Well, it's official. We've sunk to all new lows over here at the Insatiable Content Podcast. Due to external pressures, I've not only been watching the 10th season of "Vanderpump Rules", but I'm actually up on ALL the gossip of Scandoval. So up on it in fact that I'm podding about it with none other than Kate Simon (we apologize to all the listeners expecting something more high-brow -- normal programming will return next week with a complete breakdown of the post-modern thematic overlaps of Infinite Jest and Gravity's Rainbow). Even more embarrassing? There's a strong case that this is some of the most compelling, meta, and thought-provoking (I can't believe I just used that phrase) reality TV ever. This season turned the mirror of reality TV around on itself, with the audience becoming more knowledge than the characters on the show about what was happening in their lives. The result is a fascinating front row seat to witness how striving, D-list stars respond to real events that impact their real lives and breakdown the fourth wall of reality TV. I couldn't turn away and this is worth talking about it. Or at least that's what I'm telling myself to ease the shame of liking this show (again, I want to point out I was FORCED to watch this). Tune in to hear all about it, as well as for a recommendation for "The Uncertain Hour" podcast and my victory lap about Taylor Swift's faulty relationship radar. Listen now!

We've returned! We only podcast when Vincent is 100% Vincent, and thankfully I was today because we discussed one of my favorite topics — the NBA Playoffs. The playoffs are starting up and I was joined by Alex Jarrell and Daniel Meekins to give one thing each of us are looking forward to in every first round series. We covered a lot, so get ready for some wild takes, including Jokic slander, Westbrook fluffing, Trey Young hairline jokes, and a lot of Durant worship. This is a fun one and you'll even get to here some feedback for the host, when my guests finally figure out that yes, I will pick against a team even when they should clearly win just because I don't like them! THAT'S THE BRAND! THAT'S WHAT WE DO HERE! It's love it or garbage. Listen, enjoy, and hit that subscribe button.

We're still Insatiable over here. The Insatiable Content Podcast occurs with what might be our bawdiest and funniest episode yet. Noted Channing Tatum connoisseur Kate Simon returns to discuss "Magic Mike's Last Dance", the third and final movie in the Magic Mike trilogy. This episode gets especially steamy as we go long on using furniture to support your dance moves, critiques on my dancing and voice work, Last Dance's utterly preposterous plot, and why it's so hard not to love these movies (yep, that language was VERY intentional). Plus, Kate attempts to justify JIF as a viable food product to varying degrees of success.

In the latest episode of "The Insatiable Content Podcast", I'm joined by my friend and returning guest, Eric Cherrie, to discuss the confrontational, bizarrely fantastic, and borderline indescribable third season of Donald Glover's "Atlanta". The show continues to be unlike anything else on TV and this season sets new standards for directly challenging its audience. We go episode by episode to talk about the myriad ways Glover approaches racism, and whether the one-off nature of many of the episodes this season left us dissatisfied. We also cover whether it's even worth asking if we like this show and who it's intended for. And of course, we spend a lot of time on the Liam Neeson cameo. Listen now!

All we do is win over here at the Insatiable Content Podcast. On this episode, I'm joined by Friend of the Pod, Jadi Mwendo, to discuss the erratic, unique, hyperbolic, and wildly entertaining HBO series "Winning Time" about the 1979-1980 Showtime Lakers. The show is a roller coaster ride that liberally mixes fiction and fact, along with a lot of sex and drugs. Oh yeah, and a little basketball. We cover:

• The show's amazing casting, including John C. Reily's lecherous portrayal of Jerry Buss, the former owner of the Lakers
• Whether the show's fictionalization of the team is worth it
• Whether the show is actually good at portraying basketball
• The outrage about their depictions of the people in the show, like Jerry West

And you get to hear Jadi take me to task for my cereal preferences. Listen now!

Well, this is a first! On the newest episode of the Insatiable Content Podcast, I'm joined by none other than my Very Special Lady Friend (TM), Kate Simon, who despite her best judgment agreed to watch the new Michael Bay-Jake Gyllenhaal film "Ambulance" with me. To say this movie is bad is being generous. It's a ludicrously plotted, completely incoherent action-thriller that is gloriously unintentionally funny. After first premiering a new show segment "Favorite or Garbage," in which Kate explains why my cereal habits make me a monster, we break down just why "Ambulance" is so, so, so bad, with highlights that include:

• Why you should never hit on a woman in her workplace
• Gyllenhaal's inexplicable yelling
• Why painting an ambulance green isn't a great tactical decision when in engaged in a high speed chase
• Whether unconditional love entails overlooking your partner's numerous felonies

Listen now so you can experience the movie without, you know, actually having to watch it!

Two episodes in one week? You're goddamn right. On this episode of the Insatiable Content podcast, I get to talk about my favorite show of 2022 thus far -- Apple's "Severance." I'm joined by Colin Reingold, a savvy culture connoisseur, lawyer, and all around great person. And he actually starts the podcast by giving me some serious (and deserved) feedback about the title of the podcast. We discuss the show WITHOUT SPOILERS so listen even if you haven't watched every episode yet or are just interested in the show. We cover a lot, including:

• Adam Scott, Ben Stiller, and the all around fantastic cast
• What this show suggests about workplace culture and capitalism in general
• It's connections to shows like "The Office" and "Parks and Rec"

We are back after an extended break with a truly incredible show focusing on the glory, the drama, the pettiness of the 2022 NBA Playoffs. I am joined by Alex Jarrell, a fellow NBA and Pelicans obsessive, to discuss all things about this year's truly exciting first round matchups. Even if you're not an NBA fan, you'll enjoy this conversation. We go through every series, but don't just offer our predictions, as we also cover why we love the Kyrie heel turn, Tyler Herro's hair, and whether Zion should be traded or not.

On the 20th (!!) episode of the Insatiable Content podcast, I'm joined by my friend, award-winning graphic designer Sonya Contino (@scontinodesign) to discuss the new Netflix doc "Tinder Swindler" and all things online dating. We get into whether this is a good documentary or just a formulaic tale of an audacious true crime story. We also discuss con men, why people are attracted to wealth, and whether online dating is all one big Ponzi scheme. We also share some of our biggest, most outrageous takeaways from being on the apps ourselves.

We cover the following:

• What makes imposters want to do what they do?
• David Samuels' book The Runner
• Why people are attracted to money
• The elements of a Netflix documentary
• Why men are all monsters
• My favorite response to an online dating prompt of all time -- Mountains or Beach?

In this rollicking episode of the Insatiable Content Podcast, I'm joined by my long-time friend and former college roommate, Kwame Boadi, to discuss the Netflix hit, "Ozark," which just had its fourth season premiere in January. This may be the wildest podcast episode yet, as we get personal, recounting Kwame's love of Madonna's "Like A Prayer", as well as all things money laundering. In this episode, we discuss:

• The proper way to say Kwame's last name
• How Jason Bateman is really good at playing Jason Bateman
• How Wendy Byrd is just like my high school girlfriend
• Whether Ozark is a metaphor for late-stage American capitalism and/or gentrification
• If Wendy is the weak link?
• Whether the Byrdes are the worst parents portrayed on screen since the McAllisters in Home Alone?
• "The Rap Around" -- the legendary underground hip hop radio show Kwame and I hosted at UVA
• Big Thief's forthcoming album
• All things Wu-Tang
• Why Nightmare Alley is trash
