Ep 157Him, or Winning the Touchdown (feat. Gus)
Gus from the very funny podcast Most Controversial joins Stu and Cole to discuss the strange Jordan Peele produced sports horror film "Him", a surreal saga about professional football and the relationship between the greatest quarterback of all time and his up-and-coming protege and rival. Our discussions include the many themes the film gestures at, it's ability or inability to corral them into a coherent thesis, where it is and isn't trying to be funny, and the ways in which it fundamentally misunderstands football and the particular psychopathology of our era's greatest athletes.

Ep 154Sonic the Hedgehog 2, or Derailing at the Speed of Sound (feat. Andy)
Wrapping up our trip through the 2022 blockbuster landscape, returning guest/friend of the pod/Sonic autist of note Andy (@Ex_AnarchoAnon) from Those Good Old Fashioned Values joins Nicole and Cole for what's supposed to be an episode about Sonic the Hedgehog 2. We really were going to try to stretch out a mediocre video game movie for children and their ironically detached millennial parents into a 90-120 minute conversation, accounting for at least 45 minutes of derailments (as to be expected). But then Paramount and the Ellison crime family colluded with Trump's ROG (Reddit Occupied Government) to expand their slopaganda reich and successfully win the bid for ALL OF Warner Brothers, consolidating a vast chunk of American media under the control of an eyebrow-less failed-actor whose tech-billionaire daddy footed the bill for a movie studio as consolation for Flyboys eating shit at the box office. Plus, more Ken Penders talk and Live Reacts to Jim Carrey's new face.
