Josie & the Pussycats - is capitalism bad? (ft. Crista Llewelyn)

When marketing madman Gavin found a way to put ads inside music, Sage knew they just needed the perfect podcast guest to set their sinister plan in motion. Then they found Crista, and her band “Josie and the Pussycats,” and knew they had a hit. Is Rachel Leigh Cook the world's most perfect woman? How cute is the FBI? And is Capitalism...bad? Is it bad? Like, maybe it's a destructive force that consumes all who oppose it and causes significantly more ill than good? I don't know, it's just a theory I'm working on. Crista's brand new makeup tutorial channel is up NOW at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQtF5LJL2-BQ4U_HhXYZMZw , and you can also check out her DND-ish podcast, "Dice Try" wherever fine pods are casted.

Blade & the DGA (Ft. Lincoln Myers)

Lincoln Myers is an Assistant Director who has worked on Big Hollywoo fare like Batman and Robin, Liar Liar, Bloodfist 6, as well as...1998's Blade! But more importantly he is our vampire master and if we do good maybe someday he will grant us some of that sweet sweet immortality. Join us as we talk about cutting teeth on Roger Corman films, our favorite takes on Dracula, and the legacy of Wesley snipes. What wine pairs best with a Blade Rewatch?

Bond. Timothy Bond (Ft. Sean Lynch)

The Living Daylights. License to Kill. A third movie that never got made. Who's your James Bond? Sean Lynch's is Timothy Dalton, for some reason. Join us for a reductive history lesson on all things Bond, an intimate discussion of Dalton's jawline, and some bond pitches. Note: this episode is currently not working on spotify, for some reason. You can listen to more of Sean's voice at his podcast TAPEHEADS, where he shows his wife VHS tapes he knows way too well. It's cute. And coincidentally, you can listen to both Sean and Gavin talk about making Lynch's directorial debut "Red Snow" over on Alrik's podcast MAKING MOVIES IS HARD.

Sage and Gavin call up their favorite anti-fascist wallaby, Andrew Callaway, to find out how to escape the trappings of corporate drudgery at Conglom-O. Though they might all swing by the demo pit at the Jackhammer Expo first... What made Rocko's Life so Modern? How's Sage's Australian accent? Are you ready for your Gross up? Find out on a very revolutionary episode of Is This Still Good?

Hey Arnold! & Big City Livin' (Ft. Max Hampton)

Gavin and Sage were practicing their secret handshake when Max, the keeper of urban mythology, began a to unspool another tale. Gather round, as we delve into the secrets of Hillwood.

The Mask & making a live action cartoon (Ft. The Perez Bros)

Sage and Gavin were just a couple of nice guys working their bank jobs when the Perez bros burst into their lives dressed in zoot suits and green masks. Now they're on a rampage through Edge City, and I don't think the pony tail mob or bumbling detectives can stop them. Has anyone ever had a better year than Jim Carrey in 1994? Can one survive a muffler enema? What makes Ska so sneaky? Find out on a very smokin' episode of Is This Still Good?

The Lost Boys and the Seedy Side of Santa Cruz (ft. Sam Barrow)

What's with Corey Feldman's voice in this movie? Is Speed 2 a movie that happened? And most importantly, who is sexy sax man? Get on your bike and meet us at the lair for the answers.

Shaka Zulu- Additional Content (with Hilton Day)

Hilton returns to talk about the state of the world, as well as the Shaka series we SHOULD have watched, a 1985 miniseries that looks good, has actual historical value, and also there's a witch in it? It also has the dopest theme song this side of Madagascar. We also talk about the richest man in history, African explorers, working with Jonathan Majors, and of course the tragic passing of Chadwick Boseman (who used to buy books from Hilton's mom). You can find the HD series of Shaka Zulu at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcJmF-_zW_evwW0IdSZ-01DY7ITFknpn3 Let us know if you want to hear more of these unedited interviews.

Hit 'em up by Tupac: A History of Feuds ft. Thomas Churchill (Is Song Still Good?)

Rapper (and former NBA all star) Thomas Churchill returns to the podcast to guide the boys through the East/West coast rivalry in '90s hip hop, a feud that really claimed more lives than it should have. The history of diss in hip hop is fascinating, and you absolutely should not bring your kids.. Did Jay z's mom really make him apologize to Nas? Is Alaska on the West coast? Are any of us in a feud with Takashi 69? There's literally only one way to find out, and it's not by reading the show notes. You can find Thomas rapping on the internet under the name Al Patrone, or with his group Blaze Wave at https://hellaskeletonsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/pendemic . He also may or not have a podcast coming up, he's being pretty vague about it. You can also find beats that Sage made in high school at https://soundcloud.com/sage-bilderback, although I'm not sure why you'd want to.
