On this episode, Josh discusses a fascinating experiment Carl Sagan convinced NASA to perform... a study to find life on earth! Then Brett discovers his latent lust for grid-based game while discussing The NY Times game which became a post-covid phenomenon despite its unlikely origin story. We're talking about the daily word puzzle game: Wordle.

On this episode, Brett helps himself to another serving of an obscure and old-timey aviation world record that somehow stands to this day, 64 years ago! No word on what happened to the poop. Then Josh fills eagerly awaiting earholes with a passionate diatribe about the unclassifiable musical mavericks who take genre-blending to heavenly heights. This isn't your grandmother's alt-rock group. (Or maybe it is?) This episode is all about the introspective and boundary-pushing band: twenty one pilots.

On this episode, Josh pokes fun at his favorite two-dimensional conspiracy theory and the colorful community who advocates for it against all odds and logic... yes, he's talking about flat-earthers. (He also tries to convince everyone Brett is a flat-earther which is wildly untrue and outlandish! How dare he!) Brett then plunges us into the chilling personal narratives of a dystopian war that feels eerily plausible, particularly in a world still reeling from the Covid era. This isn't your run-of-the-mill zombie fiction, it's the gripping, end-times narrative of World War Z. (If it was not already clear, we're dissecting the BOOK here, not its less-than-stellar cinematic counterpart.)

On this episode, Brett tells the story of the first ever modern parachute jump in history. André-Jacques Garnerin is a man few have heard of but is basically the parachuting pioneer for ever skydiver in history. Then Josh deep dives into an emotionally-wrenching but incredibly thought-provoking and action packed science fiction in the apparently sci-fi peak year of 2009. This is a Neil Blomkamp directorial debut (and also a debut for star Sharlto Copley who gives in incredible performance) that you don't want to miss if you love complicated protagonists, scary South African gangs and terrifyingly evil mega-corporations. We are talking about the apartheid alien epic: District 9.

On this episode, Josh stumbles onto a reddit poll asking scientists what experiments that would do if morals and ethics were thrown out the window. Some ideas were surprisingly uncreative and others were predictably horrific. This is humanity we are talking about after all. That got Josh thinking about all the real life unethical experiments that must have actually occurred (and why do there always involve testicles?) Then Brett (and a special guest star???) sink their teeth into an absurd mockumentary style comedy series birthed from the undead brains of some wickedly funny New Zealand vampires: What We Do In The Shadows.

On this episode, Brett talks about the fascinating story of Nasubi, a man trapped naked in a windowless apartment with nothing available except the few items he won through mail-in sweepstakes. All in the name of Japanese reality TV! Then Josh brings up an old favorite movie of ours but pivots to recommend a bit of a network television sequel. Josh's candle burns bright on this Content Clearinghouse recommendation of the TV show: Limitless.

On this episode, Josh talks about the popularity of Batman and why the character (and somehow even the Penguin!) transcends the comic medium from which it originated. Then Brett talks about a lesser-known but incredibly unique Prime Original series with a non-linear timeline, a mixture of live action, animation and rotoscoping and of featuring none other than Bob Odenkirk. I knew Josh would get hooked with some Odenkirk. It's time for Season one of the adult animated psychological comedy drama television series (wow that's a mouth full): Undone.

On this episode, Brett tells his story of personally seeing an unidentified aerial phenomenon from the cockpit on a work flight. Was it space debris burning up or something more... strange? Then Josh entertains and terrifies listernerologists with the lore of the possessed victims and the book which releases said evil spirits, the Deadites and Necronomicon respectively. This classic franchise has been "requeled" into the gripping and excellent horror duology: Evil Dead 2013 and Evil Dead Rise.

On this episode, Josh discusses the single most fatal accident in skydiving history. Let's just say we're grateful the sports is much safer with modern technology and better planning! Then Brett gets a hit of nostalgia while discussing one of his favorite childhood shows and why it does his favorite superhero justice, in the animated series: Batman Beyond.
