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.
In their long tradition of not taking advantage of obvious opportunities, Aidan and Adam sit down for their 24th episode and perversely refuse to discuss Kiefer Sutherland's torture-happy star vehicle 24. Why? Because it was a stupid, stupid show. And Prince died, so we had to process that. Who would have thought a world without Prince was possible?
We also talk about water bottles. Did you know that Nalgene is a brand and not a substance?
We're so sorry, everyone: we squandered the opportunity to dedicate our 23rd episode to The Number 23, the hilariously bad attempt to turn Jim Carrey into a non-comedic actor (also of note: The Majestic and Simon Fucking Birch). Oh well. Instead, we discuss the season finale of iZombie and go from there into a wandering discussion on finales in general. Enjoy.
Let's all gather round and listen to a podcast. If not another one, then this one. If not this, then nothing, because this podcast exists at the end of time. Weird, right? Anyway, Aidan and Adam talk about the most recent round of TV superheroes, plus some more ruminations on Bahman v Sahmaman. Which, in case you're curious, suffers on second viewing.
Oh hey, Batman v Superman. Watcha doing? Just sitting there, being a hideous money-chewing behemoth? Aidan saw it, Adam didn't, so we largely discuss the critical reception surrounding the film. Will Adam eventually see it? If there's any justice in the world, yes.
Two weeks ago, we recorded a podcast and forgot to put it up on the site. What did we talk about? The usual stuff! We definitely talked about Supergirl and stuff. Damn, this podcasting business is hard.
What happens to the soul of a man when he watches the pilot episodes of Full and Fuller House? Nothing good, you can be sure. Dive deep into the abyss of patriarchal anxiety with Aidan and Adam this week. Plus Limitless, Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl and Zootopia.
Who would deliberately and with masochism aforethought watch the Jem and the Holograms movie? The answer, obviously, is unsuspecting Jem fans and us. We take this misbegotten attempt at adopting a beloved '80s cartoon and examine the strange things that must have happened along the way. Sing along with us beneath the pier.
We also talk a bit about the first season of Psych, which Adam nominates as the blandest show fo all time. Fun!
Is Deadpool something new in the firmament of superhero movies? Or is it the same-old same-old with a layer of dirty jokes and audience asides? You'll have to listen or you'll never know for sure. Deadpool! Legends of Tomorrow! Agent Carter, iZombie and so on!
After a two-week hiatus, DAC is back and sounding, quite literally, better than ever. Take in some crystal clear audio as we discuss such odd topics as: Greg Berlanti's weird obsession with insufficiently appointed jail cells, the many differences between the series and the novel in Expanse, and random other stuff.
Episode 15 of Destroy All Culture asks listeners the crucial question: if you owned a life-sized figure of the armored Batman from Batman v Superman, would you hump it? I mean, after a hard day at work, would you come home, grab a beer from the fridge, look for something on Netflix over a microwaved Amy's Meal, and then, failing to find anything sufficiently entertaining, go and hump the giant Batman in the corner of the room? Or would you dress up like Superman first? Don't forget that beer! Anyway, this week we talk about DC on TV: Supergirl, Flash/Arrow, Legends of Tomorrow.
There's no end to the number of TV shows featuring people in costumes that we can talk about, so in theory there should be no end to this podcast. But the truth is that we get a little tired after an hour. This week! The Expanse and the politics of worldbuilding! The women and fuccbois of Agent Carter! Supergirl and the exploding Winn! All the other DC stuff, including Flash, Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow!
See? Exhausting.
Are you, like Aidan and Adam, curious about "whatta week it's been?" Then this is the podcast for you! Click below to hear Adam say "Man, whatta week, hey?" and Aidan be like, "Yeah... sure has been a week."*
*None of that happens. Join us for an entertaining hour as we discuss The Expanse, Supergirl, the uncertain promise of Colony, and the hideous waste of time that is Shadowhunters! All that and more, but with the more edited out, on Destroy All Culture!
It's the most nipple-centric episode of DAC yet, and that's saying something. Topics under discussion: The Expanse (episodes 1-3), Supergirl, plus plenty of other business. And of course, Adam's nipples.
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.
