This episode we are diving into two fever dreams: one driven by a man drowning in the prison of his own psyche, the other a couple in love turning America's violence obsession into a grotesque carnival. And all while hoping to record an episode that one could still label as "fun". And guess what! we decided to bring Maddi Thompson (@mightiestmaddi) along for the ride!

Let us revisit two classic stories about a child facing devastating loss and learning to let go. One looks outward, finding a strange friend in your backyard and a universe in your bedroom, the other turns inward, asking its young hero to confront guilt, identity, and the weight of who he's supposed to become. We are bringing our good buddy, Brad Tricola back for another episode as we unpack these two classics along with our gambling habits???

What a fun season full of wildly fun movies! We ate fruit we shouldn't have, while hanging out in The Bathtub; we told stories to cover up our pain; we were children of men and grandkids of great-great-great-great-great grandparents; we tried to find the edges of our consciousness while wearing designer heels; and visited an old auteur rivalry of Year Over Year once again. As always, thanks for listening and tell two friends this week to follow us on whatever platform they may.

For the second week in a row, we are doing our best to avoid reality (because it's dark!), and jumping into two movies that are full of magical realism: The Fall and Life of Pi. The effervescent Jonny Cantrell joins us in the pod basement this episode, where we will unpack which budget for these movies was bigger: The Fall's helmet budget, or Life of Pi's animated tiger budget.

We are back, and wrapping up a season that almost never happened! 1998 will live on to fight another day. We visited a broad set of topics this season including: two wildly different movies that owe a little something to their detective noir forefathers; war! what's it good for? not much besides beating back nazis; the quest for love; putting your personal lives on video; and a very beloved little corner in Brooklyn.

Crime is afoot this week! And we've got two of our most beloved detectives on the case: a stoner slacker who only drinks white russians, and a rich kid who decided to become a vigilante of justice after witnessing his parents' murder. We've got our own sleuth of the truth, Peri Ahmadi, on the show this week!

Another one in the books! And this was a little bit of a surprise! A year that I never really considered super strong takes the win, and heads into round two.

Let's take a long walk through the Copacabana! Or maybe The Red Circle? It's cool, we have a tab, or maybe we'll just pay for the entire night with a single gold coin. That's right!

"And you may find yourself, in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife, and you may ask yourself, 'Well, how did I get here?'" This episode we are NOT talking Talking Heads, but we are taking on two beloved sci-fi films. One of which asks, "What is reality?", and the other asks, "What is perseverance?" Josh Pierce is our guest, our Kuato, and is here to help us unpack all the fun.

Where are we? Are we trapped inside our own psyche? Are we suspended between heaven and hell? Are both of those the same place? We can't figure it out, but our guest, Bill McKinley, can! This episode we dig into two movies that question what is real, and what is just our own minds. Gosh, I could use a chiropractic adjustment.

This week we are not alone! Because we are joined by fellow podcasters, Greg Nibler and Sarah X Dylan, from Funemployment Radio.
