With careful consideration, this will be the final episode of "Mars on Life." This was a difficult choice, but we have chosen to end our five-year run in pursuit of a new, refined show. Rest assured, we will all return.With returning guest Taylor Mewhiney, the boys return to the topic that started off the show, "American Dirt," as a new book by the author is on the horizon. We also return to "Velvet Buzzsaw" one last time, as well as what's the deal with Jake Gyllenhaal. We look back on what we accomplished, what COVID-19 took from us and what we anticipate for the future series still in development. Thank you to those who stayed with us for these wild times and we hope you continue to listen to us when we return. Goodbye for now, but stay tuned.Social media:Mars on Life: @marsonlifeshow on X and InstagramRyan Mancini: @mancinira (X) and @manciniryan (Instagram)Sebastian Schug: Seabass on YouTubeAndrew Martinez: @andrewomartinez (X)Matt Fernandez: @matt_fern (X) and @thewoodseyninja (Instagram)Artwork by Zachary Erberich (@zacharyerberichart)"Space X-plorers" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

It's not Festivus, but we air grievances regarding some big things in pop culture and cuisine, as well as some museums, that have been some real stinkers after so much hype from our peers.

**This is a review with spoilers, so you have been warned.** Taylor Mewhiney returns to the show to talk with the whole Mars on Life crew for their latest Halloween film review. Was "Joker: Folie à Deux" the movie critics said it was? Is it a worthwhile Halloween movie? What's the deal with DC movies? How about another joke, Murray? Content warning at 26:50: discussion on possible sexual assault depicted in the movie.

Time to talk food once again. Remember all those snacks, treats, delicious jams and jellies from the early 2000s that could only ever exist in a post-modern world?
