Greeting Constellation faithful, and welcome back to your favorite LSM conversational podcast! This week, Lord Cognito wants to know how we recover when we're feeling under the weather. Which rituals and remedies tend to cure and comfort us whenever we're down for the count? Next, Micah takes us on a pleasant stroll down to the mailbox as we reflect on our favorite magazines, past and present. The landscape for periodicals has changed drastically over the last couple of decades, but which defunct magazines do we miss the most, and which of those remaining zines could be next up for extinction? The jet-setting Gene Park is no stranger to travel, and he always remembers to pack his toothbrush and an engaging topic for conversation. This time Mr. Park would like us to discuss the planes, trains, automobiles, helicopters, horses (and unicycles) that get us from Point A to Point B. Finally, Dagan invites the gang into his dojo for a little martial arts action! Four brave warriors take to the matte in order to discuss everything from our practical experience with combat sports to our pop culture martial arts favorites in film, TV, anime and games. And don't worry, of course we talk about ninjas!👟Grab your pair now at https://vessi.com/constellation for 15% off your first order!Get 20% off your order with free shipping at https://www.buyraycon.com/constellation Learn more about your ad choices.

Constellation is back with a very special episode. This week, Colin has left the keys to the kingdom in the hands of crazy uncle Dagan while he’s away and is joined by LSM Executive Producer Dustin Furman, Defining Duke host MrMattyPlays, and Summon Sign host Brad Ellis. To kick things off, Dustin wants to look back at how the work of Akira Toriyama has impacted us after his unfortunate passing last week. Brad wonders how we feel about amusement parks and our best memories of going to them. Matty asks about our blind spots in life and the things we wish we knew more about. And finally, Dagan ponders our worst ideas and the catastrophic outcomes. This is a unique episode, so don’t miss it! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Constellation has returned for another episode. This week, the Brothers Moriarty are joined by Sacred Symbols co-host Chris Ray Gun and Last Stand’s Coordinator, Micah Moriarty. Chris asks about the optional luxuries in life we can’t go without. Micah is curious about asking for help online. Is it worth seeking advice from an anonymous forum like Reddit? Dagan wants to explore humor that goes too far. Can anything be funny in the right context, or should certain topics be off-limits? And finally, Colin ponders the state of YouTube and our viewpoint as creators. Has the platform changed for the better or worse? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Welcome to a very special episode of Constellation, Last Stand Media's conversational podcast. This year, we're going to try to execute on a small number of 'themed' episodes that revolve around certain sets of topics, and today, we present to you an all-political discussion. As such, joining the Brothers Moriarty this time around is Punching Up co-host Gene Park and storied game designer David Jaffe, and you should be warned that if you don't like politics, don't want to hear about them, or get upset when you disagree with people, you shouldn't watch or listen. Dagan starts us off with a brisk chat about Jon Stewart, who has recently returned to The Daily Show in a limited capacity. Is his presence more necessary than ever, or is he one of the reasons our discourse has sunk to its current level? Gene seamlessly executes his topic from Dagan's, wrangling a wide-ranging deep-dive into social justice. Are we in a better place than ever socially, or has everything been pushed too far? From here, Colin talks about the deteriorating situation in Ukraine, and regrets how deeply propagandized American society became in a war that didn't involve it. Should we be inserting ourselves into geopolitical situations, or seeking peace no matter the cost? Finally, Jaffe rounds things out by exploring claims of fraud in the 2020 election, which haven't at all convinced him. Will Trump ever admit he lost, or does he perhaps have a point that not all is at it seems?Get 20% off your order plus free shipping at https://www.buyraycon.com/constellation Learn more about your ad choices.

Greetings and salutations! It's time for more Constellation, Last Stand Media's conversational podcast. This week, the Brothers Moriarty are joined by Defining Duke co-host MrMattyPlays and Summon Sign host Brad Ellis. Colin's worried about unabashed consumerism and unfettered capitalism, and expresses yet more concern that the haves and have-nots are on an obvious collision course. Dagan wants each cast member to regale him with interesting (and totally true!) facts that he (and most others) are unlikely to know. Where's the best place to live when it comes to 'biome'... forest... beach... the desert?! Brad inquires. Finally, Matty explores the idea of time travel with an eye towards things we'd change, if only we'd be willing to deal with the inevitable repercussions of our modified actions, be they what they may.

It's time for another episode of Constellation, Last Stand Media's conversational podcast. This week, the Brothers Moriarty welcome Defining Duke co-host Lord Cognito and Sacred Symbols co-host Chris Ray Gun to the program. Chris has been sitting on a topic for a while, now, and it's a doozy: Which fictional characters would be on Epstein's vaunted 'list' of clients? Our answers may surprise you. Cog's curious about our ability -- or lack thereof -- to manifest positive outcomes in our lives. Do we think anything is possible, so long as we truly believe? Dagan wants to know in which ways we've succumbed to peer pressure in our lives (with a natural inclination towards old stories from our youth). And finally, Colin brings up Gina Carano's lawsuit against Disney, funded by Elon Musk, that seeks to get her reinstated on The Mandalorian. Naturally, this chat gets political, which is why we buried the topic towards the end. Be aware! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Welcome back -- one-and-all! -- to Constellation, Last Stand Media's conversational podcast. This week, the Brothers Moriarty welcome LSM's executive producer Dustin Furman and associate producer Ben Smith to the show. Topics are varied, per usual. Colin starts things off by reflecting on Last Stand itself, and inquires how the boys think the company is doing, what we might change, and how we may look in the future. Dustin has a deep and abiding love of Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy, widely considered some of the finest films ever crafted. Will these movies forever stand the test of time? Ben's been wondering, as of late, if he may have what it takes to try stand up comedy at open mic night. Should he take the plunge? Finally, Dagan chronicles his experiences with both ghosting and being ghosted. Have we been abandoned by people in our lives? Or are we the ones doing the abandoning?

Welcome to Constellation, Last Stand Media's conversational podcast. This week, the Brothers Moriarty are joined by Sacred Symbols co-host Chris Ray Gun. A trio of topics therefore await you this episode, beginning with Dagan's deep-delve into gossip. It turns out Dag's a bit of a gossiper himself, and wonders if we partake, and if so to what extent. Colin thereafter turns everyone's attention to the so-called 'public domain,' where created works across mediums reside after a certain number of years post-launch, a space where anyone can play with the likes of Count Dracula, and -- yes indeed -- Steamboat Willie. How do we feel about the rules and restrictions placed around others' creations? Finally, Chris steers us into the realm of true crime, where for reasons unknown, people fixate about the grisly downfall of others. Do we share in this cultural obsession, or are we perplexed by it all? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
