Merlin (finally) figures out how to join Slate Plus, John reminisces about Yahoo!, and both hosts advocate strongly for the vanishing genre of slow-paced movies about how things get made. Merlin admits he's superstitious about his water heater, and John reveals how he learned not to mind when his plane takes off. John cruelly schools Merlin on why he should stop trusting himself.

Further follow-up concerns pronunciation of "Marina" (say məˈrēnə), thoughts on being "The Other Guy" on a podcast, and more discussion of thought technology. Also, we all get dumb PR email, and, sorry, it looks like Millennium Actress got pulled from the YouTube. Also, John and Merlin hold a spirited Science Debate on whether and how lighting a match may or may not tackle flatulent effluvia. With Science.

In which we learn that your hosts and their families are both/all screwed up and hopeless in different ways. All involved are, as they say, chopped.

The main topic this time is 'Evolutionary Biology'. John runs through some common misconceptions, and widespread errors of analogies. Merlin candidly admits that he still doesn't really understand what he doesn't understand. This episode of Reconcilable Differences is sponsored by: Hover: Simplified domain management.

This leads to a discussion of the myriad ways in which abuse thrives unchecked in the absence of decisive action by Twitter-the-company. John excruciates over his now-required bio blurb. In follow-up, several listeners are thanked and acknowledged, and Good Cop John just can't believe Merlin isn't a more strident and principled critic of "The Popcorn Trick."

This week's main topic can be roughly called, "my part of the couch." More specifically, why are your hosts so piqued about how hard it is to have nice things—let alone their own things—in their respective households?

Links and Show Notes: This week kicks off with Merlin ranting about his mixed feelings about spoiler warnings, and, as usual, John assumes the role of Good Cop on the audience's behalf. Then, there's some discussion of how John has been gently introducing Merlin to his favorite anime films. Note: audience homework to watch the film Millennium Actress for future discussion is assigned. Is this a simple tragedy of the commons? Are they just unintentionally acting like 50s TV Dads? Will their daughters eventually steal literally everything? And, honestly, how hard is it to put your phone just anyplace besides John's exactly-iPhone-6-sized spot on the mantle? It seems so simple.

Mr. Show - Pre-Taped Call-in Show - YouTube Voices of a Distant Star - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Incomparable | Only One Spaceship (Episode 306)Professor Siracusa’s Anime class is back in session, as we watch two short films with similar themes, both by director Makoto Shinkai. First there’s “The Voices of a Distant Star,” which features a boy and a girl separated by light-years as she fights an alien scourge. Then there’s “5 Centimeters Per Second,” in which a boy and a girl are separated by… a long train journey. Both are beautiful explorations of teenage romantic angst and isolation, with images that will stick with our panelists for a long time. 5 Centimeters Per Second - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Perfect Blue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Pentel Anna Karenina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Millennium Actress - YouTube Tragedy of the commons - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaThe tragedy of the commons is an economic theory of a situation within a shared-resource system where individual users acting independently according to their own self-interest behave contrary to the common good of all users by depleting that resource through their collective action. Marina Epelman on Twitter: "@siracusa @hotdogsladies @RecDiffs https://t.co/iTZItWJd4r"Marina (properly) reads the opening of Anna Karenina in the native tongue.

The main topic this week is The Future. Merlin can't contain his fascination and admiration with how John's rationality and long view of history has colored and redirected his own conceptions about what the future holds.

There's some quick FU on Ted Leo, followed by some lessons of Finding Dory. This leads to yet 👏 another 👏 dive into Pixar films and what your hosts compulsively crave from them. Like: what would happen if Pixar went Full-Metal-Kubrick on creating a seriously committed sci-fi movie for grownups? In passing, your hosts agree that Game of Thrones is really good, and that Sansa Stark is most definitely a serious badass. The main topic this week is…💫 The Fuuuuuuture! 💫 How does John evaluate and interpolate new technology? How should inchoate cultural vectors inform our thinking?

Things really kick into high gear as your hosts finally (FINALLY) go toe-to-toe on the hot topic of iOS app quitting. Why Merlin is so mad at John and why John insists Merlin is still wrong. This episode of Reconcilable Differences is sponsored by: Backblaze: The unlimited, native backup solution for your Mac and PC Links and Show Notes: This week opens with John's meditation on pronunciation, accents, and the gradual disappearance of America's once-diverse tapestry of vowel sounds. This somehow leads to a rueful examination of the modern media landscape, focusing on the Big Black Box where all the ugly and capricious business of media distribution probably gets decided. Merlin confesses his existential dread about appearing on The Incomparable then happily names names regarding his picks for a non-existent Favorite Hosts draft. Then? Then, things get oddly reconciled as the gloves come off and the boys start tag-teaming on Apple's buggy and broken services, with especially strategic kicks to the biscuit reserved for those inscrutable requests for iCloud logins to which so many fans are treated throughout the working day.

In follow-up, the boys address the length of the last episode and debate the merits of chapter markers. Are they an attractive nuisance that encourages people to pick up one of your host’s terrible media consumption hygiene? Also, more talk on smoking, and we learn that John is surprisingly tolerant about how people talk. (Episode recorded May 10, 2016) Get an ad-free version of the show, plus a monthly extended episode.
