Don't Get Me Started

Buckle up, folks. We dive deep early and then go even deeper on the topic of PHYSICS, TIME, MULTIVERSES, and other topics of Cosmology. Alex Berg (former UCB artistic director, Convoy) briefly describes his lifelong passion for physics and then proceeds to simply discuss physics. We start with Newton, crush through Einstein and proceed into theories of alternate dimensions, pre-Big Bang history and tesseracts. Yep. Science-phobes should fear not: there is no math in this episode. Also Anthony discusses Steve Martin's late-career shift into bluegrass, and Will discusses the real-life inspiration for Professory Moriarity.

Director/actor Mitch Magee talks to us about the world of type design: fonts, signage, movie titles, handwritten scripts --- we go deep! Also, Anthony discusses bicycling and Will discusses the ancient cribbage-like game of Senet.

Eric Appel, writer/director who worked on a million cool TV shows and before that made a million cool FunnyOrDie videos, talks to us about Disney Theme Parks! We go deep, as always. Also, Anthony King talks about his obsession with new iPhone app Periscope, which lets you live-stream yourself at any time, and Will talks about the Great Extinctions, which is times when most life on Earth ended!

Comedian Kevin Hines talks to us about Duck Comics --- meaning the comics and cartoons about Disney characters Donald Duck, Uncle Scrooge, Huey, Dewey, Louie, etc. And more importantly about their legendary greatest illustrator/creator: Carl Barks. Also, Will talks about a late 40s radio sensation the Lonesome Gal, and Anthony discusses the tragedy of owning a hugely tall avocado tree.

Vulture.com writer Jesse Fox talks to us about watching SNL as a sport. Good episode, bad episode, good season, bad season -- you keep watching at least partly because you want to see how the "team" does. We love this theory and talk forever about it. Also, Will talks about some computer programming thing (PHP framework called Laravel) and Anthony talks about the forgotten 1980 film "How To Beat The High Cost of Living."
