Jamison and Blake experiment with excellence in podcasting by including as many hard pivots as possible in this episode. We talk about the Oscars and why we don't care about them, about Gavin Newsome and why we don't care about him, and lament some really great underground Christian music zines from the 90s and why we did care about them. Also, more dad stuff. Then we turn our attention to 2014's Faults starring Leland Orser and Mary Elizabeth Winstead along with a cast of incredible character actors including Lance Reddick (RIP, he had not died at the time of our recording this episode!). We talk about cults, anti-cults and how sometimes there is just a hair's difference between the two. Also, we dig into why everything can become a cult. Including our podcast.
