Hermeneurotics episodes

  • Democracy: Flop Status?
    The fellas were feeling real down about the concept of democracy when we recorded this one, although on the day of upload, Lula apparently defeated Bolsonaro in Brazil, so, uh, hey! Democracy! We also rant about tech, but more importantly, come to the defense of the most shitted upon area of academic study: the humanities.

  • Race on the Yard
    On another episode of Tastefakers, Tim guides an increasingly drunker Jesse through the politics of race in the context of the prison. Tim goes through his latest presentation done for the Lectures on Tap series, which is long but sure to be elucidating for anyone willing to lock in, figuratively speaking.

  • Summer Espectaculo
    After spending a summer lazing about and melting in the summer heat, the fellas watched some of the major summer movies (Backrooms, The Odyssey, and Obsession) and share some frankly mildly warm takes about the movies, which we mostly liked. Back in action!

  • Finally Some Good (Oscars) Food
    The preeminent film critics of their times (us) discuss the 2026 Best Picture slate for the Oscars. It is abrasive, harsh, and surprisingly positive, for the most part. Come on down and get the fresh, correct, takes!

  • No War But Class War
    TASTEFAKERS! Jesse delivers an audio essay which is meant to glorify one of the greatest games of all time...Final Fantasy Tactics. Before you go play this weird chess-like artifact with character art where nobody has noses for some reason, take a listen to this and see if it piques your interest. Whoreson dog!

  • Pigs on Ice
    This episode was recorded literally the day before ICE murdered another person. We talk through a heavy topic, hate on the powers that be, and manage to get to the technofascists while we're at it.

  • Bitchin' About A List
    A holiday bitchfest for everyone! The boys didn't really care for Quentin Tarantino's list of top twenty movies of the twentieth century and decided to whine about it, and also use it as a way to discuss Tarantino's work in general, which we have a complicated relationship with. Happy Holidays-ish!
