Three with shared madness! While Andrew is still away, the boys talk about the eclipse, how much they could see in California versus Massachusetts and if the hype was real. Then they discuss the trailer for "Joker: Folie á Deux" and what it means now that the lauded first film is growing into its own franchise.

No, we're not scraping the bottom of the barrel. Anyone expecting we review "The Room" might be disappointed, though for one of us this was his first viewing. We discuss the artistic value of the film and what good there is to be mined from it.

The upcoming movie "Civil War" has (some) of our attention. But in a politically fraught era, is this movie safe or does artistic freedom give it carte blanche despite the times? Then, the boys talk about the new mascot for one notable Santa Clarita high school.
Here's what director Alex Garland told The Hollywood Reporter about his new film, out in April.

We do it again. One last time, perhaps. We provide commentary for the State of the Union, brought to you by Joseph Robinette Biden. Are we a week late? Indeed, but all presidential speeches are history anyway.

Welcome to the season finale and 200th episode of "Mars on Life." The boys are together one more time to play a game of chance for each of them to take over the discussion and let go of something on their chests, from the Mouse and copyright, to memoirs, to fandoms, to new podcasts and the term "Cali."
We want to thank our listeners for continuing to stick with us and all those who have supported us on this long journey. Season 5 and the show's four-year anniversary are coming soon, with more changes to come. Keep going and join us. You'll make it to Mars.

It has been one year since the death of Mike Davis. Californian, educator, activist and writer, he left a long list of books detailing America's working class, the myths and realities of Los Angeles, the global proletariat, climate change, urbanism and ecology. We take a look through his books, talk about his career and what his legacy means in an age with L.A.'s Virgil no longer with us.

Ryan and Drew talk about the news of the moment coming out of the Middle East, the news industry's response and how social media has fueled hate in the wake of this intense conflict.

To read the books Ryan recommended, here are some links:
"Blaming the Victims: Spurious Scholarship and the Palestinian Question" — edited by Edward Said and Christopher Hitchens
"Beyond Belief: The American Press and the Coming of the Holocaust, 1933-1945" — Deborah Lipstadt

We run another gamut of topics, from the ongoing Jonathan Majors controversy to a shooting in New Mexico following protests next to the statue of an obscure conquistador. We cap off the episode with the fandom surrounding Taylor Swift as she enters the "wide world," you could say, of sports.

Welcome to "The Falling Middle Cast," a podcast miniseries cohosted by Ryan and Sebastian as they talk about the professional middle class through the lens of Barbara Ehrenreich's seminal work "Fear of Falling: The Inner Life of the Middle Class." The two hope to understand more about why there's any kind of class disparity within the middle class itself and what the political movers and shakers are behind that disparity. In this episode, we go over the book's introduction.
To learn more about Ehrenreich and her body of work, check out "Know Our Enemy's" episode about her following her death last year.

Burning Man was chaos. What's the deal with lakes? And what really makes us want to read books? Other than that first part, it's as classic of a "Mars on Life" discussion as it gets.
Here is an online version of Christopher Hitchens' "Prisoner of Shelves" partially read at the end of the episode. Well worth a read.

Andrew and Ryan trek to the largest used bookstore in Massachusetts. Why? To comb its shelves in search of new reading. This includes seeking out a copy of "City of Quartz" for Andrew. Will they succeed? We'll see. The lovely Rachel and Taylor Mewhiney joined our cohosts on their journey.

How far will you go to see a movie? The guys talk about one intrepid film fan's mission to see "Oppenheimer" in New England. They also break down the heartbreaking tragedy that's taking place in Maui, with homes lost and accounts of tourists being tourists amidst the wreckage.
The guys lighten the discussion with some reflection on playing trivia, including one incident in 2015. Finally, Drew and Ryan talk a little about a genre of music not often discussed on MOL: disco.

Along with a gaggle of motorcycles next to Boston Common, Andrew, Ryan, Matt and, in little bites, Taylor Mewhiney review the sensation of the summer, the double feature of "Oppenheimer" (2023) and "Barbie" (2023). Apologies that our reviews reflect the runtime of both films.

Heat waves abound on both coasts while the Barbenheimer train chugs away! Ryan and Matt talk about the reactions to both movies, including conservative media's bizarre, boring response to "Barbie" and the gender and racial controversies with "Oppenheimer." One-third of us has seen the movie, tune in next week for our full reviews.

Heat waves across three continents are leaving people with little room for relief as the effects of climate change take their toll. Ryan regales to Matt about the premonitions of Kim Stanley Robinson's "The Ministry For the Future," and they discuss some of the very things contributing to our dying ecological world, including carbon-emitting pickup trucks and planes. As Ryan suggested last year, read the book.

A "Mars on Life" first, we talk about country music. Jason Aldean released a music video to accompany his two-month-old song, and it's the kind of song Matt and Ryan recognize growing up in Santa Clarita. Drew broaches the subject within the greater context of a sectional crisis within the country music world, how that reflects city life in the South and the country as a while, as well as conservative media's attempt at victimization (perhaps "The Sound of Freedom" fits in this category too).
Finally, we share an update on one of our intrepid cohosts as we enter the final 25 episodes of the season, closing in on Episode 200.

How have movies been lately?
We talk about the box office, Wes Anderson movies and, finally, give our prelude to the upcoming summer sensation: the double feature of "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer," two movies that couldn't be any more different.
We also catch up on Fourth of July shenanigans at the end of the show. Turns out two of us were in Rhode Island that day!

We sandwich our discussion with thoughts on the latest confectionery terror, the Grimace shake from McDonald's. Then we take a deep dive into Paul McCartney's action to push for the "last" Beatles song to be released later this year with the help of AI. It's a personal topic for Ryan, but what does it mean for music, art and artists when it comes to applying AI? What if it's good? How does it contrast with other post-breakup Beatle compilations and patchwork songs? Without the presence of John Lennon and George Harrison, can this really be considered a song by the Fab Four? It's a chat worth having and yes, we'll review it when it comes out.

Donald Trump is has now received federal charges, so what does that mean? Also, crowds of supporters were seen on the streets outside the Miami courthouse – why did they bother appearing? Then we talk further about our state of disunion and what it means for the sense of patriotic identity commonly seen in red states. Lastly, we pay tribute to the late author Cormac McCarthy with a reminder from one of our personally-beloved previous episodes.

"Succession" is over. Four seasons and 39 episodes later, Andrew and Ryan look back on the series as they recap the final two episodes. They hone in on how visceral this comedy/drama concluded, why the show need not continue and how its ending stacks up with other premiere cable shows like "The Sopranos," "Breaking Bad" and "Boardwalk Empire." Now that the show's over, is it rewatchable? Did your new CEO theories line up with what happened? Finally, did you like how the show ended?
We hinted at other podcasts worth checking out that talk about "Succession" in-depth, providing their own theories and even interviews with the stars of the show. Check these out and give them a listen, maybe even rewatch the series and listen along.

Eight episodes in, Drew and Ryan catch up on the final season of "Succession." They talk about the cultural, political and societal implications reflected in the show and how this season has played up recent history in multiple alarming contexts. Also, watch out for Ryan's smooth transition from talking about reading more Charles Bukowski into the main topic.

There's no fun allowed here as we talk about the L.A. Times spoiling the recent major episode of "Succession" (SPOILERS ENSUE HERE, SO AVOID LISTENING IF YOU ARE NOT CAUGHT UP).

They say don't meet your heroes; they also say don't participate in a 15-minute audio review regarding one of your cohost's recent article publications.
That second statement was made up; its what was called in the industry as "yellow journalism." Defined as emphasizing sensationalism over facts - that's about what's going on here. Eat your heart out, Eugene.

Stemming directly from regularly-scheduled programming, Sebastian Schug - co-host of Mars on Life - branches outward from traditional commentary fare surrounding the arts and overall society to a speculative lens of wit. Join a commentating journey ranging from topics surrounding financial nepotism concerning politicos to the opportunity in retroactively leveling a city for the sake of architectural chips on shoulders. There's also talk of machines taking over our subconscious - if you can believe that.

Seb is back thrifting, Matt’s in the midst of speed dating while Drew and Ryan were in a blizzard. How does one touch grass when lawns in Massachusetts AND California are blanketed in snow? And hey…what ever happened to weekends?
Then we move on to some recent news focused on the attempts to edit the published works of Roald Dahl and Ian Fleming. It's quite difficult to assess this in any other way than to describe this move as an attempt at censorship.
In case you're wondering why we're a day early, stay tuned for later this week!

"Mars on Life" turns 3! Andrew and Matt celebrate listening to Ryan and Sebastian's very first episode from Feb. 26, 2020, in a different world and in a different recording location. Does the episode still hold up? Sit back and celebrate with us.
We also want to give a well-deserved happy 25th birthday wish to cohost and "Mars on Life" cofounder Sebastian Schug. An Italian man once wisely said, "It ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward." If 25 could have a lesson attached to it, that's the one.

Jimmy Carter is in the news while President's Day has us looking at the recent news regarding Gov. Nikki Haley's presidential run. What does that mean for the oldest elephants in the room? Check out Time's article on the campaign announcement: https://time.com/6255878/nikki-haley-2024-announcement/
Our cohosts also talk about the state of the world, whether it's the devastating earthquake in Turkey and Syria or the catastrophic disaster in East Palestine, Ohio. With so much doom in the news, what solace is there for people beleaguered by fictional disasters becoming reality?

Sebastian and Ryan are back to give some new thoughts on the State of the Union that could shine some light on how the 2024 Election shakes out. Then they take a detour through the magical world of Harry Potter and the new video game.
We reference and recommend checking out verilybitchie's YouTube channel and her thoughts on the colossal consumerism of the "Harry Potter" franchise.

Matt's back! We talk about his new podcast "The Dark Domain" and catch up with how he's been since our "break." Our hosts also talk about how although the arts seem less fun, there's also a hefty cost to having fun. It feels so much less so when everything is so goddamn expensive.
Stay tuned for later in the program for some announcements regarding two new miniseries coming soon.
If you want to tune in to "The Dark Domain," head over to the link here.

Is there an end goal to politicking? Does politics have anything to do with bipartisanship and everything to do with power? In our coda to the State of the Union discussion, we (somewhat) answer these questions and more.

Join us as we launch our fourth season discussing – what else? – the arts, specifically with a trip to the Worcester Art Museum by Drew and Ryan. From there we talk about the usefulness of works of art over the years, and how much value absorbing oneself into a museum's galleries can enlighten the boredoms of life. We also reflect on state identity and how our resident "Massholes" cope with it. We may be three-quarters of a squad, but rest assured that Brother Matt will return soon.

The Season Three finale is here. We close 2022 on yet another reflective look at ourselves and the past season. Along with a long-awaited rant, we open up at how we kept ourselves grounded throughout the pandemic and where our hobbies have taken us at this stage of the pandemic and in our lives.
Once again, we thank everyone who supported us along the way. We wish you all strength and redemption going into the new year. May the wind be on our backs.

The boys celebrate Ryan's birthday with another discussion on how one accomplishes landing a job with a college degree – or a master's degree and higher, more likely. Hopefully, brushing up on Barbara Ehrenreich's "Fear of Falling" will start to answer more questions for one of our intrepid cohosts who received it.
Finally, Sebastian reviews "Velvet Buzzsaw." To hear Ryan and Drew's review, check out "Hoboman Mindset." For the movie's first mention, check out "'Once, I Built a Railroad.'"
John Lennon, Jordan Peterson, Slavoj Žižek and Ben Shapiro make appearances.

Much love and respect to LA's late wildcat P-22. He was euthanized over the weekend after living with injuries he sustained after he was reportedly hit by a vehicle along with severe health problem. With all the natural spaces dwindling across the city, P-22's mountain lion brothers and sisters are racing against the clock. Such a shame.
We also continue where we left off last week about John Kennedy, as some of the remaining files pertaining to his assassination were declassified. What does it mean that information remains redacted after almost six decades? Does the secrecy help boost the reputation of a president whose star has faded in recent years? Would the release of the remaining documents result in a sigh of relief rather than a "national security" threat? From the standpoints of truth and history, manmade controversies should be deflated.

Not dissimilar from Mars' moons Phobos and Demos, thankfulness and trinkets are the dueling satellites orbiting this time of year. The boys talk about getting around town, Black Friday sales and catching up with absent cohosts. Matt receives an explanation for why he needs to see "Seinfeld," Sebastian asks why people succumb themselves to hoarding while getting financially shanked at any yard sale or eBay auction under the sun, and Ryan delivers a parting note on a positive, community-based use of social media.

The midterms are here and there's some messy California races to mop up. Luckily, our cohosts are not alone. Former publisher and podcaster Stephen Daniels joins the show to talk about several California races, including the 27th Congressional District race between Christy Smith and Rep. Mike "Ponch" Garcia, the 40th Assembly district race between Pilar Schiavo and Assemblywoman Suzette Martinez Valladares, the Los Angeles mayor race, several propositions and the sensational race between Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva and (his successor; bye bye, Alex) Robert Luna.

The boys and upcoming guest Stephen Daniels pay tribute to Kevin Conroy, the man whose voice personified Batman for decades, who passed away late last week. Naturally, the discussion trails off into the alleged hate around "The Dark Knight Returns," the politics of its author Frank Miller and how his politics are portrayed in DKR's third sequel, "The Golden Child."

Welcome to a Halloween trifecta unlike any to come before on "Mars on Life." First, sit down for a crossover with the yet-to-be-launched "The Dark Domain" podcast interviewing subjects for a history on tarot reading. Then, with the little help of our YouTube comrade Seabass, immerse yourself in the haunting story of "La Llorona." Finally, hear Andrew and Ryan review the 1999 Martin Scorsese/Nicolas Cage hidden gem "Bringing Out the Dead."

Diet NIMBY concludes with a travelogue. Ryan and Matt commute across the Santa Clarita Valley to visit locations used in the filming of "Santa Clarita Diet," finding themselves more enlightened by the sights of some stores and buildings while feeling underwhelmed at others used minimally despite other desirable locations more appropriate for whatever the show seemed to go for. Finally, they commune at the Westfield Valencia Town Center to give their final thoughts on the show and, as one of our hosts was upon departure while recording this episode, what parting words they have for a town he's resided in for roughly 20 years.

Mars on Life cohost Sebastian Schug joins the Diet NIMBY team to talk about his experience watching Season One of "Santa Clarita Diet." The concept of identity – within the Santa Clarita Valley and identifying with the quirkiness of the Netflix series – is widely discussed, along with the city's cannabis business moratorium, subjecting one's life to the mundanity of small-town living and the vaguely direct (or directly vague?) references to the actual town prevalent throughout the entire season. At long last, Matt reads his dra-MATT-ic reading of his Daily Bruin review of "Santa Clarita Diet," followed by the most important question we need to ask ourselves: are we judging this show too harshly?
This has been a stressful but rewarding experiment. We have no plans to continue on with Season Two of "Santa Clarita Diet" but fret not. There's one more special Diet NIMBY discussion coming soon.

Time for some actual NIMBYism on full display in the latest episodes of "Santa Clarita Diet" on review here. Following our discussion about the L.A. County Sheriff's Department, we analyze the scrutiny on neighborhood safety easy for one to find in the Santa Clarita Valley. Another SCVism we uncover is the rise of hipsterism circa 2010: was it an unfinished revolution or a failed revolution from the start? There's also some missing digit trauma (indeed), more bad screenwriting to pluck apart and some of the most troupe-y, "Star Trek" style dialogue to ever pop up on this bizarre series.

More SCVisms are abound in this latest installment of Diet NIMBY. Is narcissism synonymous with being a zombie, or is it a basic evolutionary trait? Learn our answers and more as Matt and Ryan talk about Los Angeles Sheriff's Deputy Dan blackmailing Joel, a story note with hints of the famous L.A. County Deputy gangs covered across SoCal media (read Cerise Castle's intrepid reporting about it in KnockLA). Our cohosts also talk about this show's namesake NIMBYism in the San Fernando Valley and its middle class status compared to Santa Clarita's alleged middle class status. Want to be regional? Switch the watermelon eating competition for the famous chili cook-offs. Overthinking about "Santa Clarita Diet" led the guys to sharing their localized writing pen collections, wannabe teenage gangsters and grilling.

Trauma reveals itself as Ryan and Matt review episodes three and four of "Santa Clarita Diet." Abby's status as a SCV high school student goes under the microscope, the quirks of neighborhood safety in an age of Nextdoor is scrutinized, the power of SCV educators like the show's Principal Novak is called into question and our cohosts dive into the show's portrayal of the region's geography. Do not worry, not all of our episodes will keep being this long.*

Welcome to Diet NIMBY. Santa Clarita Valley residents Ryan Mancini and Matt Fernandez provide culturally concise commentary about the 2017 Netflix series "Santa Clarita Diet." This miniseries will take a look at the inside humor within a show based on an expansive, thematically "small" town and where the series converges with the stereotypes, caricatures and idiosyncrasies one can find visiting the region and meeting its people. Ryan and Matt share some of their own experiences, as they will through the next four episodes as they dissect Season One two episodes as a time. Is this a comedy horror? Does the series demand its overwhelmingly positive reviews? Does Timothy Olyphant pull off being a comedic actor? How meta does the series get when addressing SCV's darker open secrets? All will be explained, discussed, exasperated and revealed in this deliberately short-lived series. Beware all ye who enter.

Ryan and Matt are joined by Lisa DeSouza, the director of the Santa Clarita International Film Festival, or SCIFF, a massive event intended to bring artists from far and wide to celebrate and display their work in the fast-growing L.A. suburban town. We talk about the stumbles going into last December's first SCIFF, which Lisa and Matt witnessed firsthand (he wrote about it in a long piece for The SCV Proclaimer), the changes and lack thereof in the Santa Clarita Valley when it comes to change, the arts and the waves of new people coming to express themselves in what has historically been a town marked by white flight, NIMBYism and antipathy towards Los Angeles and Hollywood. Lisa also talks about this year's SCIFF, with the hope it continues to expand and grow its niche within the strata of SCV culture and history. Did we forget to mention Ryan will be a judge at this year's SCIFF?
For anyone interested in volunteering or submitting their work to be showcased during SCIFF, head on over to sciff.org. It will be held from Dec. 8-11 with an opening for comedy and music on Dec. 9 and an award show on Dec. 11.
For Matt's massive story detailing the day-by-day of SCIFF 2021 read it here, while Sebastian's cartoon regarding last year's controversy can be accessed here. To hear our discussion about SCIFF on this show last year, tune in to our Season Two finale "Angel City Threads."

Ever heard of "Santa Clarita Diet"? The Netflix series has the attention of Mars on Life cohosts Ryan Mancini and Matt Fernandez as they analyze and over-analyze this short-lived but popular bite of the streaming age. In short, does the show live up to the standards of the region it is set in and what is its worth in a strange age for TV-land? This spinoff miniseries premieres Oct. 1 as part of our Halloween lineup, be sure to tune in wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts.

Ten episodes later and everyone's joined in. Matt talks about meeting the incredible character actor Deep Roy and beating him at a game of shuffleboard, Andrew shares some major personal news and moving from one part of Boston to the other, and "Mr. Mute" Sebastian talks about his recent trip to Disneyland, encountering the excess of what the park had on sale. This entails the fads and identifiers of enthusiastic fans parading the original park and Galaxy's Edge, including the "hashtag resistance" crowd. This post-2016/Disney-Lucasfilm merger culture developed as a consequence of the new series of "Star Wars" films, which are an inverse of the political inspirations that influenced George Lucas' six-film saga. Our cohosts attempt to answer whether such a virtual movement can inspire a revolution of any kind at home? Ryan's short answer: give it a reason.

Andrew and Sebastian are away, so Matt and Ryan talk about popularizers of science and Carl Sagan's professional successors, Disney's recent film news, the recent chaotic weather (a Tropical Storm in California?). Ryan also talks about his recent trip to Massachusetts seeing and staying with Drew, massive thanks to El Jefe. More to come on that matter. Finally, the boys tease an upcoming podcast-related project dropping in October. Stay tuned but tune in!

Our cohosts conclude recounting their museum trek, segueing into a trip Ryan and Matt took that evening to the Griffith Observatory. Communing with the stars, they explore the premises and philosophize over the immense presence of the city below the Hollywood Hills, from each of their own perspectives. Fun and laughs naturally ensue, including a look at Leonard Nimoy's extended family and the 1986 "Transformers" movie, and impressions of Carl Sagan. Whatever our futures hold, we made it to Mars in more ways than one.

At last, the SoCal-based cohosts made it to the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. This sprawling two-part experience takes listeners through Los Angeles' prehistoric days under the sea, Sebastian's latest interest in Wish.com and what our travelers thought of the promotional "House of the Dragon" exhibit. They were not whelmed. (To be concluded.)

Matt and Ryan talk about their journey to the Magic Castle in Hollywood. At around 28:30, we discuss the main topic: author Salman Rushdie, who in 1989 was sentenced to death by the Ayatollah of Iran on the charge of writing a novel, "The Satanic Verses," was stabbed by a 24-year-old man in western New York. (Since recording, Rushdie was taken off a ventilator and is awake and talking.) What follows is a recounting of Rushdie's life since the death sentence, or fatwa, was issued and a division among our cohosts on the act of pursuing art shielded by free expression.

From talking about business to diving straight into the mayhem, Ryan and Sebastian take things Season 1-style with a long discussion about the pricey nature of driving across Southern California and how debilitating being 20 minutes away from everything is. Our main topic is about a recent L.A. Times piece detailing the New York art scene coming to the west coast – who is this helping if it's a Rolodex of art pieces without purpose?

It's the chortling hour as the guys goof around with the teaser poster for Christopher Nolan's upcoming "Oppenheimer." What a cast, what a budget, but how's the story? We start off, however, on a recent explosion at Hoover Dam and how startling this news is on the heels of Lake Mead's evaporation. Then we talk about the MLB All-Star game at Dodger Stadium and the strike that never was from the concession staff. After some hot dog talk Andrew brings up Kylie Jenner's wee flight from Van Nuys to Camarillo, an act that's calling attention to actions and resulting in accusations that she's a "climate criminal" according to critics and activists. Finally, Sebastian brings up another viral TikTok video where someone responds to a condescending "rejection" email from a potential employer. Could we see more of these in the recession-to-be (or ongoing recession)?

Wide-ranging discussions? Have you heard this show before??
This week, Andrew and Ryan start off talking about the dwindling amount of water in Lake Mead and how this latest heat wave only intensifies the demand to address catastrophic climate change; when talking about deserts, it's easy to guess how "Natural Born Killers" is brought up. Then Sebastian joins them to unravel a viral TikTok video of Costco customers buying rotisserie chickens in bulk. Finally in a circular stream of consciousness, Ryan and Matt evolve the chicken discussion into a fanfare about dinosaurs (expect more of that discussion in a future bonus episode. These guys know their stuff, whether it's the Permian or Triassic Periods or the difference between a Deinonychus and a Utahraptor).

The guys talk about the state of the COVID-19 pandemic, what it means for the show's future and how to tune out from social media in the age of the "omni-crisis." (Producer's note: This conversation occurred prior to the announcement regarding the COVID-19 omicron subvariant BA.5.)

All of our cohosts congregate at last to talk about the state of the show as COVID-19 cases are back on the rise with a transmissible sub variant in the news, instilled by online "Covid FOMO" and every host having experienced the virus firsthand. We start the show with some observations on the Fourth of July and the motherlode of fireworks going off across SoCal – where, in an age of rampant wildfires and climate apocalypse, it's safe to say we should reevaluate how patriotic we are about severe breathing problems from July 5 onwards. Finally, Drew and Ryan breakdown the congressional race in Sebastian's district between incumbent Adam Schiff and Democratic challenger Maebe A. Girl.
Boris Johnson also makes his one and only appearance as a Mars on Life cohost.

Time for another bifurcated discussion on everyone's favorite Jedi Memester. The guys talk about the dismal conclusion to the "Obi-Wan Kenobi" series, the infatuation with entertainment media and its discontents, the act of reviewing entertainment and the religiosity of fandoms – all while Ryan breaks down why this show was a miss for most folks. Do not expect any more "Star Wars" content as we move forward, it's time to let some things go. Speaking of Ryan – he has a website!

Following the news on Roe v. Wade, Drew talks with Ryan about some book recommendations about the conservative movement and how it gave rise to the anti-abortion movement and Justice Clarence Thomas. Ryan also details his favorite of Rick Perlstein's books documenting the conservative movement from Goldwater to Nixon to Reagan, as well as Nina Easton's "Gang of Five."

Airman Sebastian Schug has made the return flight to the podcast to talk about his absence and his time in the United States Air Force. Amidst the catch-up, the guys talk about the news of the year, TikTok, watching older movies and Joker 2 ("this was a setup!"), all the while Ryan had no running water thanks to a sheared hydrant! Finally Ryan and Drew recap on the June 7 California Primary, concluding with a serious rationale behind whether The Proclaimer's continued existence could have played a role in the outcome of Santa Clarita's races (Producer's note: likely not).

Ryan returns from his trip to Ireland and Scotland with tales of awe and terror, met with European culture and American nationalism. (Expect more about the pluses and oddities of the trip in an upcoming bonus episode.) And the airlines did not make anything easier! Ryan shares what traveling hell bookended the trip while immediately unveiling some major news Andrew has yet to hear until this episode. Our cohosts also briefly discuss the ramifications of the devastating news about Roe v. Wade's downfall. Finally, on a lighter note, Ryan catches up with Matt and Shawnee Badger about their stage production of "Barefoot in the Park" in Newhall.

This week's show is a bit smaller as Drew and Ryan discuss the 1994 film "Jackie Brown" by Quentin Tarantino. They talk about why it holds up, why it's under-looked, how its presentation of Los Angeles is far more subtle than other films and why it's a testament to the resilience of 90s cinema. Most importantly, this is Drew's favorite film!

Tired with gas? Don't sweat, we have the remedy for you. We talk about some bizarre, awkward algorithm used by Activision Blizzard in how they incorporate various forms of diversity into their games. Then we reflect on some crazy hotel stories we endured back in the day, respectively. But we start off with some racist paraphernalia that appeared on some Santa Clarita Facebook pages.
Producer's note: This episode was recorded prior to the May 24 shooting in Uvalde, Texas. Listen to the bonus episode prior to this episode to hear our thoughts on the tragic matter.

A longtime colleague and friend of Ryan's, he's also a lifelong SCV resident with a lot to say about growing up there, facing the town's racism while being Filipino in a politically and socially conservative town, the detriments to being a young person in the Santa Clarita Valley and the lack of opportunity to grow professionally and socially, the contrast in working with Variety then The SCV Signal versus The SCV Proclaimer, and how he manages to work wearing several professional hats at once. Yet another episode three seasons in the making, keep an eye out for a surprise regarding the near-term future of the pod.

Andrew and Ryan return with a surplus of topics unleash. Take in the cold open talking about Charles Bukowski, book covers and poetry as the guys discuss restaurants and Covid conditions (shoutout to Don Cuco for staying golden), followed by the crucial California Primary Election coming up June 7. Voter guides are available (and relatively complete) so be sure to fill out your ballots and mail them as soon as you can; but do you need help? KnockLA has an outstanding voter guide that will help all Angelenos and LA County residents as they make their way through their ballots deciding on important races, including Los Angeles mayor, Los Angels County Sheriff and governor. Then there's a flashback to reporting Ryan did in college that reflects some recent accusations made about Donald Trump, who's back in the news thanks to Elon Musk. Finally, Drew played Elden Ring and has some iced tea advice. Make no mistake, it's an important episode that can't be missed.
For help voting in the primary, head to KnockLA's voter guide. The Proclaimer also ran profiles on the candidates running for Congress in District 27 (Ruth Luevanos, Quaye Quartey and Christy Smith) and for Assembly District 40 (Pilar Schiavo and Annie Cho). Finally, read more about what Ryan covered in 2017 as it pertains to former Defense Secretary Mark Esper's comments about Trump wishing to "shoot missiles into Mexico."

Time for the in-depth review of a film Sebastian really needs to see. If the episode title wasn't an indicator, Andrew and Ryan talk at length about the 2019 Netflix horror satire "Velvet Buzzsaw." Listeners well know this film by Ryan's countless references to it, but what is it about the movie that's so relevant? Who's its audience? Why bother with it all? What's the deal with Hoboman?" People in 2019 hated it, but it's arguably ingrained in this show's DNA. Come join us down a road filled with humor, critique, camp, homicide and vengeance. However, we highly encourage you watch "Velvet Buzzsaw" before you listen.
Also, Ryan took a trip for the first time since 2019!

On the thirtieth anniversary of the L.A. Riots, Andrew and Ryan talk about America's standing in the world before the riots, how the riots affected Angelenos and residents in L.A. County, this moment's lack of recognition, consequences (and lack thereof) of the events causing the riots, Stacey Koon's post acquittal life, the riots' relationship with the Watts Rebellion, the politics around Los Angeles at that time and the media that's taken a better effort to remember the riots than most historians and notable Angelenos have, all among many of the topics we traverse. This is not a linear retelling of the history, rather it is a retrospective meant to contextualize what happened and what has happened despite the outcome(s) of the events following April 29, 1992.
The spine informing us in this episode is the National Geographic documentary "LA 92." For a straightforward, footage-driven retelling before, during and after the riots, click the link and give it a watch: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/tv/movies-and-specials/la-92

Lots occurring on Christopher Hitchens' birthday. Andrew and Ryan talk about this week's shooting in a New York City subway, another sad update on America's pandemic of gun violence with a reflection on a mass shooting close to home. Much of the episode focuses on an article by the sports website Yardbarker sharing "The 25 Best Films Set in Los Angeles." How does it stack up, what's missing and what do the guys think of each movie mentioned? It's yet another fun one here on Mars.

Ryan talks about his home's COVID-19 scare and the wider context of the pandemic as of April 2022, while Andrew addresses the latest stage of the Los Angeles mayoral race. Both subjects intertwine when you have two elections down the road and a pandemic not slowing down any time soon.

This week's show is jam-packed with news and more climate talk. We begin with KnockLA's Los Angeles County Sheriffs Candidate forum and the preceding social media chaos followed by news from Ryan regarding his job, accessing a discussion on the journalism industry. As a reprieve, Ryan and his family went to Immersive Frida Kahlo in Hollywood on Sunday. He gives his review on what was a gorgeous experience looking back on the life of an amazing artist and an extraordinary human from history.
Finally, Ryan gives his review and endorsement of Kim Stanley Robinson's "The Ministry For the Future," a science fiction novel providing a convincing account on how the world can handle advancing climate catastrophe. Andrew was sold, we certainly hope you give it a read. The nightmare of our time needs proper addressing, well beyond the IPCC's recent report. (Editor's note: Ryan meant "uninhabitable" at 44:40.)

In a classic stream of consciousness, we begin and end with the Joker. First off we walk around "the Slap" news followed by some big L.A. stories: people are leaving the state (a la the aforementioned exodus) and what does this mean regarding affordable living in the city and state, plus how could play out in a climate catastrophe scenario, and two dudes walked 50 (not 500) miles across Los Angeles – igniting an age old discussion of Ryan and Drew's about what in SoCal still constitutes as the City of Angels. Finally coming full circle, what did we think of Barry Keoghan's Joker?

We return to COVID-19 news after a few weeks, contrasting conditions in Boston versus Los Angeles County. We also go over a variety of topics beginning with our first podcast effort in college, David Bowie, traveling during the pandemic and mask fatigue versus mask anxiety. Today's show primarily looks at the installation of a botanic garden at Dodger Stadium, so expect some "Stealing Home" discourse to pick back up. Finally, Ryan updates listeners on his latest book recommendation, "Confederates in the Attic" by Tony Horwitz.

Amidst Sebastian's sendoff episode, we discuss some personal content news such as overcoming adversity within a chosen profession, transitioning from one profession/hobby to another, personality changes, artistic success, job matching on LinkedIn, gas prices and the age old gatekeeping. Finally we talk about a critical plight affecting America's unemployed and recruiters: the Great Mismatch.

News of Russia's invasion into Ukraine has commanded the news cycle. Rather than sound like armchair generals on Twitter, we offer a sober take on the situation and Sebastian goes off on what we can or cannot do. We also discuss the latest COVID-19 news – bye bye, indoor masking.

Two years, 122 hours, one recession and a pandemic later, we have at long last reached the greatest milestone in our show's short history. Welcome to the 100th episode of "Mars on Life." In this extended, celebratory episode, we look back on how we have improved from our days of making a scrappy podcast at [classified] to reporting from home via Skype, Internet woes aside. We then answer the ONE question sent our way before we look ahead at the rest of Season 3 and what's in store. We're three for three as once again there's new COVID-19 developments to report – a point which Sebastian brings up: besides how much it has changed us for the better, COVID-19 as a two-year-old breaking news story has been a constant in our series' development. (To learn more about that "fourth shot" story Sebastian referenced, head to https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2022/02/22/1029057935/who-might-benefit-from-a-4th-shot-and-who-might-not Today's show not only celebrates 100 episodes and two years on air, but also Sebastian's 24th birthday. As one of the two Greeks on this show, Ryan came bearing gifts. Finally, the birthday boy and Ryan spend the rest of the episode with a strong deal of self-reflection talking about the "Great Resignation," the Great Reshuffle, the atomization of America's middle class and the "labor of love myth." It's a packed show, so come along with us. To pick up the specific works of Hunter S. Thompson mentioned in this episode, head over to Bookshop to pick up The Rum Diary or The Proud Highway.

We conclude all thoughts on the Super Bowl (the Rams won, bleat) before catching up on breaking COVID-19 rules in California and what Disneyland's doing about it. Then we transition into tangible hobbies with those perpetuated by the Big Game itself, namely cryptocurrency, and finally we share our thoughts on a recent article by Luke Savage from Jacobin regarding why NFTs "are, quite simply, bullshit."

Behold "Mars on Life's" entry into 2022. Ryan and Sebastian discuss the latest stage of the pandemic, what it means looking to the months ahead and the unspoken impact in which the Big Game could have on dwindling case numbers. This spins off into people's consumerist identities manifesting despite ongoing global catastrophe, with examples of how individuals spend their money and some shots fired at sports in general. The guys then catch up with each other, Seb discloses his COVID-19 diagnosis while on break and Ryan caves to reading more Rick Perlstein.
We want to thank everyone for continuing to be on this journey with us. 2022 holds countless possibilities for us, but your feedback and support keeps us going. Now strap in and let's get to Mars.

The second season of "Mars on Life" comes to a close. Rather than a drag-out fight over one titanic subject, the guys carry on a series of vignettes touching on the major subjects of this last season and last year. Beginning with Ryan's recent birthday and life during the quarter-life crisis; followed by the muted topic of DMCA claims (remember those episodes??); Sebastian's latest cartoon for The SCV Proclaimer; COVID-19 for the holidays, blended with "patriotism" and lumpen idiocy; NFTs, society's stake in them and those promoted by associates of the 45th president; and the ambition in Season 3 to expand upon voyaging into the City of Angels.
Like a sewing needle, you will also catch the more poignant and dire warnings of Mike Davis from his magnum opus "City of Quartz."

Ten years ago, author and essayist Christopher Hitchens died from complications of esophageal cancer. Ryan and Sebastian take a look at his books and legacy, as well as talk about the conundrum surrounding the development of his unauthorized biography due out next year.

Sit back and relax during the first half of the show as the guys catch up on their week off spending Thanksgiving with loved ones, how work's going, the breaking news on the omicron variant of COVID-19 reaching the Golden State and the overall decline of the American Empire. For the second half, Beatlemaniac Ryan gives his mixed analysis on Peter Jackson's recently released Disney+ documentary, "The Beatles: Get Back."

Ryan and Sebastian are off this week, so here's the full and unedited (for the most part) conversation whittled down to four minutes for KCRW's 24-Hour Radio Race talking about rascally neighbors paranoid about crime in the suburbs and how those obsessions drive the culture of pseudo-vigilantism in a hyper-alienated age of reaction.

We've reached Episode 90. What a milestone. Today's show is pretty fun as we reflect on book reports in elementary through high school. This dovetails into a long discussion on the story, characters, history, illustrations and logic of "The Indian in the Cupboard" series and 1995 film. Finally, we look back to traumatic assigned readings during our formative years and how, while there may have been a reason for us to read such dark tales of human misery at a young age, they were not presented with enough context as to why they were necessary to read from.

Sebastian talks about the latest Netflix sensation, the Korean series "Squid Game," and why you should watch it. We also talk about other new movies, Sebastian's recent viewing of "Twilight" and how it went unscathed from the 2007-2008 Writers Guild of America strike – which transitions into the latest news regarding IATSE's developing plan to strike.
We also dive deep into subtitled entertainment (and encourage more people to watch foreign films and shows), and Ryan provides his final analysis on Greg Grandin's "The End of the Myth" and why it's the most important history book you will ever read.

We (re)give our hot takes on the show, catch listeners up to speed on the current Doctor and evaluate what Davies' return means for the almost-60-year-old science fiction program. "Harry Potter" discourse also graces this episode – you've been warned!

Sleepy? You're not alone. We look back on some goofy comments and requests Ryan received on Instagram, what kept Sebastian awake into the wee hours of the day we recorded and what both of the guys did over the weekend involving America's oldest pastime.
Thanks to the algorithm, the show takes a look at some children's videos made by PragerU to teach the "real history" of Ronald Reagan and how he ended the Cold War. An illogical nightmare, we breakdown the installment of "Leo & Layla's History Adventures" while taking a look at Reagan's baffling appeal according to Rick Perlstein's "Reaganland." We also poke fun at the self-serving nature of making media out of podcasting culture.
Jordan Peterson and Slavoj Žižek return as we close out the show.

L's stay L-ing.
Larry Elder was flattened by California voters despite getting the most votes during the California Recall Election. But we focus our attention on the Met Gala and the messaging behind AOC's dress and Ryan breaks down why the term "progressive" means nothing anymore in politics.

We start off on some personal anecdotes in Hollywood followed by our analysis on British pop culture. The meat of the show is spent looking back on the events of September 11, 2001, a day Ryan still very much remembers despite being at a young age. We look on the ramifications of that day, how society and televised media responded in the following years to it, its historiography when compared to the you've-heard-us-put-it-this-way-but-here-we-are ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, how it pertains to recent history as of the last month (namely, the end of the occupation of Afghanistan) and how we ought to move on from a tragedy we mustn't never forget.

Happy Labor Day, comrades! We continue where we left off, as Ryan takes a stab at the Democratic Socialism Simulator. With a bit of filibustering, will he maintain control of Congress and decrease global carbon emissions while stimulating the middle class to take hold of political power?
We also delve into the the myriad of problems in U.S./Mexico policy that's worse than "open borders," how politics won't be over with the flick of a switch and how democratic socialists need to expand their efforts and not minimizing their attempts at appealing to the masses. Will it win over everyone? Not in today's America. Prepare for more history and explanation as we dive in.

Eighty! After all this time, hooting and hollering about absolutism and the news about Joe Rogan, we find ourselves with a simulator! In this first part playing the Democratic Socialism Simulator by Paulo Pedercini, Seb makes a go at leading the United States as a DemSoc president and making choices based those principles ("I didn't know Mitt Romney was a socialist?"). Will Sebastian maintain control of Congress? Will he see to the end of his tenure as president and win a second term? Find out!
We also look back on our latest voiceover episode, "Planet Micah." Who are we reading as and who are we talking about? Listen to today's show and all the secrets will be revealed. Listen to "Planet Micah" by heading to: https://anchor.fm/mars-on-life-show/episodes/BONUS---Planet-Micah-e1645tc
Part 2 will be just around the corner, where Ryan will take the country down the path to solidarity, for... once.

In this titanic episode, Ryan and Sebastian transition from their Facebook chat (see the previous bonus episode) into a reflection of their high school years. While more is expected in the episodes ahead, they provide a lens on the social aspect of being a teenager in 2010's America and how radically and mediocrely different their respective experiences are compared to what's become so stereotyped by 60 years of postwar teen culture, now met with the hindrances and oddities of where the hosts each grew up.

OnlyFans is back in the headlines, but its actions as of this week may be too little, too late after announcing a ban on sexual content. We discuss technology's hold over the gig economy, the failure of institutions barely holding society up and the dominion that is Facebook. You can see why we don't view the social network in a positive light.

"Cooking is a philosophy, not a recipe." - Marco Pierre White, chef and mentor to Gordon Ramsey
Let's change things up. Seb's old friend and chef Arthur Tovmasyan joins the show to talk about his life and career cooking, a passion that's pushed him to his limits but has also refined his outlook on working in restaurants. He talks about his influences, work culture and advice for those seeking to go down a similar path. We cannot thank Art enough for joining us, expect him to return before the season ends.

Oh, yes. The influencers are back and they've brought an army. Unlike Dumbledore's Army, however, they serve the 46th president's wishes for everyone to get vaccinated. Will this work or is this pre-2022 midterms paranoia kicking in? We discuss this topic, as well as put a pin in our earlier discussions about the "California exodus" regarding a new-ish study about that very subject.

If the last seventeen months are any indication, not all goes according to plan. Sebastian and Ryan salvage this episode with a Bob Dylan-esque stream of consciousness starting on the frivolities of influencers and why they ought to not combine their acts with restaurants, followed by how absolutism in politics outweighs two decades of debating and moralizing that's resulted in stagnation and societal decay. Those failures result in the over-saturation of podcasting, a consequence of the myth of prosperity to emerge out of Manifest Destiny – hear us out, with credit to Matt Christman – and also produces a failure to create art through culture.
Finally Ryan delivers his coda on the vaccine denialism of those he knows and how, despite awareness of what his mother has gone through for 218 days (all of 2021 up until this point), their understanding lacks empathy and leaves their loved ones in a world of suffering were those deniers to die from COVID-19; at this point Delta, Lambda and a third variant from Florida all pose a combined risk to our collective slouch out of the pandemic.

We took a much needed detour on our last episode to cover some old news regarding the state of Texas and its education requirements cutting pivotal moments in American history pertaining to white supremacy (specifically, the KKK) and civil rights (namely, Martin Luther King, Jr.). Though this isn't a full examination or condemnation of our respective educations on history while growing up, we give our understanding from the outside looking in – as products of the California education system – to examine where Texas is getting it wrong by essentially white-washing crucial points in the history of this country. The title of this bonus episode comes as the perfect answer by a great Simi Valley activist to this bizarre attempt at "owning the libs."

This week's show concludes the avenue of American political and historical quizzes with The Campaign Trail, another free online interactive quiz where players can strategically campaign for the American presidency – and maybe win? It's not an exact science, as playing as the historically losing candidates may assure defeat while playing as the historical winners...also assures defeat. Well worth checking out, we recommend playing it and choosing which pivotal election you think you can win (watch out for Hubert Humphrey).
But we start the show with the dark cloud that's hung over this podcast since Season 1: coronavirus and, more specifically, the ongoing quagmire that is vaccinating an ignorant American public. Ryan gives his account of dealing with some local idiocy and how little difference there is to having empathy with those he's lost who were unable to get vaccinated while Sebastian "Absolutist" Schug attempts to grasp this person's idiocy.
Think you can play as Stephen Douglas or Henry Wallace by winning a presidential election? May the odds ever be in your favor and play The Campaign Trail at https://www.americanhistoryusa.com/campaign-trail/.

We take another crack at an interactive episode with yet another quiz. This time it's the ISideWith quiz, where we discover which political parties and popular American politicians we are deemed to most agree with – some of it may surprise you, other comparisons likely won't. Either way, we had more fun tackling it as counterfactuals, (fun) predictions, historical trivia and personal anecdotes ensue. It's the show you know, you know? Stay tuned for a teaser to our next interactive quiz next week.
(It's been a manic week so we goof on some of our information: Ryan confuses Anwar al-Awlaki for Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and Sebastian says Biden's been president for two years already – COME ON, MAN!)
Keep an eye out for appearances by John C. Reilly, Richard Nixon, Caitlyn Jenner and previous "Mars on Life" guest Heather Friedman.

Filmmaker Amanda Sinks returns to Mars to talk about her latest film project, tentatively called "Delivery," and brought her cinematographer Alex Raaen along to talk about the 80's filmmaking styles that heavily inspired the shoot. As Amanda's previously put it, "It’s a short film about a local delivery pizza guy who is tested for his courage of love. This story is a part of a bigger story world. But for now this story will warm your heart, and make you have a laugh or two." We discuss the filmmaking process, the hard work behind the scenes and how Santa Clarita inspired much of what's in the film. We're so excited to see the finished product, as indicative of our chat about 80's cinema by filmmakers like Spielberg, Hughes and Carpenter.
We close the episode talking about some news regarding the sight of a Confederate battle flag during a GOP-held July 4th vehicle parade in Santa Clarita and how it came to yelling at a recent city council meeting.

Mars on Life brings its next interactive episode as we each take the Political Compass quiz. There's plenty of commentary along the way, plus Ryan gives countless book and film recommendations. We also leave off on some explaining in regards to democratic and libertarian socialism, and how much they differ from Stalinism, the cherry-picked communism utilized by strongmen and what 20th century education on communism got wrong. More to come, we assure you.

If you can read that, you're on the path of illumination... or mediocrity, as we take a close look at the filmography of Christopher Nolan. Inspired (incepted?) by our dear friend and returning guest Andrew Martinez, we analyze his latest film "Tenet" and how it stacks up compared to a classic like Inception or a solid set of films like "The Dark Knight" trilogy, even his smaller films such as "Insomnia" and "The Prestige." While listeners will learn about Ryan's cheese grater phobia, they will also understand the differences between how Ryan and Sebastian critique movies (should be well understood at this point, after 70 episodes). Finally, Drew gives his take on what it's like being back in L.A. from Boston – short take: too many crowds and boo to gentrification.

We have another packed one this week, as we stream through topic to topic. We start off on the grueling triple-digit heat ravaging the west, compare and contrast mask regulations in California and Colorado (where Seb's reporting), then we have a laugh at the latest shenanigans in conservative media: Alex Jones, Dennis Prager, Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson and Michael Knowles all go unscathed as we dissect PragerU's "Otto's Tales." This gave us the opportunity for a "Mars on Life" first, taking PragerU's "The Best Book to Read to Your Kids" quiz and reminding all of our listeners that morality precedes religious faith and is not a byproduct of it.
Finally, we delve into the elusive YouTube edgelord Vaush and talk some lib soc, "The Rebel" and Albert Camus.

*From ACT UP founder and AIDS activist Larry Kramer: "I was trying to make people united and angry. I was known as the angriest man in the world, mainly because I discovered that anger got you further than being nice. And when we started to break through in the media, I was better TV than someone who was nice."
We unravel the Fauci email story and come to the conclusion that while his correspondence does not live up (naturally) to the scrutiny it's received by conservative media, the idol worship of Dr. Anthony Fauci is tone-deaf to history and remains a lingering spectacle of the "resistance" mentality on display since the first Trump campaign in 2015. In discussing Fauci's past, we acknowledge the tough criticism he's received in the past, the flippant criticism he's received in the present and how future criticism could impact both American politics and Chinese-American relations in the years to come.
We also reminisce on living off the grid in seclusion Hunter S. Thompson-style, as well as recommend listeners to check out the latest essay collection by one of the great novelists of the twentieth century, Sir Salman Rushdie.

Mass surveillance has wrought a destabilized world. This takes us to Citizen, an app many Americans are using though its evolution has raised some alarms. We also diverge into legal "Star Wars" commentary, the appetites of the Second Amendment crowd, some Michael Flynn news, breaking Kenneth Frank James Berry news and, finally, "Joker 2" – is it happening and what should it be about? Find out and listen to what we think.
Check out the story we talk about regarding Citizen: https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/citizen-public-safety-app-pushing-surveillance-boundaries-rcna1058

Looking for a jam-packed episode? You're in luck, for this week we recognize the legacy of children's author Eric Carle, followed by more vaccine talk, some "Doctor Who" talk, an announcement from our dear Sebastian, Season 3 talk, Pokémon card scalpers talk, collectors talk, COVID-19 lab talk and more Amway talk. As you know, there's more than just talk on a show like ours.

We on Mars on Life have a consistent record shattering the "get rich quick" myths which peers from our respective generations have fallen for. While there has been some generalization and some pointed critiques when pressing guests on the show, today's show provides an in-depth take from one of our own resisting attempted recruitment from one of the most blatant pyramid schemes in the history of American business: Amway. We then close off today's show with a PSA on getting vaccinated: take it from us, get vaxxed.
Check out some of the stock market YouTubers Seb mentioned in this episode: Always Marco, James Jani, Coffeezilla and Graham Stephan. Also check out the book Ryan recommended, "Work Won't Love You Back: Devotion To Our Jobs Keep Us Exploited, Exhausted and Alone" by Sarah Jaffe, on Bookshop.org.

The joke police convict Saturday Night Live for reaching its lowest point in the show's history with the help of everyone's favorite genius Elon Musk. The guys also talk about California's shrinking population ("I was in the pool!!"), lingering NFT talk, congressional redistricting and military service.

The New York Times? Correct, and friend of the show Genise Sherrill appeared in it! Genise returns to talk about her recent appearance in NYT as well as the latest developments with her show "The Jumpoff." The horns go a-tooting as we talk about recognition for content as well as Genise's journey since first meeting photographer Damon Casarez to the day she say herself among a dozen fellow artists and content creators. Thank you again to Genise, always a delight and an education having you on. Those crossovers will be lit.
Afterwards, the guys talk more about NFTs, the Gates divorce, Elon Musk on SNL and Sebastian wakes up Jake with Seb's new toy.

With the flip of a Colorado state quarter from 1999, Sebastian goes first to talk about the world of NFTs (non-fungible tokens) and its home within the realm of cryptocurrency – run away – and what ramifications NFTs may have for the world of art, IPs and corporate-owned media. The episode concludes with Ryan's final take and summary of Mike Davis' "Ecology of Fear."

We went overtime talking about "Ecology of Fear" last week, so we left our final topic to its own special bonus episode. Sebastian reads from and Ryan reacts to a hilarious op-ed in LA Taco by Alexander Hancock titled "Nine Types of L.A. Drivers That Make L.A. One of the World's Worst Cities to Drive In," with artwork by illustrator and friend of the show Tommy Gallegos.

The verdict is indeed in. The guys talk about the result of the Derek Chauvin trial, the justice served to George Floyd and the contrasting discourse on the tragic death of Ma'Khia Bryant, as well as an update on the current state of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Much of today's show will focus on Ryan's reading of "Ecology of Fear: Los Angeles and the Imagination of Disaster" and author Mike Davis' chapter titled "The Case For Letting Malibu Burn."

"Yeah the South Bay, it's... I don't know what the hell's going on."
Journalist, podcaster and friend of the show Kenneth Berry returns to conclude on where Andrew and Pete left off on the state of journalism, adding further context to the power of journalistic gatekeepers (namely publishers), the lack of resources journalists have to pursue the kinds of stories they want to report, bad advice given to younger journalists ready to work and how those reporters learn to garner trust on the job. The guys also cover PragerU's children's history program (gulp) and Glenn Greenwald tweeting at interns.
In the episode's prelude, the guys share good news related to the pandemic – Sebastian's COVID-free and Ryan received his first dose!

A conversation focused on the unmanageable crises in Los Angeles County – and the state as a whole – leads to another tangent of doom and gloom (and hope?...Nah). We also take note of the recent dislocation efforts by the LAPD upon the homeless community at Echo Park last week, and how that will only be exacerbated by the 2028 Olympics.

Mentor and friend of the show Pete D. Camarillo returns to drops some facts and leave some laughs. The guys continue last week's discussion with Andrew about journalists, influencers and marketability. From there, it offshoots into a wider tangent about social media’s influence on journalism and vice versa, along with TMZ-style ethics, online echo chambers, Clubhouse, crisis communication and public relations.

Journalist Andrew Martinez, at last, joins the pod to talk about his career starting as a student reporter at Cal State Northridge's The Sundial newspaper (where he became Ryan's first boss) and how it took him across the country to continue his career. Now based in Boston at Bisnow, he talks about the state of the industry now while also looking back to the monumental stories that shaped him and prepared him for the work ahead.
We are incredibly thankful to have Andrew join the show. We cannot wait to have him back.

We go on a side tangent to look back on our time in junior high reading the classics, what was required reading and what was not. For the last half of the show, we share our apprehension at life as lockdowns are lifted followed by a slow vaccination process and how people will respond, and where we look forward to visiting in Los Angeles once we're closer to a normal society.

One year ago on this day, we launched our voyage to Mars with this podcast. All these episodes later and we're still going to talk about "American Dirt."
Of course we also celebrate Sebastian's 23rd birthday and give a shoutout to Kenny Berry's 29nth, as well as sending our love and support to Joel del Campo and Nadia Garcia for their respective podcasts. We look back on episode 1, get some insight on the commemorative Mars donuts following the landing of our fellow resident, NASA's Perseverance rover, talk about some new paraphernalia Seb received in the mail and, finally, the latest DMCA/Twitch developments involving Metallica.

The guys give their final thoughts about the Jan. 6 attack on the US Capitol building. We want to move on from what happened, but we want to be clear these aren't our total views on what happened that day. We have room for disagreement, as made clear on the preferred way to define it (insurrection but not a coup, for example).

Mars on Life, 2021 style.
Sebastian and Ryan return to put to rest (for now) their discussion on Senator Thom Tillis' actions on copyright law and DMCA going into the new year. While it gave people a fright in December, it doesn't appear to be at the detriment of honest content creators trying to make a living. But the guys talk about their time off, with Sebastian focusing his attention to his own content and making executive decisions towards it while Ryan gets serious about a loss due to the pandemic, which this week claimed a total 400,000 Americans since it began last year.

Journalism. The industry remains in a decade-long state of constant disaster, beginning prior to the pandemic. In response to Sebastian's critique in our latest bonus episode, Ryan provides his 12 rebuttals on why the industry continues to go into decline, how it functions and what is being done to usurp the established order; he also added his defense for schlock (it's not as Tommy Wiseau as you think). It only gets worse as news about a recent Digital Millennium Copyright Act adjustment, with thanks to Sen. Thomas Tillis (R-NC), can totally shatter the world of content creation as we know it. Cramming this into an omnibus bill is cowardly; you are making us laugh, Mr. Tillis.
We will be going on a brief hiatus for the next month working on our own media projects, respectively and together, which we will delve into in Season 2. Don't fret, the journey to Mars will begin again soon enough.
To hear how this discussion started, check out the last bonus episode of Season 1.

As we land the show back to the City of Angels, Ryan discusses with Sebastian about three movies released over the past decade that effectively display the underbellies of Los Angeles' law enforcement (2012's "End of Watch"), local media (2014's "Nightcrawler") and art community (2019's "Velvet Buzzsaw"), all of which star native Angeleno Jake Gyllenhaal. While playing three radically different characters, Gyllenhaal's performances reflect their own sides of the city which anyone from SoCal can probably find as familiar in such a widespread metropolis. The city itself provides its own character, portraying a backdrop that traps, seduces and even destroys those defying its allure.
There were some audio problems on Ryan's end (that's what happens when several people are hoarding the WiFi), but we hope our message regarding these three films made it through. Check them all out.

Almost without hesitation, we give our 11-minute tangent about Spotify Wrapped and people's obsessions with it. Oy vey.
Now onto today's episode:
- We scrutinize the thought process behind and reaction to "Music," a vanity project by the musician Sia. This film (based on the trailer) about a young woman with autism on the outset feels rather stereotypical and quite tropey. Sia also pulled a Hollywood and did not cast an actress who has autism, and her retorts on Twitter to autistic actors is appalling. Her response to criticism is so Trumpian that it sours what is potentially one of the last film trailers, in a year with so few films, in an otherwise detestable year.
- Elliot Page came out as trans/non-binary. We express our deepest happiness and support for him, and condemn crusading attempts by misguided men and women about what is "masculine."
- Finally, Ryan gives his latest book recommendation: "Stealing Home: Los Angeles, the Dodgers, and the Lives Caught in Between," Eric Nusbaum's account about the various gatekeepers and everyday people left at the mercy of the times, politics and racial economic inequality in mid-20th century LA. Notable individuals like Jackie Robinson, Duke Snider, Norman Chandler, Councilmembers Edward Roybal and Rosalind Wyman, Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, and countless others intersect with the lives of men and women like Abrana Aréchiga and Frank Wilkinson who fought back against an already overflowing city. Check it out.

This week, we take a more self-reflective tone as we weave through the history and content of Seabass, Sebastian's YouTube channel. Throughout his videos, one can find various creepypastas, urban legends set in Disneyland or Chuck E. Cheese, as well as short films characterizing generational personas that run rampant in our society. We also delve into our love for some of Cartoon Network's shows, which Sebastian has incorporated into his work, and we even reflect on our first attempt at a podcast (of sorts), called "Comparative Politics: The Rhetoric of Film, Literature, and Your Opinion."
Click the attached links for Doomer, Bloomer, Zoomer and Boomer. To watch our first attempt at a podcast, check out Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3.

Connery... Sir Sean Connery. This week, we take a look at the career of the first actor to don the tux and Walther PPK as Agent 007 aka James Bond. We look at Connery's impact on the character and how much he influenced future Bond actors. We also discuss his various roles, including in "Highlander," "The Untouchables," "The Hunt For Red October," and how his "Murder on the Orient Express" co-star Albert Finney not only paid some tribute to Connery in "Skyfall" but also how Finney relates to "Mars on Life's" own Ryan Mancini.
Naturally, we delve into one of his definitive roles as Professor Henry Jones Sr. in "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade." As Sebastian and Ryan have shared before, this movie has a powerful message for them and its addition in the franchise makes it one of the true cinematic GOATs.
This one's for you, Leonard.

Sebastian is here to chew bubble gum and kick ass... and he's all out of bubble gum. In the climactic finale to our final analysis, we steamroll the outcome of the election as we enter a rinse/dry/repeat period nearly identical to the results of the 2008 Presidential Election. While we hope we've made our frustrations clear, the point must be made: history is in the process of repeating itself, even in these uncertain times. For the last half hour, we discuss with Genise the impact of Kanye West's electoral odds and where that puts the American people in a populist era. We also give our respects to Alex Trebek, the legendary host of "Jeopardy!".
We also buried the lede: Trump lost lol.

Results have slowly rolled in, and the tea leaves for the 2020 Election overall look positively bleak. We discuss, dissect, criticize and pontificate on perhaps the wildest election since 2000 (or 1876?).
Ben Shapiro, Nate Silver, Jordan Peterson and Slavoj Žižek also make pre-show appearances.

In this 10-minute* round-up, our election panel shares their thoughts on several local races in California to pay attention to:
- The Los Angeles City Council's David Ryu is up for reelection. However, the CD4 member is being challenged by activist and DSA member Nithya Raman, a campaign widely endorsed by progressive groups in SoCal. Ryu's slandered her hard work and is backed by that choke of a loser, Hillary Clinton.
- Kameron Chase Neal is currently running to be a progressive member of Simi Valley's Calleguas Municipal Water District Board. He aims to work more with local groups to encourage more sustainability and education on water conservation. He's also Ryann's cousin!
- As discussed before on the show, the Santa Clarita City Council has several candidates eyeing two seats, including that of Mayor Cameron Smyth and a vacancy to be left by soon-to-be-retired and self-admitted proud racist Bob Kellar. While there are several candidates running to take their seats, local progressives and Democrats have their eyes on veteran candidates Chris Werthe and Kelvin Driscoll.
- Some way, somehow, somewhere, Alliance Party candidate and businessman Rocky De La Fuente tapped Kanye...[checks notes]...West to be his running mate.
Before we wrap up, we also take note of liberals' incessant attitude toward icons and heroes like RBG while politicos people actually like, specifically Sen. Bernie Sanders, are busting their hump for Joe Biden on the campaign trail and are still facing criticism only because they are more left than the Democrats want them to be.
*Ryan said 10 minutes, but this is over 22 minutes. C'est la vie.

Forty episodes later, here we are. "Mars on Life" takes one last swing at the 2020 Election, taking a deep dive into what's at stake and what's worth getting worked up over. Our outstanding panel helped us on this fantastic voyage. ASL teacher and fellow Matador Ryann Perkins joins returning guests Genise Sherrill and Steven Elias as they deliver their thoughts on the election, while Sebastian and Ryan give their final diagnoses at the end of the episode.

The episode you've (really we've) been waiting for. "Mars on Life" crosses over with the podcasting masters of "Touchdowns & Tangents," the first place you probably heard about our show. The prelude to the show goes over this final phase of the 2020 Presidential Election (of which Ryan is TDTs' political correspondent) and a tease for next week's election episodes and panel. Finally we talked with them about their show, its inception, how they have adjusted covering sports despite the pandemic and the place of sports in the midst of a pandemic, a failed government response and privilege of athletes not taking coronavirus seriously. Tune in to their show for the full unedited extravaganza. Barack Obama and Stewie Griffin also make appearances.

Journalist, illustrator and friend of the show Thomas Gallegos returns to bring some cultural context to living in quarantine with a solid list of films to watch, "Outbreak," "Contagion," "2001: A Space Odyssey," and the original "Dawn of the Dead"; Ryan suggests another modern classic, the 2016 Toho film "Shin Godzilla." Not only do they cover the apocalyptic element we've seen this year, but also the societal, racial and political ramifications caused by such any crisis. In the same context, Sebastian returns with Tommy on the subject of "The Last of Us Part II."
In case you can hear a pupper early in the episode, that's Sebastian and Heather's new dog Jake. And he's a very good boy.

Voice actor, writer and podcaster Andrew Roos joined the Mars crew for a laughingly good time talking about his talent as an impressionist, growing up in SoCal and developing his skills, eventually leading to his work on podcasts including "Chort N Chitty." As Ryan predicted, the flood gates didn't stand a chance with the impressions that ensue...
Bane, Adam Sandler and Boomhauer from "King of the Hill," among others, also make appearances.
There may be some audio issues, that's something we hope to fix in the episodes ahead.

Kamala Harris and Vice President Mike Pence held their own in the VP debate, while Sebastian engages with Xavier on the world of stocks and trades and clearing the blurred line between being a Timothy Sykes and being a Grant Cardone.

Musician and indomitable comrade Steven Elias joins Mars as we give our exasperated take on the first presidential debate of the 2020 Election. Rather than conduct an autopsy on this universally-denounced "sh*tshow," we look at it with a lens based on the aesthetics of the debate. We also spoke with Steven about his music, his band and the Orel Foundation. We recorded this episode before the president's Covid-19 diagnosis early Friday morning.

As mentioned at the start of the show, you can now rep our show's beautiful artwork "Happy Mars" on whatever merch you like from RedBubble.

Sebastian received a note from a "get rich quick" kind of guy, resulting in this discussion on how this mentality has become the scourge of our society and has levied responsibility off the backs of all those gullible enough to fall for it. It must pay when the chief example of this dopey thinking rests with the biggest trust fund baby in the country, also known as our commander-in-chief.

The political discussion from our recent bonus episode intensifies as Ryan and Seb talk about politics and its involvement with artists and activists and how it diverges into a type of reverse-reactionism seen among liberals. The guys also cover their earliest political involvement in high school and how they fought back against monotony and sameness among their peers when speaking their thoughts on political matters. It won't be one to miss.
NOTE: We did say last week that this episode would start our "guest-a-palooza." Given some last minute changes, that will start next week.

This "Mars on Life" compendium of thought by host Sebastian Schug expresses an embedded wish to turn off. It's not quite as sanctimonious as you think when you consider the weight of history and how we manipulate ourselves to care through monotonous apps and social media (taking TikTok a tick). All the same, the national focus is categorically off the rails and Sebastian sweeps through.

Sebastian and Ryan take a breather ahead of a few full months before the season's final episodes. They kick back and share their final words on "The Rise of Skywalker," feelings about political humor and streaming. Shows like "Doctor Who" and "Mozart In the Jungle" are discussed, tying together the purpose left in television series while they last.
To see Sebastian's recent films, click here for "Doomer" and here for "Bloomer." To access his YouTube page, visit https://www.youtube.com/c/Seabassofficial/featured.

Previously titled "The One Where Schugzy Loses It," we discuss the anointing of Sen. Kamala Harris as former VP Joe Biden's running mate... ok? Cool? We guess? Does it matter? We engage on the matter and how it might stack up with the president's chances.
We also return to the topic of "Hamilton" and its wanton usage by liberals as a crux in their drive to "resist" the current administration, placing their support for Biden and now Harris alongside their "admiration" for Washington (slave owner), Hamilton (capitalist) and Jefferson (p3@#!*&^%). Get ready for an exasperated history lesson.
Also, SELTZER!

Sebastian and Ryan are joined by a legend in political cartooning. Thomas Gallegos journeys to Mars to talk about his career in journalism, beginning at Cal State Northridge's The Sundial and ultimately leading to a brief tenure at LA Weekly amidst new ownership and standing up to the face of media corporatism and the ills in which the president has plagued society, culminating in his work at LA Taco. We also discuss life in quarantine and the inequities of freelance journalism. The Sundial lineage remains strong.

Ryan and Heather release stress over the Karens and anti-maskers who have dominated the "culture wars" in the grim dystopian era of 2020. From Facebook trolls to eugenics-toting dullards, discourse has come a long way since Vidal v. Buckley.
We also send our heartfelt wishes to the families of Grant Imahara, Joanna Cole and Michael Brooks. Rest proud.

The boys on Mars talk with student, photographer and filmmaker Amanda Sinks about racism in the city of Santa Clarita, which has seen a rise in protests and calls for action demanding the resignation of one of its council members who once referred to himself as a "proud racist" at an anti-immigrant rally in 2010. She talks with us about current and former students at the local high schools anonymously sharing their stories about dealing with bigotry and violence, and about her documentary which will compile filmed testimonials to be given to the city as a call for help, inclusivity and stamping out bigotry in a city famously aimed to be "family-friendly."
Listeners who grew up or live in the Santa Clarita Valley and want to provide their own testimonial or help produce and/or promote Amanda's documentary can reach out to her at filmqueenproductions@gmail.com.

A wild week of news culminates in a classic film review, then the craft of art restoration and its place among monuments to a racist past (bye bye, Junipero).

They say podcasts don't last this long...
We're back and for this special occasion we muse over the minutiae of our time, including our vast territory with unspecified "lack of space," graduations, stock market cultists, narcissism caused by capitalism, protestors without the facts on their side, keyboard activism, #blackouttuesday and the use of very poor history.

This week's episode provides context for the hysteria and misinformation passed around amid the Black Lives Matter protests continuing across the nation. As the riots have rescinded, community artwork reminiscent of the art following the Watts Rebellion or the AIDS quilt, respectively, has appeared from coast to coast, but is it enough for rooting out systemic racism in government?

And just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water...Los Angeles County and much of the United States has foregone stay-at-home orders to reawaken the economy, win some reelections and prepare everything for the Fourth of July. Phase 3 of reopenings began and cases are already beginning to skyrocket state to state.

In this "Mars on Life" outtake, Sebastian shares some news one of his professors gave him ahead of graduation about one of his finals. Ryan and special guest Mauricio Romo also get a taste of proper White House-official grammar in a thank you letter to Sebastian from the President of the United States.

Undeterred by coronavirus, millions of Americans took their anger to the streets all across the country. With riot gear and tear gas in their path, they marched to challenge systemic racism and those in support of it (the president included). The deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and so many of our black brothers and sisters have not gone unnoticed and we stand with all those who have taken to the streets. Los Angeles began to see rioting not seen since the 1992 riots, and pressure from lawmakers and law enforcement increase. Since then, we have seen larger, peaceful protests across the southland.
To talk about their experience covering the protests or standing among those who call for change, we were joined by freelance journalist Sean Thomas out of DTLA, freelance journalist and astrologist Crystal Duan and laborer/demonstrator Mike Beck.

As Elton John once said, it's lonely out in space. Mars is looking a lot better than Earth right about now. Ryan and Sebastian do some housecleaning to talk about some recent news regarding recent passings, including those personally affecting friends of the show, and they soberly acknowledge the coronavirus death toll (which while it hit 100,000 as of recording, it has now jumped to 101,000 as of publishing) and how legacy media addressed it.
This episode recaps some of the LA Times' recent stories analogizing the current crisis and the state of denial in defense of capitalism to the aforementioned blundering Mayor of Amity in "Jaws"... as the tagline of "Jaws 2" says, "Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water." The guys then dive into the culture around self-help gurus and the misplaced trust people have in what can easily be deemed as a secular religion.
To check out the two LA Times stories Ryan referred to, go to https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2020-04-06/coronavirus-trump-response-jaws-mayor and to https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2020-05-20/with-coronavirus-pretending-everything-is-okay-wont-make-it-so

It was 40 years ago today, Irvin Kershner got the band to play; they were never out of style and at least three of them will raise a smile. While the guys put "Star Wars" behind them, it required an assisted revisit to one of the greatest sequels and one of the greatest films of all time, which celebrates 40 years of entertaining, frightening and enlightening viewers the world over. In their quest at what makes "The Empire Strikes Back" a film for the ages, the guys called in the cavalry. "Star Wars" fan and friend of the show Mauricio Romo gives his take on this classic.
Credit where credit is due, the guys acknowledge the 15th anniversary of the release of "Revenge of the Sith" as well and find parallels with it and its Sith parent. Strap yourselves in, we're making the jump to lightspeed.

Imagine, if you will, a parallel Earth. On this planet, humanity is subjected to the safety standards of their local leaders issued in retaliation to a plague that has circumnavigated the globe. In this discussion, Tommy Vercetti (Ryan Mancini) and Nicolas M. Parker (Sebastian Schug) share their thoughts on the hypothesis that their society has divided into two individuals from the filmography of Steven Spielberg. One of which is the stuttering, suave and svelte chaotician Dr. Ian Malcolm (created by the late Michael Crichton) and the bombastic, bumbling and burly mayor of Amity, Larry Vaughan (created by the late Peter Benchley). Only in such a world can rationality and irrationality coincide while human life changes itself forever. Only can such a frightening representation of humanity be found in the Corona Zone.

Ryan saved Sebastian from his finals-related woes and the two talk about their experience (or lack thereof) going to Amoeba Hollywood, which recently announced shutting down its current location. Though it is expected to have a new location in the fall, it's still the tragic passing of an LA landmark. The guys also shared their views on people in isolation engaging in "plague entertainment" – watching films like "Outbreak" and "Contagion" or reading Camus' "The Plague" and Roth's "Nemesis" – while in isolation. It can't get worse, right?

Stay away from the bleach and aim for the spice! Ryan and Sebastian talk about the ramblings of a madman (also known as the President of the United States announcing his administration will "look into" injecting bleach and inserting ultraviolet light under the skin, respectively, to rid the human body of coronavirus), as well as the (un)employment fiasco connected to the pandemic and forced quarantine. Ryan follows up with an explanation on the saga of "Dune" by Frank Herbert, one of the greatest science fiction works of all time and a precursor to "Star Wars" (you know what that means?!). Finally, Seb and Ryan recite readings from their high school yearbooks for the sake of absurdity. WORMSIGN!

For now, this about wraps up the "what IS art" discussion for Mars on Life.
While we hope you subscribed and left us a review, we also hope you have the chance to help out artists at this time.

There are those in which help needs to come sooner than a tracker or benefits page can offer.

Ten! Finally, Ryan and Sebastian begin the discussion at the heart of the show: what is art, exactly? They have their views, but the cavalry has joined the discourse. Actress and Cal State Northridge Theatre student (and Seb's gf) Heather Friedman joins the guys on a voyage from experience to propaganda to education to the fabric of the arts. Stay seated and enjoy the discussion.

Much like film production companies, book publishers are expected to lose a great deal of money due to the pandemic. But was this something that could have been resolved beforehand or was this a monstrosity in the making? Just when you thought "American Dirt" was the end of it – Ryan and Sebastian take opposing sides as the creator and consumer of books.
As a show about the arts, we want to voice our support for artists by referring them to artistrelief.org, where artists in severe need of financial assistance can apply for a $5,000 grant. Head over there and seek the help you need.

The Mars on Life podcast welcomes its first guest: actor, activist and community leader Shawnee Badger. The guys ask Shawnee about her career in performing, both in theatre and at Disneyland (pre-COVID-19), her involvement with political organizations in LA and Santa Clarita, and what young people need to do in the face of isolation and extreme socioeconomic inequality in the fallout of this pandemic. Before show's end, expect a return appearance of Al Pacino...you don't want to miss this new installment.

If you're a visual artist, we hope you filled out your survey for the Los Angeles Artist Census. On today's show, Ryan and Sebastian talk about the census' purpose and how the pandemic will impact the artists for whom the survey was intended for. Along with closures in public spaces like museums and art galleries, the fate of the film and movie theater industries hangs thin in an uncertain future; just think, no certainty about new movies premiering and no more theaters to go to. It reads like fantasy, but no one seems to know what tomorrow will bring. If there's something you can do, it's to support local artists and the content creators in your life. Your help is what they need right now.

Still isolated? Still under quarantine?? No problem! Put the cookie down and check out the guys' take on Ryan's top five favorite movies of 2019. In this segment, there's a great deal to dissect. Number one holds severe societal importance and (without giving it away) wants you to smile and put on a happy face. Did that give it away? Nonetheless, you're in for a topical take.

A first – Skype on Mars! Under self-isolation, Ryan and Sebastian talk about life under coronavirus and the economic fallout it's bound to cause. To keep spirits up as countless art mediums are closed down, shut off or cut off from human contact, the guys rundown Ryan's top 10 films of 2019. Not only are they intended to be recommended viewing in general but these films are accessible viewing while under quarantine. Please enjoy them and be safe! Films 5-1 will be featured in Part 2.

Prior to the apocalypse, Sebastian and Ryan delivered an endnote to their "Star Wars" discussion before transitioning on the murals by the Tlacolulokos Collective at the Museum of Latin American Art and how essential they are for Angelenos. The other major topic they dissect is on the claim that California residents are leaving en masse and Seb asks Ryan if he thinks that might affect the arts in some capacity. The hope is everything is back to normal by episode 10, but as Yoda once said, "Always in motion is the future."

Prepare for a dive. The boys talk about the musical acts at Bernie Sanders' campaign rally in DTLA, then onto "Project Luminous." After that, Ryan takes Sebastian on a journey of the "Star Wars" universe, including divulging spoilers from "Rise of Skywalker." There's plenty of talk on the prequels, sequels, Expanded Universe, Legends and current canon, along with the over-saturation of content. The "Star Wars" episode was always intended to be a long one. Buckle up and enjoy.

In our debut episode, we talk about a potpourri of topics that help map out what you can expect from the show. We also talk a little bit about the "American Dirt" controversy and the publishing industry as a whole.
