WEDNESDAY: We're creating worlds we don't understand and remembering the tower rotation as we go into the history and puzzles of MYST, the shockingly successful indie game from Cyan. It's maybe almost as good as The 7th Guest

Yup. In this episode, I say a whole bunch of bullshit

THIS WEDNESDAY: we're talking about the original reality show, and we're bringing @slowpuke.bsky.social along for the ride. Before Mr Beast, Oprah, Richard Simmons, Extreme Makeover and all the other weepy stuff you've seen on TV, there was the wretched 1940s abomination of QUEEN FOR A DAY

i was quite far into this episode, waiting for the hosts to reveal what the game was in this game show. it took so long for me to realize that the game was just a parade of human misery

I love screening this show for students when we do TV history just to see their horrified reactions. (saving for next semester)

TWOAPW #262: QUEEN FOR A DAY was an evil show that exploited women's suffering to get to the top of the ratings. But at least it was entertaining, right? Wrong! @slowpuke.bsky.social joined us to investigate this relic. The ur-text of reality tv

In which A.J. reads an excerpt from the novel he wrote in 4th grade where it is revealed that he knew next to nothing about geography and even less about how time works.

Brian really knocked it out of the park with the edit on this one and I gave Josh a reason to whip out his uncanny David Hayter impression in service of an interstitial that has fans raving: "that's not at all what happens in Metal Gear Solid" and "somebody should make A.J. play Metal Gear Solid."

TWOAPW #259 CHARLIE KIRK: AFTERLIFE Charlie Kirk's legacy is a cruel one. Those closest to him tried to sanitize and canonize it, and in doing so, helped create an astounding movement of dadaist mockery.

I'm not proud of my Alma mater, but they had a lot of good faculty. One was put on Kirk's Watchlist for writing seriously about racism, so like 50 other profs wrote an open letter asking to be put on the site as well

Got a real humdinger this week and an interstitial that I am determined to make as silly as humanly possible.

THIS WEDNESDAY: It's been a year and change since Charlie Kirk was publicly assassinated. We're going to dive into what happened between then and now, and how he, along with generative AI, has left a permanent mark on our culture that could have never been predicted.
