Happy 100th Episode to us! We've made it! And to celebrate this massive milestone, we're kicking off a brand new theme month, Satire September, with a movie that's as fitting for the occasion as it is brilliant: "The Truman Show." We're not entirely sure what having a 100th episode means, but we're excited to celebrate with all of you by talking about a movie that was so far ahead of its time, it's still playing catch-up.

This week, we're diving into Peter Weir's prophetic masterpiece. Both of us were honestly shocked by how well this film holds up and how incredibly relevant it still feels today. We'll be dissecting its clever commentary on reality television, surveillance culture, and our collective obsession with voyeurism. We'll also be talking about Jim Carrey's transformative performance and the film's ability to blend humor with genuine heartache.

If you're a long-time listener, a new fan, or just someone who wants to revisit a truly classic piece of cinema, then this is the episode for you. We're blending our celebratory mood with our usual casual banter, making this a thoughtful and fun look at a film that feels less like a satire and more like a documentary of our future. Thanks for celebrating 100 episodes with us! And in case we don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and good night!

Knights of the Drunk Podcast Knights of the Drunk Watch We drink and we watch things!We are the Knights of the Drunk Watch, a group of creative friends that get together each week to celebrate all the things you enjoy coupled with a stiff drink! Rosé All Day Anyways Erika Atkins & Katie Rainey Who are we? Just two nerdy creative-types who love spreadsheets as much as theatre camp and graffiti walls (not the kind you’re thinking, see def: arts education). But this podcast isn’t about that, or, wait, maybe it is? We’re not limiting ourselves. But rest assured, in this conversational cast, we’ll touch on everything from arts education to politics to boy bands and, of course, all things rosé. Erika Atkins & Katie Rainey are two hot messes who somehow manage to keep pretty good jobs, do a shit ton of community organizing, run their own businesses, make art, and still have time to watch The Bachelor and drink rosé. And, like, we totally know anyways isn’t grammatically correct. Go shout into a dictionary already. The Dragon's Flow Teacast The Dragon's Treasure and Analog Drift We are a group of like-minded individuals who like both tea and anime (and other nerdly things) and love to talk about both! Listen every week as we talk about the tea we drink and the anime we watch! Two or More Lee Gordon Maybe you’re a new believer and you have a ton of questions. Heck maybe you're pretty seasoned in it and still have them. Maybe you aren’t a believer at all and have them? That’s cool cause, so do we. Everyone has them. Questions like, should we drink? Should we smoke cigarettes or even marijuana if it gets fully legalized? What should we support and what should we not? Should we play violent video games, watch violent sporting events and wild movies? Should you eat that last doughnut? The list goes on. So let’s dive in and really try to come to some level of understanding together. Here, using the Bible first and an ample dash of comedy tossed in a witty rhetoric reduction, we, the average person, will do our best to talk about topics we as Christians will have as we navigate this thing called life. Questions that some of us may not feel comfortable talking about in our circles because of how it may appear to others. We can’t promise you that you can expect be smarter afterwards bu
