Have you ever been faced with the sheer terror of an episode of something? Be unacquainted no more! Gaze in horror as your mind unravels at the sight of so many episodes.
Greetings! On this week’s podcast, Adam and Aidan discuss the relationship between Amazon’s Invincible series and the original comics run; plus, the reception of Zack Snyder’s Justice League and Sean T. Collins’ kaleidoscopic work of film criticism, Pain Don’t Hurt. Is it an endless exegesis of Patrick Swayze’s Road House? Yes it is. Listen below or find us on your iTunes of choice.
Well okay! The Falcon and the Winter Soldier has finally popped up on our Disney Pluses! And we discuss Zack Snyder’s Justice League, or “four hours of slow motion fuckin hot dogs,” as Adam puts it. Listen below or hunt us down where the iTunes roam.
Look, we’re trying to watch the new season of Riverdale, okay? We’re trying. But Riverdale, you make it difficult. And weird. Also discussed: Superman and Lois, Pacific Rim: The Black, and Adam’s rewatch of The Magicians. Listen below, or find us on your iTunes of choice.
Wandavision! Superman and Lois! The Tom Waits Cheetos story! It’s all here on Destroy All Culture. Listen below or download on your iTunes of choice.
In the run-up to Zack Snyder’s Justice League, we ponder the mysteries of the movie’s aspect ratio, followed by a discussion of Wandavision episodes 6 and 7, and Batwoman episodes 3 and 4. Aidan talks about I Care a Lot and Palm Springs; and Adam has seen Mythic Quest. So many items of note! Come note these items with us. Listen below or find us on your iTunes of choice.
The Expanse is over for another season! Adam is sad. Aidan is sad. Together they process their grief. Also, a new season of Riverdale starts! Adam and Aidan process their grief again.
Nothing yet.
Adam is not a huge fan of Batwoman, even with the new Batwoman in place. He doesn’t even like the costume addition of a “Hello my name is Batwoman” name tag. But! He enjoyed episodes 1-4 of Wandavision. So did Aidan. We all like a bit of Wandavision of a Friday and its meta-games. Also discussed: Schmack Schmyder’s Schmutice Schmeague, episodes 5.07-5.08 of The Expanse, Batman: Soul of the Dragon, Locked Down and 1986’s The Mosquito Coast.
Adam and Aidan ruminate on Disney’s long game. All Marvel, all Star Wars, almost no original IP. Plus, they rank the Marvel and Star Wars announcements based on their levels of excitement. Exciting! Listen below or find us on your iTunes of choice.
Hey folks, here you go, it’s a podcast, it’s a fragment out of the recent past, it’s a crystallized moment from late 2020, it’s a time capsule, it’s two guys talking about Star Trek. Also, a discussion on how to produce a weekly radio play in the age of physical distancing. And as a bonus, Adam is on a Supernatural rewatch. Listen below or find us on iTunes.
Adam doesn’t watch himself any Mandalorian, but Aidan does. And Aidan rambles on about the Ahsoka Tano episode, saying a whole lot of pretty obvious stuff, which Adam graciously entertains. Geez Aidan.
Anyway, after Aidan gets that out of his system, they talk about Star Trek: Discovery, Billie Piper’s panic-inducing series I Hate Suzie, and - and! - Hulu’s melancholy holiday delight, Happiest Season.
Supernatural is over, we watched the finale, and we have opinions. We’re dying, people. Tell us it’s okay.
But! After we wrangle out a discussion on the finale, we rank our personal top five favourite episodes of Supernatural around 45 minutes in. Listen below or find us on iTunes.
In this week’s Destroy All Culture: Adam returns clothing, Aidan commiserates. Adam tries to navigate Apple TV; Aidan commiserates. Other topics: fighting God (and winning!) in Supernatural; the joys of Ted Lasso; the weirdness of watching William Burroughs trying to shove a very stoned Terry Southern into an orgone box; and a bit of talk about Star Trek: Discovery and the unwholesome appetites of Baby Yoda on The Mandalorian. Listen below or find us on iTunes!
Here it is! The new intro. Just listen.
Anyway, welcome to Destroy All Culture, where we talk about Muppet memes, the episode of Supernatural with the infamous Castiel/Dean scene and the first two seasons of Star Trek: Discovery. In the back half, Aidan gets spooky and discusses the finale of Helstrom, BBC’s Ghostwatch and the saddest horror film in the world, Lake Mungo. Listen below or find us on the iTunes of your choice.
Seriously. We talk much too long about Fawlty Towers remakes (at least three) and Golden Girls spinoff series. Plus: a middling final season Supernatural episode leads into a talk about what constitutes a decent episode of Supernatural; a quick talk about late season one Star Trek: Discovery; and finally, Aidan compares the Netflix series The Queen’s Gambit with the Walter Tevis novel, which he read before it was cool, and finds the series compelling but wanting.
INT DAY Destroy All Culture headquarters. ADAM and AIDAN are walking down an endless hallway.
ADAM: Hey, it’s episode 202 of Destroy All Culture.

ADAM: The boys in the back messed up.
AIDAN: Figures.
ADAM: How’s that?
AIDAN: I figure.
ADAM: Can’t argue with that.
AIDAN: What’s up with episode 202?
ADAM: Sorkin, that’s what’s up. The West Wing reunion, the Trial of the Chicago 7 -
AIDAN: DONNA!
ADAM: Where?
AIDAN: Sorry, it was a pony.
ADAM: [20 minute monologue about everything that’s wrong with America]
