DAC Episode 81: The Thom Allison Variety Special

/

Great news everyone! Thom Allison (Pree from Syfy's Killjoys) joins us for an exceptionally enjoyable hour of talk about Canadian television nostalgia, the inside scoop on Taiwan, and of course, how Pree grew his hair so long on "The Lion, The Witch, and The Warlord."

On the frown-emoji side of things, a series of dropped connections resulted in some occasional audio issues and a few awkward "are you theres." We did the best we could. Which, when you have Thom Allison on the line, is pretty freaking great. Listen below or find us where the iTunes are.

DAC Episode 80: Valerian and the Podcast of 1,000 Mehs

/

Iiiiiit's podcast time! Not for us, obviously. We've already recorded this one. On this week's episode, Adam has imbibed a yard's worth of pop culture, including Atomic Blonde and Luc Besson's Valerian. It turns out that Valerian tests even Adam's love for Besson's films. Speaking of Besson, I still think it's weird Lucy was about a woman who turns into a godlike intelligence while fighting Asian Triad gangsters. Anyway! We also talk about the latest from Wynonna Earp and especially Killjoys. Listen below, find us on iTunes, you do you.

DAC Episode 79: Trailers and babies

/

Well. What do you know? A new Doctor, and this one will be played by a woman! Most of the Internet muttered "about time" under their breaths, another segment danced in the streets of the information superhighway, but a vocal few whined about political correctness and menocide and whatever else it is these dipshits like to complain about. We talk about Who, the Wrinkle In Time trailer, Killjoys, Wynonna Earp, and briefly discussed the joys of bad television. Won't you listen along here? Or maybe on iTunes?

DAC Episode 78: Return of Man of Spider

/

Lo, and in the 78th episode of Destroy All Culture, Adam and Aidan did see a moving picture wherein a teenager endowed of spider powers screwed up royally for two hours but was forgiven, for he was the protagonist. Also: a discussion of the latest episode of Killjoys, an examination of the atrocious ZOO, and a tangent on the Geostorm trailer, aka Adam's next favourite movie of all time. Listen here or find us on iTunes.

And here's the Geostorm trailer for context, featuring Gerard Butler in mid-burp acting mode.

"Let's Geostorm!" said Gerard Butler, putting on his neon Geostorm elbow pads and roller blades. "No Gerard," said the President of the freakin' United States. "I need you to Geostorm, but not on the boardwalk like usual. This time you're going to Geostorm in space."

DAC Episode 75: Tamsen McDonough, Funko Pops, moose balls

/

Greetings! It's episode 75 of Destroy All Culture. We spoke with Tamsen McDonough, aka the voice of Lucy on Killjoys. Along with plenty of non-spoilery talk about the upcoming third season of the show, we spend a lot of time discussing customized Funko pops, the joys of Neal McDonough (no relation - I think) and how to spray paint moose balls. Yes we did. Enjoy! As always, listen below or download the episode on iTunes.

Season three of Killjoys premieres June 30 on Syfy and Space.

DAC Episode 74: What's up with the Who?

/

On episode 74 of Destroy All Culture, Adam and Aidan talk about life. Actually, they talk about Life, the Reynolds/Gyllenhaal/Ferguson sci-fi Alien-ish movie that features unexpected deaths and the best feel-bad movie ending of the year. Is it the Alien movie that Alien: Covenant could have and should have been? Yes it is, because Alien: Covenant was a whole heap of nonsense about the usual crew of ninnies who touch down on a planet and wander around obliviously until they bump into a set of jaws.

Also up for discussion: the current season of Doctor Who. After a set of strong episodes and a promising start to a storyline about reality-replacing monks, we now seem to be settling into a groove of subpar hours before the grand Moffatt-written finale. Will the final episodes crisp up the soggy middle of this sci-fi sandwich? I don't know. All I know is that I'm hungry now. Anyway, enjoy! Download here or catch us on the good old iTunes.

DAC Episode 70: Let's Guard Ourselves A Galaxy

/

Hello pals of us! It's another hour of Destroy All Culture. Adam and Aidan talk about Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, from its charming sounds and odd flaws to Peter Quill's Han Solo moment. And did you know that Ben Browder pops up in the movie? I did not. Adam did, though, and he was pretty gleeful about it.

We also discuss basic bunker logistics on Arrow and shine a little light on iZombie. Listen below or find us, as ever, on iTunes.

DAC Episode 69: Akira and the Overfiend

/

Perhaps inspired by the episode's number, Aidan and Adam wander off into the dark thicket of hentai-related talk, and that bizarre period of time when, for some reason, everyone went from Akira and Ghost in the Shell and Miyazaki anime to Legend of the Overfiend. All that and a discussion of episode two of the latest season of Doctor Who.

Listen below, or find us on iTunes. What a good idea.

DAC Episode 68: Hitchiker's Guide for the Perplexed

/

Faithful listeners of Destroy All Culture, remember when Adam challenged Aidan to rewatch 2005's movie adaptation of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? Well, it happened. Ear-witness the result as Adam praises the film and Aidan... well, he's willing to be convinced. Also, Adam watched the F8 of the Furious and had a fine time doing it. Won't you settle in with us for an hour or so? If you want to do it right now, you can always find us on iTunes.

DAC Episode 65: Bebop-a-lula

/

It's about as close as you're going to get to a musical episode of Destroy All Culture. No one sings, but Aidan and Adam talk about the recent Flash musical episode (Why don't Melissa Benoist and Grant Gustin do a screwball musical comedy together? Why?) and go from there into a very detailed discussion of Yoko Kanno's incredible music on Cowboy Bebop.

Say - why don't ya go find us on iTunes? Okey doke.

DAC Episode 64: Logan a-Go-Gan

/

Hey everybody! Who wants to talk about Logan? More importantly, who wants to hear two guys who are kind of iffy on the X-Men movie franchise (except for The Last Stand and X-Men Origins: Wolverine, because those are undisputed greats) opine on the virtues of Logan? Adam notes that there may be parallels to Shane; Aidan waxes enthusiastic about Dafne Keen's bloodthirsty murder scream.

In the second half of the podcast Aidan and Adam talk about Equals, DAC's new ongoing series about guest stars on the 80s greatest retired-spy-vigilante television program, The Equalizer. Why are they doing this? They have no idea.

While you're here, you can also read our Hot Takes on Logan or our fanfic about Logan, Pierce and their shared love of monster trucks. Or ignore all that guff and just subscribe to the podcast on iTunes.

DAC Episode 63: A Good Week for Looking at Screens

/

It's a busy time for everyone here at the Destroy All Culture compound, but we managed to squeeze in some television. Up for discussion this week: a crackerjack episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.! An even crackerjacker episode of The Expanse! With an additional bit of talk on how Aidan didn't realize that the line "The Mississippi Delta was shining like a National guitar" was referring to an actual brand of guitar, thus ridding of the nagging 30 year old suspicion that Paul Simon meant to write "The Mississippi Delta was shining like a federally expropriated instrument" but got confused.

Listen or download below. Or find us on iTunes.

DAC Episode 62: Spectre of the Very Special Episode

/

Very Special Episodes? Is there any issue they can't tackle? Apparently, if you're Arrow and the issue is gun control, there is. Adam takes Arrow's latest episode apart and examines its approach to dealing with issues. After that they talk about other things. At the 17:34 mark, Aidan talks about the preference of tunnels to warehouses in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. But then! Then! Adam talks about his Freddy Krueger cardigan. The one problem: no pockets.
