The podcast currently has 34 episodes available.
ACT 1
Joey and Charlie welcome friend of the pod James to the mic! Topics range from the new Venom movie to The Other Two, from cancelling Charlie (That's My Privilege) to the Free Britney movement (Let's Talk About the Apps), from Avril Lavigne's "Bite Me" to a discussion of whether or not it's good to be a hater. We go deep, y'all. Ignore the fact that this was recorded three months ago. Don't cry because it's over; smile because it happened.
ACT 2
James, Joey, and Charlie discuss James Wan's film Malignant through two lenses: one psychoanalytic, the other feminist. Because what does a trio of cisgender men love more than waxing poetic about Freud and feminism?

A lot of show, so much show, really making up for last ep’s missing ACT I. We talk about... Demon Twink; who was trying to hack [email protected]; and briefly an anticipation of the video game “12 Minutes” which we will cover with our next episode’s ACT II. And tangents, tangents, and cosines.
ACT 2
Hacks, created by Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs, and Jen Statsky; starring Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder. We look at the story engine of the show, the show in comparison to the important earlier work of the creative team, BROAD CITY, and Meg Statler.

Well...there is none due to operator error (Joey didn’t press record). But Charlie recaps what was lost.
ACT 2
Joey and Charlie discuss the new M Night Shyamalan movie, Old. Charlie makes an argument for why the plot-holes in the movie are a real problem, while Joey argues in favor of the inconsistencies and awkward dialogue and characterizations. Lastly, we ask if the surprise ending of the movie is really enough to be considered a "twist.”
