We recorded this episode on Monday, November 5th, right before the U.S. Presidential Election Dear Listeners, yet, rather than seeming dated, it feels more timely than ever as we navigate choppy waters ahead. In this episode Jett and Gareth both revel in Conclave, a high-end, well-produced slice of the best cheese one can enjoy, that, interestingly, shows a potential way forward towards a more just and compassionate world, and remincese about the wonderful performances of the late, (though still with us), Teri Garr. Along the way something near-miraculous happens to Jett at a screening. Enjoy.

Why don’t film critics address the meaning of the movies they watch Dear Listener? We say enough with the horse race and the box office numbers. To that end, on this episode, Jett and Gareth get into what the new Joker film actually seems to be saying about human nature and the brokenness within it. Along the way Terrance Malick’s The Thin Red Line is referenced, Sidney Lumet’s magnificent The Verdict is invoked, a TikTok creator is recommended, science fiction classic Forbidden Planet is manifested and we realize we must all “first accept, then luxuriate”. Enjoy.

On a fundamental level Megalopolis wants to start a conversation about the nature of creativity, about the difference between creation and destruction. At least that’s what many humans think, but what do the machines think, if they think at all? To explore this, Jett and Gareth turn over their carbon-based selves to the silicon avatars of the now. Enjoy.
