In which our heroes try to decode how they were born in the wrong generation, and prognosticate on feet.

Evan's opening monologue was lifted almost entirely from The Immortal Hulk #11 by Al Ewing and Joe Bennett. You should read it!
Jon Stewart, formative for many of our politics during the Bush era, returns with his second feature film Irresistible. Theoretically a political satire about how money in politics erodes democracy, how the consultant class fails us, and the entertainment imperative in news media, this film tells us more about the sexual pathology and dated criticism that liberalism has to offer in this time of crisis.
Elaine Pauls, superstar poster and podcaster from Sports Are Gay, Alberta Advantage, and Format: Guardian joins us for this conversation.

Kino keystone Abdul Malik returns for some F1 shit talk, the writing and projects he's been working on, and the brand-new Netflix documentary jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy. We watch his conservative politics of bootstrap Black capitalism get formed through the creation of The College Dropout to his Trump-embracing and wealth-protected isolation. We also have the chance to talk about the state of documentaries, and the influence of Hoop Dreams on this film.

Will Menaker from Chapo Trap House joins Team Kino this week to explore Josh Trank's Capone: a film where Tom Hardy waddles around in a diaper chomping a carrot and squawking like Danny DeVito's Penguin. It's an odyssey of fake friends, shitting your pants while being interviewed by the FBI, and yes, we get into the Armond White review.
