Dubious Consumers #51 - Mixed and Sealed

Dubious Consumers #51 - Mixed and Sealed

So we tried something new.

It's my fault really. I think this sounds SOOOOO much better, but mixing it was a nightmare. For some reason, my audio was longer than Nathan and Schyuler's but you could still hear them, so I had to play around a bit.

So we talk things. I can't really remember. This is from July 16th, so prepare for some outdated but awesome talk.

Commentary starts at 9:18.

Thanks to everyone who supported us over the past roughly two years. Here's more to come!

Dubious Consumers #45: Long Live Cinema

A day late, not quite a dollar short . . . we're posting this episode just in time for most of the things we talked about to be out of Cinema and onto the home DVD market. Funny how things work out like this. We have a SPOILER CAST regarding Doctor Strange, but since Justin was feeling under the weather and migraine-arific, we didn't spend as much time on it as Nathan would've liked. Instead, we shift gears and talk about American Crime Story: The People vs OJ Simpson, Ash vs Evil Dead, Baskin, Arrival, Holy Mountain, and WestWorld. All that under an hour and a half. Enjoy!

Dubious Consumers #21: Producing vs Consuming

Dubious Consumers #21: Producing vs Consuming

Schuyler throws us for a loop when he talks about life instead of anything remotely nerdy. He gives us some Dragonball Z: Resurrection F before talking about his dog and fishing. In fact, I think this episode is all about subverting expectations. We finish our Consumation, only for Schuyler to sneak one in, which then transitions into a larger discussion about the remake culture we've found ourselves in and what people expect. Episode Music Rob Dougan's A Drawing-Down of Blinds / Valedico (Orchestral Session) 2Cellos's Thunderstruck
