Fallacious Trump

Jim and Mark use the insane ramblings of a tiny-handed narcissist to explain logical fallacies. Each episode we focus on a single logical fallacy and, using examples from Trump, UK politics and pop culture, explore how and why it fools people, how to avoid committing it yourself, and how to counter it in an argument.

    New Year Bonus - Me You Madness

    Happy 2025! As a special New Year treat, here's part two of our breakdown of Louise Linton's comedy (?) thriller (?), Me You Madness - a film made by someone with far too much money and far too little talent. It's part scholarly film theory analysis, part snarky nitpicking, part exasperated diatribe. We did this for our Patrons a couple of years ago. Part one went out on Christmas Day, so check that out first if you haven't already! We're sorry/you're welcome.
