Dear listeners, there are few joys as wonderful as providing y'all with unknown little gems filled with quirky body horror and a deep commitment to the bit. This movie made my transhumanist orifices quiver with joy. Enjoy our discussion of the extremely mid concept that is "naturalness".

Listeners, have we got a story for you. Two Lovecraftian podcasters so far up their own allegorical asses they do a podcast about a movie about a podcaster doing a Lovecraft. It's meta all the way down folks, so naturally we're talking memetics and the ethics of content creation. Enjoy!

Is Barbie really a Barbie girl? And in what way is this really a Barbie world? How do we assess whether life in plastic really is fantastic, not to mention the questionable principles of consent inherent in the idea that you can undress her everywhere. Most importantly, is Barbie feminist, and if so, what kind of feminist? These earworm questions and more on this weeks instalment of Alienating your Audience! Enjoy! Children of Memory: ...

Welcome to the Apple TV Silo! Why are we trapped in this strange and artificially limited space? Why can't anyone learn about the before times or openly worry that we're not getting the full story? Why do we all accept this illusion of freedom while being kept in cages? I'm for sure talking about the plot of this show and not the current state of online prescription streaming. And We're fore sure talking about conspiracy theories and why talking about them makes us all sad if we do it right. ...

Part three of our trip to BONE TOWN! Time for all our hot space lesbians to come together and learn that teamwork makes the dream work. We're discussing anti-meritocractic pedagogy, but lets all be honest, you're here for the pool scene discourse.

Whatever your preferred gender performance arrangement for a love triangle, we got it. Also, a scathing critique current educational approaches and how they drive everyone to toxic burnout and conspicuous production. Also, very sexy soul draining. Sorry, philosophy, focus.

In the grim dark future, there is only show notes. Are you MAN enough to pick up an absurd set of sentences and hold the line alongside literally overwrought walking metaphors? We're covering Helsreach, a fan made movie in the Warhammer 40k universe, and discussing both the philosophy of Grimdark and the interestingly related philosophy of Gamergate. We discuss why 40k is one of the last major holdouts in the Gamergate wars.  Helsreach: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2WGE1L6WKs Grimdark:...

Well, at last we've come to our not super long or honestly all that taxing journey. We asked some hard questions that we felt no obligation to answer. We banged some hot blacksmiths and blew off our obligations to play with the phytoplankton. If this isn't the good life, there probably isn't one.

What would you do if a slightly better version of you tried to steal your life, and you were legally allowed to fight them to the death? Can you tell yourself you wouldn't, you'd do something better? You'd let them kill you? Welcome to the world of Dual, where we're gonna talk about what it means to lead a good life in a dehumanizing society, or any society really! What do you owe to your future selves, your past selves? Anything? If you don't what does that mean for your ongoing projects of...

You starting to peak yet? Tracers, maybe some time dilation? Maybe your sense of truth has started to come unraveled and you realize that the frames that society forces you to use to understand reality are actually systems of control meant to keep you from reaching the transcendent state of enlightenment that is your birthright as a child of light?
