  • ICYMI journalistic malpractice

    The episode on Ethan Klein didn’t even attempt to do any fact-checking or reaching out to the other side. In turn, they have completely botched the story, which isn’t even primarily about Fauxmoi.

  • Best Musical 2024: Oscar Transitions

    Speaking as a straight heterosexual female, Emilia Perez is one of the best entertaining musicals of all time. I was entertained! I’m at a loss as to why your show is overthinking this musical. Don’t explain again.

    Film is at its best when it’s ridiculous and non-sensical, has no moral or societal representations or message. There is no standard. I’m so tired of movies and tv (and your discussion) trying to send me a message of morality, and higher callings, representation. That’s not why I’m... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Culture Gabfest: The Timothée Chalamet vs. the Blue Aliens Edition
Q: Oh, that's so interesting. I'm excited to get into that. I was delighted by this movie. So let me ask you, Sam, did you like those layers that were present, even as it was exhausting?
I thought it calibrated that really well.
Culture Gabfest: The Timothée Chalamet vs. the Blue Aliens Edition
Q: Sam, you're our guest today. Let's just dive in to Marty Supreme, which is a gigantically rollicking movie. Did you enjoy its rollic or were you put off?
I very much did. One of the things I like coming back to these movies in podcast form, is just listening to the clips. In that one, I was just really struck by the way Timothée Chalamet is just delivering his lines there.
ICYMI | The Great Meme Reset of 2026
Q: Can you plan memes?
It is humorous to think you can coordinate meme culture because they evolve in unpredictable ways and are shaped by the spontaneity of internet users.
ICYMI | The Great Meme Reset of 2026
Q: What do we mean when we say brain rot memes?
Brain rot memes are often surreal memes that don't make sense at first and have become so detached from straightforward jokes that their humor is based on the act of sharing itself rather than the content.
Care & Feeding | ENCORE! Managing Screen Time Without Losing Your Mind
Q: How do you handle tech for your young kids at school?
Seek constructive dialogue with school administration about the use of technology and the importance of assessing its effectiveness.
