We’re back with our Sacred Texts series, and we’re discussing Spirited Away (2001). Miyazaki’s animated hit was  the highest-grossing film in Japanese history until 2020’s Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train, which is in and of itself a massive accomplishment. But today, we’re getting personal. Madison tells us why this movie has stuck with him over the years, and solidified itself as a proper Sacred Text.

Grip, aero, speed, fuel, downforce, weight…All elements that have to be accounted for when it comes to racing in Formula 1 . For today’s guest Olly Self, they’re all pieces of a puzzle he tries every day to solve as a Senior Design Engineer at Williams Racing.

Though he’s recently worked with the engine systems group, Olly also designed the current Williams jack, and he’s previously worked with hydraulics and teams. Olly is living p...

Our Sacred Texts series continues this month with one of Tristan's most beloved of all movies, The Fountain (2006). Darren Aronofsky's quizzically complex story about a surgeon who's losing his wife and fighting to find a cure, which includes a story of conquistadors and a space bubble fit for an art gallery, is one to watch for anyone willing to grapple with the film.

Sacred Texts can be art in any medium that you inter...

No decade has caught hold of our need and love for nostalgia like the 1980’s. Lucky for you, Will Padilla and his crew at 1980s Now are hosting a show that’s as entertaining as it is informative to learn about, revisit, and dig into all there is to love about the 80s.

Whether we’re talking about reality and history, or the rose-colored glasses with which we memorialize the decade, the clothing, movies, and music of the era, it’s a d...

We're off this week since Tristan's getting married, but we're giving you a sneak peek of next week's show with Will Padilla of 1980s Now.

The 1980s are alive and well, and be sure you share today's sneak peek with anyone hoping to find a great podcast discussing the decade.

We’re back with our Your Friends & Neighbors watchalong series for the season finale! Episode 9 – “Everything Becomes Symbol and Irony.” We’ve got to figure out who really killed Paul, who we are as human beings, and who deserves their own voiceover.

The hit Apple TV+ series follows Jon Hamm as Coop, his fall from grace, and how desperation drives him to misappropriation.

Enjoy today’s episode, and if you hadn’t yet, make ...

We’re continuing our Sacred Texts series with one of Madison’s (and Tristan’s) favorites, Interstellar (2014). Christopher Nolan’s space epic may include tesseracts and scientifically-accurate black holes, but it’s more than a space adventure. We dig into love, fatherhood, environmentalist issues, and what it means to be homo sapiens in our quest to explore.

Sacred Texts can be art in any medium that you internalize, reflect upon, a...

Your Friends & Neighbors Ep. 8 - When DID We Become THESE People?!? – E134

We’re back with our Your Friends & Neighbors watchalong series for Episode 8 – “When Did We Become These People?” Coop gets bailed out, Elena pays off a debt, and Mel and Sam have a confrontation in a coffee shop that ends in tears. The stakes are raised, the tensions heightened, and the emotions have never been more raw.

The hit Apple TV+ series follo...

We’ve got a preview-review coming in hot, as Madison screened the newest of the Mission: Impossible films, and he’s got something to say: GO SEE IT.

The 8th installment, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning has as much punctuation in its title as it has heart-pounding stunts, action, and tie-ins from the previous seven films. You can’t hate Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt, and you have cheer for every heroic move he makes in this film...

The finale is here! Dave Franco brings us up to speed while he’s on…well, some combination of substances. We recap the final episode of The Studio this season, and good news: The Studio has been renewed for Season 2 already!

From the minds of Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, it’s a show about a newly appointed studio head, movies, TV, and everything in between. For fans of Hollywood, comedy, and good television, this show is for you!

Rebellions are built on hope, and good television is built on masterful screenwriting. Andor Season 2 reminds us what makes the Star Wars universe so special: cultural relevance played out among the planets and people not so different from ourselves.

Tony Gilroy and his creative team brought the world a masterclass in storytelling in what could be deemed an unlikely vehicle. Like so many others, we wondered when Andor was announced ...

We’re back with our Your Friends & Neighbors watchalong series for Episode 7 – “The First Honest Thing.” The clock is ticking, and Coop’s injuries didn’t tickle. An angry Barney is justified in rejecting Coop’s weak apology, and the cops aren’t accepting his story either. A big funeral, some afternoon delight, and a callback partially paid off puts our protagonist in a particularly tough spot.

This new Apple TV+ series follows J...

What happens in Vegas…could sink Continental Studios?!? No pressure though. Matt, Sal, Quinn, Maya, Patty, Petra, Tyler, Nick Stoller, and Griffin Mill head to Las Vegas for CinemaCon, the largest and most important annual gathering of movie theater owners from around the world. A shocking secret eats away at Matt as his “old school Hollywood buffet” could spell disaster for the partygoers.
