My guest today is all about that Macaulay Caulkin life. Now, "Macaulay Macaulay Caulkin Caulkin" is no regular celebrity worship. Betsy is here to explain how he differs from other celebs with a genuineness and reality that you can identify with.

A self-indulgent episode! The Sonic the Hedgehog comic ran for 290 issues over 24 years, not including the multiple spin-offs. It's the comic that got me into comics, and built this insane world of multiversal events and ancient Egyptian echidnas.
This time it's Ixwonkr, my guest from the Anime/Speedrunning episode, acting as the host, as I go into my experience with the comic.

Anna Pavlova, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Napoleon Dynamite. Dance is, perhaps, the oldest art form we have. What draws us to it? How does one analyze and quantify "good" dance? My guest, Kat, has been dancing her whole life and goes in depth on her experiences with dance and how it's benefited her in her life.

My friend Tobar goes into his own personal history to explain the power of one of the most classic superheroes, and how even a fictional character like Superman can be a beacon of hope to us in our darkest times.

It's all about bad movies that people love and bad games that people...are cursed to play forever. Stu Hicar, of the Statesmen podcast, is my guest to talk about why and how we love bad movies, in particular, the incredible film experience that is 1989's Teen Witch. The second topic is Assassin's Creed, a video game series that's been going about a decade and Stu has been along for the whole ride, whether he's wanted to or not. What does it mean to be a nerd about something that you know is "low quality?" Why are we nerds about these things?

This week's episode is a big three parter. It's all about the small, oft-overlooked corners in this episode. Moon Knight is in his own corner of the Marvel Universe, bass guitars are the hidden backbone of any band, and the old Spider-man movies are instant classics now lost in the sea of recent cinematic universes.
