It's time to dive into the film critics are calling the best film of the year: an adaptation of a Pynchon novel about having weird sex with your enemy and also everybody having a goofy ass name. So, an accurate adaptation in spirit, if not the rest. We touch on the revolutionary politics of the film, the racial/material implications of the politics, and whether this is, in fact, the best film of the year. Lock in.

We wade into the heart of the latest controversy by discussing our thoughts on the Charlie Kirk situation. Just so it's not all serious, we also delve into the stuff we like about the Alien franchise. Dissonance is good for the soul.

The boys go full dadcore and engage with the work of director Michael Mann! Mostly Heat. Also, Collateral, and some other stuff. Look here for positive reinforcement that your thoroughly middle aged man tastes are in fact highly aesthetic and artful. They are!

The boys are back with another director-specific episode, this time dedicated to the work of filmmaker Werner Herzog. We primarily discuss Grizzly Man, Aguirre, and Encounters at the End of the World. We also forgot to talk about Bad Lieutenant, but seriosuly, go watch that, too.

TASTEFAKERS! Jesse gets on for a solo ep where he extols the virtues of a comic book: Grant Morrison's Seven Soldiers of Victory. Get bombarded with a technicolor explosion of weird ideas, bombastic superheroes, and a cynical man's warmest feelings for the art we find in the debris of pop culture.

The boys stop talking about depressing sh*t for an episode to sing the praises of a true afficionado of the weird: David Lynch. We cover themes of his work, defend him from Roger Ebert, discuss what we think his top three works are, and somehow find time to talk crap about politican Cory Booker for reasons only important to us.
