No niche for us -- we can't be contained. Kristina does the research, Marc tells the jokes, and together they discuss a variety of topics intelligently but with so many laughs. It is kind of like being at a party when the small talk stops and the real conversations begin.

    Episode 154: Audience, Fandom, Fans, and Anti-Fans Part 2

    The second episode in a multi-episode arc about fandom. Here we are looking at the uses and gratifications model and how the four key elements play out (very superficially) in the Willverse. We also bring our firsthand experience from other fandoms to the discussion. Please follow us on social media. @kristinagenx, @marceatspeach, and @xtemporaneous2 on Twitter.

    Episode 153; Audience, Fandom, Fans, and Anti-Fans a Primer

    We are beginning our arc on fandoms. This is an area of serious academic study and Kristina has steeped herself in this research. We also bring our firsthand experience of various fandoms to the discussion. What's the right way to fan? What motivates anti-fans? What are the sources of drama we do often see? All this plus, you know, jokes.

    Episode 152: Armie Hammer, Cannibalism, and the State of the Documentary

    We at GenXtemporaneous live a good documentary. Truth be told, we love some terrible documentaries, too. We've discussed Anna Delvey, Tiger King, and Natalia Grace. This week, we pull the lens back a little and talk about documentaries in general and The House of Hammer, in particular. Is it a necessary conversation about a Hollywood elite with cannibalistic proclivities? Or is it a sensationalist look at a Hollywood elite with cannibalistic proclivities? Join us to find out!

    Episode 151: What the Fuck October Edition

    Every once in a while, we like to do a "What the f**k" episode. Themes are ripped from today's headlines, as they say, as Marc and Kristina comment on current events that cause them to shake their heads, quirk and eyebrow, or shocks them to their core. Plus, there are jokes.

    Episode 151: So What if We Are in a Simulation?

    We've talked about the hypothesis about living in a simulation. We've discussed some of the ways we might detect the simulation. This week, we just shrug and accept that we might live in a simulation. Now what? Marc and Kristina discuss the consequences of living in a simulation. This is useful stuff. Don't leave the Matrix without it.

    Episode 150: How would we know if we are in a simulation?

    Welcome back to one of our favorite topics: the possibility of us living in a simulation. This week, we want to find a way to put this theory to the test. What would reveal base reality (assuming we aren't living in it now)? What kinds of tests can we perform? Why is Marc still pixelated?

    Episode 149: Dirty Dancing After Dark

    Previously released as a patreon extended discussion about Life Lessons in 80s Movies, we're sharing this talk about Dirty Dancing here this week. We are almost done researching our next episode on the simulation hypothesis, but we wanted to give you something new to listen to in the meantime.

    Episode 147: The Simulation Hypothesis or Is It?

    Do we live in a simulation? Some people, including serious scientists, think we do. Marc and Kristina discuss this theory in a new arc of episodes about the Simulation Hypothesis. Simulation or not, this is an interesting and entertaining discussion.
