DISCLAIMER: This episode brought to you by some bizarre vocal pitch-shift that we ultimately decided to keep (not because we don't know how to get rid of it). Gender, compulsive heterosexuality, and the word "queer"? Consider them all solved! Today is brought to you by a lot of conversation about our audio quality juxtaposed with countless technical difficulties. Julia's phat ass was censored by GarageBand's stake in Big Wasp.
Julia saw Eraserhead last night and won't shut up about it! She bombards Matt with a filmmaking Q & A where all of the Qs are also kind of As? Stick around for us Find Your Roots-ing Nicholas Cage (aka Nicholas Kim COPPOLA?!). Also Matt got a bike--tune in next week for more on this.
What's good? No, really...what is good? Matt and Julia wonder if nuance has jumped the shark in the classroom and beyond. There do, in fact, be essays. Unfortunately a lot of them are written by TERFs and/or Carrie Battan.
Can you believe we're on a two week recording streak? Some might call it a Pride Month miracle, sponsored by WGBH, the slew of cancelled NBC dramas, and viewers like you. Julia still has a cast but we're not talking about it, and Matt knows the date of his art show, which are both huge updates from last week. Join us in unbridling the capitalist constraints of the modern television programme and modern life from our deceased brain cell, may she rest.
Hello fellas, femmes, and fluids we are BACK and we are NO BETTER than we were before. In the wake of both hard-won triumphs and harrowing pitfalls, Matt and Julia have decided to answer the call of our adoring fan(s) and actually record an episode for once. With takes that make Julia lament "nobody discourses with me anymore," and Matt encouraging Julia that she is Employee Of The Month, you can expect all of your cultural baggage unpacked here in our 69th (lol) episode.
Matt is wearing his Miranda July shirt and Julia's brain is "warm." We take you back to this podcast's rambling origins as Julia poorly describes the plot to "Portrait of a Lady on Fire" and Matt straight-up spoils a different French film. Space heater? On. Discounted Valentine's Day chocolate? Bagged. Brain? Cell.
We finally set the record straight on the great debate of soil vs. dirt while meandering along tangents about our crafty childhoods, Julia's workshop (that she isn't taking personally!), and teens dropping sad boi hits while covertly promoting their colon-heavy Disney+ original series. Long live Harry Styles!
Two weeks have passed, and Matt and Julia know...less? This dynamic comedy duo determines that they only have the qualifications to teach a course on rocks if it's given a deranged liberal arts humanities twist. There's a new corporate WDWK? floating through the ether, and we herby declare war. We're (officially) back and in fabulous form!
Reunited and if feels so...fine? Everyone is okay! The world is great and we set our eyes on futurity and the (false?) promise of progeny. Julia reveals her big five-year plan which is *drumroll* to live! Matt, on the record, calls children a financial burden. We're coming in to 2021 hotter than ever and ready to be cancelled when we finally blow up!
Keeping you on your toes by recording on our "normal" day (sorry, McKenna)! This episode is heavy on the truth, but we don't neglect to hit you with some facts. If COVID doesn't wipe out the population by the time Matt is done "traveling," we'll see you then!
Without further ado, the big announcement everyone has been waiting for: WDWK finally endorses the Biden/Harris 2020 ticket! Julia's train of thought slowly tips off the rails as we pose unanswerable questions including, but not limited to, "how does change happen?" In the meantime, all we can do is beg for the JD Power Awards to be televised. PS: DO THE READING!
After a false start, we jump straight into the nonsense with lines like "THE POPE CAR RIDES IN A POPE CAR." Join our campaign to have the JD Power & Associates Awards televised! And no one steal our idea for a pop up microbrewery in a cemetery!!
Listen as Matt loudly fiddles with his mic stand to create a soft ASMR backdrop for this angst-ridden episode. From Julia's spot-on Elizabeth Warren impression to our inability to have even the slightest idea of what "Emily in Paris" is about, this week we cover it all! Hey, McKenna: Join our Discord !!
Matt hits the ground running by prompting Julia into a spiraling tangent within the first thirty seconds of this pod. We somehow get from cereal to corn by way of corrective lenses and old timey lesbian aesthetics. Ride this roller coaster all the way to the end to hear our takes on ethical drug use and the white washing of many culturally significant psychoactive substances!
In case you forgot Julia was gay, she reminds you on more than several occasions this week! After emerging from our respective chrysalises, our one braincell attempts to solve the problem of the American sex ed system (as well as the entire judiciary branch, as a coda). Keep your ears peeled for the ghost !! <3 <3 <3
Julia and Matt once again gaze (gays?) into their enchanted podcast mirror to marvel at their shared brain cell. Fresh off of hate-watching "The Social Dilemma" this dynamic duo has a lot to say about argumentation and the use of narrative filmmaking in the documentary format. More importantly, is that the guy from "Booksmart"? He's really fallen off.
Did someone say discourse?! Matt and Julia flex their liberal arts muscles in a feat of interdisciplinary body building. If you've wanted to hear us move from politics to politics of binge drinking to binging on media, then this is the episode for you! Worth the wait!
Welcome back to the ~haunted~ podcast! The reemergence of the ghost somehow manages to trigger neither our respective fight, flight, nor freeze responses. Follow along as Matt recounts the Katy Perry v. convent feud and Julia chaotically drops that she, against all odds, has a boyfriend (!!).
Back at it with some hot fire fact checking, these two idiots don't know anything and can't stop talking about it. Matt "innovates" the "form" by refusing to hold his microphone how anyone would ever imagine holding a microphone and Julia remembers playing elite competitive tennis while dressed like a hooker in high school. Drop your middle school gym class songs in the chat!
