We’re joined by director Zachary Treitz and producer/investigator Christian Hansen, creators of a new documentary about Danny Casolaro and the Octopus. In the first of two episodes about the ten-year process behind the documentary, we discuss mysteries yet unsolved, danger, obsession, and some crazy stories that didn't make it to the screen.

Episode 357: American Conspiracy: The Octopus Murders: Director’s Cut: Part 1

Alex joins us once again to look at the news of the day, starting with a more serious look at the recent self-immolation in protest of U.S. Airman Aaron Bushnell. After that some lighter fare, with some stories of the bad Biden dog, Elizabeth Warren smoking weed with Ed Markey, and an article chronicling Biden’s stroke game going back to the 70’s. Finally, we read the big new piece on Bari Weiss’ University of Austin and its “Forbidden Courses”.

810 - The Forbidden Zone feat. Alex Nichols (2/27/24)

We’re joined again by director Zachary Treitz and producer/investigator Christian Hansen, creators of a new documentary about Danny Casolaro and the Octopus. In part two we talk through some of the bizarre characters encountered during the investigation, the mystery surrounding Danny’s death, and the slow creep of paranoia out on the trail. 

American Conspiracy: The Octopus Murders is now streaming on Netflix.

Episode 358: American Conspiracy: The Octopus Murders: Director's Cut: Part 2

Contributing editor for the New Republic and columnist for The Guardian Osita Nwanevu returns to the show. We look at a new New Yorker piece on Joe Biden’s last campaign, and the president’s defiant refusal to change gears, adjust policies, or really do anything to address rather dismal polling ahead of the election. Then, switching to the republicans, we look at the increasingly weird and anti-social tact of American conservatism and ask: can the modern right be assimilated into American culture?

UNLOCKED: Episode 355: Tip Line

Episode 1 and Fortune Kit’s Charles stops by the show today to look at a few real life individuals who remind us of E1 characters, including the streamer Destiny, who we’ve all seen clips of getting yelled at by Norm Finkelstein last week. We also check in on New York’s bling bishop, the Stonetoss doxxing, South Dakota Governor Kirsti Noem, and some “new” edgy Christians who like boobs, beer, & swearin’. Finally, Charles brings us some updates from one of Fortune Kit’s favorite guys, the king of “what’s a song that’s made up of notes?” vapid twitter engagement prompts, Eric Alper.

816 - Streampie feat. Charles Austin (3/18/24)

Will, Felix and Amber dish on the news of the day, including the resurgence of Havana Syndrome, Erdoğan’s historic losses in recent Turkish elections, and that obnoxious article about Stanford campus activism. But honestly most of this is just riffs on Liam Neeson and Steven Seagal.
