The Murder of Sheridan Gorman w/ Rachel Siegel

The Murder of Sheridan Gorman w/ Rachel Siegel

Tic'd Off

In which Thomas and I discuss the BAFTAs/Tourette's incident and the broader cultural implications of the controversy. We also discuss online self-improvement stuff and the utility (or futility) of right-wing social groups.

Red, White, and Chicago Blue w/ James Conrad

In which we discuss all things Chicago including the CTU, the CPD, Jon Burge, the titans who build the city, and the changes in Chicago's character in recent times. We also discuss immigration politics, including the Minnesota fraud scandal, the Catholic Church's role in mass migration, and the Hart-Cellar Act.

Stop Asian Hate w/ Kim Chee

In which myself and the lovely Kim Chee discuss living in Chicago as a Republican, the LA riots, transracial adoption, the COVID era, and other topics.

Four Neo-Pagan Movies w/ Gunton Blurpus

In which we discuss The Wicker Man (1973), the remake of the Wicker Man (2006), The Wicker Tree (2011) and Midsommar (2019). I haven't checked but I think we're the first ones to do a pod about all these movies at once and connect what I think are their obviously related themes like gender roles, the relationship between neo-paganism and modern Christianity, and the tension between a dominant society's obligation to respect secluded cultures and their obligation to assert their own values.
