  • Great stuff

    Two of my favorite people from two of my favorite podcasts teaming up to talk about their areas of expertise?? What more could you ask for. You’ll learn, you’ll laugh, and you’ll wonder how they know these things. Plus my one year old loves to dance to the theme song in the car. Keep it coming!

  • Fantastic stuff

    Triviality and Miss Information are my two favorite podcasts and now they have had a beautiful mutant baby. I love it so much. Both of the hosts have the gift of gab and a depth of knowledge about their respective interests. An absolute joy to listen to.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Considered Sexy For a Brief Period of Time
Q: Yeah, yeah. I'm really interested to know like what the list is, because, I mean, you're absolutely right. Like it's, and what you should do is you should make a letterboxed list of these.
The idea is to compile a curated list of essential 1969 films across genres, with background on why each is important to the year, so listeners can watch and compare them themselves, and potentially share it on Letterboxd for community engagement.
Locked in a Museum
Q: Is there a museum that you would be okay being trapped in?
Both hosts agree on the Metropolitan Museum of Art due to its vast collection.
It Go Up
Q: Have you seen the movie Scream?
I have not. I'm so sorry.
It Go Up
Q: What are your Halloween traditions with Isaac coming up?
We didn't do trick or treating when we were kids, so this is like a new thing for me. I'm looking forward to it.
