Deep dives into art and media. We did five years dissecting Deep Space Nine with The Rules of Acquisition. Star Trek is overrated. We went in on David Lynch. That was fun. Now? Biding our time. It happens when it happens.

Unlocked: Megalopolis-Pilled

Nov 20 2024 72 mins

What is this? We, the three people who actually watched Megalopolis have something to say about our different experiences with this messy movie. Perhaps there's spoilers? But perhaps it doesn't matter. On the patreon you'll find more from election thoughts, to things you might actually be interested in, like Batman.https://patreon.com/kickersofelves

Resigned to a Star Trek Disco Inferno

Apr 29 2024 68 mins

You probably found this podcast feed because you're a fan of Star Trek. And if what our anecdotal evidence suggests is true, then you're not a fan of Star Trek Discovery. That's ok. Remember when James and Hugh got mad and bailed on that other podcast? Well it continued, and this is where A Discovery Home Companion ended up. Maybe you'll like it. Look for "Star Trek Resignation" i

The Herman Melville of Dumb Guys

Mar 01 2024 39 mins

Succesion is Over

Jun 10 2023 26 mins

Update: Hey, this file is longer than 30 seconds this time.*** Here we talk about the TV show we've been the most excited for in a while. Specifically, the finale. The statute of limitations is over. So yeah, spoilers for that. No space stuff, sorry. NOT from the patreon! But check it out. There's plenty over there. For instance: Ever read Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy? We d

Hear All, Trust Nothing (Lower Decks S3E06)

Oct 14 2022 57 mins

What about those Rules of Acquisition? It's back to Deep Space 9! What you haven't watched the most recent episode? "Hear All, Trust Nothing" is more or less an episode of DS9, so we had to cover it. If you haven't caught up on Star Trek: Lower Decks don't worry, neither have James or Hugh. What is goin on post Dominion War? Just when does this take place? How do Kira and Quark wor

So You Want to Roleplay? TTRPG Basics [Unlocked from the Patreon]

Aug 09 2022 56 mins

Know nothing about D&D or tabletop role playing games? Hugh talks to an expert* to figure out just what the deal is. How much is the past time growing? What is the history of D&D? Just how the hell do you play a game where you pretend to be an elf? Then a look at the Star Trek Adventures role playing game.

Strange New Tease

Jun 07 2022 2 mins

On the patreon: Hugh and James have opinions on Strange New Worlds! Wade Hasn't even seen it yet?! Here is a preamble to that discussion. More can be found at the patreon. https://patreon.com/kickersofelves

Getting Back to the Beatles

Mar 10 2022 48 mins

James and Hugh watched the Peter Jackson Beatles documentary on Disney + and there's a discussion on making art. Didn't watch it? That's ok, Wade didn't either. You like the Beatles, right? You guessed it: Patreon content! https://patreon.com/kickersofelves

More Bonus from the Patreon:Matrix, Tenet, Decline

Jan 26 2022 49 mins

Here's more from what we talk about at https://patreon.com/kickersofelves Matrix and Tenet, compared. And Spider-Man. And convoluted metaphors about art. And The View? A little culture talk. James has a delightful conspiracy theory. Who’s coming for the auteurs? Does culture need to decentralize? Can subcultures sustain us? The re-Lolapaloozing of Gen X. Spoilers I guess.

Bonus from the Patreon: A [mostly] Spoiler Free Succession Discussion

Dec 16 2021 17 mins

Miss the regular updates? Yes, I'm here reminding you again we update the patreon feed regularly. Wade has only seen one episode of Succession, so James and Hugh tread lightly to talk about what they like on the show every person seems to be talking about. Check out the patreon where we go into a longer discussion on current tv including: Joe Pera, Misconceptions about Ronald D.
