We’re back and talking about a new season of a Star Wars series, the latest episode of Daredevil, and the sad passing of Val Kilmer. We’re also talking about Trump‘s tariffs and what they’ve done to the stock market, JD Vance claiming that the United States is powerless to retrieve a wrongfully deported person from an El Salvadorean super prison, and the elections in Wisconsin and Florida, at least one of which brought good news. Before we wrap it all up, we talk about The Studio – a new series on Apple TV and the next season of The Last of Us. All of this and more, and we’re still going on about that. Recorded on April 3, 2025.

We’re talking about the return of Daredevil, another great episode of Severance, and a pretty good new show called Running Point before shifting gears and talking about Trump betraying our allies in Ukraine, Trump‘s horrible speech in front of Congress, the Democrat’s tepid and disappointing response, and the tearing down of American government. We’re also talking about some efforts abroad to strike back at Elon Musk and Tesla, as well as the resurgence of measles in states like Texas and Florida. We’re only a month or so in, and it’s already far worse than many of us thought it would be, and we’re still going on about that. Recorded on March 6, 2025.

After that, we talk about the rapid disintegration of American government, led by Trump and Musk, and the recent wave of angry voters attending town-halls and demanding answers from indifferent and entitled GOP congresspersons.

We’re back and talking briefly about the return of Severance before talking a little more at length about the movie “A different man.” But the real headlines here are the horrible troll parade Trump inauguration, Trump‘s string of unconstitutional executive actions, and the way Trump pardoned a whole bunch of violent terrorists and cop killers. Looking forward to another four years of this? Yeah, neither are we. All this plus Elon Musk‘s weirdo Nazi salute, and Vivek Ramaswamy’s decision to run for governor of Mordor. It’s only been a few days, and we’re still going on about that. Recorded on January 23, 2025.
