episode 64: time is a flat circle

what was old  is new again. josh and aly discuss two films:  network (1979) and good night and good luck (2005). josh talks some news and the tiktok ban, and aly does a brief history lesson on mccarthyism.

turns out theyve always been lying to us, ghosts 🫤 propaganda and thought killing cliches are tools of fascism. have a healthy skepticism.
