And What Are You Into

The guys brace themselves for upcoming changes to the podcast and also how wonder any of their opinions will age. Ian is playing Red Dead Redemption 2, which is a very unique and interesting thing to do. Bobby tries to explain YouTube culture to Ian and just ends up embarrassing himself. Finally, the guys talk about the first season of Survivor. Popular culture discussed: Red Dead Redemption 2, Pokemon Let's Go, Jake Paul, Shane Dawson

This week the guys walk on eggshells during a harrowing discussion of sexual assault in fiction, and Bobby comes to the very interesting and unique decision that he doesn't think Tony Soprano is a very nice guy. Then Ian goes through a journey in which he both hardens and softens in his opinion of Sondheim, and Bobby slowly deflates over the realization that Into the Woods is perhaps an imperfect film adaptation of a more interesting stage play. Media Discussed: The Good Place, Spider-Man PS4, Preacher, Detroit: Become Human, Bojack Horseman.

This week, Bobby gets pompous about his role as defect sound engineer. Ian laments how cars automatically playing tracks in alphabetical order has destroyed his relationship with Mike Birbiglia and also how he'll never be sure if Bobby is being sincere about his love for Alto's Adventure Bobby's pick is the feel-good romantic comedy Green Room. Just kidding, Green Room is ugly and terrifying. Quality content be damned, Ian has decided to make Bobby watch The Sopranos two episodes at a time until Bobby plays some stupid video game. Popular culture discussed: Mike Birbiglia, Alto's Adventure, Tiny Wings, Good Christian Fun, Night Trap

We're Back! After a fairly long summer hiatus, the guys are back. After righteously shaming Bobby for his many failings, Ian talks about Blockers, the most woke teen sex comedy ever made. Next, Bobby brings the Simpsons documentary The Problem with Apu, and the guys have a real discussion about identity politics and fandom.

It's been awhile! The guys argue about the difficulty of pronouncing Obama staffer names. Ian teases Bobby for enjoying Netflix romcoms. Bobby teases Ian about his dumb comic books. After that, it's all about unlikely heroes and villains! Bobby brings Cobra Kai, the YouTube Red follow-up to Karate Kid. The guys discuss their relationship to the original film and the nature of humanizing villains. Finally, Ian's pick is the hit Netflix series GLOW. The guys talk about the genius of the show's casting, typecasting hero and villain roles, and how Marc Maron isn't actually as problematic as we think he is. Pop Culture Discussed: Who Thought This Was a Good Idea by Alyssa Mastramonaco, Set it Up, Gotham Central

The guys are recording in person this week and are way too thrown by that. After gushing about his favorite comedy currently on tv, even though apparently he doesn't know who created it, Ian talks with Bobby about Brooklyn 99 and police representation. Then Bobby brings the experimental Florence into the conversation and Ian points out that Bobby seems to really enjoy depressing stories about relationships. Both of the guys generally use the word "Woke" too much. Pop Culture Discussed: Hamilton, Uncharted, Solo, Feminist Frequency

This week the guys go long again since apparently that's what they do when it's Ian's turn to edit. After talking way too much about the merits of Aaron Sorkin, Bobby introduces Ian to Enlightened, a fascinating character study into self improvement in the modern age. Then Ian and Bobby discuss Preacher and the razor's edge of acceptable dark humor. Then, after being on their best behavior for most of the show, the guys spend another hour talking about video games. Media discussed: God of War, West Wing, Blockers, YouTube game design, Pokemon Go, Monster Hunter World, Arrested Development Season 4 Remix

After last week’s excessively long episode, the guys jump right into it. Bobby’s pick is the viral Adult Swim short Too Many Cooks, which Ian has never seen. However, the two end up spending half the time talking about the terrifying short Unedited Footage of a Bear instead. Next is Ian’s pick—Brigsby Bear, which is a quirky, wonderful film about one man’s relationship with a weird kid’s show. Spoilers abound, so watch the film first. Finally, the guys square off about Spielberg’s Ready Player One. It’s a film about shallow consumerism, but Ian refuses to concede because playing video games is too much fun. Bobby loses his mind over the logic behind time-traveling DeLoreans. The episode still ends up being pretty long. Popular culture discussed: Marvel Strike Force, Avengers: Infinity War (non-spoiler), Far Cry 5, Unedited Footage of a Bear

This week the guys go long and talk way too much about everything in the world except Marvel Strike Force. Then they discuss perhaps the strangest installment of the four brothers from New York with TNMT: Out of the Shadows. Next, Bobby brings fun level back down to earth with a documentary about a national tragedy. But seriously, Tower turns out to be a beautiful, even inspirational film about human bravery. And finally, the guys decide to cash in on the craze and try their hand at the Disney/Pixar Bracket- the differences in their choices...will ASTOUND you. Pop Culture Discussed: Pretty much every Disney and Pixar movie, Jesus Christ Superstar, Stephen King, Not Marvel Strike Force For next time: Adult Swim's short "Too Many Cooks" and Kyle Mooney's "Brigsby Bear"
