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 throw on their finest alligator shoes and slap The Expression on their faces as they take to the mean streets of Martinaise for ZA/UM’s political and existential triumph: Disco Elysium. Topics include the dense and fascinating history of the game world, the perfection of Kim Kitsuragi, and finding glimmers of disco in a world on the brink of annihilation.
**Spoiler Warning** If you want to experience every surprise Disco Elysium has to offer, you may want to play the game first. Trust us, your ancient reptilian brain will thank you. Well, first it will probably insult you, THEN it will thank you.
