Michael has been locked in a garage by a mysterious editor and forced to watch and respond to last week's movie trailers. He's been eating sawdust exclusively, poor guy. Welp, there doesn't seem like there's anything we can do here. Enjoy the show!
The show will be posted here on Patreon, our Youtube channel, and our TikTok channel every Tuesday or Wednesday!
The hosts each bring a film that the other will just sit down and watch because they say so, dammit. Maggie sold a show to Nebula! Adam’s girlfriend broke into his house to decorate!

Michael recently had a child! So he thought it’d be fun to watch Rosemary’s Baby with his newborn and this is the result. Abe decides to take us on an art history lesson for some reason.

If you’ve been listening to this podcast at all, you should know Adam and Michael are just two very different gamers. There’s a whole mess of games that each of them hold dearly, but just aren’t the others’ bag. So this episode serves as a space where each host releases the other from playing their weird shit or games they’ve grown to realize ju...

Our three co-hosts are stuck in the multiverse and need to get back to their home universe. Clearly, the only way to do that is to explore our cultural obsession with multiverses, alternate timelines and parallel worlds, and tie it all into a conversation about post-modern art, pop culture, and the lessons these stories teach us. Also, each episode, one of them is an asshole who will probably sabotage the whole thing.
This week we discuss 1999...

We take you back to 1985. To when Michael was a baby and the world-wide craze of block-based entertainment was about to hit critical mass and then promptly disappear (adding points to your score). It’s perhaps one of the most iconic titles in gaming history. Will the shipmates keep it on the hard drive? Will Adam finally profess his love for Russian folk songs, as we have all anticipated for a while now? Was the game’s success at all related to ...

Our limited series with co-hosts Abe Epperson and David Bell digs deep into the internet meme of the “dad movie.” We can all probably name a dad movie, but can we isolate the tropes that really make this a bona fide film genre? Let’s find out!

As is now true every Sunday for the foreseeable future, Mike has a new video out on the traditional day of The Simpsons over at the revived Cracked YouTube channel. This time it's the pilot for a proposed series about facts learned by unpacking Simpsons jokes. If it gets enough views, he'll get to make more! He'd like that!
