Brett talks feral kids on this episode... probably not surprising but the reality of the "real-life Mowgli" did not have the happy life or Hollywood ending portrayed in Disney's The Jungle Book, content inspired by the feral child Dina Sanichar. Josh then gets into conspiracies, war profiteering, future tech and all the things that make sci-fi both awesome and terrifying. He's discussing (and highly recommending!) Linda Nagata's book trilogy: The Red.

Josh and Brett discuss behind-the-scenes stories related to Jurassic Park's hydraulic Tyrannosaurus rex and it's scares both on and off screen. Then Brett tackles "background" content that is so prevalent, it's well-known twists and laughs are memorable and yet rarely thought of as an entertainment genre of its own. We're keeping this reveal a surprise (à la Nolan and his unreliable narrator style) so today we're just calling this piece: CMDEs.

Will your cute little kitty cat consume your corpse? On today's episode, we discuss this morbid but surprisingly popular question. Chances are, you already know the answer. Spoiler alert, it's "yes." Then Josh talks "biters," "walkers" and "lurkers" while discussing the long-running cultural phenomenon that mainstream audiences (plus seemingly the internet) has turned its collective back on: The Walking Dead.

On today's episode, Josh takes another long, hard look at famous UFO/UAP footage due to the convincing skeptical VFX experts attempting to find a more down-to-earth explanation for the anomalous objects caught on film. Josh... how dare you doubt the obvious fact: extraterrestrials are here! Then Brett tackles a book that's been on his list for awhile, one that shockingly not everyone has read, yet. This incredible piece of literature has had an enormous impact on the world and undoubtedly every single person who has consumed this content has been changed in some significant way. The author tells his real-life story, one of a psychiatrist who ends up in WWII concentrations camps, looking for meaning despite being surrounded be seemingly nothing but suffering and death. We're discussing Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl.

How can Coca-Cola make you millionaire? Well if it's the 1920s and you're in Quincy, Florida, I'd go ahead and take that investment advice from your banker Pat. After the podcast's shortest ever off-top, Josh brings the heat with a triple feature triple threat! These three terrifying thrillers don't feature your run-of-the-mill ghost, alien or boogeyman ... these films truly petrify because they star our real-life monsters that lurk in the woods, under water or worst of all: Florida. So get ready to take off to terror-land with some thrills that are eerily grounded with Backcountry, The Reef and Crawl. It's time for Josh's Monster Movie Triple Feature!

On today's episode, Josh gets into Disney's Spiderman robots, Jeff Bezos' big ol' rocket and we even do some chit-chatting about his weekly off-top topic of discussions, old times pistol dueling and the (almost) Olympic status the sport achieved. After that, Brett offloads his fervent and only partially organized thoughts about what a naughty man Walt is... a fact only clear to Brett after a second viewing of one of the infamous Neo-western crime dramas (and one of the best television shows to date). It just so happens that the bylaws in the contentology contract clearly communicate the conditions of a consecutive cumulative rewatch when it comes to content of a such a celebrated standing and as contentologists, we heed the call. We're talking Vince Gilligan's masterpiece: Brettking Bad. Oops, that's a typo. We mean Breaking Bad.

Aaaand we're back! After catching up, Brett discusses sound baths and specifically the GONG: the ultimate noise maker for producing healing vibrations to bathe in. Then Josh gets into not ONE piece of content, but the entire content library from one of his favorite writers that he can't (and won't!) stop talking about (and for good reason). Gravity belts, angel teeth and realistic skydiving moments... this week is all about the author: Daniel Suarez.

We've all heard Quentin Tarantino is passionate about more than just making great films... he loves feet, cocaine and connecting his movie universes with plenty of easter eggs. On this week's episode, Josh explores the tangled web of the "Tarantino-verse," a place few would be keen to visit. Brett then tackles some fantastic educational content known for asking big questions while still keeping a focus on minimalism. Check out the stunning animation and binge-worthy big-brained deep dives with the YouTube Channel: Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell.

It's hot one in Brownsville, Texas! When is it not?! We somehow manage to push through it so that we can continue our most important mission in life: delivering content recommendations indirectly into your earholes. On second thought, this "we" is really just "me" because Josh was sitting in an air conditioned house in Colorado, the way God intended. I'm so warm. Someone send help. So on this week's off-top, we bring you an inspiring personal story from local Colorado skydiver Jim Armstrong. Despite (or maybe because of?) his battles with depression, Jim decided to GO JUMP OUT OF A FUCKING PLANE... his words, not mine. After watching video of a wingsuit BASE jumper on YouTube, a clip he suspected might actually be a digitally edited fake, Jim was soon preparing for his first tandem at 52 years old. I have the pleasure of jumping with him regularly and can personally attest: Jim is a bonafide badass. I know our listeners will appreciate his candid honesty; we sure did! After that, Josh looks past the glitches (and even embraces some) while playing and discussing a newer piece of content that was widely anticipated, well over-hyped and a catalyst for Covid-era video game drama. This week is all about the cybernetically enhanced characters and the detailed dystopian world that makes up the game: Cyberpunk 2077.
