  • Pedophilia is WRONG

    Still one of my favorite podcasts but Michael Tracy is so obnoxious. To be so skeptical that you don’t believe anything is enough to make him incredible. To not believe that humans have the capacity to harm others, that a 40 something man should have credibility over a young woman who may not understand the consequences of saying yes to $ when you are broke (supposedly theft is committed by the poor because their poor). It’s obvious that Michael doesn’t think men can be bad people and just becau... more

  • Rommelmann is a gem

    Great convo! I would add, though, that there's a real mindset transformation going on in the culture wars--which left-wingers tend to blame on the right but (IMO) are more often to blame themselves. Politics has become their religion (socially, *not* spiritually), and it's as dogmatic as any monotheism, dictating that there can be no compromise on what they deem to be the moral truth, thereby leading them to believe with all their heart that the right is not simply wrong; they're evil.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

E400. Why The Right’s Meltdown Over The Odyssey Is Liberal | Art Tavana - Walk-Ins Welcome
Q: What role does press and marketing play in this discourse, in your view?
PR and marketing have become a battleground that can overshadow the film itself; some argue for fewer press junkets and more focus on the craft and story to avoid fueling the culture-war narrative.
E400. Why The Right’s Meltdown Over The Odyssey Is Liberal | Art Tavana - Walk-Ins Welcome
Q: Do you think Nolan's casting choices will affect the film's success at the box office?
Not significantly. The package around Nolan—the directing reputation, the marketing, and the spectacle—tends to carry the film. Audiences often turn out for Nolan regardless of casting debates.
E400. Why The Right’s Meltdown Over The Odyssey Is Liberal | Art Tavana - Walk-Ins Welcome
Q: What do you think is driving the polarized reactions to The Odyssey before anyone has seen the film?
The intensity comes from a mix of social media amplification, preexisting culture-war sentiment, and the anxiety around perceived shifts in who gets to tell these stories. But the core point is to judge the film on its own terms once it's seen, not on speculations.
E408. How To Build A Comedy Special | Dave Landau - Walk-Ins Welcome
Q: How do you approach building your new half-hour for a special?
Landau talks about mixing old material with newer stories that feel authentic and emotionally resonant, aiming for a set that reflects his life while remaining relatable to the crowd.
E397. Make Karens Great Again | Kira Davis - Walk-Ins Welcome
Q: What are your thoughts on Gavin Newsom and the California political climate?
The host and guest discuss deep concerns about California politics, corruption allegations, and potential indictments, with emphasis on how political influence and donor interests shape outcomes more than public sentiment.
