About this listen

 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.

    It's a . . . Decameronomenon!
    Aug 4 2025
    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
    May 30 2025
    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.
