The Worst of All Possible Worlds
The first and only podcast bringing you weekly case studies in the pop culture of a dying empire. Every Wednesday, co-hosts Josh, Brian, and A.J. dissect an artifact of popular culture, breaking down how its narrative choices reflect or subvert the reactionary political project. From video games to movies to theater to an apparently infinite supply of evangelical Christian radio drama, we expose the machinations of the worst of all possible worlds in order to figure out how to build a better one. Also, we have bits.
The Best of All Possible Podcasts?
Nov 1
I was hooked within the first hour of the first episode I listened to. The hosts have amazing rapport with each other and they always seem to find ways to bring the guests into it. The media commentary is top notch no cheap Cinema Sins shots here. As someone who was raised secular Whit’s Endless Summer has been a trip. Deep dives into the conservative Christian ideology underpinning the show juxtaposed with legitimate good character moments is extremely entertaining and the boys are deft at moving between the two. There are no ad reads in this podcast which is always a plus! They do have a very reasonable patreon which I highly recommend.

Only one Lord’s Prayer? Anglican demons are made from paper maché apparently. Excellent podcast.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit

“I don’t let you hit because you’re Goofy. I let you hit because you’re Roger.” Also loved the Cyberpunk episode, the Neuromancer episode, just everything, including these frequent trips into Christian family programming. Absolutely wild stuff. Great fun, terrific guests, fascinating interpolations of political economy and historical materialism to examine culture. Good to have an archive for the art of the dying empire.
