Have you ever been listening to Sebadoh and thought to yourself "wow, this song is great, I really want to know what the guy singing it thinks about the 1978 Disney live action movie The Cat from Outer Space"? Indie rock legend Lou Barlow, of Dinosaur Jr, Sebadoh, the Folk Implosion, and more, joins Garrett Martin to talk about that movie and its similarities to E.T.,  as well as '70s Disney in general, the viewing habits of modern kids, and the two new records he released this spring: Dinosaur Jr.'s Sweep It Into Space, and his own solo album Reason to Live.

Avengers Campus, Disney's first American theme park land based on Marvel's superheroes, is now open at Disney California Adventure at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim. Katherine Long, a writer and intern at Paste Magazine, attended the media event last week, and joins Garrett Martin to talk about her experiences there and what people can expect from the new land.

In 1992 the family sitcom Dinosaurs aired a "very special episode" that was a very thinly veiled allegory for marijuana. The show ultimately tries to play it off like a parody of "very special episodes," but before it gets to that point it repeats some of the same decades-old stereotypes that had long been used to stigmatize cannabis. Brian "Box" Brown, the Eisner Award-winning cartoonist who has documented the lives of Andre the Giant and Andy Kaufman, and who detailed the roots of the War on Drugs in Cannabis: The Illegalization of Weed in America, joins Garrett Martin to discuss "A New Leaf" and how it embraces the racist history of anti-cannabis propaganda.
