This week, Monstark & Me reflect on the podcast, and take some time to clarify some of our views on many of the issues we've discussed in the past. Hopefully, this is the last podcast in which we discuss politics for a little while.

This week, it's episode 42, so we give you the answer to live, the universe, and everything. We discuss the our new D&D campaign, the Capitol Riots, MechaTrump, and getting cancelled.

THIS WEEK, MONSTARK AND ME DISCUSS THE TRAGIC PASSING OF MF DOOM, THE NEW BREED OF CELEBRITIES AND "CONTENT CREATORS," WHY INSPIRATION COMES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, GROWING UP IN THE ERA BEFORE MOBILE PHONES, CREATING SPACE FOR CREATIVITY, FRANCIS E DEC, AND DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS! THIS EPISODE WAS LIVE-STREAMED ON TWITCH.TV/ANTIFASCISTSOCIALCLUB - PLEASE FOLLOW IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CATCH US LIVE IN THE FUTURE! (THIS PODCAST DESCRIPTION WAS WRITTEN IN "ALL CAPS" IN LOVING TRIBUTE TO MF DOOM).

Pre-Thanksgiving pod! We get all of our contraversial talk out before the holidays so we don't piss off our families. Monstark & Me fashion corner! Scientology! Cults! Red States! Death! Disappointing your parents! Buy the ticket, take the ride.

California's on fire again. Naizs in Portland. The debates. The world's a dumpster fire, so we sit down and talk it out.

The world is yet again on fire. Monstark and Me discuss political identity, being judgemental bastards, cognitive dissonance, censorship, fear of complacency, taking time to smell the roses and listen to the crickets, being comfortable in your own home, and how to make the most of quarantine. It's a veritable buffet bonanza of blathering.

This week, we discuss the good that the protests have done, and weeeeeeeeeed.

This week Monstark & Me have a long, raw, unedited conversation about everything going on in the country. We discuss our feelings on the murder of George Floyd, the protests, police brutality, our stupid president, anti-fascism, and how the US must look to the rest of the world. It's not an easy conversation, but we tried our best. We encourage you to have similar conversations with your friends and family.

A lot has happened since we last recorded over six months ago. Fires, plagues...it's almost like the end times are upon us. Anyhow, this time around we catch up, discuss the current global pandemic, psychedelics, death, fear, and writing.
