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.

Brian and A.J. slap on some red/green wristbands and summon a CGI penguin to help them solve the mystery of Kyle Killen’s cult TV one-season wonder: Awake. Topics include the absolutely wild premise, the advantages of casting two broadway legends as therapists, and the importance of taking big swings on network television.
