  • Why Is Modern Architecture So Boring? An Investigation In American Exceptionalism (Part 1 of 2)

    Why Is Modern Architecture So Boring? An Investigation In American Exceptionalism (Part 1 of 2)
    Sep 19 2026

    It's grey, it's ugly, we don't know which is worse! We might just roll our eyes--and if we don't, we'll laugh at first! For anyone who caught that reference, you would benefit from looking into the works of "Screamin' Jay Hawkins." Meanwhile, we can't even be bothered to look up at our city skylines for what they are, given how litle effort the designers seemed to put in them. WHY must they look like bad Lego sets? WHY has history directed our buildings in this direction? Are the communists involved, are they?

    No, of course not. But they did coin a little term known as American Exceptionalism, which essentially means, you look as good as you feel. If you feel great, your buildings will match that. But if you're a good fifty pounds overweight with a bald spot, a mole on your eyebrow, and you have money (and love to make more of it!) then you may neglect your health. We are what we eat just as we are what we see.

  • Stranger Things Have Happened - The Inevitable Review

    Stranger Things Have Happened - The Inevitable Review
    Feb 3 2026

    It was bound to happen sooner or later. For a long time we've put off reviews (all the good stuff is rated R or NR, let's not pretend it isn't) but seeing as Stranger Things Season Five is over and done, we might as well discuss all the nonsense that's happened in Hawkins, Indiana over the last ten years. Chase is over the moon the whole time while Blake...well, you'll hear from him.


    In addition: CONFORMITY GATE! Because every conspiracy since Nixon needs to have "gate" in the title somewhere; Blake and Chase discuss said theories (in which the former does so with full abrasion). Has anyone seen Pierrot Le Fou? Anyone? Anyone?! We forget if the guy blows himself up in the end in the book.


    Seeing as Stranger Things was wannabe horror without being about horror at all (as many PG-13 80s works were) the [BRIEF] topic of what medics and scientists have referred to as Total Facial Avulsion, according to the Web. Putting it bluntly, Blake floats the suggestion that the Demogorgons are probably sliding faces off like banana peels! He doesn't go into much detail--we have Chase to thank for that--but it's just a delicate warning, Horace. Listen Now!

  • What Does It Mean To Be An American?

    What Does It Mean To Be An American?
    Dec 23 2025

    In this episode, Blake & Chase discuss what it means to be an American. Is this a political podcast? No. Will we be discussing immigration? Vaguely, but no! Besides, it seems like everything from what you were doing on your phone prior to seeing this episode appear to what you ate for breakfast has some "political ramification" attached to it...people are getting stranger and stranger out there, folks.

    Blake spends the next 90 minutes arguing that citizenship is the only reasonable factor for determining what makes an American an American, while Chase spends the entire episode fundamentally disagreeing with his (well documented!) argument, and expresses his views on a nation's sprit, nationalism, and debunks the notion of what it means for America to be a nation of immigrants. This is the most political we've gotten so far, so we're treading water. Listen now--preferably on the dry shore.
