A comedic podcast where two friends head “back to school” to write little reports on big ideas. From science, to pop culture, to history. It’s kinda like study hall, but we’re really only here for extra credit.

And you even get the joy of telling everyone you’re about to sh…

Kelsi and Trey react and deep dive Alex Garland’s Civil War. While a technical feat, Civil War is politically unchallenging and lacks a nuanced confrontation as an anti-war movie. Thankfully, Kirsten Dunst as a hollowed photojournalist on this road trip to D.C. with her dynamic co-stars Wagner Moura, Cailee Spaeny, and Stephen McKinley Henderson ke…

Kelsi and Trey discuss the divisive and widely misinterpreted Alex Garland's Men. This surrealist folk horror film uses conventions of the genre to explore the perpetual exploitation of women; depicting an absurd-level of imagery and symbolism specific to patriarchal mythology and the horror genre born out of it. Garland's Men, much like Jordan Pee…

Kelsi and Trey discuss the maze of Alex Garland's Ex Machina. We explore how this sci-fi puzzle tests the audience by provoking questions about constructs, consciousness, selective empathy, and who is guilty of exploiting the power of artificial intelligence. We also talk about Oscar Isaac's dance moves, Domhnall Gleeson's weirdo enegy, and Alicia …

Kelsi and Trey explore the most emotionally compelling and gripping movie of 2023 in Anatomy of a Fall. The film is being interpreted as a courtroom thriller and a whodunit, but its subversive focus is on the societal pressures and expectations of women, mothers, monogamy—a brilliant interrogation of genre and constructs. Triet imposes imagination …

A long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, a bunch of bullshit words were said or not said prompting countless nerds and losers to catalog every single one of them. Yeah, that’s all you’re getting from us, reference-wise. Wookiepedia is a place where Star Wars detritus goes to live forever, sorted into categories such as “Legends” or “Canon” …

The process of childbearing/birth is something often described as a miracle. It’s little surprise then that people on the internet are turned on by it.

Kelsi and Trey discuss for almost 4 HOURS how 'Portrait of a Lady on Fire' is Céline Sciamma's highly successful attempt at subverting conventions across cinema, storytelling, and history at large.

Kelsi and Trey discuss the informal universe of Ridley Scott and Denis Villeneuve's project of Blade Runner set in a postmodern society where a few humans play god, consumerism is religion, and all of the human condition has been reduced to constructs and commodities. A lot to explore thematically with class and gender, as well as stylistically wit…

Porn comes in every variety in high volumes. You can’t shake a dick without finding someone who wants to help you cum. It’s so hard to know the good from the bad, though. There has to be a better way! Too bad all we have is members of the internet using their rudimentary writing skills to review porn games made in Ren’Py in an overly-serious fashio…

Kelsi and Trey discuss Martin Scorsese's best picture winner The Departed; a pretty extreme movie about identity and best enjoyed as an anxiety-inducing bleak comedy. We explore how its both Scorsese's messiest and possibly most rewatchable project. A cat-and-mouse thriller that devolves into a thematically complicated movie about assimilation; whe…

In part 4 of our exhilarating 5 part mini-series, we actually talk about The Street Fighter Code. It’s like The DaVinci Code. It also tries to answer the question “Who was Jesus, really?” This is why media literacy is important, people. There was a late change in editing that made the titles and art not line up with the content, but they’re already…

That media being the fighting game ser…

Kelsi and Trey recorded a 3 hour exploration of Paul Thomas Anderson's masterpiece 'Phantom Thread' starring Daniel Day-Lewis and Vicky Krieps. They discuss how the film is revered as a meditation on the cost of romance, a deconstruction of the tortured great man myth, and how Anderson subverts our genre expectations with suggestions of a post-war …

If there’s one thing that can be said about science and the internet as a whole, it’s that they have never tried to figured out just how penises work. It’s the big gaping hole in our biological and sociological knowledge and who better than a smattering of men obsessed with their nocturnal emissions to rectify the greatest mistake of history? The W…

Kelsi and Trey discuss Steven Spielberg's career, whether or not 'Catch Me If You Can' is his best movie of the 21st century, and if this is Leonardo DiCaprio's most dynamic performance. They explore the tonal complexities between this project being a cautionary tale of white privilege or a modern take on the romanticized rebel. Ultimately its fath…
