Gabe and Matt dive deep into the mind of Charlie Kaufman and attempt to make meaning of his latest film I'm Thinking of Ending Things, not sponsored by Dairy Queen. Along the way, they stumble their way through how Mulan the Movie is having a direct negative effect on Hong Kong, they get demonetized and banned in China for... well, obvious reasons, Matt is wrong in most of the assumptions he makes, how movie theaters can make a killing on concessions by appealing to people's need to not wear a mask, the evolution of expensive food, a very strange tangent about Pauline Kael, the crazy theories around The Shining, how Gabe knows more about the flag physics of the moon than Matt, and the Roger Ebert video-games-as-art controversy.
