We follow the mismatch'd pair—one four-eyed, the other tired; one Mormon, the other Agnostick—from their early TIFF screenings, to Free Film Fridays and back, through the strange yet redemptive turns of fortune in their early 20s, on a grand tour of the 21st century’s dark spiral, as they observe and participate in the many opportunities for insanity presented them by the Age of AI Slop and Bad Podcasts.

Strangelove & The Red Shoes - The Mentaculus Ep. 15

Hello, hello, hello! Episode 15 is here! You may ask yourself, "What day is it today?" And you may tell yourself, "This is not a Wednesday!" And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful podcast!" And you may ask yourself, "Am I right, am I wrong?" Well, you'd be both. Today is, in fact, a Friday. Ooops. Our producer was asleep. But aside from that, it's the same as it ever was. Certain things only come around once in a lifetime. This episode is one of those things. This whole podcast is another. But when the days have gone by, you have the chance to raise your hand high, and shout, "I was there!" Don't miss that chance. Same as it ever was.

MAGNUM OPUS - The Mentaculus Ep. 14

Happy Wednesday folks. In 1512, Michelangelo finished his work on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. He never painted another ceiling again. In 1969 Neil Armstrong (allegedly) commanded Apollo 11, becoming the first person to walk on the moon. He retired from NASA shortly after. In 1972, Bobby Fischer became World Chess Champion, ending 24 years of Soviet domination. He subsequently disappeared from the public eye. In 1998, Lauryn Hill dropped The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill to wide acclaim. She never released another studio album again.These are a few names among many who crumbled under the pressure of their crowning achievements. People reached the stars early on, and never dared to take the plunge again. We at The Mentaculus don't subscribe to that mentality, because fortunately, we are getting better. In our fourteenth week of providing you weekly content, a HUGE episode comes your way. An episode that any of the names above would feel proud to be mentioned alongside. Tune in for what is possibly the best cinema commentary we've had all year, and some more updates on what's going on in our lives, as well as the rest of the world.
