  • Fun and fab!

    I just discovered this podcast and am sad I didn't find it sooner! Paul and Erika are hilarious and their hot takes on old movies is a fun romp through pop culture. I also have to say, Erika has the best laugh EVER and I love listening to their banter on my boring commute. You two make my day brighter every time I listen. I just watched Scary Movie and the entire time I was imagining what you two would say as I watched. I beg you to do an episode on the Scary Movie series. Thanks for being awes... more

  • Great, but shhh

    Great idea for a podcast and it covers some of my favourite films which is great nostalgia. But please, we don’t need to constant out of control, fake, piercing laughter. Nothing is that funny that often! It hurts my ears…

  • You know it’s a GREAT podcast when…

    You see a time stamp that’s over 2.3 hours and your first thought is, “Yes!” Thanks That Aged Well… Your dynamic and unbridled silliness reminds me of wonderful times spent with my own best friend. And your insights are pretty terrific as well. “No notes!”

  • only here for the free tote bag

    I was listening to the Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory episode while I was getting ready for bed one night. I was about to finish brushing my teeth when I legitimately did a laughing spit take while my face was pointed up at the ceiling mid-gargle. A mixture of water, toothpaste and my own saliva went all over my face and freshly clean pyjamas. Thank you Paul and Erika for ruining clean pyjama night but making my day every time I listen to this podcast 🫧💖

  • Giggle Fits and Unfortunate Title Cutoffs

    What an incredible fun podcast, it brings me so much joy and I love when the jokes get so in the weeds that trying to explain them sends you into giggles of laughter and concerns the friends around you. Example? Explaining to your best friend and PhD in film holder, the TMNT Shredder/Liza Minnelli cabaret bit!

    My other biggest laugh was actually unintentional on Paul and Erica’s part. My car displays the title of the episodes, but as the titles are long, they often get shown in segments, which ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

That Aged Well Interviews: Justin C. Key
Q: How do you view the role of technology as a tool versus a determinant of outcomes in medicine?
Technology should augment clinical judgment, not replace it; the narrative shows data can illuminate things humans might miss, but patient humanity, ethical considerations, and clinicians' interpretive skills remain essential.
That Aged Well Interviews: Justin C. Key
Q: Was the Chosen One arc something you planned from the start or did it evolve during writing?
It evolved from the mid-point onward as a deliberate shift to reveal stakes and character growth, transforming a conventional trope into a more grounded, school-story-like journey with personal and societal implications.
That Aged Well Interviews: Justin C. Key
Q: What inspired the hair symbolism for Pac and how does it connect to the New Orleans community?
Hair became a tangible marker of identity, culture, and intergenerational care, especially in a city with deep racial and community histories; it helps ground Pac's experiences and fosters empathy across readers.
That Aged Well Interviews: Justin C. Key
Q: How did you balance the medical realism with speculative AI elements?
I anchored the story in medical training realities—examining patients, observing symptoms, and medical decision making—while using AI as a backdrop that raises questions about humanity, bias, and the need for physician oversight.
That Aged Well Interviews: Justin C. Key
Q: What drew you to set the novel in New Orleans and make it a holdout against AI encroachment?
The setting allowed me to explore climate, culture, and historical trauma (e.g., Katrina) that influence people's trust in technology and institutions, giving the story emotional texture and ethical stakes beyond pure tech themes.
