Shoot The Dancing Bear!

With an absent Gabe, Tim and Jesse hand out a bonus episode grousing and bitching about the current political items of the day. Impeachment, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, the Senate, Andrew Yang, it's all here!

On a very special Episode 40, the boys sit down for a discussion on chaos magic nicely broken down for the uninitiated, inlcuding most of the members of this podcast. If you're wondering why you have felt the urge to proselytize on our behalf lately, it's probably just the sigils. Our guide through this magical journey is special guest, Carolyn Barron!

We delayed our magic podcast once again, but in the interim, here's an interstitial episode on the horror/comedy film Midsommar and our attempt to wring any meaning at all out of the insanity that is the Epstein case. Chaos magic coming soon!

Adjust your eyes, the blinding club lighting is actually projecting directly from your speakers! On this episode, we delve into the criminally underrated Refn series on Amazon, Too Old To Die Young. A show about apocalypse, can't imagine a more appropriate pairing. 

Joined by Matt Sedillo, an acclaimed poet, the boys with no real acclaim beyond their immediate families discuss the border, hear some poetry, and finally identify who makes up the white working class...The Gyllenhalls. 

On this episode, we are joined by returning host Tamar Salibian to talk about why capitalism ruins your sex life, diminishes your critical thinking skills, and generally makes your life way worse than it needs to be. And...THE SOUND QUALITY IS UPGRADED!

What's going on c*cksuckers? The boys welcome a returning guest, Jon Peloso, onto the podcast to delve back into the Western genre with the TV show Deadwood. 

Chernobyl: propaganda or legitimate art? Or both? We wrestle with the possibilities and discuss the merits of its political messaging in an era that so desperately needs a competent left. The conversation here is built around Tim Malone's recent article printed on Truthout. 

We return from a long hiatus with a long pod! We bookended the episode with conversations around writing: criticizing others' writing and talking about our own at the end of the podcast. Sandwiched in between is a belated take on the Peterson/Zizek debate. 

Hate. Hate. HATE. It's an episode where we just talk trash about a bunch of things we dislike. That's it. 

A meta-critique of the online left from the left? Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez yea or nay? Hysterical laughter at a bad joke? Accelerationism? It's all here!

True Detective is back, and so are we. Step outside time and space into a conversation about the show's thematic material as we discuss what we like so much about it, (and a little of why season 2 failed). No politics on this episode, even though we said we would. 

The boys recorded from under the blazing sky during the California fires to bring you an episode returning to what might be our podcast's unifying theme: Apocalypse. Topics include the Thousand Okas shooter, fires, mid-term elections, plane crashes, and more. 

In today's jam-packed episode, the boys discuss Tim's article for Truthout on our international player president, the massive disaster of Brett Kavanaugh, and the IPCC report on our ever-closer global catastrophe, climate change. So, collapse all around! Huzzah! 

A BONUS EPISODE! Actually, it's just the latter half of our previous conversation, in which we allow Tim to hold the floor on Bio-Politics, a concept he explains over the course of this discussion. 

When you tell your child not to step in the poop, sometimes it makes the child do it anyway. So...we stepped in the poop this podcast. The incredibly fraught and controversial topic of identity politics! The weak may not tread near the hot takes contained herein. 

A no-research, completely spontaneous episode. We talk about the Raelian movement, QAnon, the flimsiness of democracy, conspiracy theory, and progressively become drunker and more hostile toward Elon Musk. 

Gabe and Jesse saw Hereditary! We spend the first half of the podcast discussing the horror movie and its primary theme: family. This leads us into a discussion of the political, and the family separation policy happening at the border. So, just horror all around. SUBSCRIBE!

It's been a long time, we shouldn't have left you, without a strong podcast about Scifi film Annihilation to step to. We talk through our readings of the film, and even get to the messy relationship commentary in the movie. Listen up!

In light of a possible duel between Jordan Peterson and Slavoj Zizek, the boys somehow find a way to talk Lacan and the failures of leftist political engagement. Why do hucksters like Peterson succeed?
