115 | The Jared Leto Problem
Update: 2025-10-21
Description
From Pokémon to Tron, this one's a slow-motion spiral into the economy of failure.
Mike & Mike try to figure out why Jared Leto keeps getting work despite every movie bombing, how the Oscars turned into a feedback loop of fake credibility, and what happens when sincerity itself becomes a business model.
Somewhere in the middle, Pokémon becomes an accidental metaphor for Hollywood's ranking system, Tron: Ares becomes a prophecy, and 30 Seconds to Mars gets exposed as the official sound of fake profundity.
It's an episode about fame, myth, and the way art keeps eating itself — with the usual amount of chaos and unplanned accuracy.
