    #17: Vinyl Records

    Are 8-tracks cool? Are HitClips cool? What even are HitClips? Not gonna lie, I had to look it up for the sake of writing this episode summary, and they're not even cool enough to get mentioned in the episode. Nah dude, R E C O R D S are basically the ONLY cool audio format anymore, which is why we decided to record an episode about them filled with little facts and a lot of nonsense. Listen to it!

    #16: Rage Against The Machine

    What's your least favorite machine? Yeah, I thought so. Called it, really. Anyway, these guys don't actually sing about robots or cars much; it usually has more to do with political institutions and hegemonic social injustice. If that puts a bad taste in your mouth, you can get it out by licking boots, I guess.  Contact us! mgmt@littlecontext.com Matt's Twitter: @SpicyHogan Devon's Twitter: @Devorooni Music: "Strollin" by Elin Sandberg SOURCES www.ratm.com Wikipedia RadioX https://www.musictimes.com/articles/81769/20200611/4-times-rage-against-machine-stood-political-views.htm https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/rage-against-the-machine-banned-saturday-night-live-snl-1996/ https://snl.fandom.com/wiki/Rage_Against_The_Machine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kl4wkIPiTcY&ab_channel=RATMVEVO This podcast is intended for entertainment purposes only.

    UNHINGED: Incredibles 2

    Matt really puts on his tinfoil hat for this episode, and defends one of the most damning arguments over a family movie in recent years: Incredibles 2 is a kid friendly film about how super heroes and billionaires really aren't that different, and we like super heroes, so maybe we should like billionaires too.  No sources for this episode except for the movies in question, so don't fact check us or so help us God we will be so embarrassed for you because you really wasted your time, I tell you what.

    #11: NASCAR

    This may not be our most timely episode, but luckily for us, podcasting isn't a race.  NASCAR is, though!
