Meta-Cosmos

Bartleby loses control of the script when Artemus breaks down the economic implications of the assasination of the UnitedHealthCare CEO, Brian Thompson. Why is there so little public sympathy for a murder? We all know why, but our favorite pair of socks have, once again, a profound way of putting it.

When Bartleby highlights the importance of the film Wicked, we dive into a brief and incomplete history of villainy and the many attempts that film, theater, and literature have made to rehabilitate these villains. It's a book-turned-musical-turned-film that shares its roots going back to the Gnostics, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and thousands of years of persecution!

This week, we recount the history of neo-liberalism in the context of the New Deal, all to explain how the Democratic Party became a bunch of losers. Our favorite pair of brotherly socks map out the past hundred years of political paradigms in another amazing episode of Meta-Cosmos!

For their 100th episode, Bartleby and Artemus go back to their roots for another Q&A episode. They revisit the meaning of life, look into the evolutionary advantages of sentience, and talk about solipsism. It's a cat-killing quantity of curiosity in another amazing episode of Meta-Cosmos.

Bartleby examines the past fifty years of the US presidential election cycle and how the outcomes are determined. Meanwhile, Artemus dismisses his brother's theories and explains that the real culprit is economics. Together, our favorite pair of socks take us back to the Carter administration; its many aspirations, and how the fate of Iran still affects us to this day. Hint, it's all Reagan's fault, again.

In an effort to avoid the topic of politics during election week, Artemus demands a discussion on science fiction. Put on the spot, all Bartleby can come up with is an impromptu dissertation on the nature of fanfiction in relation to corporate IP. Meanwhile, unseen forces work against Bartleby in another seemingly off-the-rails episode of Meta-Cosmos!

Inspired by a joke made by Mr. Sunday Movies about the 1982 Kurt Russel horror movie, The Thing, Bartleby and Artemus dip their toes into the pool of alien invasion scenarios. This week, we briefly examine how nonlinear warfare is used to divide and conquer peoples and nations. It's another short, sweet, and thought-provoking episode of Meta-Cosmos!

Bartleby and Artemus do a little paranormal investigating for a change and invite their producer, Isaac Bluefoot, onto the show to tell a few ghost stories about the poltergeist he grew up with, specifically, the thing in the basement. It's tales of compassion and courage in the face of absolute dread, and not too different from Dan Da Dan, except for one crucial detail. What do you do when it feels like a ghost wants to murder you? Find out, on another greatest-episode-ever of Meta-Cosmos!

Leading into the 2024 US presidential election, Bartleby suggests that presidents and CEOs don't have as much power as their job titles would suggest. Meanwhile, Artemus attempts to ignore the whole conversation of politics while he attends to his chores. It's another amazing episode of Meta-Cosmos with a roundabout civics lesson, in which we learn that the working class holds the only power that really matters.

Bartleby and Artemus revisit the topic of the conflict between Palestine and Israel one year after it escalated to unprecedented levels. They examine the complicated topic where it seems nothing can be done and suggest there is something to do and maybe even someone to blame, and it isn't anti-Semitic.
