“Is The Matrix The Greatest?” Comedian Fifi Dosch joins us to discuss the lasting power of The Matrix. Its ability to inspire people and mold their thinking (for good or ill) is nothing short of phenomenal. The jokes and insights fly as we parse one of the most seminal pieces of adventure cinema in the last 30 years. Yes, we talk about the much-maligned sequels including the most recent one, but chief in this dissection is the arguably “perfect” first movie and the ripples we are still feeling from its seismic pop cultural impact. The Wachowskis’ masterpiece is an excellent example of how a personal piece of art can have nearly universal appeal. Enjoy!

Writer, producer, and filmmaker Henry McComas (Wolfman’s Got Nards) joins us for a fireside chat entitled, “Is Horror The Greatest Genre?” Is that even a serious question? It’s probably the first genre ever invented and it’s still as popular as ever. Horror has an inexorable pull that only deepens as we develop more things to be afraid of. It retains its Eldritch power over our imaginations even as our actual lives get more casually horrific. We talk about our guest’s upbringing in Alaska and how it's a great place to set a horror flick. Other highlights of this episode include a comprehensive list of horror subgenres and a really interesting attempt at creating a list of our top five scary movies.

“Are Comic Books The Greatest Conservative Artform?” If this question is shocking to you in any way oh boy is this the podcast for you. Producer Bill and I apply The Overton Window (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overton_window) to mainstream comics and TV. We discuss everything from big 2 comics to Star Trek through the lens of The Overton Window in an attempt to see just how "right" or "left" wing your favorite comics and TV are. 

We DO NOT talk about the most recent horrific events or about gun control but you could see how we could have because that stuff fits right in the frame of The Overton Window. This one has some real soul searching, and I even have a long overdue epiphany about my own lasting love for The Punisher. I think this one is special and the only "good thing" to come out of Ron being out of commission the last week or so due to getting The 'Rona.

This is an instant classic. “Batman or Spider-Man, Who Is The Greatest?” To Ed, Ron, and Bill this is no run-of-the-mill “Who would win” argument. They leave that to the comic book mouth breathers to litigate on Twitter ad nauseam. No, this is a nuanced conversation about the flagship characters of Big 2 comics. These two are basically the top two examples of the modern superhero. As Bill states in the episode, this isn’t just Batman vs. Spider-Man this is a conversation about which of these characters is the greatest superhero concept OF ALL TIME.

We have to be kidding right? “The Greatest Toxic Fandoms?” Who would ask a question like that? Well, we would. And the answer is pretty funny. Ed, Ron, and Bill talk about the fan bases they personally dislike the most. While that’s a good time, the conversation morphs into an (almost) scientific breakdown of which fandoms suck the hardest. All the usual suspects pop up, Star Wars, Marvel, The Celtics, etc. This is some of our most incisive work yet. It will ruffle some feathers. At some point in this podcast, we will offend you. We will say that some of the people who like what you like are liking it to a degree and in a way that makes them bad. So if you’re ready to be challenged on your most deeply held pop-culture beliefs, hit play.
