    039 - Phil Tippett, The Mad God.

    Absent the rest of the gang, Michelle and Jake decide to chew on the mind of a very singular artist who has released a very singular film. Join them as they discuss the documentary Phil Tippet: Mad Dreams and Monsters as well as Tippett's magnum opus, Mad God. Special effects and stop-motion prodigy, Tippett has touched an extraordinary number of culturally influential films. He spent the last 30 years working on and off on his personal film. In the vein of our episode regarding Aaron Fechter, Pig Iron presents a deep dive into the work and influence of an artist who has devoted his life to doing things his own way.   Intro riff selected from "The Mouthwash Years" by Couch Slut.

    037 - Cleaning house, literally.

    Cleaning up your home is a decidedly DIY endeavor: that shit usually doesn't happen unless you do it! We talk dos, don'ts and favorites in the interest of reminding ourselves that it is nice to live in a clean environment and that no one else wants to smell your stank. It is not actually a philosophy it's just basic manners.  Intro riff selected from "The Mouthwash Years" by Couch Slut.

    035 - Game Night(s), the gathering.

    The gamers three return this week: Michelle, Jake and Ruben are alone and discussing everyone's favorite socially planned activity: Game Night. Is throwing a game night "DIY" you might ask? By the end of this episode there may be an answer. Plus, Ruben shares how to weed out the social butterflies and Jake will tell you how learning the card game Magic: The Gathering can make you into an a*****e. Welcome back, everyone! We love you.  Intro riff selected from "The Mouthwash Years" by Couch Slut. Interstitial music selected from "Workinonit" by J Dilla. @pigironpodcast or pigironpodcast@gmail.com to get in touch.

    034 - Credit Cards, a guide by Lucy.

    What's all this then? Absent Eliza, the gang brings our newest inductee to the forefront to talk a bit about what you, The Individual, can do to get some value out of our horrendous economic system. Lucy breaks down the realities of leaving money on the table when it comes to using credit cards, why having five of them can actually get you More Money, and how to avoid going too far down the reddit credit card hole.  Intro riff selected from "The Mouthwash Years" by Couch Slut.
