, the writer of Transformers, G.I. Joe, and a host of other great series, returns to help us celebrate the 35th Anniversary of The Five Faces of Darkness, the follow-up to the 1986 Transformers: The Movie.

In Season 1 Episode 3, titled "McCarthy," Larry breaks down four distinct eras where massive historical milestones collide with his usual flair. Dursin and Clay kick off the chat with local Boston history and a Tea Party knowledge drop. Lin-Manuel Miranda stars as Tea Party ringleader Michael Finney, icing out Larry the barrel maker for wearing a Redcoat-style velvet jacket. J.B. Smoove plays Jonesy, an escaping slave who moves into Larry’s house on the Underground Railroad and institutes a 400-year ban on asking for favors. Jon Hamm and Sean Hayes play the Wright brothers, forcing Larry into a middle seat on a peach crate while debating circus peanuts and deplaning protocol. Finally, Larry plays Senator Joe McCarthy, accusing political rivals of communist tendencies for leaving ring stains on tables without using a coaster.
