TRASHFUTURE

 For our first TF episode of 2025 (recorded in 2025, that is), we're talking about recent events in the United States, plus Elon Musk's decision to weigh in on British politics and its downstream effects: ruining Keir Starmer's toboggan ride, among other things. We very much hope you enjoy.

This episode was originally published as a Patreon-only bonus episode on October 11, and we've unlocked it to ensure that there's holiday content available!

 

We are joined by Hesse Deni (@ZeroSuitCamus) of the Seeking Derangements and Movie Mindset podcasts to discuss A VERY ROYAL SCANDAL, another installment of British TV movies dramatizing the Prince Andrew Newsnight interview…but this time with an inexplicable voice. No, literally, what is going on with the way they’ve depicted Emily Maitlis’ voice? It’s a baffling assembly.

Our last free episode of 2024 involves Riley, Milo, and November watching the Rock in a terrible Christmas film entitled RED ONE. It’s a film in which Christmas is saved by the surveillance state, jacked Santa trains in the gym to do room-clearing and be an operator, and so much more. This is our present to you: we have suffered.

For this week’s bonus, we’re talking about the Starmer / McSweeney government getting outflanked on the left by frothing reactionaries because of their steadfast devotion to water companies being in private hands, and bad. We’re also talking about an amazing recent article about the mad boy king septuagenarian pub magnate who loves closing his pubs permanently as punishment for the slightest infraction. He’s real, and he’s (obviously) British.

We’ve brought on friend of the show Josh Boerman from The Worst of All Possible Worlds to discuss recent drone/UFO “sightings” in the US, the AI filmmaking industry (which sucks), the AI games industry (even worse), and recent revelations that a certain Royal has been getting in trouble yet again—but not for the reasons you’d think!

Middle East correspondent Séamus Malekafzali returns to discuss Syria - a retrospective on Ba’athism, Assad, and for the first time after decades of moral panic about Islam… moderate jihadism is back, baby! Also - Ehud Barak’s camera company, and finally cutting the budget of the DfE.

Starmer, in a bout of what some people are calling “Extreme Popularity,” is relaunching his government after only a few months, despite winning basically a historic majority. He’s turning to the tried and tested policies, the old favourites - running government like a business, cutting the budget, and of course… a cop in every house. Also, we look at two Thiel Companies (Sauron and Orchid), and an exercise in public speaking gone wrong courtesy of our friends at 404 media.

Luke Savage (@LukewSavage) joins the gang to talk all things Canada, and the drubbing the feckless Justin “Northern Gavin” Trudeau is anticipating from the one and only “Maple DeSantis,” Pierre Poilievre. Plus, we pay our solemn respects to (former) UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson, the newest victim of America’s gun violence epidemic.

We bring ill tidings… a man with the physiognomy of Humpty Dumpty, except with billions of dollars and a grudge against Wokeness, has brought news of innocent venture capitalists being de-banked for the mere crime of committing securities fraud! That’s right, Marc Andreessen is finally free to say the word even louder than before, and he joins fellow Web 1.0 robber barons in coalescing around Trump part 2. To discuss this, we’re joined by friend of the show Brian Merchant (@bcmerchant), who has a new podcast with fellow friend of the show Paris Marx called System Crash that you should check out!
