The only "prestige TV" things I've watched this year are Silicon Valley, Vice Principals and Mr. Robot, two of which listicle types hated because they're funny and the last one they all turned on because the second season was weird.

Vice Principals and Silicon Valley rule a lot. Mr Robot kinda isn't my scene but I like it's concept.

The whole 'prestige tv' idea is just a way to pretend somehow watching one dumb rear end show is inherently more noble than watching seinfeld reruns in your underwear

You can put all the fancy names on your project you want but there's no way to turn a couple of books written as crappy D&D knockoffs that will probably never be finished into must see tv

Episode 20 is amazing. I'm a huge MMA dork, so I feel like that episode was just for me.

I'm new to all this, started listening a few weeks back.

I just signed up for the patreon poo poo. I am now supporting two podcasts via patreon (YourMomsHouse is the other one). Life is strange and nothing matters.

It's cool when they get out of the politics wheelhouse and talk about other stuff they're super into also. I didn't know jack poo poo about MMA but it was cool hearing Felix talk about Kimbo Slice.

It's ok to like a Star War, I think, as long as you don't base your understanding of politics on it.

I mean it's essentially a children's movie but I had a good time seeing the new one in the theater with my family last Christmas

I just started listening, is there really a lot of mma talk in bonus episodes? I was thinking about subscribing but that might be a deal breaker.

It's only one episode and it's more about politics and history of MMA than like fight analysis or whatever. I guess there's also a bit where they talk about Kimbo Slice after he died but that's all I can think of.

It's only significant in that one episode. Occasionally Felix invokes an MMA reference, but they're fleeting.

There's one premium episode focused on MMA and very little talk outside of that one. I have zero interest in MMA/sports talk and I can't recommend the premium feed enough. Some of their absolute best episodes are premium and the first post-Trump premium was even better than the free one imo.

He won a shitton of money on Jeopardy and was one of the gamergate targets and vocal opponents so I followed him back then. He was kind of a extreme woke liberal twitter guy but during the primaries he got made fun by people on the left for tweeting that "you can dislike her politics but respect what a accomplishment Margaret Thatcher was!" He quickly started lumping in Bernie fans with GG and basically became a "leftists are worse than literal nazis because they're making fun of me" guy. People found his then-wife's tweets about him being an ant-covered gamer slob and there it goes.
