In this episode we discuss why we love stories and why we think they're important to us as a species. We answer questions like: 

Why do you think stories have such profound impact on us? 

Do you feel like stories impact you on that level, or do you feel more like an observer, not being changed by the stories you intake?

and we talk about books, shows, and movies that have changed our way of thinking and how we felt about a specific subject.

In this episode we discuss whether Stranger Things has become bigger than the show itself. We give our general thoughts on all the seasons, and then answer questions such as:

is it more than a show now?

is it an identity to some people?

what makes it such a cultural moment?

at what point did the quality not matter as much?

we then discuss the "power of Stranger Things" and how it has the ability to change someones life or career overnight.

creativite outlets play a big role in each of our lives, and they are essential to being a happy, healthy person. along with the most obvious ones, creative outlets can also look like: graphic design, music, visual art, writing, creating events / spaces, woodworking, home projects, interior design, crafts (jewelry making, creating home products, etc), lawn work / landscaping, mixology, and so much more!

a 2010 American Journal of Public Health study found:

doing something you enjoy lowers blood pressure, stress, and BMI

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2804629/

Arts therapy has been recognized as a profession since 1991, and creative outlets can provide a "break" from mental fixation on negative things (a comment a co-worker made, family issues, etc). You're able to express feelings that are hard to put into words.

we dive into one of each of our creative passions or projects, those being: writing/playing music, writing stories and scripts, and making a podcast! we answer questions about them like:

what do you personally "gain" from it?

is the hard work of culling through ideas and toiling on them worth it? (it's not always easy or "fun")

what are some things it has taught you?

do they change with the seasons of our lives?

do you have to do the creative thing for a living?

what does getting your identity from your creative pursuits look like? is that healthy?

A movie can be bad for a lot of reasons, but what makes a hilariously bad movie? What is the difference between a boring bad movie (all the money in the world) and a bad movie that is still entertaining? 

Wrap up:e movies get a bigger presence online nowadays thanks to things like Rifftrax and Red Letter Media?

We discuss movies like The Room, Spiderman 3, the Star Wars prequels, Birdemic, Moonfall, 15:17 to Paris, and Last of the Mohicans. 

Does the experience of a funny bad movie make it better? (Who you see it with/making fun of it together) any specific memories about an experience like this?

In this episode we'll talk about all things Halo Infinite! From its delays, to its E3 debut, to its eventual surprise release, we'll be unpacking our initial reactions and how we feel the game is right now.  This is the first Halo game that is supposed to be a "live service" and we'll talk about how 343 is handling that, as well as the multiplayer part of the game with our good friend Gabe from TheWannabeCritic! 

The current state of the multiplayer: desync issues, ranking system convoluted, no new maps, BP not living up to the hype, etc leave a lot to be desired... and we definitely talk about that.  The campaign has a lot going for it: "open world" style for the first time, spartan upgrade system, engaging combat mechanics... but the problem is its $60 on its own now. Is that worth it?

Wes and Jake chose to talk about history within the parameters of "American History", so everything we'll talk about will be within that timeframe.  The first section is Should The Past Influence Us In The Future? where we answer questions such as:  How has the world changed from the beginning of our parameter to the present? What are some landmark moments within our parameters? How have those changes and landmarks influenced our present day (positive and negative)? Should those things influence our future, why or why not?  The second section is Does You Own Personal Past Influence Your Present and Future? where we discuss questions like:  Do our own individual pasts/history influence our present and future or are we always making spontaneous decisions based only on current stimuli? Would you say that your past has mostly positively influenced you now or negatively influenced you now? Is this exercise adaptable or applicable to the bigger discussion of our history as an entire race? The third section is How reliable is our History? and we discuss who and what you can believe nowadays.  and we end the episode with a fun lightning-round history questionnaire. thanks for listening, watch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmyDf4ZP_nOMa75J5WNSTqA

this started as “why do comedies suck now?” Mainly thinking of Judd Apatow style broad comedies, but we thought it’d be more interesting to compare the quality of comedy movies to comedy tv shows.

Do we think comedy is just harder to do well because people have so many different senses of humor? If so, do the current movie trends just not match up with our tastes?

Do we feel like there’s been a decrease in the quality of comedy films? What kinds of comedies do we feel like are terrible/why? Also has the number of comedies decreased?

Does comedy naturally work better on tv? Why or why not?

comedies we've enjoyed lately: Death of Stalin, Licorice Pizza, Free Guy, Nobody, The Fatman, JoJo Rabbit, Lady Bird, Spiderman: No Way Home, The Nice Guys

all-time favorites: Hot Rod, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Scott Pilgrim VS the World, Napoleon Dynamite, Anchorman, Walk Hard, The Big Lebowski, Super Troopers, Corneto Trilogy

We just got out of the theater and are excited to talk about The Batman! We start with a spoiler-free section and give ample warning before we start talking with spoilers. 

Matt Reeve's take is super interesting and different from any other Batman portrayal thus far, and it was a fun watch... but not all of us agreed on it when we walked out of the theater.

In our final episode of our The Office series, we talk about s9 and how we think it wrapped up the show as a whole. Its story arcs helped guide us to where the characters needed to go, and we also discussed whether we think they incorporated the real-world documentary elements well. 

to discuss the show overall, we answer questions such as: how has The Office shaped your sense of humor? What does the office get right that so many shows that try to mimic its style get wrong? What is the best Jim & Dwight prank? What’s the 1 thing that makes the office different to you? Who is the most well developed character? Who is the best minor character? and more!

In this episode of our ongoing The Office series, we talk about season 8 and all of its story arcs and plot points! We talk about, Robert California's character and dynamic, Andy as manager, Angela's marriage to the (state) senator, Pam's 2nd child (peepa), and the Florida team. We also have a section called THE CASE FOR ROBERT CALIFORNIA because his character gets a lot of flack and we're not sure why. 

Season 8 proves to be a very big turning point for a lot of characters as well. We chat about Andy turning into a motivated manager, Dwight getting humbled and learning how to lead people, and Jim finding a drive and desire that ISN'T just Pam for the first time.

in this episode we talk about how Apple operated under Steve Jobs and how they currently operate under Tim Cook.

Under Steve Jobs it seemed like Apple was a design / creative company that happened to make technology... taking risks, creating products that made you think "how had no one thought of this?!" and working hard to make products easy for the consumer.

Under Tim Cook it seems like Apple is... a well-run business.

We talk about how Steve seemed to keep competition inward focused, pushing hard for Apple to eventually make their current products obsolete; and how that ultimately created some great technology in the process.

Along those lines, it seems like interest in the newest iPhone (the 13) is the lowest in recent years, so we talk about that and discuss what Apple's latest "technological breakthrough" was.

thanks for listening! watch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmyDf4ZP_nOMa75J5WNSTqA

Piper Sandler survey shows considerable lack of interest in iPhone 13

1,000 Americans - 6% planned to buy the 13 this fall and winter (10% in 2020)

movies and shows based on books have a bad reputation... and for good reason. What makes a good adaptation? Does it have to be super faithful to the book to be good? Does the source material change how accurate the adaptations should be? Is there anything in an adaptation that universally makes it a bad adaptation? discussed in this episode: LOTR, There Will Be Blood, The Godfather, Ender's Game, The Hobbit, Blade Runner, Game of Thrones, Fahrenheit 451, Ready Player 1, The Social Network, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Arrival, Dune, and more!  watch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPkxi97BZMY

In today's episode we talk about commercials! The bane of our television lives could actually be a good thing...

we talk about the history of commercials and also discuss whether they could be useful storytelling tools, especially in the television setting. the streaming environment changed out intake of commercials (putting them on YouTube videos, before podcasts, etc) but that isn't ALWAYS a bad thing. 

we briefly discuss how and why commercials, for the most part, nowadays are ridiculous and terrible. and we also talk about our favorite and most memorable commercials of all time.

Multiverses are becoming huge right now. Spiderverse, Rick and Morty, now the MCU has multiverses because of Loki. Comic books have always done multiple realities. Is this a good direction for story telling to go in? Is it a clever idea? Multiverse - a theoretical reality that includes a possibly infinite number of parallel universes Examples: Rick and Morty The Man in the High Castle Stranger Things Fringe Dark Community Star Trek (numerous episodes of various series and movies) Donnie Darko Into the Spider-verse The Cloverfield Paradox The Twilight Zone

Some of these shows we might like or enjoy somewhat, and some of them handle the idea of parallel realities well. we talk a bit about them For the most part, are they shortcuts in storytelling to try to blow a viewer’s mind or get really trippy? Does it even blow anyones mind anymore because it has now been done so much?

In our group of friends, we always talk about 2006 being potentially the greatest year in music. So many great albums were all released in this year.

Do we think it is objectively an incredible year or are we biased because we were growing up at this time?

Here’s the list we compiled of albums to mention. There were many more popular artists that released albums this year (The Who, The Strokes, Willie Nelson, Morrissey, Bruce Springsteen, Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, and of course High School Musical 1) but we might not be fans of their music or the album wasn’t necessarily one of their most notable.

Mutemath - Mutemath

Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not

The Sword - Age of Winters

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Show Your Bones

The Flaming Lips - At War with the Mystics

The Black Angels - Passover

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Stadium Arcadium

The Raconteurs - Broken Boy Soldiers

Angels and Airwaves - We Don’t Need to Whisper

Muse - Black Holes and Revelations

Thom Yorke - The Eraser

Audioslave - Revelations

The Mars Volta - Amputechture

The Fratellis - Costello Music

The Black Keys - Magic Potion

John Mayer - Continuum

The Killers - Sam’s Town

My Chemical Romance - The Black Parade

+44 - When Your Heart Stops Beating

Tenacious D - The Pick of Destiny

T.I. - KING

Ghostface Killa - Fishscale

Lupe Fiasco - Food & Liquor

Amy Winehouse - Back to Black

Pearl Jam - Pearl Jam

The Format - Dog Problems

AFI - Decemberunderground

Cute is What We Aim For - The Same Old Blood Rush With a New Touch (there’s a class for this, curse of curves)

Sufjan Stevens - The Avalanche

HelloGoodbye - Zombies Aliens Vampires Dinosaurs

Birdman & Lil Wayne - Like Father, Like Son (stuntin like my daddy)

Akon - Konvicted

Brand New - The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me

The thing that makes this year so insane is that its not just a bunch of great artists releasing music, but its a bunch of great artists releasing arguably the best album of their career. (Mayer, AVA, RHCP, MCR, Muse, Arctic Monkeys)

Jake mentioned he feels like it might be gearing up to be a similar year this year in terms of huge names releasing albums.

If you haven't heard yet already: comedian, writer, actor, director Bo Burnham put out a new... something. We had a good chat about it and answer questions such as:

is Bo "acting" out real emotion?  is "acting" emotion the same thing as actually feeling emotion?

is putting constraints on ourselves for our work good or bad?

Is it a comedy special, a documentary, a musical, performance art?

We also talk about how Make Happy, his last comedy special, changed our opinions on him and our initial impressions while watching Inside for the first time.

We talk about Bo's evolution as a songwriter and which songs from this special were our favorites. And also how being able to dissect a piece of art is a sign of quality.

we have all had those conversations where, out of the blue, you'll be asked if you've seen the hottest new box office hit. maybe you haven't had time, maybe it doesn't interest you, maybe you're tired of all 6329 of the Fast & Furious movies... but for whatever reason you say "no, I haven't" and all of a sudden the person's eyes light up with rage and they breathe fire as they shout "YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THAT?!?!?!??!????!!" 

we talk a bit about our movie blindspots and why the aggressive  "YOU'VE NEVER SEEN THAT?!!" needs to die.

Do award shows matter? Do we watch them or not? We discuss these questions and also briefly talk about the golden globes noms/winners, as well as the Oscar 2020 nominations. Do awards themselves matter in any way? Do we feel like the best movie of the year is usually nominated at least? How often, in our opinion, does the academy get it “right”?  we also talk about how award shows themselves have become more of a meme generator than anything else recently. do we feel like the goal of the academy is to actually pick the best in each category or is it more politically motivated?  articles mentioned by Payton: https://www.cartoonbrew.com/award-season-focus/definitive-proof-that-academy-voters-are-ignorant-about-animation-96680.html https://www.cartoonbrew.com/award-season-focus/proof-that-oscar-voters-are-clueless-about-animation-109456.html thanks for listening!

We pick up where we left of last week, starting with Bob Lazar and whether or not there are aliens at Area 51. Alex brings up the idea that perhaps "aliens" as we know them could be demonic spirits, citing Aleister Crowley and his portrait of 'Lam'. That conversation led to how intelligent life could perhaps impact the Christian theology and our personal faith.  If intelligent alien life exists, would they be 'made in the image of God' as well? would they be 'human' if they resembled us? did God populate other planets? are dolphins saved?
