Episode 250 – X-Men Fools Gold
This week, we take a look at the controversy surrounding the recent X-Men: Gold #1 comic. Muslim artist Ardian Syaf stirred up a lot of anger after including some arguably anti-semitic “easter eggs” in his drawings.

Episode 239 – Punching Nazis
This week, we are joined by frequent guest Eric Knight to discuss the hot topic of punching Nazis. Is it OK to punch a Nazi? If so, when is it OK? As you might expect, we get a bit political here. The sound issues we experienced with episode 238 continue with 239. No wonder as […]

Episode 233 – Woo
This week, we are joined by frequent guest Pat Wick, who wanted to talk about woo. What is “woo,” you ask? Well rationalwiki tells us it is a “term for pseudoscientific explanations.” So stuff like homoeopathy, acupuncture, and magnet bands. Basically all sorts of bullshit stuff that doesn’t work but people want to sell you anyway. We […]
