Listen Now

The boys go hard on Yoko Taro's apocalyptic series of video games, specifically the Nier ones. Brace yourself for the end of the world, like twenty different ways. 

The boys close out the month with a discussion of old movies (Saint Maud, Nolan films, Marvel stuff) and a little bit on recent news. 

Film review time! The boys go in on Oscar darling The Sound of Metal!

A grab bag episode. Dig in!

We take a break from pop culture to ruminate on the country's return to normal, signified by another bout of gun violence. 

Tim and Seth undertake a deep dive into the sci-fi TV show the Expanse! That's it! It does what it says on the tin!

In a truly incongruous pairing, Tim and Jesse discuss Christopher Nolan's Tenet alongside a deeper discussion of HBO Max's superhero show the Doom Patrol, with an indulgence into the Grant Morrison inspired comic run that preceded it. Prepare to become fictional!

We give proper due to the GameStop knights, those glorious defenders of the stock price of a failing store that always tries to get you to preorder some crap you don't want. WALL STREET BABY!

In the wake of one of the most devastating events in American history, Donald Trump being banned from twitter, we also talk about whatever that was in the capitol. 

We discuss things we enjoyed from the year 2020, many of which were not actually produced in this blighted year. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

We come at you with a variety of terror on this episode. First, the grisly body horror in Brandon Cronenberg's film Possessor, then the brutal, macabre state of our everyday future, the looming normal.

Down Tim, Seth and Jesse engage fully in a Nerdcast about video games this year. Naturally, the conversation turns from entertainment to social isolation and alienation! We cover Demon's Souls, Yakuza: Like a Dragon, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, and Persona 5. 

We have witnessed the election! In this episode, we give our initial thoughts on what we learned, and prognosticate about the future. Not great, Bob!

Trump got diagnosed with the corona as we were recording this, so our discussion of the first debate got thrown for a loop, but it's still tight! Predictions abound!

The full complement of podcasters go at the Charlie Kaufman Netflix film I'm Thinking of Ending Things. Is it good? We couldn't all agree! Also, how's Joe Biden doing? We have the answers!

Seth and Tim manage to dig out a gem from the pop cultural nothingness that is the pandemic era. UMBRELLA ACADEMY! Tune in for almost two hours of discussion and analysis. 

After the absolutely embarrassing showcases that were the two major party conventions, the crew hung around a zoom call tearing apart the political paradigm we are forced to live under. Long story short, everything sucks!

An emergency epsiode of sorts where Jesse and Time react to the selection of Kamala Harris as the Democratic vice presidential nominee. We discuss the limits of representational politics and the Democratic party in general. 

With the continued protest movements happening around the country and the increased federal crackdown on them, the podcast decided that it would be a good idea to get drunk and try to talk about the protests and the frequent objects of their ire: statues. 

Tim and Jesse welcome Seth Alt on board as the new third mic for his first topical episode. First on the tee is a discussion on the class politics of police, in reference to the recent statements by Matt Taibbi, followed by an existential question: is cancel culture real?
