Wow! This is our six hundredth episode! This week, we have Scott Homan, director and producer of “Witness Underground,” a new documentary about Jehovah’s Witnesses leaving the church and an underground music scene within the community. We also reconnect with James Zimmerman, author of “Deliverance at Hand,” whom we talked to way back in episode 67! We learn a lot about the documentary and about the Jehovah’s Witness cult.

This week, we are doing a quick this or that episode! The three of us do some rapid fire questions with a winter theme and we all have to pick our favorite of the two options given. Did you really want to learn more about all of us? This might help! And hey – send us your this or that questions for a future episode if you are so inclined!

This week, we are once again joined by Minnesota State Representative Mike Freiberg to talk about Minnesota politics…um…Geocaching! Mike is the 65th ranked geocacher in the State of Minnesota. He tells us about this geeky hobby that the three of us thought was a lot less involved than it really is. We are going to start hiding some shit! Learn more about what Mike is up to at geocaching.com!

Godzilla is back on the big screen! The newest Godzilla offering from Toho studios, the creator of the giant, radiation mutated lizard had a limited US run and people went crazy for it! Whether you are a long time fan of everyone’s favorite Kaiju or a relative newcomer, this new Godzilla film is about as good as Godzilla can get. We do spoil the shit out of it so if you didn’t want to spoilers for a Godzilla film, move along!

It’s time for another episode filled with our latest geeky obsessions and also jokes about erections! Because even as we’ve nearly reached 600 episodes, we are still twelve. Nick’s obsession involves a video game recently nominated for a whole lot of awards. Molly is excited about a book series that came out when she was a teenager. Tim is just watching Christmas movies because it’s that time of year.

This week, we take a look at recent box office “flop,” The Marvels! Whether you are suffering from super hero fatigue or not, we think this was a solid installment in the MCU. We also highly encourage you see the movie just to annoy the trolls because who doesn’t enjoy their delicious bitter tears? Seriously, we do spoil the shit of the movie so if you care about such things, wait until after you’ve watched the movie to listen. We also talk about the idea of Marvel fatigue, the question of whether or not the movie is really a “flop,” and what makes a movie “woke.”

This week we are joined once again by Professor Dave Rand-McKay! He teaches Human Geography and is here to talk to us about the rise of young people who identify as having no religion. It is a trend that is growing among all religions and across the entire world. So what does that mean for the future? What does it mean when those of us who don’t believe in god are the *gasp* majority?

This week, we are joined by local comedian Ben San Del, who is talking about the concept of Free Will. Is free will something that can even exist? Or is every action we take the product of everything that has happened prior? For that matter, what does the concept of self even mean? It’s heady stuff and Tim isn’t entirely on board with it, which is pretty much what happens when you get more than two people talking about philosophy. Tim should know – he was a philosophy minor.
