November 10, 2023 Episode 152: Armie Hammer, Cannibalism, and the State of the Documentary
We at GenXtemporaneous live a good documentary. Truth be told, we love some terrible documentaries, too. We've discussed Anna Delvey, Tiger King, and Natalia Grace. This week, we pull the lens back a little and talk about documentaries in general and The House of Hammer, in particular. Is it a necessary conversation about a Hollywood elite with cannibalistic proclivities? Or is it a sensationalist look at a Hollywood elite with cannibalistic proclivities? Join us to find out!

October 13, 2023 Episode 151: What the Fuck October Edition
Every once in a while, we like to do a "What the fuck" episode. Themes are ripped from today's headlines, as they say, as Marc and Kristina comment on current events that cause them to shake their heads, quirk and eyebrow, or shocks them to their core.
Plus, there are jokes.

October 06, 2023 Episode 151: So What if We Are in a Simulation?
We've talked about the hypothesis about living in a simulation. We've discussed some of the ways we might detect the simulation. This week, we just shrug and accept that we might live in a simulation. Now what? Marc and Kristina discuss the consequences of living in a simulation. This is useful stuff. Don't leave the Matrix without it.

September 30, 2023 Episode 150: How would we know if we are in a simulation?
Welcome back to one of our favorite topics: the possibility of us living in a simulation. This week, we want to find a way to put this theory to the test. What would reveal base reality (assuming we aren't living in it now)? What kinds of tests can we perform? Why is Marc still pixelated?

August 18, 2023 Episode 149: White Gladys, The Willverse, and Aliens
This was a spontaneous--dare we say extemporaneous-- episode. We decided to just take on some random topics. It turned out hilarious and great. We discuss a tiktok fandom, White Gladys and other oceanic attacks on humans, and, of course, aliens from deep space. We promise you'll love this one.
