On this episode of the Plutopia Podcast, Jon and Scoop discuss current politics, the charm of vintage sci-fi movies, and the importance of reducing social media usage. They reflect on the shift in political conventions from dynamic debates to predictable events and lament the loss of genuine political discourse. The conversation also touches on the influence of the Heritage Foundation, the cultural implications of Trump’s presidency, and the current state of media. The podcast concludes with a nostalgic discussion about classic sci-fi films and the therapeutic value of stepping away from constant digital engagement.
