We’re on winter break, so in this special Best of episode, we start with the current state of Dems trying to appeal to the youths, Jason tells us all about vibecoding some incredible new tools for the pod, and then we go all the way back to Episode 6(!) of Dune Pod. Relive how we were dealing with deeeep COVID and Jason’s nervousness about whether Dune Part 2 would even get made. Plus we’re joined by Ian De Borja as we tackle one of the GOATs, The Coen Brothers’ No Country for Old Men!

We’re joined by the host of the podcast Channels, Peter Kafka, as we go back to 1982’s Los Angeles, with Cameron Crowe and Amy Heckerling’s teenage masterpiece starring Sean Penn, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Phoebe Cates, Fast Times at Ridgemont High. We cover how The Pool Scene changed a generation, the first time Haitch got blue balls (after making out all night at a church lock in), why the Super Bowl sucked so hard, and just how sweet all those conservative tears taste right about now.

This is a wild one. We’re joined by House of the Dragon S3 director Loni Peristere and the creator of John Wick, Derek Kolstad! We cover Lee Marvin’s 1967 classic, Point Blank! Other topics include a S3 HotD update, that one time when Loni REINVENTED modern sci-fi visual effects with his revolutionary approach on Firefly (and then Battlestar Galactica!), and creating a legendary modern action hero.
