The second episode in a multi-episode arc about fandom. Here we are looking at the uses and gratifications model and how the four key elements play out (very superficially) in the Willverse. We also bring our firsthand experience from other fan
We are beginning our arc on fandoms. This is an area of serious academic study and Kristina has steeped herself in this research. We also bring our firsthand experience of various fandoms to the discussion. What's the right way to fan? What mot
We at GenXtemporaneous live a good documentary. Truth be told, we love some terrible documentaries, too. We've discussed Anna Delvey, Tiger King, and Natalia Grace. This week, we pull the lens back a little and talk about documentaries in gener
Every once in a while, we like to do a "What the fuck" episode. Themes are ripped from today's headlines, as they say, as Marc and Kristina comment on current events that cause them to shake their heads, quirk and eyebrow, or shocks them to the
We've talked about the hypothesis about living in a simulation. We've discussed some of the ways we might detect the simulation. This week, we just shrug and accept that we might live in a simulation. Now what? Marc and Kristina discuss the con
Welcome back to one of our favorite topics: the possibility of us living in a simulation. This week, we want to find a way to put this theory to the test. What would reveal base reality (assuming we aren't living in it now)? What kinds of tests
Previously released as a patreon extended discussion about Life Lessons in 80s Movies, we're sharing this talk about Dirty Dancing here this week. We are almost done researching our next episode on the simulation hypothesis, but we wanted to gi
Do we live in a simulation? Some people, including serious scientists, think we do. Marc and Kristina discuss this theory in a new arc of episodes about the Simulation Hypothesis. Simulation or not, this is an interesting and entertaining discu
This week, we discuss Artificial Intelligence in business with tech executive Leah Fox. How will AI assist us and how might it be problematic? Leah will discuss the ways it's being used today and assures is she has not been compromised by the e
This was a spontaneous--dare we say extemporaneous-- episode. We decided to just take on some random topics. It turned out hilarious and great. We discuss a tiktok fandom, White Gladys and other oceanic attacks on humans, and, of course, aliens
The discussion of the Strange Case of Natalia Grace winds up. This week we discuss the documentary in whole with special guests Kelly and Joann. Joann had been on this program before and is our cohost on the Vampire Insider podcast. Kelly helpe
The bizarre story of Natalia Grace wraps up with episodes 5 and 6. In these episodes, the limited focus of the documentary opens up somewhat beyond just Michael's narrative. This doesn't stop the squalor, weirdness, or confusion. --- Suppor
The Barnett Family continues their spiral into weirdness. Marc and Kristina dissect their parenting decisions as they have Natalia "re-aged" and move her out to her own apartment. And the mysteries surrounding her background do not become less
Episode 2 of "The Curious Case of Natalia Grace" is every bit as wild as the first one, if not more. Join our discussion as we speculate about both what is shown and, perhaps more importantly, what isn't being said. What is going on? Let's see
Natalia Grace was adopted by the Barnett family in 2010. Right from the beginning there was drama, doubts about her age and back story and allegations of attempted murder. We take on this bizarre story through the lens of the HBO Documentary, "
Last week, we discussed the series finale of Ted Lasso. Since then, we've seen the predictable kudos, laments, and discussions we would expect. That includes criticisms of people's genuine feelings about the show. Edge lords, in particular, see
We have been enjoying and invested in the positivity of Ted Lasso for three seasons. Join Marc and Kristina for their take on the season finale. Shockingly, they do not entirely agree. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.co
Welcome to our continuing discussion of life coaching. This time, we discuss whether overused buzzwords are problematic. As Kristina says, if everyone is a Narcissist then is anyone a Narcissist? SourcesCiccarelli, Saundra K, and J Noland. 2
This week, we continue our discussion of life coaching. This week, we focus on Lighthouse International, an organization in England ostensibly meant to enable personal growth and entrepreneurial success. It seems, however, that the only entrepr
Life coaches serve a variety of functions that include career advancement, helping to develop strategies for living, improve relationships, and many other areas where the consumer believes coaching will improve their chances for success. With a
This is the second episode in our war on science series and we are looking at what's going on in the anti vax world (they prefer to be called vaccine hesitant) and it ain't good. Thanks for listening please come back and listen again.CDC “Birt
Episode 5 description:This is the next installment in our war on science series and we're looking at the first episode of the Netflix documentary (un)Well "Essential Oils".  This trend is a little too soothing for us to go too hard at the conc
This podcast began many many episodes ago exploring the theme of the "War on Science." We have returned to it in grand style with a great conversation about the war on Science as illustrated in the 2012 documentary, "Revisionaries." The film ex
This week, we continue our arc of new GenX authors. This week, we are talking with the engaging Chuck Suffel about his new comic, Sherlock Holmes and the Wonderland Conundrum, a delightful mash-up of two iconic universes that, amazingly, taste
Join us for a fascinating discussion of the War on Science. What is the history of this war? Why are French philosophers making things more difficult for us? This is one of our favorite discussion arcs. Sources“What’s behind the U.S. War on
