    Embrace The Void

    Welcome friends, to a podcast for a darker timeline. Maybe the darkest of all timelines. Definitely not one of the good timelines. Maybe it’s always been a dark timeline, maybe the Hadron collider screwed us over. Science may never know. What we do know is that we live in the void. The void, a place where a chittering mass of void crabs can infest a person suit and win the presidency. The void, a place where we're just clever enough to know that climate change is happening, but not quite clever enough to do anything about it. The void seems terrible and cruel, but it loves you, in its own ironic way.

    Two friends have had a book club for a very very long time. It was mostly an excuse to drink and gossip. In January of 2016, they found renewed purpose in their sadness over the death of David Bowie. They decided to stop mucking around and actually get some reading done - from the list of books that he loved.

Episode Description

Send us a text

What if a summer blockbuster could transport you back to the 90s while feeling totally fresh and modern? Get ready for our lively discussion on "Twisters," the anticipated sequel that blends nostalgic action with contemporary twists. We'll break down standout scenes, including a clever fourth-wall break, and explore how today's influencer culture weaves seamlessly into the storm-chasing narrative. Plus, we can't help but chuckle at the idea of Glenn Powell running for president!

As we dissect "Twisters," you'll hear our thoughts on Daisy Edgar-Jones' and Glenn Powell's electrifying performances and the film's refreshing character dynamics. Expect honest takes on pacing, the emotional depth of disaster relief efforts, and the heart-pounding original soundtrack that has us pushing for some well-deserved Oscar recognition. Join us in celebrating director Lee Isaac Chung's transition from indie films to blockbuster territory and how his Midwest roots bring an authentic touch to the story.

But the fun doesn't stop there! We're thrilled to announce our upcoming "Garbage Night" event in Tacoma, Washington, where we'll screen the original "The Crow" on August 22nd. Picture a night filled with movie-watching, trivia, and interactive commentary—perfect for fans of awesomely bad movies. Mark your calendars and get ready for an unforgettable evening that celebrates both the charm of legacy sequels and the delightful quirks of cult classics.
