  • Ep. 6 - Older (and Wiser) by Lizzie McAlpine
    Jan 10 2025

    Well, it’s been a fun ride. After 5 Shred-pisode’s and 2 mini-shreds, our mighty media empire crumbles before our very eyes… and it’s all because we don’t enjoy Lizzy McAlpine’s “Older (and Wiser)” to the same magnitude. Why would Levi sabotage us like this? Did he want the cast to end? Is it because he hasn’t emotionally recovered from watching “The Whale”? I mean, if we don’t have the exact same opinions on what we talk about, what’s even the point?

    Tune in to hear the vitriolic, venom filled back and forth about the merits of an artist who finally gets to create a piece of art that reflects the inner turmoil of a failing relationship and how her own sense of self changes throughout without the interference of a Record Label looking to pump out TikTok soundbites for kids to put behind planking photo montages or whatever those little idiots are doing.

    Let our tombstone read:

    RIP Existential Shred (2024 - 2025)

    “In the path of righteousness is life, and in its pathway there is no death.”

  • Our Favorite Music Releases of 2024
    Jan 3 2025
    It’s that time of the year again where in order to safely complete the last leg of our rotation around the Sun, we must lull the Sun into a state of unassuming bliss by compiling lists of all of our favorite things that happened during this rotation. Which, of course, we know is what has kept it from initiating the “Red Giant Phase” of its life cycle and completely destroying every last trace that we ever were and ensuring that we will never be again. We’re doing our part here at Existential Shred by offering up another off week episode dedicated to our favorite musical releases of 2024 to the almighty Sun deity. About halfway through Levi’s dogs Molly and Ruby also start chiming in from the yard outside, so apologies for that. They don’t understand that out of the almost 7,000 languages spoken here on Earth, the Sun doesn’t quite understand dog.

  • Ep. 5 - The Whale
    Dec 27 2024
    Strap in Ishmael, on today’s episode we talk about “The Whale or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love The Bird” which is the latest entry in Darren Aronofsky’s long line of films that are known, for various reasons, to elicit extremely visceral reactions from the audience. Charlie, our main character and a recluse college writing instructor, is likely living the last week of his life. Before it’s over he is visited by an End Time’s religious missionary, a pizza delivery man named Dan, and his estranged teenage daughter. Tragedy, mystery, and redemption are the main drivers of this unfortunate slice of life we are given the opportunity to take a look into. From its beginnings as a single set stage play to its 10 year transformation into a single set movie we’ll discuss how this movie came to be, some technical aspects of the filmmaking process, and even dive into some symbolic analysis of the movie’s most interesting character… a bird.
