THE DREADED POLITICS EPISODE! (Totally touching the third rail) We sit down with special guest Joe Bardi (many apologies for his intermittent mic quality...totally our bad) and touch on how the political landscape effects pop culture in general and what this election will mean for entertainment going forward. Are we TOTALLY GOING TO FIND ABOUT ALIENS? Are we living in a Game Of Thrones episode? The absolute mind-f***ery of the eerily topical & prescient BBC Documentary HyperNormalisation (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fny99f8amM - Link will not stay up forever) Will there be big boom in Late Night comedy? Will there be a shift towards a documentary/ docu-series type of programing? Did the news media bubble burst...or did they hit the jackpot? Will people step out of their digital bubble? Will they be allowed to? Are we seeing the death of fact, or are people realizing that jsut because it's true doesn't make it important to people. Dave's Alec Guinnes impersonation is terrible. "Disney is powered by burnt Expanded Universe books and fan's tears. (They provide the steam)" Will Trumps win be GOOD for pop culture? Matt tells YET ANOTHER "Mannequin" Twitter story. Did this election reinforce the cynicism in "the youts?" Who is your favorite fictional president? How hard it is to remember what Matt and Dave talk about in real life and what they talk about on the show. The Spimpsons predicting this and South Park having to re-write the episode as the election results came in. Joe promotes his yet unreleased www.LivingWithDonald.com blog. We talk about this week's Stream Of The Week "Idiocracy" and Matt ends the show with an uplifting story. #HippieOut
