TRASHFUTURE

This week, Nate and Milo address the important issue: why is there a culture of getting on it and getting completely blasted out of your mind? What is a big night out? What is the sesh? What is the deal with those guys in the picture? To help our investigation, we brought on nightlife expert and journalist Tom Usher (@Tom_Usher_) to discuss.

We've finally taken the time to discuss NFTs, and in so doing we brought on two working artists -- musician Dan Boeckner and cartoonist Matt Lubchansky -- to discuss the new liberation that comes from putting your art on the blockchain. Zero negative side effects here! Nothing to worry about.

Journalist Vincent Bevins (@vinncent) joins the gang to discuss the unravelling of Brazil's Lava Jato corruption investigation, the seismic impact of Lula's re-emergence as a political contender on Bolsonarismo, and some idiotic responses to same. Also, Britain's long love affair with statues and nukes heats up once again.

In this episode, Milo takes Nate on the most inscrutable journey yet: a vision of British 1980s/90s sitcoms that are too cockney to be parsed without a translator. Yes, it's the 'Heroes and Villains' episode of Only Fools and Horses, perhaps the most British thing Nate has had to encounter yet, and the one that did the most to break his spirit. Hope you enjoy!

Boonta Vista's Andrew and Trashfuture's Riley are back with a brand new "show within a show" about the lasting cultural impact of September 11. In the first episode they introduce the show and discuss Oliver Stone's World Trade Center, the commoditisation of tragedy, memorial NASCAR races and a two word phrase from that fateful day that lives on in cultural infamy.

Just like the Boney Island Whitefish before it, further episodes of American Psychosis will be dropping monthly on both the Trashfuture and Boonta Vista Patreons!

This week, we've brought on Aaron Thorpe (@thotteusstevens) of the Trillbillies and A Time of Monsters podcasts, to discuss the British royal family and the recent Oprah interview with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. What is the deal with this institution? Why do British people simply accept this? Get it all explained here.

We explore a fun new start up that solves the most difficult problem of paying down debt: the user interface. Then, we go on to explore the strange triangulations in British politics of who can compete to give nurses a more reasonable pittance. Will Starmer be easily outmanoeuvred by the Tories, who will continue to successfully implement their patronage model of the economy? Of course he will!

We finally got around to the thing that everyone told us to do: review Guy Ritchie's King Arthur movie, a film in which the early medieval legend is rendered as a tale of East London geezers. To verify its accuracy, we brought on friends of the show Eleanor Janega (@GoingMedieval) and Patrick Wyman (@Patrick_Wyman). Are you not entertained?

Algorithm jockey and financial wizard Emily (@theemilyaccount) talks about how the Tech Boom, enabled as it was by overly restrictive monetary and fiscal policy, is starting to come apart at the seams. Was it a bubble? Is it popping? Too early to say, but not too early to enjoy a little schadenfreude! We also explore the nature and role of ARKK, the actively managed ETF beloved by redditors, and hated by the rest of Wall Street for all the wrong reasons.

Plus, Johannes Vonk and the Clogheads return with a new song recovered from the archives.

We're joined by Ed Ongweso Jr (@bigblackjacobin) of This Machine Kills Podcast (@machinekillspod) to discuss the Fight for $15, the efforts to unionise Amazon facilities in Bessemer, Alabama, the Biden Administration making publicly pro-union statements while appointing the architects of Proposition 22 to advisory roles, and much more.
