Hosted by a jaded Gen-Xer and an optimistic Millennial, this double plus good podcast lives at the intersection between asserting that, ”The Shining’ doesn’t needs clear subtext to be good,” and arguing over whether or not Bruce Wayne would be better off if he just paid higher taxes. 

There is a lot of media out there that implies a bad-faith argument. Don’t fall for it- protect yourself! Get your fill of media criticism, Star Wars rants, and EnLiGhtEnEd CeNtRiSm at Postmodern Raygun.

Episode 13: Breadth vs. Depth

Which sport makes more money?

A) The sport everyone knows about, but nobody watches
B) The sport almost nobody knows about, but some people choose to live their lives around?  In this episode, Dusty and Austin attempt to explore the how media can develop a large audience with shallow expectations, or a small audience with fervent interactivity. They feel there is one sport that, throughout its history, has had just about every relationship that media can have with an audience: Wrestling. Steroid-fueled, spandex-wrapped, high-flying, personality-driven Wrestling. Strap in while Dusty and Austin tackle wrestling, and the question of Breadth vs. Depth.

 

Critics wouldn’t be so critical if they actually tried to make one of the things they “analyze.” HA! Well to that we say… “This is actually really F#%$!*g hard.“

We’re trying to write and direct just ONE conversation that doesn’t suck. We’ll start with cell-phones taped to boxes and then re-write and direct the scene over-and-over, until we’ve worked our way up to an honest-to-God film production. And we’ll be chronicling everything we learn along the way if you want to follow along.
