Residual Culture

This week, we're talking COMICS (all caps required!).  We start with last week's recommendations, including Dark Knight Returns and Daytripper.  Then we talk generally about comics, including different forms (graphic novels, web comics, etc.), art, and subjects. The episode concludes with recommendations for short stories.  Get into it!

This week, we are welcoming a super special guest.  Marc Rebillet joins us to talk about music, movies, and all the things that inspire him in his creative work.  In a departure from our usual format, Marc gave us three recommendations to discuss this week.  Then, we talk more generally about the creative process involved in Marc's work as an improv musician.  We also ask him some probing questions about his past, such as "wut?"  We're super excited for this episode!  If you haven't checked out Marc's work, you can find him here https://www.youtube.com/user/marcrebillet.   Get into it!

This week, we welcome our good friend Paula (aka Peebs) on the podcast to talk about one-hit wonders and all things 1990s music.  Paula challenged us to come up with a list of one-hit wonders, which is where our conversation begins.  Then we talk about Paula's EPIC 1990s band list.  For our Emergent Culture segment, we listen to the top song on Billboard's Top 100 list, and we quickly move into a rapid-fire session where we list more 90s bands.  No recommendations for next week because we will have a very special guest, and we're really excited about it.  Get into it!

In this episode, we're talking about The Oscars with special guest, Paul Marshall.  Everybody has brought a list of three Oscar snubs and three undeserved Oscar wins.  This leads to some playful debate.  Who will you agree with...especially when it comes to The Revenant?  This one should inspire some debates!  We finish the episode with recommendations for one-hit wonders.  Get into it!

This week, the boys have a special guest!  We diverge from our normal format a bit (no Emergent Culture this week), but Nisha Sridharan joins the podcast to talk about Bollywood. We have a fun conversation about the hallmarks of Bollywood, including some brief history of the industry and where it stands today.  Joey literally has no idea.  Check the episode for some sweet recommendations, but you might also like: Khabi Khushi Kabhi Gham, Om Shanti Om, Mother India, Pyaasa, Coolie, and Sholay.  Also, don't forget the Residual Culture love for Baaghi 2.

We got our first shout out!  Thanks, Derch!  You can find Derch's shout-out video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-W9G_GdGYBc  This week, the boys are talking about underrated movies.  They begin by discussing their recommendations, which include Killing Them Softly and Mumford.  Next, they talk about what makes a movie underrated.  Can cult classics be underrated?  Can a popular movie still be underrated?  Then, they watch a trailer for an upcoming Bollywood film, and get really pumped up!  WOO!  Get into it!

This week, they boys are talking comedy.  They start with their recommendations, which include John Mulaney and Bill Hicks.  This lasts a while, and Ben tries to deliver his own versions of jokes...and fails.  Then they talk about stand-up comedy more generally, and they deal with some interruptions and technical difficulties.  They watch a trailer for an upcoming Ricky Gervais comedy special, and they just can't seem to stop talking about stand-up comics.  Finally, they recommend underrated movies for next week, like Killing Them Softly and Mumford.  Get into it!

This week, the boys finally talk about music!  They begin by talking about last week's recommendations, including Jets to Brazil's "Orange Rhyming Dictionary" and Rainbow Kitten Surprise's "Seven + Mary."  Next, some general music discussion ensues, including the fact that they both play instruments!  They then discuss three albums that characterize their musical tastes at different times of their lives.  Joey doesn't think he knows the band Yes...shame!  Aaaand they watch a trailer for the new Snow Patrol album...so that happened.  Get into it!

The boys are talkin TV this week!  They start with television shows that they both just started, Ben gets a little nostalgic and Joey gets a little political.  After that, they get into some of the most influential shows in their lifetime. Joey also lists too many shows and Ben gets into one show in particular. Listen and find out what show you should be watching next!
