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.
Like any birth, the emergence of 2016 from the dying womb of 2015 was a painful experience, filled with half-understood images of people with masks and giant hands lifting you into the light and what was I saying? Oh yes, the birth of the new year. Featured topics: a new take on the original Star Wars trilogy, a brief chat about The Hateful Eight, and more!
Everyone! gather round and hear the tale of how a year was destroyed. In nuclear fire or boiling floods? No, by two unassuming podcasters who talk about Christmas holiday traditions, Doctor Who, and some of the stuff from 2015 they loved the most. Except for Tomorrowland, which bit.
The holiday season. It's a crazy time. So crazy that we spend most of our time talking about Star Wars, because what does an imaginary story about galactic conflict have to do with winter celebrations? Like I said, it's a crazy time.
Have we burned through all the mid-season finales yet? Herein please find a discussion of the now-ubiquitous MSF in form and practice: which tactics work, which don't, and what was happening on that last episode of S.H.I.E.L.D. anyway?
Enjoy our laser-like focus as we affix our coherent beams on the Flash-Arrow crossover and the season finale of Doctor Who. Sure we ramble, but we confine our rambling to just a couple of topics. No rants about the postal system this time, we promise.
How about that latest episode of Who? That was a doozy. You might as well call the show Doctor Doozy from now on. Lots of talk about that solo Doctor episode, plus reflections on Jessica Jones and the Captain America: Civil War trailer.
After a two-week illness break, DAC is back (!) with an episode on two installments of Doctor Who, a non-spoilery discussion of Jessica Jones, and some Farscape talk. The truth is that if you let Aidan and Adam talk long enough, Farscape will come up.
In which Adam does not know what to say in response to Aidan's feelings about faces. Is there a maximum face allowance on the human skull? Aidan says yes! Adam says, "uh, okay. Can we move on?"
Also: Who, Arrow, S.H.I.E.L.D., Ash, comics and more! All destroyed for your listening pleasure!
Sure, we seem like angry cultural critics intent on picking away at the source of your joy until it's a ribbon heap of bad decisions and misguided intentions, but the truth is that we like most of the culture we consume. Most of it. Find out our feelings on Who, S.H.I.E.L.D., Flash and all that business. Oh, and Ash vs. Evil Dead, which turned out be exactly what we thought it would be (to wit: hilarious and great).
Wondering how the live-action Jem and the Holograms movie resolves the central conflict between the main character's everyday life and rock star secret identity? Then go watch Hannah Montana. Aidan Morgan and Adam P. Knave talk Doctor Who, sports movies, the latest novel from David Wong (and the last from Walter Tevis), and other things. Like the Good Book says, "Nothing in this podcast is left undestroyed, folks!"
Without a doubt, it's the inaugural episode of Destroy All Culture! Listen as Adam P. Knave and Aidan Morgan DESTROY (in a good way) the following: Doctor Who, Undateable and the pleasures of live television, the sorry state of video games and more!
