Art vs Pop, Enthusiast vs Casualist, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We talk Quentin Tarantino, Wes Anderson, "The Watchmen", "The Fifth Element", "Dunkirk," "Guardians of the Galaxy 2", and other blockbusters.

Also, "War for the Planet of the Apes" looks awesome and how Andy Serkis is utterly brilliant and amazing.

I'm pretty sure this episode is clean. It's late. Anywho, Luke and I get to talk to our buddy, Ben Walther of Ben Walther Music. We interviewed his wife and he's been jealous the whole time! Not really. We had a great conversation about what it means to be a man, initiation rites and our lack thereof, dadlessness and the Father, and then we take a hard right turn into music. Luke brings up his new fave that he found out is both Christian and Queer and what that means in our consumption of art. We end with me yelling at Ben to build something great online.
