New Ideas with Ross Godwin

Returning champion Ross Godwin is back on the show and we're here to try out (and discuss) some new ideas! We try out three new segment ideas for the show, and we have a whole bunch of laughs along the way. Topics include John Thune, Cool Girls for Capitalism, Donkey Kong, Star Trek (and the Tholians), and Revenge of the Sith. All of that, plus, Frank does another reading from his LiveJournal!

How to Win the Culture War with Navi

It's our first full video episode on YouTube (available here [https://youtu.be/kFLz_HCL5YI])! Navi joins the show to talk about their zine: "Artists! We are Losing the Culture War!" What does it mean that we're losing the Culture War? What are the stakes? We discuss the ground level effects of the Culture War, the performance of politics as protest, growing up on the internet, all art as propaganda, and much much more.

Rachel Ricci Dismantles "Cars"

Ka-chow! Frank's sister Rachel Ricci joins the show to discuss the 2006 Pixar film Cars. Frank and Rachel discuss how the Cars have teeth and tongues, the Elvis car, and ponder whether there is a God in the Cars universe. As a bonus, Rachel also shares a summary of a romance novel that she read recently that dares to ask the question: What if you fell in love with (and made love to) the Loch Ness Monster? It's the episode that will have you saying, "Get 'er done!"
