Episode 10: The One Where We Give Erica The Mic

We’re back from vacation and better than ever! What do we mean by better than ever? We mean that Erica is taking the reigns on today’s episode. 

Erica sits down with three seasoned industry vets to get their perspective on the current SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes. This week’s episode is a deep dive into what many “blue collar” actors, actresses and writers are experiencing both in the context of the strikes, and the impacts of AI and steaming services. 

This episode is a follow up to our previous episode “Scabby’s Angels” so if you’d like to hear more context around these strikes that episode will provide a lot more information.

Check out Regional's novel The Calling that his upcoming TV series will be based on.

Episode 9: Scabby’s Angels

The myth. The legend. The rat. Scabby sways in the breeze nearby any strike as an icon of worker solidarity and warning to those who dare cross the picket line.

Meanwhile, other equally famous icons are joining ranks with the “blue collar actors” to ask for a better deal.

What are the strikes about? Do the wealthy and famous deserve to be there? Who’s a scab and who’s fab? And do frogs deserve love, too?

Join us this week on a journey off-world to discover the truth about non-human biologics.

Why are we talking about this now? Should we care? Is Taylor Swift an alien?

Episode 7: You Coulda Had a Bad Bitch

In this week’s episode Erica takes us to church as we discuss bums, crumbs and scums, and all the toxic masculinity they bring with them. Fueled by Barbie, the pod squad tackles questions like “When does therapy speech become toxic therapy speech?” And “Keke Palmer is dating someone?”

Join us as we dissect Jonah Hill’s leaked texts and google Keke Palmer’s baby daddy’s name so you don’t have to! We’re getting to the bottom of why some men can’t simply let women be who they need to be, and why everyone wants a bad bitch until they have a bad bitch.

Episode 6: Reacting to PragerU

If you’ve spent any amount of time on YouTube or Facebook there is a really good chance you’ve seen an ad for PragerU. But what is it? Yet another cut-rate online university or something a little more sinister?

Join us as we force ourselves to gaze into an abyss filled with strawman arguments, cherry-picked statistics, and masterful oversimplifications that any kindergartener could understand on a range of topics from climate change denial to FEMINISM BAD! Who needs peer-reviewed research and nuanced discourse when you can have snappy animations and oversimplified solutions?

Episode 5: Note-worthy App-ologies

Let’s delve into the bizarre world of celebrity apologies made using the Notes App, Videos, and Musical Numbers.

First up, we dive into the apologies of internet sensation Miranda Sings / Colleen Ballinger. We analyze her apologies that blurred the lines between reality and the eccentric online persona. Was there true remorse, or were these apologies merely a part of the act?

Next, Andrew brings up the unsettling apology of Kevin Spacey. Join us as we explore the questionable timing, vague language, and the overall sense of denial that made this apology fall flat.

But, the ride doesn't end there! We finish up with the wild journey through Justin Timberlake's infamous Notes app apology to Britney Spears. Brace yourselves as we unpack the cringe-worthy snapshot that left the internet in an uproar. 

Grab your favorite pony, fasten your seatbelts, and get ready for a comically candid episode of Hellscape Carousel that will leave you questioning the art of apologizing in the digital age. Tune in now, and let's ride this carousel of celebrity apologies together!

Episode 4: The Price of Tickets is Too Damn High

This one goes out to everyone who risked financial ruin to see Beyoncé or Taylor Swift this summer! We’re making the math math on why it costs a small fortune to see your favorite artists perform live… on a screen because floor seats cost more than a car. We’re also crowd-surfing into the hellscape that is fans acting out of line at shows.

The best part about this episode? No hidden fees.
