It's the first canon episode of the year! Join Matt and Ethan as they take on the existential question of modern consumerism in 1976's Network. Are we all doomed to that horrific dead-eyed stare that is so common for the worshipers of the screen? Even if we are, don't neglect your podcasts!

Next time on the AFI: Cabaret

Happy holidays, folks! Ethan and Matt take a trip down to Africa on this one, living on whiskey and sinking German warships for the British Empire. If you're uncomfortable with your hosts imagining a world in which they are a sexually-involved odd couple, maybe skip this one...

Next time on the AFI: Network (1976)

This week, Ethan and Matt drink all the Burgeon and swerve to avoid those porcupines. It makes sense, I promise.

Matt and Ethan make some kind of return from their Patreon exclusive Double Down episodes of Stranger Things for AFI's Top 100, number 68, Unforgiven (1992). It...was a movie. THAT much is certain.

Matt and Ethan slip into their female personas for this one as they discuss gender, equality, and Dustin Hoffman.

And don't forget to Double Down with season 2 of Stranger Things and the 9 additional episodes the boys are putting up for Patrons of the Arts only!

Welcome to episode 1 of our Double Down series! Here, Ethan and Matt will explore the best TV not on TV and other shows to give you, the listener, that added value that you so crave. The first series is going to cover Stranger Things season 2! The first one's always free, but you'll have to show us some Patreon love to get the remaining 8 episodes in the sophomore season of Matt and Ethan's favorite show of 2016!

Come back Monday for yet another episode, and don't forget to check out our free episodes as well! Next week is #69 on AFI's Top 100, Tootsie.

It's time for a bit of the ultraviolence! Matt ruined his voice so he's going to be doing a bit of the ultraviolence on this sound file while Ethan does whatever it is he does here...hitting people in the yarblockoes?
