EPISODE 9: The Sands of Time Burn by FISCHER & TAG

In this week's episode, Neal and Lauren explore the wild world of action movies and conceptual art. Lauren recounts an embarrassing Zoom meeting mishap involving a school interview, a microphone, and a sandwich and later breaks down how a banana duct-taped to a wall sold for $120,000 and sparked debates about the nature of art. Neal dives deep into the history of action movies, tracing their evolution from the gritty film noir of the 1940s to the stylized "gun-fu" of the John Wick series. He explains how Taken (2008) revitalized Liam Neeson's career and launched a wave of "dad action" movies. And at the end of the episode, Lauren and Neal decide to create their OWN conceptual art...stay tuned to find out what it is!
