Contending at the Water Cooler‘M3GAN 2.0’ Review: Oops, She Didn’t Do It AgainOn this week’s podcast, we look at the making of a TikTok phenomenon and its surprising downfall in our M3GAN 2.0 review.

However, the film died at the box office this weekend, completely lacking any of the buzz and online excitement that propelled the original to nearly $200 million against a $12 million budget. So, what happened? We look at t...2025-07-0100 min

We discuss the pathologization of normal relationship dynamics through misused psychological terminology, and extensively examine Second Amendment jurisprudence, particularly Kyle's disagreement with the Heller case on original meaning grounds.Kyle critiques how terms like "narcissism" and "transactional relationships" are misapplied to pathologize healthy interpersonal expectations and natural give-and-take in friendships and romantic partnerships.
