Feel that itch, that strange rash that seems to be pulsing in weird ways? Don't worry, it's just the new flesh finding fertile soil. By the end of this journey we'll all be beautiful flesh flowers. We're doing a Cronenjourney, starting with Videodrome and the philosophy of Marshall Mcluhan.

Okay, sorry we're a bit late on this loop, I promise next loop we'll be back on track and hopefully we can manage for the next several hundred loops. We discuss The Endless and how it relates to Nietzsche's conception of eternal return. As mentioned at the beginning, The Endless is actually the second movie in a series, I didn't realize that until too late, but I also think you're better off watch...

Honestly, after 2.5 hours of this movie I was hoping the awakening really would happen and suck me into the middle of the planet. We discuss the cold mess that is Eternals and what this means for using planets as a means to an end.

We are such stuff as griefs are made on, and our little play is rounded with some swelling music. We're discussing the rest of Station Eleven, and what it says about our relationship to the past.

To crib Hamlet or not to crib Hamlet, that is the question. Whether tis nobler in the shownotes to suffer the satires and absurdness of a tortured soliloquy, or by jumping to the links end them. We're covering the glorious station 11 and for part one we're talking about philosophy of theater.

Through the magic of podcasting, we string together a series of movies that are actually 20 years apart. Is this an emotional return or a soulless cash grab or a confused mess of grief.   Content: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Matrix_Resurrections   Editing by Luisa Lyons, check out her amazing podcast Filmed Live Musicals: http://www.filmedlivemusicals.com/   Support us at Patreon: h t t p s...

It seems that in any world, no matter the number of eyes, Jason Momoa is king. We watched Apple TV's See and had a good look see at what it says about the social model of disability and the potential limits of that model.  Content: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/See_(TV_series) Aaron's atheism workshop: https://evergreen.humanitru.com/web/campaigns/the-innerwork-center ~winter-spring-2022?attend=id...

Secure your gas-masks and your racial privilege, we're taking a look at one of the earliest pieces of proto-Afrofuturism, Du Bois's short story The Comet, from his book Darkwater: voices from within the veil.

In keeping with the genre, the first half of this episode is just fighting noises and then the second half is philosophical monologues. We go all galaxy brained and there's a bit of shading into Matrix Three.   Matrix Reloaded: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Matrix_Reloaded   Editing by Luisa Lyons, check out her amazing podcast Filmed Live Musicals: http://www.filmedlivemusicals.com/   Support...

Just like we bridge the gap between movies, we must bridge the gap between the meat and machine. For both, we turn to the Animatrix, some of the best animated sci-fi there is. We cover several of the episodes and a couple issues around the alignment problem and awakening.   Animatrix: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0328832/   Editing by Luisa Lyons, check out her amazing podcast Filmed Live Musicals...

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuune. Part One! We go into the deep desert and discuss the decolonial dream. What do we owe the Fremen?

Now I'm gonna assume that you've both done the math and have achieved complete cultural literacy so you'll both know what's coming and get all the references.

I'm just gonna assume you've already done the math and knew what sort of meta commentary I would put here, so I'll save us both the trouble. We're discussing longtermism, but I guess your magic math also told you that.

Let's imagine your current identity was actually perfectly programmed to love every part of this podcast. Would that really be a bad thing? We're all having fun here watching a totally not creepy show about programming people to be exactly what we need them to be, plus they also have asthma. We try to figure out where the immorality is in all of this.   Content: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dollh...

Hey friend, how you feeling? Want a juice box? You hit your head pretty hard. Why don't you just rest and listen to this podcast that in no way relates to your experience and think about how great it is that you don't live under a maximally exploitative capitalism. Isn't life great?   Content: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1182345/   The Brutality of American Capitalism: https://www.nytimes.com/int...

Here comes the heel turn where we use the pod to get you to turn on humanity and embrace our new desiccated overlords. Once again we're joined by Matt Browne of Decoding the Gurus to help fine tune our guru messaging so everyone gets onboard. To destabilize your worldview and make you vulnerable to our plan, we discuss the problem of induction and why your belief about the future isn't actually ra...

Turns out this whole podcast is just an elaborate interactive game to soften the ground for our philosophical overlords. Now that you've all accepted your inevitable lives in a box of some sort, we can pass the time till they arrive by discussing Maoism and communist environmentalism.   Content: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Three-Body_Problem_(novel)   Decoding the Gurus: https://decoding-the...

Come on my rag tag crew! According to this old map I found, our journey down the rabbit hole of racist conspiracism is about to bring us to the place where it all started. Disney! I mean, Atlantis! An ancient civilization that seems super cool as long you don't think at all about who else thinks it's super cool and why. We discuss why Atlantis fits so well into a regressive conservative philosophy...

There is no podcast. Even if there is a podcast, nothing can be known about it.

We're just a couple of podcast variants, hanging out in this armageddon of a timeline to avoid getting pruned by some time fash. While we're hiding out, might as well discuss Loki and why multiverse authoritarianism is perhaps bad and also not really feasible.   Content: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loki_(TV_series)   Editing by Luisa Lyons, check out her amazing podcast Filmed Live Musicals: htt...
