Friendsgiving 2019

In this episode, we are joined by many returning guests, including Joe Jackowski, Nick Buegel, and Jordan Criss. As this is a Friendsgiving episode, we recorded it before we had our yearly get together. We cover a wide area of topics and try to get an update on what everyone has been working on, but we quickly dive into deeper waters. We start our conversation with Jordan's recent exploration into Aaron Sorkin. From there, we have a broader dialogue on how fame and power affect people. We then ask what art is - using Kanye West as an example. The discussion on Art then turns toward a discussion on self-expression and vulnerability. One of the last topics we talk about is the philosophy of Jean-Paul Sartre. Then we finally close with what Nick and Joe have currently working on.

Joseph Spangler on Film, Superheroes, and Stan Lee

In this episode of the podcast, we have Joseph Spangler. Joseph is a massive fan of all things films and currently co-runs (along with his very awesome friend Alex) a film discussion Youtube channel named TicketStubs. This love of film ties in perfectly with another of Joseph’s interests: superheroes. Superhero franchises are undoubtedly more popular than ever, and he loves every second of it. One of his proudest accolades as a film and superhero fan is seeing Captain America: The Winter Soldier (his favorite MCU film)... 7 times in theaters.
