**DISCLAIMER**  This episode talks about sexual crime and murder as well as animal cruelty, if that is not your jam, we recommend that you listen to another episode. 

How do you effectively tell stories about true crime? What methods can you use to bring an audience in while respecting the victims and the humanity involved? Also, what kind of avian ghost haunted Tayler on a sidewalk? And what grade did Tayler get on his bits? I know all of these things, I just edited it. But you guys don't. HA!!

........ Randi said I couldn't insult you guys. So I apologize. Anyways, Join us for another week of MFTII

Why do we remake movies? What mediums does it make sense? Today we're joined by another member of Topographical Gang (they're our friends, okay?) as we talk about just that plus a whole bunch of stupid stuff. What, you may ask? Tayler doesn't remember so he can't put it in the description. So listen and find out

Yeehaw, smarties (that's your name now), today is all about westerns. What categorizes something as a western? What happened to Tayler's horse? How cool are hat physics? And so much more. Probably.

Ever feel a little nostalgic when watching something? Nostalgia is a powerful tool, but how do you recreate that? Why do we all recognize weird liminal spaces? What's the definition of nostalgia? When did Tayler learn to ride a bike? What do mothballs taste like? Join us, as we talk about all that stuff and more.

What's this? Another guest episode? Woah! This week, we're joined by another member of YouTube's Topographical Gang, but this time it's a woman. Our good friend Kyra (REDACTED) brings the topic of women portrayed in media. How do you make a well, fleshed-out female character? Is Tayler a woman? All this and more in a very special episode of Media for the Intellectually Impoverished.

Ever wondered what the heck we're talking about? What "jargon" is? What all these fancy-shmancy words are? You're in luck this week, cuz that's all we talk about. We decided to take a step back for some of our fellow intellectuals and define some terms that we say that you guys might not understand. So bear with us, and buckle in for another great episode of Media for the Intellectually Impoverished.

Sometimes people make media. Sometimes it's good, and sometimes it's not so good. And then there's what's leftover, the bottom of the barrel. That's our topic today. Things that we've consumed that we hated and what steps we'd take to fix them. Who kissed old Jack Nicholson? Where'd Jerry go? Why did Sean Bean narrate this god-awful thing? We've actually got all the answers for those, so join us.
