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.

On this episode, Josh tells a terrifying story of a real-life caving accident with a deceptively adorable name. Then Brett is joined by his partner and the world's fourth Contentologist to pitch a show that has succeeded where America has failed. (The American Public Sex Education curriculum has failed us.) It's time for a lot of dong talk and vulva talk with this British teenage coming-of-age comedy drama: Sex Education.

On this episode, Brett brings more explosions to the off-top with the fascinating story about a manhole cover being blown into space with an underground nuke. Then Josh sharpens his samurai sword AND his Japanese pronunciations for this episode about an incredible Playstation exclusive open-world role-playing game that inspires some contemplation about the violent history humanity shares. Also on this episode, cherry blossoms. It's time for the action-adventure video game for Sucker Punch Productions: Ghost of Tsushima.

On this episode, Josh discusses the high speed (aka slow motion) video of a shoulder launched ballistic rocket exploding next to someone's head and the lucky content creator who survived. And then Brett snubs the Emmy's who snubbed this incredible dark comedy legal crime drama prequel sequel origin story hit television series about a Breaking Bad favorite character. Too many adjectives you say? It's all good man! We're talking about the show: Better Call Saul.

On this episode, Brett discusses the "aesthetic chills" or "skin orgasm" phenomenon more formerly known as Frisson. Then Josh extolls the virtues of blood geysers and explains pencil mileage in this episode that's all about how the video game inspired the TV show which in turn inspired people to play the video game again. We're discussing the futuristic dystopian sci-fi anime Netflix Series Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.

On this episode, Josh discusses a fascinating experiment Carl Sagan convinced NASA to perform... a study to find life on earth! Then Brett discovers his latent lust for grid-based game while discussing The NY Times game which became a post-covid phenomenon despite its unlikely origin story.

On this episode, Brett helps himself to another serving of an obscure and old-timey aviation world record that somehow stands to this day, 64 years ago! No word on what happened to the poop. Then Josh fills eagerly awaiting earholes with a passionate diatribe about the unclassifiable musical mavericks who take genre-blending to heavenly heights. This isn't your grandmother's alt-rock group. (Or maybe it is?) This episode is all about the introspective and boundary-pushing band: twenty one pilots.

On this episode, Josh pokes fun at his favorite two-dimensional conspiracy theory and the colorful community who advocates for it against all odds and logic... yes, he's talking about flat-earthers. (He also tries to convince everyone Brett is a flat-earther which is wildly untrue and outlandish! How dare he!) Brett then plunges us into the chilling personal narratives of a dystopian war that feels eerily plausible, particularly in a world still reeling from the Covid era. This isn't your run-of-the-mill zombie fiction, it's the gripping, end-times narrative of World War Z. (If it was not already clear, we're dissecting the BOOK here, not its less-than-stellar cinematic counterpart.)
