Brad Pitt is Fine

Spencer Crittenden holds down the fort with special guest Ryan, and somehow the show still spirals into full Kevin-and-the-Spleen chaos anyway. We cover surveillance doorbell cameras as accidental government confessionals, why the new Wolverine game might be a cautionary tale about third-person action game fatigue, and whether Zelda's weirdly "toyetic" new art style is genius or just uncanny valley Playmobil. Naturally this leads into a deep dive on AI doomerism, tech-bro cult logic, crypto flashbacks, and the eternal question of whether ChatGPT can survive our extinction with a healthy mindset.

Also, a real-time Zoom Pro upsell that briefly derails the entire episode, an ill-fated attempt to workshop a topical joke live on air, a Mitch McConnell conspiracy theory that gets us cease-and-desisted by imaginary lawyers, and a heartfelt tribute to Brad Pitt's drinking-again press tour. We also pitch a full Hollywood reboot starring disgraced international stunt performers instead of celebrities, and preview a listener-requested trip into Serial Experiments Lain and Evangelion territory for a future episode.
