    Prince Rupert Drops / Terrifier

    On this episode, Brett shares the secrets behind both the strength and explosive power of sperm-shaped glass objects known as Prince Rupert Drops. Then Josh brings some Christmas cheer with an end of the year recommendation featuring Art the Clown, a silent killer who gleefully murders his way through a brutally gory series of films.

    Luxor Balloon Disaster / The Franchise

    On this episode, Josh tells the story of the worst hot air balloon accident in aviation history. Spoiler alert, it was awful. Then Brett lightens the mood with a recommendation for a fast-paced and wry comedy that pokes fun at the thing he loves the most: the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It just goes to show, if you love something, you should make fun of it. It also goes to show, HBO NEVER MISSES. Whether you love the MCU, hate the MCU, love AND hate the MCU or just love really good satire then definitely don't miss this hilarious british satire: The Franchise.   Off-top Links and References: YouTube: Deadliest Hot Air Balloon Accident Ever 2013 Luxor Hot Air Balloon Crash   Content: How Superhero Franchise Movies Lost Their Way: “It’s Actual Chaos” Martin Scorsese: I Said Marvel Movies Aren’t Cinema.

    Fogbank / Resident Evil Remakes

    On this episode, Brett discusses a material so secret and classified, the United States government forgot how to make it! Then Josh indulges himself by diving deeply into a video game series that continues to be a fan-favorite generation after generation. Expect zombies, survival horror and a nostalgic look at the games that earn the resounding approval from both Josh AND his eight year-old daughter: the Resident Evil Remakes.   Off-top Links and References: Fogbank Is Mysterious Material Used In Nukes The Material So Classified We Forgot How to Make It   Content: How Capcom Has Made its Resident Evil Franchise Immune to Remake Fatigue Den of Geek: How Resident Evil Set the Standard for Video Game Remakes How did they remaster this remake?

    Ancient Medical Procedures / Succession

    On this episode, Josh discusses some ancient medical procedures that cure that old timey hysteria! Then Brett finally deep dives into one of the greatest shows ever made. It's time for a darkly comedic drama about a powerful, dysfunctional family's ruthless battle for control of their global media empire. The characters, writing, performances and cinematography have elevated this Murdoch-esque saga into an a masterpiece with the series: Succession.   Off-top Links and References: 2000 Year Old Surgery Skull Four Horrifying Historical Medical Procedures 12 Shocking Medical Treatments 10 Bizarre Medical Treatments Testis Transplantation   Content: Rupert Murdoch's Succession Drama Murdoch Drama Inspired Sucession James Murdoch Leaks to Succession Napoleon's Penis in Succession Logan Roy's Trio: Gerri, Karl & Frank The Sick Case of Roman Roy Succession's Best Character The Camera is a Player in Succession The Succession Character You Never See Why is Everyone in Succession Bad at Business?

    TLEs / Rainbow Six

    On this episode, Brett regurgitates some of the most "creative" backronyms scientists have ever pieced together. (Sprites, Ghosts, Elves, etc.) But it's worth the trouble because upper-atmospheric lightening is fascinating. Then Josh deep dives into a Tom Clancy action classic with enough hyper-specific military jargon to justify his throbbing tactical boner. Set in the '90s, with "quaint" terrorists (that still apparently deserve red-misted skulls), the world-ending viral plot feels different in a post-Covid world. It's time for the thick but perfectly-paced novel: Rainbow Six.   Off-top Links and References: Edge-View of Sprite from ISS (Facebook) Edge-View of Sprite from ISS (Reddit) Upper Atmospheric Lightning - Wikipedia   Content: Tom Clancy - Wikipedia The X3Finder Heartbeat and Respiration Detection System | Officer Tom Clancy on Writing "The Hunt for Red October" John Wick, James Bond, Jack Reacher: Why do all action heroes have J names?   Follow Us: All of our links!

    Decommissioning ISS / POCUPs

    On this episode, Josh discusses what is planned for the International Space Station in 2030. Hope you like fireworks! Then Brett pitches his unnumbered listicle for the best Patton Oswalt Cameos and Unique Performances. Turns out P.O. is in pretty much everything he likes.

    100th Episode! / Jack Reacher

    On this special 100th episode, Josh and Brett invite super fan and special guest Allister Booth to reflect on what it means to be a Contentologist (it's a real thing), the role Content plays in all our lives and what we are all currently engrossed in. Then Allister pitches some serious Contentology our way to (hopefully) become the world's fourth Contentologist. It's all about the 6'5" hitchhiker known for his honor, skills and athleticism: Jack Reach, no middle name.   Follow Us: All of our links!
