Note: This episode starts with a six-minute piece of audio art from Yuri. It’s sick.

Last time, our intrepid heroes looked back at Gamergate and how it sucked for a lot of people including Yannick who at the time worked at a website that Gamergaters were really mad at. We had so much fun that we decided to do another episode on how Gamergate came back.

Macho Pod is hosted by Yannick LeJacq, Drew Millard, and Yuri Rybak. Yuri also produced the episode and composed our theme music.

On today’s episode of Macho Pod, we examine one of the worst things that has ever happened on or to the internet. Big shouts out to Yannick, who was a firsthand witness to the ravages of Gamergate and did the lion’s share of the prep work for this episode.

Den of Thieves is a movie-length cover of Michael Mann’s Heat, except it takes place in a fantasy version of Los Angeles where bank robberies occur every 15 seconds and mobile banking apps do not exist. Pablo Schreiber and 50 Cent play the guys who seem to do all of them? And Ice Cube’s son plays a nerd who’s helping them but is also being bullied by Gerard Butler, who plays a cop WHO DOES SHIT BY HIS OWN RULES. Anyways this is a “movie for guys” so we had fun talking about what that means.

This is the first episode of Macho Pod. It’s about Theo Von and why “adult baby” is both an effective interviewer persona and potentially a sign of deep psychological damage.
