That Thing With James

I thought I was just going to make a joke review of the new Space Jam sequel. Instead, I stumbled upon something big. Really big. I may have found a hidden meaning in Space Jam. It will shock you to your bitter core. Cartoon Commies.

My old college buddy Bryan brings four different whiskeys for me and him to taste. We're not whiskey drinkers... I get a little sloppy. Bryan reminds me of embarrassing stories from my youth. And I get to see Bryan become a rapping pirate. (We continue the conversation in the bonus episode.)

As the title suggests, I hate-watched the 2019 film "Cats". I hate the play. I hated the movie. And this is my review.

It's been four months, but we're back! In this episode, Emily and I tell the story of how we lost our home to the Texas Winter Storm of 2021, went essentially homeless for three months, and...well...this is just part one. Stick around, because the story becomes even more preposterous. Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/ThatThingWithJames Instagram & Twitter: @jamesjasher Reddit: r/ThatT...

I recorded this episode the day before the disastrous winter storm in Texas...where I live. So, many of the things I talked about near the top of the show have ended up being rather ironic, in retrospect... The rest of the episode is about Heart of Darkness, Poe, House of Leaves, Kubrick, and Eraserhead. Enjoy. Help support this show by becoming a patron: https://www.patreon.com/ThatThingWithJames...

In this episode: I finish up my argument on how a person can be an easy target for whack conspiracy theories when they lack the tools necessary (i.e. critical material analysis) to understand why their life is shitty. I also read one of my favorite MLK speeches, regarding how racism is an invention created by the ruling class, for the express purpose of maintaining hegemonic power. Help support th...

In this episode: I try to answer a friend's question about QAnon. Emphasis on the word "try"... My neighbors decided to make multiple unexpected guest appearances. Aural appearances, that is...

In this episode: I have a great conversation with my old friend, and rising Twitch star, espresso_depresso93.

I didn't realize, until just now, that the Coen bros didn't make the "The Men Who Stare at Goats". That aside, that's what this episode is about — the actual program that the book and subsequent film is about.

In this episode: I do a dramatic reading of the most masterful story you will ever hear. It's so beautiful, you may want to not live anymore after hearing it, because you will have experienced the most beautiful thing ever.
