This week we're talking movies with a twist.  We start by talking about our recommendations: The Usual Suspects and Lucky Number Slevin.  Then we talk about some different types of twists, including a bunch of movies with different types of twists.  For emergent culture, we watch a trailer for Sorry to Bother You.  Get into it!

In this episode of Residual Culture Joey and Ben talk about everything they watched while on break. From the new Planet of the Apes movies to some truly amazing comedy specials. There is no formal theme for this episode but we hope you enjoy listening to the classic banter and maybe find some fun new things to watch, litsten to, or read!

Back to our roots!  That's right, this is the long-lost very first episode of Residual Culture.  It's so early that the title of the show was Your Media Has No Heart.  This is where it all began.  We talk about action movies, and name some of our favorites.  After releasing twenty episodes, we hope you enjoy our proto-episode.  Get into it!

This week we're talking westerns with our good friend, Fil Corbitt.  Instead of rank-orders or any "best of" lists, we simply talk about what makes a good western, and we share some of our favorites.  Joey comes into this episode ill prepared, but he tries his best.  For emergent culture, we watch a trailer for "Gone Are The Days."  Next week, we're talking movies with a twist!  For more from Fil Corbitt, see this: http://filcorbitt.com Get into it! 

This week we're talking with our special guest, Dr. Patrick File, about The Simpsons.  We begin with some general discussion of our experiences with this iconic series.

This week, we're going back to a classic format: ranking a director's movies.  We talk Tarantino and give our rankings of his films (those he's directed).  For emergent culture, we dive into some rumors about Tarantino's new film, "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood."  Next week, we're talking about Westerns with a good friend of the podcast, Fil Corbitt.

In honor of the recently released Solo movie, we're talking STAR WARS (all caps required).  We start with some general discussion about Solo.  Don't worry, no spoilers!  Then we talk about how each of us got into Star Wars and what it means to us.  Then we rank order all ten of the Star Wars feature films, and we have some fun debates.  Then we watch a trailer for a Star Wars video game...that was never made.  Will it ever be emergent culture?  Next week, we will be talking about podcasts (thanks to our Patrons for the suggestion!).  Get into it!

This week, we welcome special guest Casey Bell into the studio to talk about short stories, literature, and creative writing.  We begin by discussing our recommendations from last week, which included The Bet by Anton Chekov and The Colour Out of Space by H.P. Lovecraft.  Then we talk generally about literature and creative writing before a special segment where we workshop some of Ben's creative writing.  For Emergent Culture, we talk about Red Clocks by Leni Zumas.  For next week, we're getting meta!  Recommendations are podcasts.
