The Gayest Episode Ever 150th Episode Spectacular
Added 2022-05-11 20:45:52 +0000 UTCIt’s our 150th episode, and we’ve decided to celebrate this milestone with something different: a hot takes episode, where we share our pop culture hot takes and we also share hot takes submitted from our listeners. Disclaimer: we cannot guarantee that you will find all takes equally hot, nor can we guarantee that you will find this episode to be spectacular.
We did not, in the end, have time to get to every hot take submitted by listeners, but we thank you for submitting anyway and hope to address them in a hot takes follow-up episode, should that be deemed worthwhile.
And because we lifted this idea directly from a recent hot takes episode of the Guide to the Unknown podcast, here is that episode, which you may also like.

You helped me solve a 30+ year old mystery! I know exactly where the opening music you used for this one came from. Since elementary school, I've wondered if that was a real song or a ridiculous thing they made up to be used for a few seconds. Now I finally know. It's real and ridiculous. It's also the kind of thing I would have liked and not wanted to admit liking when I was ten. Now I can own that I might love it(?) and I'm going to force my husband to listen to it this evening. I'm so glad I know this now.

2022-05-12 15:48:57 +0000 UTCThe latest Matrix movie worked for me in an emotional level, which is kind of weird, because I only watched the second one once, I skipped the third one and I'm not even the biggest fan of the first one (though I agree that it's really good movie). This new one worked for me as kind of a metaphor of mid-life crisis, when you suddenly look around you and begin to question what your life has come to, what are you devoting your limited time and energy to, where your real interests lie, etc. And of course, you look back at your youth, at the dreams you used to have. Wouldn't it be nice to reconnect to that youthful spark? Maybe that's what Lana Wachowski was trying to do, in a way (and making tons of money, of course). With that interpretation in mind, the inserts of sequences from the first movie made perfect sense to me. This feels like the most human Matrix movie, and the first one where the Neo-Trinity relationship has worked for me. On a different note, I wholeheartedly agree with the Halloween hot take. Part of the problem may be that the first movie is so good and also, that the Michael Myers character probably works best as a cypher, so adding backstory just trivializes him.
