EPISODE 13: The World If Aerosmith Didn't Exist

EPISODE 11: Could be worse. Could be raining.

EPISODE 9: The One That Got Away
In this episode, Nat and Ian discuss part 4 of ZSJL, Change Machine, and try and figure out why no one thought to jot down the coordinates of the only planet ever to defeat Darkseid -- and that also happened to contain the anti-life equation.
EPISODE 8: David Roth and Grant Brisbee
This is definitely our best sounding episode to date; both Grant and David are seasoned professionals with fancy microphones. Also, neither of them have seen the Snyder Cut, but we still managed to talk about it for an hour, and it was hilarious! (See accompanying photo for proof.) GRANT BRISBEE founded McCovey Chronicles and is now a staff writer at The Athletic. He has not seen Justice League. DAVID ROTH is a founder of the Defector and is the nation's foremost authority on former president Donald J. Trump. He has not yet seen Justice League. Intro and interstitial music by Interesting Times Gang. Outro music by Extreme.
EPISODE 7: The Tip of the Tip
Here in part 3, we get the Cyborg origin story in all its megatronic and organic glory. There's also a 45-minute long Wonder Woman monologue and we get to sit in on an intergalactic conference call to Apokalips.
EPISODE 6: Chris Wade
Chris Wade is podcast royalty: co-host of Infinite Cast and And Introducing, and producer/fifth mic on Chapo Trap House. Chris has some great insights on the Snyder Cut and the online campaign that brought it into being. We also discuss the score and soundtrack and Chris' non-Chapo work.
Episode 5: A Golden Age of Heroes
What on earth did Nat mean when he said this movie represented the end of Western hegemony? You gotta listen to find out! In this 5th installment of the show, the boys break down Part 2 of ZSJL, "The Age of Heroes." Spoiler: it's bad.
Episode 4: His Grandiosity Is His Undoing
We're thrilled to bring you our first interview episode, with film luminary Eileen Jones. Jones is the author of Filmsuck, USA, host of the Filmsuck podcast, and film critic at Jacobin. We asked Eileen to help us understand why ZSJL is so singularly bad, which she did. Read Eileen's Justice League review here.
Episode 3: The Strong Podcast Is Strongest Alone
Nat and Ian take on Part 1 of ZSJL: "Don't Count On It, Batman." We meet the first of our drywall-punching heroes, wax nostalgic about business card design and Arthur, and muse on Zack's apparent inability to grasp the most basic storytelling precepts. As always, music by Interesting Times Gang
Episode 2: Hollywood Vampires
Ian and Nat recap the opening credit sequence of The Snyder Cut. It's 9 minutes, but we managed to talk about it for over an hour. At this rate, recapping the entire film will take upwards of an entire day. So strap in. Music by Interesting Times Gang.
Episode 1: Am I a provocateur? A little bit.
Welcome to the inaugural episode of Miscarriage of Justice: The Snyder Cut, the DCEU, and the End of American Empire. Your hosts, Nat and Ian, will break down the film, part by interminable part, with their own brand of witty repartee and leftist cultural insight. In future episodes we’ll have guests on to discuss the film, its roots, and its cultural impact. We’ll point out Snyder’s most egregious mistakes as well as the rare times he gets stuff right. It’s gonna be a fun time.
