The spectacular year in horror, TV, and more - The Upstream Podcast
December 21, 2018 05:10 - 51 minutes - 46.9 MBThe Upstream podcast is back, baby. And we're ready to try to remember our favorite movies, TV shows, and memes of 2018, a year that felt very long indeed. Like Toni Collette in Hereditary, sometimes we just had to scream-face it out. Speaking of Hereditary, our esteemed panel will discuss that remarkable and consuming film, which had a lot of us reading the Wikipedia entry before heading to the theater. It was a great year for horror, despite baffling arguments to the contrary: We also dis...

Christine Bolaños on domestic violence and immigration
December 03, 2018 20:16 - 20.2 MBWe like to have fun on We're All Gonna Die, but this week we talk about a more serious topic—the human element of the immigration debate in the country. On today's pod, the crew talks with Christine Bolaños about her story regarding Melvin Griselda Cruz-Lopez, a mother trying to see her daughter again while being held in an immigrant detention center in Texas. The story, which you can check out here, is gripping and heart-breaking as it details the struggle Griselda has faced in trying to ...

EPIC privacy and the voice of Don Jr. - We're All Gonna Die - Oct. 28, 2018
October 29, 2018 03:11 - 26.2 MBYou probably already know that Brett Kavanaugh was credibly accused of sexual assault during his confirmation hearing for the Supreme Court. But did you also know that he’s decided multiple court cases in favor of government surveillance and communicated repeatedly with John Yoo, the so-called “architect of warrantless wiretapping?" Alan Butler, senior counsel at the Electronic Privacy Information Center, joins the gang to unpack it all for you. Plus, we have Gabe Gundacker, the voice of Do...
The Biggest Midterm Memes - We're All Gonna Die - Oct. 21, 2018
October 22, 2018 03:32 - 29.6 MBAll of us at We're All Gonna Die love chatting about memes each week. And we'll be honest—we're usually not great at talking about visual photos on a podcast. But fear not! This week the We're All Gonna Die team talks about some of the biggest memes that have come out ahead of the 2018 midterms and examine how they are emblematic of themes this election cycle has shown. Do you think Hot Beto, the New York Times election needle, and the trick clickbait voter registration memes are some of...
California's 'bada**' net neutrality bill - We're All Gonna Die - 10/8/2018
October 08, 2018 14:55 - 20.9 MBThe Supreme Court just confirmed a nominee who will likely be terrible for net neutrality, among other things, but fear not! We bring you glad tidings in the form of return guest Evan Greer, deputy director of Fight for the Future. Join the gang as we chat with Greer about the California net neutrality bill she calls, “badass,” net neutrality in the midterms, and the future of the internet on a state and national level. Plus, memes of the week! Music: "Jazzy Frenchy" by BenSound.com -...
The man who tricked the world into sharing fake news - We're All Gonna Die - Sept. 23, 2018
September 23, 2018 20:23 - 26 minutes - 24.7 MBFake news has plagued the political landscape since the 2016 election, and no one seems to have figured out how to defeat it. But we can clown on it, which is precisely what guest Justin Hook, a comedy writer based in LA, has done with his Fake News Generator. Choose an image, a headline, a brief description, and a real-enough-sounding website, and share extremely dumb fake news with your friends! Hook talks to the gang about his project, and whether we’ll ever figure out how to deal with r...
The voice of the family separation crisis - We're All Gonna Die - Sept. 15, 2018
September 15, 2018 20:44 - 25 minutes - 23.5 MBThis week on We're All Gonna Die, the team tackles serious issues—like family separation–to infinitely less important topics like bagels. First, we chat with Samantha Grasso, the Daily Dot's IRL reporter, about her conversation with Alisson Ximena Valencia Madrid–one of the 2,600 children separated form their family as part of the Trump administration's policy. In addition, the team chats about net neutrality, Europe’s Copyright Directive, and Cynthia Nixon's bagel order. Music: "Jazz...
The Colin Kaepernick tipping point - We're All Gonna Die - Sept. 9, 2018
September 09, 2018 18:46 - 28 minutes - 26.3 MBOoh, y’all, it’s been a spicy one. Between Senate hearings and anonymous op-eds, the political world has been all a-Twitter. I absolutely intended that pun. In this week’s ep, we break it all down for you: what happened at those social media hearings? Did Alex Jones and Marco Rubio get into a fight? Does Jack Dorsey have a nose ring? How do we feel about Colin Kaepernick’s Nike ad? And, more importantly, the memes! And Jesus, what’s going on with these Kavanaugh hearings? Plus, the gang p...
More like BAE-to O'Rourke - We're All Gonna Die - Sep. 2, 2018
September 02, 2018 17:06 - 32 minutes - 29.8 MBThis week on We're All Gonna Die, the Daily Dot's internet politics podcast, the team probably has too much fun discussing the Texas GOP's attempt at attacking Beto O'Rourke, the Democrat seeking to unseat Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), in what is becoming an increasingly tight race. If you forgot, the state's Republican party Twitter account tried to use an old mugshot of O'Rourke to make fun of him—and a good portion of the internet thought he could get it. Judging by the Texas GOP's response ...
The Demise of QAnon - We're All Gonna Die - Aug. 26, 2018
August 27, 2018 03:38 - 20.6 MBA lot has happened in the world of QAnon since we've last talked about it. So the crew from We're All Gonna Die, the Daily Dot's internet politics podcast, decided to chat with Mike Rothschild—who has written about QAnon extensively for the Daily Dot over the past several months—about the latest developments, including whether or not the idea has lost momentum since it went mainstream.

Attending a Jordan Peterson rally - We're All Gonna Die - Aug. 11, 2018
August 11, 2018 20:47 - 27 minutes - 24.9 MBJordan Peterson, motivational speaker and father figure to the alt-right, rolled through Austin last month. Peterson has been selling out crowds on his 12 Rules tour, where he imparts wisdom on young men with profound bonmots such as "if you see a cat, pet it." So we sent an intern to attend the rally to see what it was like. There were no cats, sadly. Here's Onaje McDowell's story from the rally, listen to what he has to say below.

An Alaskan about-face on net neutrality - We're All Gonna Die - Aug. 4, 2018
August 05, 2018 15:49 - 17.5 MBNet neutrality is a deeply personal issue for a lot of people, so this week on We're All Gonna Die, the team chats with a constituent who tried to convey that to her representative in Congress. Jennie Stewart, the owner of CustomMousePad.com, talks to us about her conversation with Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska), where she says he gave her a "verbal commitment" to sign onto an effort to save net neutrality currently underway in Congress. However, Young later said he would not sign the first mec...
TeEn MeMes with Drew Fairweather - We're All Gonna Die - July 20, 2018
July 22, 2018 23:35 - 46 minutes - 42.8 MBWell, folks, you heard it here first: Memes are the answer to life’s biggest problems, namely our current political mess. Who knew? Well, we did, actually. That’s why we asked Drew Fairweather, an internet comedian who faked a Mueller indictment filled with mentions of shit-posting and stupid memes, on this week’s show. We’ve also got an interview with Scotty Loewen of Austin-area band the Blistering Speeds. In a rather counterintuitive move, he’s quitting Facebook right as his band puts ou...

Stephen Miller is the real soy boy - We're All Gonna Die - July 13, 2018
July 15, 2018 18:21 - 33 minutes - 30.9 MBThere is a question lurking around the internet. It's an important one too. When Stephen Miller threw out all his sushi, which usually comes with the typical accouterments like wasabi and ginger, did he have with him ... soy? (Sauce.) Because, you know, only bitch-ass libs eat soy. (It's a thing, really. We promise. Just listen. Please listen.) But if Stephen Miller was eating sushi with soy sauce... Listen!
Silver Fox of the Supreme Court - We're All Gonna Die - July 6, 2018
July 05, 2018 22:16 - 31 minutes - 28.7 MBThe "civility" debate is all the rage in the political sphere, so this week on We're All Gonna Die, the Daily Dot's politics podcast, the team dissects what the hell that even means and if "civility" is possible in the current climate. Spoiler alert, it's not. And because that wasn't enough of a pill to swallow, the gang also waxes poetic about the future of the Supreme Court and how much Neil Gorsuch is a silver fox. (Ellen doesn't think so). But not everything is doom-and-gloom! We also...
FOIA Fest with Adam Marshall - We're All Gonna Die - July 1, 2018
July 01, 2018 03:03 - 24 minutes - 22.2 MBWelcome to a very special episode of "We’re All Gonna Die." In the wake of the Daily Dot’s decision to sue the NYPD for Donald Trump’s and his sons’ concealed carry permit applications, we decided it was time to drop some FOIA knowledge on you, our dear listeners. Don’t know what FOIA is? Join the crew as we interview Adam Marshall, an attorney from the Reporters’ Committee for Freedom of the Press, who works on FOIA cases and is a fountain of knowledge on the topic. Come, join us as we ...
Sifting through the 'Westworld' season 2 finale
June 25, 2018 20:54 - 31 minutes - 29.2 MBWestworld season 2 is over and we all have headaches, but we're still gonna power through the maze. Sunday night's 90-minute finale gave us a lot—maybe too much—to process, including a revelatory post-credits scene that shows us William's future timeline with his daughter, and Logan's true form after being turned away by his father, Jim Delos. In season 1 Westworld was a show about the limits of robot consciousness, but by the end of season 2 it's something even deeper: the repeating loops ...
Separation Anxiety - We're All Gonna Die - 53
June 24, 2018 05:14 - 26.6 MBLook, we're not going to sugarcoat this: it's been a rough week. Whatever your views on immigration are, the idea of undocumented immigrant children being separated from their families has been heart-wrenching to watch and hear about. While there are numerous ways you can learn about the policy and the latest news surrounding it, the We're All Gonna Die politics podcast team thought it would be best to highlight some of the worst, tone-deaf, and over reactions that happened online in the w...
Hats off in 'Westworld' episode 9
June 19, 2018 02:28 - 28.2 MBIn Westworld episode 9, "Vanishing Point," the Man in Black has unfortunately not vanished, but we get a little more insight into his backstory, and kick up more dust around the "Is he a host?" theory. William also goes full Walter White in this one, we learn what those black and white hats really do, and we see how easy it is to remove unwanted data packages from your monthly internet bill. Plus, we talk a bit about what to expect from next week's season finale. Join us. https://twitter.c...
Who Is Q Anon? - We're All Gonna Die - 52
June 16, 2018 19:25 - 31 minutes - 29 MBIf you dive deep into the nether reaches of the internet, you've stumbled across a Q Anon conspiracy theory. The internet's most shadowy figure is either a deep state operative, a kid LARPing and LOLing his face off, or President Donald Trump himself. He's supposedly got a plethora of access at the upper echelons of government, but a long history of his predictions flaming out. Today, we go deep in Q with an expert, Mike Rothschild, who writes extensively about the matter. Follow Mike on...
Emma Arnold stops by to chat about d**ks, bees, and comedy - The Upstream Podcast - 71
June 13, 2018 23:05 - 48 minutes - 44.4 MBThis week, we have comedian Emma Arnold in the studio to discuss her new album, as well as being a mom, Idaho, beekeeping, murder shows, and mental health. It's a wild ride down the slide we call life. Life-slide with us below. —Audra Schroeder Emma Arnold is a comedian with a rare gift. She’s able to be fierce, dirty, and challenging, while still coming across as a sweet small-town girl from Idaho. It doesn’t matter if she’s talking about President Donald Trump or vagina puppets, Arnold’s ...
'Westworld' episode 8 features a big awakening
June 11, 2018 22:26 - 20.9 MBIn Westworld episode 8, "Kiksuya," we follow Akecheta, a member of Ghost Nation, through his process of gaining consciousness, and no we definitely did not cry through the whole episode. Unfortunately, the Man in Black is still friggin' alive, and, apparently, so is Logan; Akecheta finds him in the desert naked and afraid, but Logan doesn't seem to remember meeting him in episode 2. We also learn about the scope of Maeve's Jedi powers, and wonder if a Robert Ford hologram would work in West...
Manic Pixie Dream Prez - We're All Gonna Die - 51
June 10, 2018 23:11 - 35 minutes - 32.5 MBSo... We were going to debate what the first 500 days of the Trump presidency meant to us, but we already know the answer to that. It's annoying! And problematic! And busy! So instead we debated (500) Days of Summer. We all agreed it wasn't busy, being an extremely well-directed movie, but it sure as hell is problematic. And somewhat annoying. Joseph Gordon Levitt. Fuck that guy. Like, are you an incel if you enjoyed it? Probably not, but that didn't stop the overwhelming majority of podd...
13 reasons why you should watch the World Cup - The Upstream Podcast - 70
June 07, 2018 22:33 - 33 MBFriends welcome to the Daily Dot's World Cup preview for the rest of us. Dot reporters Ramon, Phil, Josh, and Dave join Logan the producer and answer 13 burning questions every American needs answered before they tune into the World Cup on June 14. We're not here to tell you the difference between a fullback and a winger, we just want to talk about all the fun and weird things you need to know about at a backyard BBQ, adult kickball league, or while chatting up the boss this summer. Intr...
Who's got the data in 'Westworld' episode 7?
June 04, 2018 19:36 - 24 minutes - 22.4 MBIn Westworld episode 7, "Les Écorchés," a few storylines finally come together and the season moves forward a bit. But you must endure Robert Ford quoting William Blake. We learn more about the nature of Westworld, and who it's actually experimenting on. As Bernard says in the episode: "The guests are the variables. And the hosts are the controls. The guests come to the park, they don’t know they’re being watched. We get to see their true selves. Their every choice reveals another part of t...
Highway to the 'covfefe' zone - We're All Gonna Die - 50
June 02, 2018 22:18 - 21 minutes - 19.5 MBWhere in the world is Melania Trump? She's probably fine, but one thing is for sure: She definitely didn't write that tweet proclaiming her health. On this week’s episode (our 50th!) of We're All Gonna Die, we wish a very happy anniversary to President Donald Trump and "covfefe." Like his marriage anniversaries, this wasn’t an occasion the president acknowledged publicly, but we're sure he and the small circle of people who know what "covfefe" means celebrated the day in their own ways. A...
SEO violence of the Pusha T-Drake diss battle - The Upstream Podcast - 69 (nice)
June 01, 2018 21:21 - 30 minutes - 28.1 MBThis week in entertainment, it's all about having the last word! We discuss the ongoing Drake-Pusha T diss volley that flared up again this week, after the release of Daytona. The stakes are lower for diss tracks in 2018, but investigative reporter Pusha T might have messed up Drake's SEO play, and that's a new kind of malice. We also discuss the Roseanne cancelation and the grift of the #boycottABC hashtag, and have some recommendations for summer streaming, including Amazon's subversive ...
'Westworld' episode 6, straight from the Cradle
May 30, 2018 13:43 - 21 minutes - 19.6 MBThis week's episode of Westworld, "Phase Space," left us with yet another Shruggie emoji, and a big reveal. We discuss whether a movie titled Something About Bernard could work as a rom-com, how Ford could still be in the park, whether aggro Teddy is better, and what the introduction of the Cradle means. We also get some serious "Parents Just Don't Understand" realness from the Man in Black. Dive down memory lane with us. Theme Music:"Iron Horse" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed...
69 ways to own the libs - We're All Gonna Die - 49

Carter, fantasy sports fanatic and satirical Twitter personality, who schools the gang to "own the libs." No, the gang didn’t get owned. This is a nonpartisan news site! You can check out his book 69 Ways To Own The Libs: A Guide To Destroying Liberals Online And In Real Life, here. In other weird internet news of the week, Tomi Lahren got a little damp in Minneapolis, but not to worry--Donald Trump came to t...
'Solo' is no 'Fast and Furious' but it's fun - The Upstream Podcast - 68
May 24, 2018 05:19 - 25.8 MBShould you see Solo: A Star Wars Story? Gavia Baker-Whitelaw swoops in with a spoiler-free review of the Star Wars spinoff, and discusses the film's long road to completion, Emilia Clarke's bad acting, and whether Lando is really pansexual. As she writes in her review, the film is "a competently made blockbuster with nothing at its core." Is that what we want in a film that no one asked for? These are the questions we ask in 2018. Plus, we've got thoughts about spoiling Deadpool 2, 13 Reaso...
Maeve finds her voice in Shogun World - Westworld Season 2 Episode 5
May 21, 2018 18:36 - 20 minutes - 19 MBIn Westworld episode 5, "Akane No Mai," Maeve is now a Jedi. We've finally gotten to Shogun World, and found out how Lee Sizemore has been sourcing his storylines. We also find out Maeve can't just control people with voice commands, but with her mind. Dolores is still consumed with revenge, and is now messing with Teddy's code. The divide between the two women is tangible, but will they converge again? https://twitter.com/WestworldGifs/status/992392287916314624 Check out our past Westwor...

Vicente Fox joins the gang to talk about his YouTube activism and his lack of love for Donald Trump. Then Andrew, Ramon, and David treat you to a dramatic reading of the Donald Trump Jr. congressional testimony. It's pleasurable. I promise.
Unpacking Netflix's teen rom-com disaster 'The Kissing Booth' - The Upstream Podcast - 67
May 17, 2018 22:07 - 33 minutes - 30.3 MBThis week, we're assessing enthusiasm levels for the new season of Arrested Development, and whether it's still part of the Zeitgeist. Did the internet kill it, or make it into a meme? Netflix is also throwing out a lot of teen-focused content lately, but original film The Kissing Booth is a head-scratcher. Reviewer Tess Cagle unpacks her one-star review, and discusses how the film paints its female lead as an object and leaves her without any agency. Plus, we'll run down some of the movie...
Everything's fine in 'Westworld' episode 4
May 14, 2018 21:25 - 27 minutes - 25.5 MBIn "The Riddle of the Sphinx," Westworld finally reveals Delos' end game, and brings up the question of immortality. But that question brings up more questions, of course. Still, the Lisa Joy-directed episode 4 gives us more to work with than the rest of season 2. We see James Delos' fate, but we're still not sure who else's DNA might have been sampled, and where it went. Elsie (Shannon Woodward) is back and she and Bernard enter a facility where new builds are happening and there are defin...
Can Net Neutrality Win? - We're All Gonna Die - 47
May 13, 2018 17:52 - 36 MBOn this episode of We're All Gonna Die, the gang speaks with Evan Greer, deputy director of Fight for the Future, and she explains what you can do to help save net neutrality. Hint: It's time to be that annoying Facebook friend. We discuss why the Red Alert protest will work, why the internet continues to rally in favor of net neutrality, and what we can expect as the fight gears up in Congress. Later, we break down Mitt Romney's baffling hot dog gaffe, ponder the origins of Stormy Daniels...
The new parks are here! - 'Westworld' Chat - Season 2 Episode 3
May 07, 2018 18:25 - 15 minutes - 14.3 MBIn Westworld season 2, episode 3, we finally see a new park, but it's not the one we thought it might be. In"Virtù e Fortuna," we get a glimpse of the Raj and a mysterious new character named Grace who looks a lot like a young Theresa Cullen. We also get a glimpse of Shogun World, but in between that and the Raj, we get more muddled timelines and more questions: How is Ghost Nation involved? What is that file inside Peter Abernathy? Did we really need a sitar cover of "Seven Nation Army"? ...
Trump's Klout score - We're All Gonna Die - 46
May 06, 2018 21:25 - 39 minutes - 35.8 MBRemember when everyone cared about their Klout score? Ever wonder what President Donald Trump's Klout score is? We'll you're in luck, because here at We're All Gonna Die, we decided to look it up. We're doing the hard shoe-leather journalism this week. Surprisingly, the website, which claims to measure your online influence by assigning a numerical grade, says the president is an expert in the FBI (duh), Florida (odd), fraud (what?) Michigan (yeah, probably), and even Vladimir Putin (we s...
Cash us talking about Bhad Bhabie - The Upstream Podcast - 66
May 04, 2018 20:38 - 36 minutes - 33.2 MBWhen Danielle Bregoli appeared on Dr. Phil in 2016, few of us could have predicted that she would become a meme. Now the 15-year-old is a successful touring rapper known as Bhad Bhabie, and when we caught up with her in San Antonio, Texas, last weekend, she seemed to be trying to distance herself from her "Cash Me Ousside" origin story. Still, it's part of Bregoli's story, which also involves feuds with fellow internet stars, legal issues, and thoughts about James Comey. Her manager told th...
Have you ever seen anything so full of splendor? - The Upstream 'West World' Discussion - Season 2 Episode 2
April 30, 2018 20:26 - 26.6 MBHave you ever seen anything so full of splendor? I doubt it with this line-up. Join the Daily Dot staff to discuss Season 2 Episode 2 of HBO's West World. Has Delores gone off the rails? What happened to Logan after he was ousted? Who is James Delos and how did he let William take over the Delos corporation? Why isn't Tessa Thompson in this episode more?! When are we getting to Shogun World? You're guides Tiffany, Michelle, and Logan are here to help you through the ins and outs of this w...

April 29, 2018 23:10 - 34 minutes - 31.4 MBIf you're wondering if advanced stats have hit pornography, well, we have news for you. While researching Stormy Daniels new film, Stormy's Secret, we stumble of a little thing called "Fuck Stats." But that's not the only thing we talk about (although, it pretty much is the only thing we talk about). On this week's We're All Gonna Die, we talk penis poems and ... politics? Sure. Whatever.

The best Marvel movies before 'Infinity War' - The Upstream Podcast - 65
April 27, 2018 12:41 - 43 minutes - 40 MBAvengers: Infinity War is here, and it's "entertaining and by no means a disappointment, but it’s otherwise kind of empty," according to reviewer Gavia Baker-Whitelaw. As we prepare for the ensemble assault of the latest Avengers movie, we're counting down the Daily Dot staff's favorite Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, and touching on some important points: Is Chris Pratt a "sexual icon"? How many Marvel movies have we fallen asleep during? Does anyone even remember what happened in Age of...
Let's chat about 'Westworld' Season 2 Episode 1
April 23, 2018 16:53 - 24 minutes - 22.4 MBWe're recapping Westworld every Monday, and in our debut mini-podcast we take a look at the season 2 premiere and the new puzzles it presents. Michelle Jaworksi and Tiffany Kelly join us to talk about the very timely introduction of Delos's data-collecting drone hosts, Bernard's glitch-out, new characters, and the show's timeline game. Warning: There are some light spoilers. Theme Music: "Iron Horse" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 L...
Handsome Hired Goon - We're All Gonna Die - 44
April 22, 2018 13:21 - 33 minutes - 30.9 MBStormy Daniels this week released a sketch of the man she said harassed her into keeping quiet about her alleged affair with President Donald Trump—and the culprit is Tom Brady. This week on We’re All Gona Die, the Dot’s politics podcast, the gang unbundles the wave of internet sleuthing that occurred following Daniels’ reveal. Did one Twitter user actually ID the suspect? Elsewhere we talk about James Comey, America’s would-be resistance hero. And following alt-right troll Mike Cernovich’...
What we want from 'Westworld' season 2 - The Upstream Podcast - 64
April 20, 2018 17:42 - 38 minutes - 35 MBThis week, we’re back online with a discussion about Westworld season 2 theories, season 1 critiques, and thoughts about being rickrolled. Parsec writers Gavia Baker-Whitelaw and Michelle Jaworski and Unclick editor Tiffany Kelly join us to talk about how the Westworld fan community has informed the show in the age of spoilers, what we’re looking forward to in season 2 (more Tessa Thompson), and what we didn’t like about season 1 (The Man in Black can sashay away). For all the heady intelle...
Papa Ryan got Roached - We're All Gonna Die - 43
April 15, 2018 21:12 - 33 minutes - 30.6 MBWe've all left jobs that we didn't like. It happens. You really have to do what's best for you. We're just lucky enough that we've been able to do it relative privacy. When you are the Speaker of the House, even if you are really doing what's best for you, you're still gonna get laughed at. And maybe even dunked on by late 90s nu-metal bands. Sorry Paul Ryan, you got Papa Roached. But that's not all we talk about on the pod this week. We also talk ... politics? It is a politics podcast so...
