It’s all been leading to this. Episode 300. The BIG one. The Dune Part Three trailer dropped 3 hours before we started recording. THEY KNEW. Plus It’s the return of the co-hosts of the movie prop podcast, The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of, show-runner of House of the Dragon Ryan Condal and the showrunner of Veep, Dave Mandel! And we’re going as big into The Big Ones as you can get…Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining. Also, be sure to stick around for the end of the letter segment. Our incredible voicemail cast created a 10 minute radio play that is just dynamite! Thank you to everyone who’s listened to us over the last 6(!) years.

Listen, we are all trying to make sense of our being led into another war, this time in Iran, and SHOCKINGLY have the complete imbeciles who run our country be woefully unprepared for the repercussions. Well, when former Deputy National Security Adviser and co-host of Pod Save the World, Ben Rhodes called us up and asked to come talk about it with us, we jumped at the chance! Plus we talk the Oscar winning Ben Affleck Iranian conflict classic, Argo. Do not miss this ep.
