Is This Art Good? episodes

  • Episode 42a - RuneScape
    In this episode, we have another podcast first: it’s our first review of an MMORPG with RuneScape! We flipped a chocolatey coin to determine which version of the game we would play, and delve head first into the modern (current) version of it. Our discussion takes us to a fantastical land of trolls and goblins where you’re free to go wherever you want (except members only areas), and has us frequently talking in extremes and opposites as we attempt to determine…Is This Art Good?

  • Episode 41b - An Anxious Object
    In this episode, we give our first ever review of an entirely instrumental album. It’s “An Anxious Object” by Mouse On The Keys! This genre-bending album takes us back to 2009 and stretches our musical vocabulary to its limits as we discuss our feelings on jazz, improvisation, the mess that musical genres have become, and give some deeper insight into our own musical taste in our attempt to determine…Is This Art Good?

  • Episode 41a - Soylent Green

    In this episode, it's the year 2022...people will do anything to get what they need...and they NEED Soylent Green. Our review of this 70s ecological sci-fi dystopia classic is full of essential nutrients: discussion of futuristic (but possibly also antiquated) gender roles, the right to see one beautiful thing before you die, and the only possible way to deal with the problem of overpopulation. We apply all of our knowledge of the 21st century in our attempt to determine...Is This Art Good?

  • Episode 40b - The Spine of Night
    In this episode, we go in depth with the “goriest animated movie of 2021”: The Spine of Night! Devin gave Alfonz this fantasy-horror, and we were super pleased with how the discussion went. In a bit more of a technical discussion than usual, we get into the intricacies and pitfalls of animation, the crafts of storytelling and worldbullding, the importance of knowing your philosophy, and somehow touch on Rocky Balboa in our attempt to determine…Is This Art Good?

  • Episode 40a - The House
    In this episode, we examine one building from three different angles. It’s our review of “The House” (2021). Alfonz gave Devin this stop-motion horror/drama featuring three separate stories involving the same house. We embark on a house/boat hybrid voyage and discuss the realities of hating your extended family, our dream kitchen installations, and what it means to be afraid of water as we continue our attempt to determine…Is This Art Good?

  • Episode 39b - Jack and Jill

    In this episode, we review a movie that's about two sides of the same coin. From the mind of Adam Sandler, it's Jack and Jill! We give this movie about the struggles of twindom as fair of a shot as we can. Join us as we go to the REAL theatre, grapple with true love, get dressed for the family picnic, and try to see past the cameos of less-than-relevant people in our attempt to determine...Is This Art Good?

  • Episode 39a - The Cat In The Hat
    In this episode, we examine the film that marked the end of an era of cinema. It’s Cat In The Hat from 2003! This marked the beginning of the end of Mike Myers’ acting career, and the last live action Dr. Seuss film ever to be made. We examine the injection of adult humour into children’s media, the importance of keeping track of your life goals, and try to uncover the very essence of what The Cat truly represents as part of our attempt to determine…Is This Art Good?

  • Episode 38b - Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game - Complete Edition
    In this episode, we review the video game adaptation of a comic book series that many people only know because of its film adaptation! It’s Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game - Complete Edition! Yes, the title is a mouthful. Yes, the title may or may not contain two colons. Yes, we discuss this. Join us as we explore yet another piece of Canadian art, set in what some people actually think is our nation’s capital! We never stop fighting for true love in our attempt to determine…Is This Art Good?

  • Episode 38a - Lasagna Cat
    CONTENT WARNING: Discussions of infant death and endangerment, suicide. In this episode, we discuss a YouTube channel which pays tribute to one of the best-known comic strips of all time - it’s Lasagna Cat! Our discussion takes us across a vast ocean of topics from an exploration of post-ironic art to philosophy and religion, from Japanese censorship to Canadian pizzerias, and potentially to an understanding of the order of the cosmos itself. Join us on this introspective journey through Garfield as we attempt to determine…Is This Art Good?

  • Episode 37b - Santa Claus Vs. The Devil

    In this episode, IT’S CHRISTMAS! Merry Christmas from us to you. We celebrate this year with a trip back in time to 1959 to review Santa Claus Vs. The Devil (also known simply as Santa Claus). This episode sees lots of holiday surprises under our podcast discussion tree, including the omniscience of Santa (and the limits of his powers), the timing of Christmas on other planets, and whether or not poor children deserve to be treated better by our great Christmas patriarch. We hope you’ll enjoy unwrapping these gifts as much as we loved bundling them up for you in the hopes of determining…Is This Art Good?
