    Pigs on Ice

    This episode was recorded literally the day before ICE murdered another person. We talk through a heavy topic, hate on the powers that be, and manage to get to the technofascists while we're at it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Bitchin' About A List

    A holiday bitchfest for everyone! The boys didn't really care for Quentin Tarantino's list of top twenty movies of the twentieth century and decided to whine about it, and also use it as a way to discuss Tarantino's work in general, which we have a complicated relationship with. Happy Holidays-ish! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Another Pynchon Film Has Hit the Culture

    It's time to dive into the film critics are calling the best film of the year: an adaptation of a Pynchon novel about having weird sex with your enemy and also everybody having a goofy ass name. So, an accurate adaptation in spirit, if not the rest. We touch on the revolutionary politics of the film, the racial/material implications of the politics, and whether this is, in fact, the best film of the year. Lock in. Hosted on Acast.
