S1E12-- Episode 12: Gender Bender
The gang takes on perhaps the most terrifying topic of all time: Gender?? In this episode, Scully and Mulder are on the hunt for a gender-morphing serial killer, and in the process, investigate a sect of totally-not-Amish people called the Kindred. In the process, we go into the politics of gender, the exploitation of religious communities, and also anti-Luddism. We go a lot of places, is the thing. Enjoy!Cohosts:Mae Barnes (she/her)John Watson (they/them)Bill Eldridge (he/him)

S1E11--Episode 11: EBE
You know that paranoid feeling you get when you feel like you're on the edge of something great, only for the rug being pulled out from under you? That's what watching this episode feels like. The gang talk about a Syndicate episode involving everything from internet weirdos to Gulf War syndrome, and the multiple red herrings on offer.

S1E10-- Episode 10: Eve
This week, the gang looks at a genuinely good, plot-twist filled episode: EVE. There really is an absurd amount of chaotic content in the episode. From cattle mutilation, nuclear weapons, fracking, the Boys from Brazil, cloning, eugenics, and the popular sentiments towards autism and vaccines... look, it's a lot. We're here to explore and explain it all, if you are willing to go on a ride with us.

We are back with the first half of a two-parter! The holiday season is upon us, so why not get a bit Dickensian with it and talk about the potential psychic blowback of the spirit world--starring famous character actor Brad Dourif. We discuss the impact of grief, death, life, David Lynch, dream-logic, and whether or not Dourif has more than one character type in his repertoire. We'll return next week with the second half, but this should hopefully tide over any hungry ghosts in the audience. Bon appetit!Your cohosts:Bill Eldridge...

It is everywhere, and it's dangerous. Bullshit is the primary language of our fascist regime, and so we need to know what it is, how it works, who uses it and why. To do that, we brought our friend Billie Hoard onto the show, whose newest project is exploring the dynamics and mechanics of bullshit in our modern communication landscape. Join us for an excellent and earnest discussion on bullshit, because somebody's got to talk about it and it might as well be us. Buy Billie's new book here: https://wipfandstock.com/9798385213726...

Billie is a teacher, an anarchist, a mennonite, and a theologian who has a curious and fascinating focus: the psychology and theology of disgust. She joins us on the podcast to talk about her upcoming book about the psychology of fascism and how it's animating disgust can be fought with a counter-virus, the eucontaminative power of Jesus. She also talks to us about her perspective on anarchism, the joy of queerness, and the power that we wield fighting fascism with the love of Christ. _____________________________________________

A Conversation about Queer Theology with Mae Forrest Barnes
I'm really pleased to bring you another interview. My guest today is Mae Forest Barnes, someone I've gotten to know remotely via social media for the last year or so. But as I watched her comment and interact, one thing really stuck out: she made various comments about queer theology.
