My friend Gus (who you might remember from the Steven Universe episode) was nice enough to come in and steer the ship for these particular episodes. In part one we talk about how I found the band, "bad news about Ginsberg", gaslighting and the collapse of my support...2018-12-021h 10Mindful Self IndulgenceEP 07 "Manifest Density" - Pokemon With FoiledFeline (Part 2 of 2)On the second half of our conversation with FoiledFeline we continue our conversation about Pokemon and everything else including our thoughts on Gens 6 and 7, dumb bumper stickers and dumber dudes, "privilege isn't a ladder", "why the f@%# am I doing a podcast?", landlines and the evolution of social faux pas, ideas about a possible future D&D episode, "but languages though!", labels and gatekeeping.

We go into how things get lost in translation when adapting novels to film, how pulp cinema is embracing long form storytelling and a wider scope in recent decades, post scarcity, mankind's perpetual cycle of consolidation of power and rebellion,the eldrich horror of omniscience, the trolley problem but with mass genocide and whether media exists in a vacuum.
