0G191: Consider Phlebas and Philosophy of Scale pt.2

August 10, 2022 13:21 - 58 minutes - 53.7 MB

A book so big we barely manage to cover even a piece of it in three episodes. Don't be deceived by the vaguely unsatisfying nature of the narrative on first reading, this book is a culture ship packed with philosophy. In part two our minds reel as we attempt to grasp the scale of the Culture and the space it inhabits.

July 22, 2022 06:50 - 59 minutes - 54.4 MB

A book so big we barely manage to cover even a piece of it in three episodes. Don't be deceived by the vaguely unsatisfying nature of the narrative on first reading, this book is a culture ship packed with philosophy. We start out, as the book does, with an attempt to steelbot the argument against the culture.   Content: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consider_Phlebas   Editing by Luisa Lyons, check out her amazing podcast Filmed Live Musicals: http://www.filmedlivemusicals.com/   ...

June 03, 2022 10:26 - 1 hour - 76.2 MB

Alright you mother humpers! Time to dip into the modern classics archive and talk about a movie that was "formative" for lots of us if lots of ways. From nerd fetish to Kevin Bacon fetish to prepper mommy fetish to giant graboid tentacle fetish, there's a lot to enjoy.

May 27, 2022 10:29 - 54 minutes - 49.8 MB

In order to get to the show notes you'll first need to walk through an endless series of boring halls very slowly. At which point you'll get a tiny glimpse of the show notes the have to wait till next season to see if they really pay off. But you're so alienated this will seem extremely fair, and otherwise we'll make you do correctives.

July 14, 2021 06:50 - 57 minutes - 52.2 MB

What if our real selves are the suffering we had along the way? What if personhood is just suffering persisting? We cover the existentially quirky WandaVision and the theme that persons are built out loss and grief.   Content: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WandaVision   Editing by Luisa Lyons, check out her amazing podcast Filmed Live Musicals: http://www.filmedlivemusicals.com/   Support us at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/0G   Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/0gPh...

0G152: The Sneetches and Ingroup/Outgroup Behavior

July 07, 2021 06:50 - 53 minutes - 49 MB

If you got up your hopes for some Dr. Seuss notes, let me stop you right there that's a whole lot of nopes. I can't do meter and I can't do rhymes, and there's no reason this will be unlike other times. We'll talk about race and putting stars every place, but if you're looking for insights there won't be a trace.   Content: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZYRR6vCUcY   Editing by Luisa Lyons, check out her amazing podcast Filmed Live Musicals: http://www.filmedlivemusicals.com/   ...
