DAC Episode 133: Coming Around

Annnnd here is the episode where Adam catches up with The Magicians and finds himself grappling with the realization that it’s a much better show than the one he first encountered. We also discuss episode 4.06 and make some hilariously poor predictions about Penny’s character arc. Adam discusses the tragedy of flat-earthers. Doom Patrol introduces Animal Vegetable Mineral Man, to Adam and Aidan’s great delight. Plus: Whiskey Cavalier starring Lauren Cohan and TV’s Scott Foley? Sure, why not.

DAC Episode 130: Anniversaries

Check it out folks: in this installment of Destroy All Culture, we discuss the 150th episode of Arrow (it wasn’t great) and the 300th episode of Supernatural (it was indeed great). The subtext: how the hell has Arrow been on for 150 episodes? The context: stealthily but steadily, time steals our lives from us, one episode of Arrow at a time. Okay! Listen below or find us on iTunes.

DAC Episode 128: The Truth About Quincy

Welcome listeners. What is the truth of Quincy M.E., avec Jack Klugman? We don’t have truth per se, but we do have a hell of a lot of weird Windows-based jokes about a medical drama from the ‘80s. If you can get past that, we pick through episodes 10-13 of Young Justice. Then there’s the first 15 minutes of Polar. Yikes. Listen and download below, or find us on iTunes.

DAC Episode 127: "It Seemed Harmless"

Welcome to episode 127 of Destroy All Culture, wherein Adam finally catches up with every single episode of Psych, and he regrets his choices in life. Then we get into the real meat of Young Justice, with a lengthy discussion of third season Young Justice, eps 7-9. And that stuff is a doozy. A dooooozy. Also, the pilot episode of The Passage was pretty bad, according to Aidan. He’s right.

DAC Episode 126: All The Good Stuff

Welcome to your friend and ours, Destroy All Culture. Today your friend would like to tell you about the Doctor Who New Years Special and why it was such a great capstone for a new season with a new Doctor. But that’s not all! Your friend is particularly keen on getting into the first three episodes of Young Justice. Plus there’s discussion on morality and liberalism in The Good Place. Yowzah! Listen below or find your friend on iTunes or your podcatcher of choice.

DAC Episode 125: Dead Networks and Bird Boxes

Welcome to Destroy All Culture Episode 125, your only source of Destroy All Culture. Adam and Aidan start off with fond memories of platforms past, including a brief primer on how to pronounce Xanga, followed by a patient and exacting autopsy of Bird Box. The rest of the episode is spent being very excited about the all the cool stuff coming up in 2019. Join us! Listen below or find us on iTunes or podcatcher of your choice.

DAC Episode 123: No cake at the Cake concert

Welcome! Adam went to the Cake concert. Where, as it turned out, you can’t get cake. Also, Cake is old now. And Adam is old. We’re all old! This is the podcast where we talk about DC’s Elseworlds crossover, as well as the hilarious insanity of Legends of Tomorrow’s mid-season finale. Plus a long and embarrassingly fannish discussion of Into the Spiderverse. Listen below, or find us on your iTunes of choice.

DAC Episode 122: The End of Marvel Netflix and so on

Good afternoon. In today’s episode of Destroy All Culture, Adam and Aidan dissect the inherent weirdness of IP in the days of Netflix and Disney and the streamageddon. Is it, in some strange way, an outgrowth of how rights work in the comics trenches? Is it? Well, no. But we sure like talking about rights. And speaking of rights, Aidan watched Venom

DAC Episode 121: Happy 2019!

After at least five years of wading through 2018, the next year has finally arrived. Although not on the latest Destroy All Culture, where we’re still barreling through December. But we’re talking about time travel ‘tainment, so maybe it feels like this is being broadcast (podcast?) to you from the present? I dunno. Legends of Tomorrow, Timeless, Doctor Who and Grey’s Anatomy. Okay, not Grey’s Anatomy. But Aidan does fill Adam in on the continuity errors and astonishing laziness of A Christmas Prince 2.

DAC Episode 120: Between here and there

It’s that strange interregnum between Christmas and New Year’s, and what is there to do? Listlessly plunk chunks of turkey on ghost-white slices of Wonder Bread and groan in overstuffed agony? Flip through that book your family got you and silently confirm that you will never actually read it? Inspect your new iPad Pro for curvature and experience a pang of disappointment that it’s factory-default perfect? Here at Destroy All Culture, we recommend you set aside your holiday woes and listen to an episode of Destroy All Culture. Available on iTunes or click on the play button below. Enjoy!

DAC Episode 119: A Psychically Weird Week

Hey all. It’s psychically weird time for everyone, but on this episode of Destroy All Culture, Adam and Aidan are mulling over the results of the midterm elections (remember those?). On the other side of politics, though, there’s plenty of pop culture things to talk about. For example, there was Adam Sandler’s strange stand-up special, which Adam saw and Aidan did not; there’s discussion of the structure of The Good Place’s comedy; and we go over the historically themed “Demons of the Punjab” episode of Doctor Who. Plus more! Find us on iTunes or listen below, why dontcha.

DAC Episode 118: The Agony of the Peak

Sometimes, here on Destroy All Culture, we double down on an idea or a theme and really explore its ramifications. And sometimes we talk about the stuff we watched. And when our engines are really singing, we get to do both. Is this one of those episodes? I dunno, but we put it on the internet for your enterainment. We speculate whether Riverdale’s third season will go down the supernatural or Scoobie-doo path, discuss Supergirl’s treatment of fascism, and generally chew on the usual run of CW shows. Enjoy! Listen below or find us on iTunes or your podcaster of choice.

DAC 117: Back with the Arrowverse

Welcome back to Destroy All Culture. It’s the episode where we welcome back the onslaught of CW DC etceteras. We also go on about Daredevil, blissfully unaware that it’s headed for the chopping block along with the rest of the Marvel Netflix canon. And - as a bonus - we discuss some of the more uncertain comic moments in the third season of The Good Place. Enjoy! Listen below or find us on iTunes.

DAC Episode 116: Too Late To Stop This Train Now

As I write, we approach the midseason break in all our favourite shows, but in the ur-time of Destroy All Culture, it’s the beginning of television’s fall season. Adam fills Aidan in on the glorious nerdbait of the latest season of Flash; Supernatural is doing its supernatural thing (still!); Riverdale is back, more shirtless and homoerotic than ever; and Aidan, for his sins, reports back on the first episode of Titans. So there you go!

Hey, that was fun to describe. Maybe it would be even more fun to listen to! Try it out below or find us on iTunes.
