Our first "lost" episode! A first pass at the topic of wrestling that led up to the more cohesive discussion. Saath hadn't seen the Fundie Fridays video at that time.

Some things to check out: Fundie Fridays on Hulk Hogan, anything by Dave "Tuna" Meltzer, and probably more things. We had a lot going on in our lives when we recorded this and were a bit scattered.

It's time to talk about a movie that deserves a second look from everyone who has whimsey in their heart.

A hopefully cathartic conclusion.

A note: Saath's comment on Marx is helpfully rebutted by Ryan Moore in "Marx Goes To Texas", published in Protean Magazine: https://proteanmag.com/2024/08/11/marx-goes-to-texas/

Is making fun of Nazis always cool? Depends on who you ask. The best exploration of this: Look Who's Back--novel by Timur Vermes, film directed by David Wnendt

The thrilling followup! Note: In the moment, Saath couldn't remember that name of the franchise for Skyrim and Oblivion is The Elder Scrolls series.
