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 hop in their Chron-O-Johns and do battle with the diabolical Purple Tentacle as they tackle the intricate puzzlebox that is LucasArts’ landmark comedy-adventure game: Day of the Tentacle. Topics include the origins of LucasArts, the cartoon logic of the puzzles, and the fierce originality of one of the funniest adventure games ever made.
