Machinic Unconscious Happy Hour

Andrew and I discuss the acting, cinematography, writing, and more of Alfred Hitchcock's landmark film, Vertigo. It's the first in a series we'll be doing together exploring our top 5 best films of all time. Most importantly, we reference the male libidinal economy. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052357/?ref_=tt_urv https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=168MsyGJ9yU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsM8dlQTnho

Friend of the show Avery Sudduth stopped by the studio for an impromptu chat on our shared love of all things X-Men. Topics covered include costumes, art, writing, style, film adaptations and more.

Sarah Hay will be launching her own podcast soon, so I wanted to host her to discuss criminal justice reform, social justice, religion, and spirituality in the 21st century.

Andrew Stamper joined me to share some insights into the challenges screenwriters face. We shared a little about some of our favorite films. We had a great time geeking our over our favorite films to wrap things up. It's a conversation any film geek will enjoy.

Marwan was my very first guest and joined me to talk about his recent trip to visit his father in Egypt. We also talked a little bit about the region and his plans for 2018.

Dr. Jay Banner is the F. M. Bullard Professor, Department of Geological Sciences, Jackson School of Geosciences and Director, Environmental Science Institute, College of Natural Sciences. Dr. Banner shared insights into the impact of urbanization of streams, the challenges surrounding creating a sustainable future for the state of Texas, and how climactic change can be studied via stalagmite deposits.

I brought friend of the show, Scott Williams, back to discuss what it would take to motivate him politically, the perils of modern living, and more schizoid content.

Jennifer Cox is a returning guest. I brought Jennifer on to discuss feminist perspectives. It automatically felt like one of the stronger conversations I've been able to have on the show so far, and I'm confident you'll agree. We discussed concepts of identity, negotiating ones own privileges & biases, and finding oneself after growing up in a evangelical community.

I had the opportunity to sit down and riff with AJ Norton of Psycological Warfare With AJ Norton. He's a local Austin podcaster, and I think we share a similar outlook in terms of the kinds of discussions we want to have. We focused on the confluence of economics, the media, and politics from a broad perspective. https://soundcloud.com/psychowarfare https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/psychological-warfare-with-a-j-norton/id1265694390?mt=2 http://psychowarfare.com/ https://www.facebook.com/psychowarfare/ https://www.patreon.com/psychowarfare

Gilbert Rivera is one of my absolute favorite people to talk to on any subject, so it was a real pleasure to have him on the show. We start off discussing Net Neutrality, and in true schizoid fashion venture into politics, economics, and philosophy. I've been pitching the idea of doing a current events podcast together, as well.
