    Episode 15: Why Can't We Have Nice Things? (Yes, this is about Stranger Things)

    Well, for better for for worse, Stranger Things has ended. Join us as we delve into the faults of its ending and how they tie in to bigger societal issues, such as: Capitalism’s war on authentic art, and how this has led to the general acceptance of slop media Casual misogyny, and how viewing women and girls as objects rather than complex individuals leads to their dehumanization by boys and men Liberal homophobia, and how performative activism does not equal good representation How our society allows people with certain levels of privilege to easily avoid responsibility for their actions ----------------------- If you are feeling suicidal, call 988 Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration: https://www.samhsa.gov/mental-health/suicidal-behavior/resources The Trevor Project 24/7 suicide prevention and crisis support: https://www.thetrevorproject.org/ National Domestic Violence Hotline (USA): https://www.thehotline.org/ ------------------------- Follow us for more: Instagram: @whohastimeforthispodcast YouTube: @whohastimeforthispodcast ------------------------- Sources: https://youtu.be/bqVlyU5X9bU?si=wpj7GnMWgWt0slr6 Stranger Things ruined its legacy: everything everywhere https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dBq_FWPiRo&list=LL&index=12 Explaining why everyone hates stranger things now if you’re employed and wanna know the tea: Amanda Todhunter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNXzMZfTUqk&t=4625s Stranger Things Finale: Rewatch Room Podcast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIA1jeOyZKY Stranger Things 5 Was A Complete Mess: loser sits by herself https://www.tumblr.com/bylerse10/804577247767969792/hi-duffers-i-have-some-questions-for-you?source=share List of 130 plot holes after the finale: bylerse10 https://writtenbyellis.substack.com/p/how-capitalism-ruined-the-arts How Capitalism Ruined the Arts: Ellis J.

    Episode 14: Can I Have Your Attention, Please?

    We're back for the second season of the Who Has Time For This? Podcast! In this episode, we unpack how American media became an attention economy built on clicks, conflict, and constant stimulation – and how that shift changed not just journalism, but us. Why you’re being fed political content on social media even when you’re not looking for it. Why outrage travels faster than context. Why livestreaming the Epstein files isn’t the same thing as investigative reporting the Epstein files. And how the far left and far right can end up sounding eerily similar online: not because they agree, but because the algorithm rewards the same emotional extremes. Our attention is the product. Our outrage is the fuel. And our politics are downstream of both. If you’ve ever felt exhausted by the news but unable to look away, this episode helps explain why. — SOURCES:  The Sirens’ Call by Chris Hayes  https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-sirens-call-how-attention-became-the-world-s-most-endangered-resource-chris-hayes/4df976eea7b35f6a8?ean=9780593653111&next=t Charlie Kirk’s letter to Benjamin Netanyahu  https://x.com/RealSaavedra/status/1972763775377064136 Antisemitism/No-Win Dynamic  https://www.pantsuitpoliticsshow.com/p/the-no-win-dynamic-understanding https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/12/american-anti-semitism-youth/685261/ How young Americans get their news  https://www.pewresearch.org/journalism/2025/12/03/young-adults-and-the-future-of-news/ Wise words from Terry Moran  https://terrymoran.substack.com/p/reality-bites Max Read’s Platform Temperance  https://substack.com/home/post/p-176764384 On Leftists Thread (@heyjohnnathan) https://www.threads.com/@heyjohnnathan/post/DU0njCWkfQG?xmt=AQF0Zqc63JEoSWvdvmGj78KTTvZ4N53XsqPq6LSRkSCVXA On Politicians vs Freedom Fighters Thread (@ahbeeolah)  https://www.threads.com/@ahbeeolah/post/DU8oGgrDWfI?xmt=AQF0Zqc63JEoSWvdvmGj78KTTvZ4N53XsqPq6LSRkSCVXA

    Episode 13: George Bailey - HOT TAKES (The Christmas Episode)

    What if “It’s a Wonderful Life” is actually a guide for surviving the political and cultural chaos of life right now? In this episode, we use “the George Bailey rubric” as a framework for decision-making: choosing long-term good over short-term comfort, community over convenience, and responsibility over vibes. From voting and climate change to canceled plans and paywalls, we ask: what does everyday heroism look like in 2025? Hint: It’s not a single one of the Avengers.  SOURCES:  Eldest Daughter:  https://health.clevelandclinic.org/the-deal-with-eldest-daughter-syndrome https://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2023/11/first-born-children-eldest-daughter-family-dynamics/675986/ Male Loneliness Epidemic  https://harpers.org/archive/2025/11/the-goon-squad-daniel-kolitz-porn-masturbation-loneliness/ https://www.profgalloway.com/boys-to-men/ https://lizplank.substack.com/p/male-loneliness-isnt-a-crisisits https://www.derekthompson.org/p/the-monks-in-the-casino George Bailey / “It’s a Wonderful Life”:  https://christandpopculture.com/george-bailey-at-the-bridge-the-costly-virtue-of-its-a-wonderful-life/ https://ashbrook.org/viewpoint/respub-2013-griffith/ https://www.meawisdom.com/the-george-bailey-effect/ God Rest Ye Merry Billionaires  https://www.instagram.com/p/DDNzyY3SyJq/
