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.

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?

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?

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.

On this episode, Josh discusses what is planned for the International Space Station in 2030. Hope you like fireworks!

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.

On this episode, Brett discusses a bread-scanning AI software that ends up being repurposed to save lives identifying cancel cells. Not all AI is trying to kill us! ...yet. Then Josh laughs manically as Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Jon Sandman fall victim to one of the best/worst villains in video game history: Vaas Montenegro. Move over Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul because actor Michael Mando's most iconic role will forever be the video game baddie for a promotional YouTube "Film" that is way better than it should be: The Far Cry Experience.   Off-top Links and References: The Pastry AI   Content: Definitive TFCE Link Insanity Trailer Deep Dive Vaas Interview History of Vaas Vaas Character Analysis Jon Sandman Reaction Vid Talking Everything Vaas Vaas Original Design Making of TFCE     Follow Us: All of our links!

On this episode, Josh discusses a video essay breakdown about The Walking Dead's Dr. Jenner of the CDC and his pro-moralist attempt at mercy killing non-zombified humans. Hey, we get it... the zombie apocalypse would be stressful but don't be such a dick, Edwin.

On this episode, Brett tells the story of the real life Simpson's house and the marketing ploy gone wrong. Then Josh shows his love and respect for the greatness known as James Cameron. Or Jim, Jimbo, JC, whatever you want to call him. It's all about torturing your under-water victims/actors when it comes to capturing the challenging reality of under-water life. This is one lesser known James Cameron film that you've probably seen but it is time to revisit.

On this episode, Josh tells the story of clothes that we will maybe one day need to fool our robot overlords. We're not talking polka dots and plaid here... well, I guess we kind of are?

On this episode, Brett tells the story of the best acceptance speech in Razzie history when Halle Berry accepted her award for her role in Catwoman.

On this episode, Josh tells a terrifying story of a real-life caving accident with a deceptively adorable name. Then Brett is joined by his partner and the world's fourth Contentologist to pitch a show that has succeeded where America has failed. (The American Public Sex Education curriculum has failed us.)

On this episode, Brett helps himself to another serving of an obscure and old-timey aviation world record that somehow stands to this day, 64 years ago! No word on what happened to the poop. Then Josh fills eagerly awaiting earholes with a passionate diatribe about the unclassifiable musical mavericks who take genre-blending to heavenly heights. This isn't your grandmother's alt-rock group. (Or maybe it is?)

On this episode, Josh pokes fun at his favorite two-dimensional conspiracy theory and the colorful community who advocates for it against all odds and logic... yes, he's talking about flat-earthers. (He also tries to convince everyone Brett is a flat-earther which is wildly untrue and outlandish! How dare he!) Brett then plunges us into the chilling personal narratives of a dystopian war that feels eerily plausible, particularly in a world still reeling from the Covid era. This isn't your run-of-the-mill zombie fiction, it's the gripping, end-times narrative of World War Z.
