We're a trio again this week on the Epoch, as Joe takes a sabbatical for rest. As frigid temperatures take hold of the southern US, and widescale power outages rip through Texas, the Democrats fail, again, to impeach Trump, and altogether forget about the stimulus. Proving once again, no matter which side of the aisle, the Unite States government is an institution of, for, and comprised of elites...

Welcome to a short preview for the first episode of The Epoch of Incredulity's Movie Club. In our inaugural episode, we examine the 2015 experimental drama, Knight of Cups , written and directed by Terrence Malick.

The wolf is on the prowl on this week's Epoch. And why not? The vaccine roll out sucks. The stimulus still sucks. The minimum wage sucks. The Super Bowl sucked. 5 to 9 sucks. Trump sucks. The Democrats trying to impeach Trump, again, suck. Neera Tanden sucks. Nazis suck. Having Heroes sucks. And finally, the existential dread of Climate Change sucks. But at least, despite all things, Vietnam is do...

This week's Epoch is full of chaos energy. From stonks, to the minimum wage, to Marjorie Taylor Greene and Tuberville, we're off the leash. Is the COVID "relief" package still bad? Yes! Should you pick a side in the great posting war of neckbeard vs. Wall St? No! Did Jeff Bezos step down as head of Amazon so he could take a move active role in union busting? Probably! But, most important of all, w...

"Biden is president and nothing is different." Recorded the day before the inauguration of Joe Biden, we at the Epoch discuss our feelings and expectations for the next four years. Will Kamala become Madam Cop Vice President? Does Joe even know what's going on? What is the Chairman of the Budget Committee? Is there any hope in the two party system? (answer: no.) We ponder these questions, plus the...

On January 6th, 2021, would-be insurgents rushed the Capitol building in Washington DC in an attempt to disrupt the electoral confirmation of Joe Biden's victory. With goals as lofty as overturning the Government in a coup, many of the participates of this supposed Putsch milled about, took selfies with cops, and shat in Nancy Pelosi's garbage. This week on the Epoch, we mostly make fun of them. E...

Editor's note: Scott's review of City Hall (2020) was a little choppy on the recording, and some had to be put cut, for the full review, visit: https://letterboxd.com/deathmullet/film/city-hall-2020/ After his two week absence, Joe returns and we go wild on this Epoch. In the news, we open with our usual displeasure with Charlie Baker, discuss the victory of the Roe act, the still underwhelming an...

Where to even begin with this one. On this week's Epoch, Jesse, LE, and Scott are flying Joe-less. We open with Mayor Pete's newly appointed role as transportation secretary, Scott unloads on the so-called "Jimmy Dore Plan," and the liberal tendency to seek retribution in the place of justice. Jesse examines conspiracy theories throughout the political spectrum, and later, the fracturing of the le...
