Completely Unestablished

SPOOKY SEASON NEVER DIES!!! We had to take last weekend off in order to properly celebrate the spookiest day of the year but we end the horror introspectives on a great note... GREEN ROOM. One of the best horror movies no one ever saw. 

Spooky Season 2022 Episode 3 (kind of). In this episode Casey, Kev, Dev, and Upo discuss the insanity that is Titane (ti·tan). Upon watching none of them really considers Titane to be a horror movie but there is definitely enough for you to sink your teeth into. Beautifully acted and utterly bizarre this is possibly the best of spooky season 2022.

SPOOKY SEASON episode 2!! Casey, Kevin, and Upo sit down to cover MAD GOD.  We may have bent the elbow a little much and the result id this one getting away from us just a tad bit. In this "our most demonic podcast" we speak heavily on religion and manage to work in The Tower of Babel, capitalism, torture, and strange tangent about which loved one we'd save in weird if/then scenario...

Happy Spooky Season from Completely Unestablished! We are kicking off October with an introspective on Black Phone! As usual there are tangents galore! Casey, Dev, and Upo somehow mix in the DC sniper, Japanese baseball pitchers, the BBC show Luther, and basement décor (specifically rugs). 

This is a short, impromptu episode that Dev pitched as we were sitting around a bonfire at a BBQ.  Us living up to our name we just set up and asked anyone who wanted to hop on and talk to go for it. Obviously with this being a bbq there is quite a lot of background noise but we’ll decide to call it atmosphere.

Casey, Dev, and Upo sit down to discuss the timey wimey madness that is Primer and the dark implications of time travel.

Season 3 is here! In this episode you can listen to 3 straight dudes talk about Roe V Wade, the myth of multitasking, Drake's "Honestly, Nevermind", and Kendrick's "Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers". 

In the final episode of season two Dev, Casey, and Upo are joined by Shem Orona and Derek Garcia. They comprehensively cover all that 2021 threw at us; from the political landscape to Verzuz they cover it all.

All of the patron saints of Completely Unestablished are present for Kev's last episode (at least for some time). Kev, Dev, Casey, and Upo sit down to simply shoot the shit about Kev's departure from, as Casey would put it, "the black hole that is Richmond".

Spooky season: 3. Dev, Casey, and Upo sit down to discuss It Follows! We had no business having as many laughs as we did while discussing this indie horror flick. Not sure if this episode qualifies to have a trigger warning but just in case... here it is. Enjoy!

Spooky season continues... Dev joins Casey and Upo to discuss "The House of the Devil". Of course Casey's pick for October ended up being an obscure/supremely paced horror flick that no one has ever heard of. Spoilers... duh.

IT'S SPOOKY SEASON!!! Casey and Upo sit down to discuss Wes Craven's seminal (at least in our opinion) classic... SCREAM! This one hit all of the nostalgia marks. From Blockbuster Video to classic video games and the negative symbolism behind wrap around porches we cover all things 90's.

The regulars are back! In this lost episode Kev, Casey, and Upo get into awards in reference to art, social issues surrounding houseless-ness, and not-so urban legends started by Casey's family (explicit in nature). 

This week Casey and Upo are joined by Malik Banks (multi-disciplined artist). They talked about fast fashion vs high fashion, fine arts, food quality, and much more.

Casey and Upo sit down to discuss The Green Knight. For the first non-throwback introspective they cover the central themes of the film and how it contrasts the source material. 

Casey and Upo are joined by Kev to sit down and talk at length about Denis Villeneuve's first English language film... PRISONERS. With themes like ethics, morals, and religion along with excellent performances from Gyllenhaal, Jackman, Howard, and the ever mystical Paul Dano this movie is not short on talking points. 

This week Kevin, Dev, Casey and Upo discuss creative conviction vs creative fluidity, the issues of converting hobbies into money making opportunities, and the time Casey didn't let Travis Scott into his gig. 

This week Casey, Kevin, and Upo get into Oscar snubbs, trauma and it's link to creative genius (or lack thereof), and the life cycle of crustaceans. 

This bonus episode is a consequence of us setting up to record and not getting down to brass tacks for quite some time. To boil it down Kevin, Casey, and Upo discuss non-high concept movies that they appreciate. 

In this episode Casey, Kev, and Upo talk about a little bit of everything. From the untimely passing of the late DMX to the second amendment to cancel culture, nothing seems to be off limits for episode 1 of this season.

In the season one finale Casey and Upo speak about the utter madness that was 2020 and what creative projects are to come in 2021.

The finale of the TRUE DECTECTIVE INTROSPECITIVE is here! Casey and Upo sit down to discuss (arguably) the best written television characters of all time one last time. Just like the final episode of the season it is bittersweet but leaves you feeling hopeful for the future. 

This week Kevin, Casey, and Upo rattle off some hot takes that have been on their minds lately. They get into the cultural impact of Tupac/Biggie, virtue signaling, Toy Story, and much more. If you're still listening at this point... this one might make you rage quit.

While breaking down the 7th episode of True Detective Season 1 Casey and Upo talk about "Rural Mardi Gras", living in the past, the horrors of "the tape", Scottie Pippen, and the small moments that shine through the spectacle. 

This week Upo sits down with Kevin and V to talk about nothing and everything. The topics at hand include the case study that is Kanye West, the inherent value of luxury goods, intelligent rats, and angsty existential nonsense like what they want to be remembered for.
