Independent filmmaker Jacob Gregor joins us to talk about his bleak and unsettling new film End of History. We talk with Jacob about his discomforting vision of a nameless young man who drives cross country to Alaska listening to nothing but podcasts and AM radio.

This is the sort of man who has been living close by all along, right under your nose. You've seen him online countless times and probably didn't even notice. You didn't see him because his isn't an influencer, he's not in charge of anything, and he's never posted anything that went viral. He's a reply guy.

We chat with Jacob about his character's flat arc, making this movie, and the online-too-much guys who just want everything in the world to be like it was when they were 8 years old.

We're also excited to announce that our long promised merch is here!!

We know it's tough sometimes to express your leftist feelings in public. Your ratty Che Guevara and CCCP t-shirts seem better left at home. Now you can fly your crypto-leftist flag and still be completely under the radar with our personal love letter to Juan José Arévalo, philosopher and socialist president of Guatemala, and the airline he nationalized.
