And When I Say... I Mean...

In what might be a first for the brothers when discussion Marvel movies, Adrian and Austin talk about why they liked "Black Panther". We will discuss if the movie would have been better as a stand alone film or as it is as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Finally we look at whether or not the movie actually answered the questions it was asking.

In this episode Adrian and Austin talk about NBC's hit television program "The Office". We discuss our favorite episodes, and elaborate as to why they are our favorites. Finally we wrap up the episode by digging into what makes a great sitcom and why some work and some don't.

After finally watching the newest installment of the Star Wars saga (well Adrian did at least, Austin just looked up spoilers), the brothers present their backlash to the backlash of the backlash to  The Last Jedi . One of our favorite YouTubers, Mat Pat, released a video talking about how fan theories effect peoples enjoyment of the movie itself. He references Chekhov's Gun and we will discuss if we agree with his use of it or if we think he missed the mark. Check out his video below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aB-UKwO367s

With the recent release of Michael Wolff's book, Fire and Fury , Adrian and Austin ask the question, what makes a book a work of fiction or non-fiction. We will discuss our thoughts on what category this work fits into but also go deeper into the idea of what it means to be non-fiction, and the lines might be more blurred then we think. The article from the Atlantic that we talk about can be found here. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/01/fire-and-fury-is-the-perfect-postmodern-white-house-book/550397/
