    Ep. 99: Netflix's 'One Piece' adaptation and the race to turn anime into live-action IP

    Ep. 99: Netflix's 'One Piece' adaptation and the race to turn anime into live-action IP

    This week, we're talking about the good and bad of Netflix's 'One Piece' live-action adaptation, along with some of their other recent attempts like 'Cowboy Bebop.' Adapting anime seems to be a big source of IP right now for streaming, but is it actually working? And is it adding anything to these stories? We discuss.

    Ep. 95: Pay the writers and actors! (and other strike talk) + previewing the future of the movie monoculture with Barbenheimer

    Another pod, another day supporting the people that make the commercial art we love possible. Let's talk about the strike and writers and actors getting paid what they deserve. 

    Then, we preview the biggest movie weekend of the year. Review of Barbie and Oppenheimer to come next week. Thank you for listening!

    Ep. 92: The excellence and difficulty of 'Beef' and other problem conversations about (probably) bad people

    Ep. 92: The excellence and difficulty of 'Beef' and other problem conversations about (probably) bad people

    We're returning to talking about 'Beef' now that we've both completed the show. It's an excellently written TV that feels transcendent but also finds itself in controversy because of past comments by one of the cast members. We discuss what it means for the show, what it means to consume art by people who are likely bad people, and how we try and often fail to find the right ways to talk about it.

    Ep. 86: 'Scream VI' trailer reaction, 'The Last of Us' episodes 1-2, and a pop-punk check in on Fall Out Boy, Paramore, and more

    We're back again with our most loaded pod episode in a while, talking about how Scream VI stole our bodega horror story idea, The Last of Us and zombies vs. human characterization, and then a check-up on new albums coming from Fall Out Boy, Paramore, and more of our pop-punk favorites.
