A podcast for people who like movies and hate cops. Every...I dont know, month or so you can get captured by the spectacle and listen to some some anti-authoritarian freaks get together to jib jab about video games, shows, comics, and anything under the umbrella of nerd shit using that as a springboard to get silly in ways that will sound bad in court proceedings later (all things said on the podcast are parody and in minecraft, nice try FBI) Formerly The Anarcho-Geek Power Hour.

ANDOR II

Season 1

Sunday, September 7, 2025 • Duration 02:08:58

Margaret Killjoy, Hazel Acacia and Io Asunder talk about everyone’s favorite allegory for Vietnam (Star Wars) Specifically the only good Star Wars, Andor. We deconstruct the second season of the best god damn show ever made and have a couple laughs along the way. We talk about revolutionary fiction, what we would do if given free reign over a piece of the Star Wars extended universe, fascists in love and their bewildering sexual habits, hope, nihilism, the catechism of the revolutionary, ego, manufacturing consent, ends/means, and what separates the people who do revolution an the people who inherit it. Also Margaret get annoying with a Star Wars soundboard.

It's a . . . Decameronomenon!

Season 1

Monday, August 4, 2025 • Duration 01:28:24

Episode Summary

A deadly disease strikes, and everyone is ill-equipped to handle it; a group of young people is stuck inside trying to escape, and they feel (and act) weird about it. This is the plot of Giovanni Boccaccio's 14th century story collection, set against the backdrop of the Black Death. For SOME REASON, this felt relevant to adapt in the early 2020s. Robin, Miriam, and returning guest Ellery discuss Netflix's Decameron mini-series, along with the actual Decameron, the COVID-19 pandemic, and how we depict, and discuss disease, and what feels like the end of the world.

The Spectacle Goes Catholic

Season 1

Friday, May 30, 2025 • Duration 50:20

Episode Summary

McKenzie and Io chin wag about Conclave, the two popes and Catholicism and make a case for why Conclave should be ushered in gay film canon (a buncha messy flamboyant divas in iconic outfits backstab each other and treat women weirdly to see which of their boys gets to be the man?) What's better than this? Guys being dudes.

Nosferatu is a movie about poly drama and how doing real estate is evil Rosie Knight and returning champ Mckenzie talk with Io on the new vision of horror from director Robbie Eggo and decide once and for all who was the horniest Dracula.

We’ll hear it.
