Literary Merit

A topic that should be dead and buried has risen from the grave to plague us. Also, Alex went on a boat and Ashley puts small girls in car trunks (not really).

This time it's a deep dive onto Jonathan Coulton's recent album Solid State. We're talking internet trolls, pictures of cats, and mankind's relationship to technology and each other.

What's better than a web series? A queer web series! This time we're talking about The Outs and The Feels. Mean girls and soft boys. Also, Alex has different hair and Ashley cannot stop saying TRUE.

Things are a little different this time, as we drill down on one particular piece of media: Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds. Also, Ashley had a birthday, and Alex has big news.

We just had too many funny things to say! Here's the rest on Wild Wild West, The Borgias, and more.

Historical fiction is the topic of the day, as we contemplate the difficult balance between factual integrity and good storytelling.

We look back on what Blizzard did so, so right to make Overwatch the phenomenon that it is. Also, we talk about how tiny infants are and Pikachu's character arc.

Stuff left on the cutting room floor of episode 5 for not being about comics, including smoochable boy faces and cancelled TV shows.

We're talking queer comics, the history of LGBTQA+ representation in comics, and our favorite queer heroes. Also, we've got mixed feelings on the Wachowskis, as well as dogs.

More than we ever wanted to know about Twitter's thoughts on Jeff Goldblum, and Sonic's new family.

Our first guest episode! We talk about nostalgia in new video games and other media with Dillon, aka. Zoodle, who may or may not have gotten on the show thanks to nepotism.

We ended up talking about Star Wars for a long time after episode 3, and dumb jokes were enjoyed by all.

We drilled down on the topic of representation and diversity in Hollywood. Buckle up, this is rocky terrain. We mostly looked at Power Rangers (2017) and Ghost in the Shell (2017).

Some rants cut from episode 2, including romantic misadventures with aliens and why Sherlock is dumb.

We talk about adaptations of classics, and get a little sidetracked at times. Shakespeare, Sherlock Holmes and more are on the table.
