The first and only podcast bringing you weekly case studies in the pop culture of a dying empire. Every Wednesday, co-hosts Josh, Brian, and A.J. dissect an artifact of popular culture, breaking down how its narrative choices reflect or subvert the reactionary political project. From video games to movies to theater to an apparently infinite supply of evangelical Christian radio drama, we expose the machinations of the worst of all possible worlds in order to figure out how to build a better one. Also, we have bits.

The lads hide their demon marks and move their shoulders to Sodapop as they cover Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans’ 2025 musical megahit: KPop Demon Hunters. Topics include the origins of KPop, the frustrating narrative choices, and the absolute joy of watching a group of demon slayers cap off a successful hunt with some much deserved couch time.
