More talk about fairytales...
What makes Ted Bundy so scary...and how he changed society.
A (probably lackluster and rambling) tribute to Ozzy Osbourne.
Today’s episode is all about something you think you know — fairy tales, language, and how we learn to be who we are.

I discuss Clay Higgins' stated position on his Epstein vote. I also address how corrupt Democratic politicians like Edwin Edwards helped give rise to MAGA. And, hey, what would a discussion of Louisiana politics be without mentioning Huey Long and his scandalous power-grabbing? I get into that as well, and why it further validates "radical" critiques of power.
It’s a question that comes up a lot — especially online.
If liberals champion tolerance and acceptance, why do they seem unwilling to extend that same courtesy to conservatives?
At first glance, it feels like hypocrisy.
But the confusion really lies in what “acceptance” means — and what it doesn’t.
Rewinding to 2008 — the moment Ty Segall officially stepped into the spotlight with his self-titled debut. It’s loud, it’s messy, it’s short — and it’s the spark that lit one of the most relentless creative streaks in garage rock.
Can you spot the part where I edited out a spoiler?
Anyway, this is my conversation with Pasqual Gutierrez and Ben Mullinkosson about their film "Serious People."
Pasqual Gutierrez has co-directed music videos for artists Bad Bunny, Rosalia, J Balvin, Madonna, Travis Scott, The Weeknd, and others.
"Blurring the line between fiction and reality, Serious People follows a music video director who, overwhelmed by fatherhood and creative burnout, hires a doppelganger to take over his work. What starts as a clever solution spirals into a surreal exploration of identity, ambition, and the pressures of the creative grind."
This interview is NOT a movie review, and I'll leave it up to viewers to decide whether it's a quality film or not.
I provide tourist propaganda for the state of Michigan in this episode.
Who is “that dog that hasn’t barked”? Jeffrey Epstein's e-mail has the answer!
The Rolling Stones’ 'Exile on Main St.'
Today, I'm talking about something that’s both ancient and ever-present: cultural evolution — how societies change, grow, and pass their values from one generation to the next.
Basic biography of Def Leppard. + some of my thoughts.
I speak with Kyle Weingart about his quirky comedy "Cuisine de la 'Pocalypse."
That movie's premise: "After the world ends, one aspiring chef refuses to give up on his dreams and creates the apocalypse's first cooking show."
Stars: Kevin Jack, Nelo Butler, Zuzu Weingart, Natasha Leggero, and Kevin Sorbo.
I look at the Trump administration's love of death and destruction, as well as the death of the plainly villainous and corrupt Dick Cheney, who was another purveyor of mass death and destruction...who I am supposed to respect right now just because he kicked the bucket.
Corporate monopolies fund political agendas.
Political decrees protect corporate interests.
It’s a feedback loop that amplifies itself:
the wealth of the few becomes the law of the land,
and the law of the land preserves the wealth of the few.
I probably make a fool of myself talking about the profound nature of boob-shaped hills and mountain ranges.
Trump is playing with nukes.
My brother Ryan joins me to discuss ways to better enjoy the much-maligned "Halloween: Resurrection." In the process, we also discuss plot holes in horror, multiverses, the iffy nature of Freddy and Pennywise's powers, gasoline in The Walking Dead, and the importance of suspension of disbelief.
Today we’re revisiting the Granada Television series The Return of Sherlock Holmes, beginning with Season 1, Episode 1: “The Empty House.”
