On this episode, Josh discusses some ancient medical procedures that cure that old timey hysteria! Then Brett finally deep dives into one of the greatest shows ever made. It's time for a darkly comedic drama about a powerful, dysfunctional family's ruthless battle for control of their global media empire. The characters, writing, performances and cinematography have elevated this Murdoch-esque saga into an a masterpiece with the series: Succession.

On this episode, Brett regurgitates some of the most "creative" backronyms scientists have ever pieced together. (Sprites, Ghosts, Elves, etc.) But it's worth the trouble because upper-atmospheric lightening is fascinating. Then Josh deep dives into a Tom Clancy action classic with enough hyper-specific military jargon to justify his throbbing tactical boner. Set in the '90s, with "quaint" terrorists (that still apparently deserve red-misted skulls), the world-ending viral plot feels different in a post-Covid world. It's time for the thick but perfectly-paced novel: Rainbow Six.

On this episode, Josh discusses what is planned for the International Space Station in 2030. Hope you like fireworks! Then Brett pitches his unnumbered listicle for the best Patton Oswalt Cameos and Unique Performances. Turns out P.O. is in pretty much everything he likes. It's time for an unintentional sequel to CMDEs: POCUPs!

On this special 100th episode, Josh and Brett invite super fan and special guest Allister Booth to reflect on what it means to be a Contentologist (it's a real thing), the role Content plays in all our lives and what we are all currently engrossed in. Then Allister pitches some serious Contentology our way to (hopefully) become the world's fourth Contentologist. It's all about the 6'5" hitchhiker known for his honor, skills and athleticism: Jack Reach, no middle name.

On this episode, Brett discusses a bread-scanning AI software that ends up being repurposed to save lives identifying cancel cells. Not all AI is trying to kill us! ...yet. Then Josh laughs manically as Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Jon Sandman fall victim to one of the best/worst villains in video game history: Vaas Montenegro. Move over Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul because actor Michael Mando's most iconic role will forever be the video game baddie for a promotional YouTube "Film" that is way better than it should be: The Far Cry Experience.

On this episode, Josh discusses a video essay breakdown about The Walking Dead's Dr. Jenner of the CDC and his pro-moralist attempt at mercy killing non-zombified humans. Hey, we get it... the zombie apocalypse would be stressful but don't be such a dick, Edwin. Then Brett forgoes his usual content recommendation to deliver in important public service announcement about the dangers of a popular augmented reality mobile game. Just say NO to Pokémon GO!

On this episode, Brett tells the story of the real life Simpson's house and the marketing ploy gone wrong. Then Josh shows his love and respect for the greatness known as James Cameron. Or Jim, Jimbo, JC, whatever you want to call him. It's all about torturing your under-water victims/actors when it comes to capturing the challenging reality of under-water life. This is one lesser known James Cameron film that you've probably seen but it is time to revisit. It's time for more Content Clearinghouse sci-fi exultation with: The Abyss.

On this episode, Josh tells the story of clothes that we will maybe one day need to fool our robot overlords. We're not talking polka dots and plaid here... well, I guess we kind of are? Then Brett talks characters, cast, contradictions and humor while extolling the virtues of an action sci-fi cult classic from the '90s that people either love or hate: The Fifth Element. Why is "Milla Jovovich" so hard to pronounce?

On this episode, Brett tells the story of the best acceptance speech in Razzie history when Halle Berry accepted her award for her role in Catwoman. Then Josh ponders the future of space travel while discussing a show he has been talking about for literally years. He loves this sci-fi drama which blends fiction with history and not just because it stars Joel Kinnaman. What would happen if Russia beat us to the moon? Find out what probably would have happened by finally subscribing to Apple TV and binging: For All Mankind.
