Warning. You will be mad. We fiercely contest our favorite movies to the point of madness. And of course there are about two dozen other movies that are "runner up". Prepare for extremely subjective takes on some of the best takes in the world.
Devin and Luke were chatting about Doctor Who, so we decided to hit record and share this mini episode on our thoughts on what makes Doctor Who (and it's time travel theories) the best there ever was while also being a cheesy soap opera.
Deja reve? And that's only the beginning. Devin stumps us with logic questions ranging from infinity to not infinity while Luke shows us how our perceptions of morality are simply veils that protects us from insanity.
Devin here brings the logic and education to calmly inform us on how to properly logic. While Luke brings the heat (and possibly the lawsuits) by showcasing how some massive companies are really not all that great.
Does power corrupt, and if so, why? And does that mean that absolute power corrupts absolutely? Luke brings his fiction knowledge to the party and Devin fights back with that logical brain of his.
We are not holding back. Devin and Luke today are going through the lies, tricks, and tactics that scammy "internet marketers" use sell you a false dream and a lousy product. Head these warning signs and you just might make it through unscathed.
Devin goes all in. He does not hold back. Your favorite Marvel movie will be destroyed as Luke watches in horror. You probably aren't ready for this. You honestly shouldn't listen unless you want to be mad at Devin OR you don't care and just want to listen to 23 passionate movie reviews.
Devin and Luke are at a crossroads. Is Bohemian Rhapsody a good song or is it garbage. So we're solving this the only way we can, a formal debate. This could possibly end their friendship, so listen with care. This is not for the faint of heart.
Also, Devin asks Luke some riddles he can't answer. It's a fun time.
Devin speaks intelligently and gets political about critical theory while Luke rambles on about things that don't really matter. So business as usual in this episode of overthinking.
Devin today presents his thesis capstone explaining why every voting system is broken...with math.
Luke messes up spectacularly, Devin helps him out, and together we solve the most stimulating paradoxes of our age.
Luke talks about morality for maybe too long (lol, it's definitely too long), and Devin brings in some riddles to stump the all confident Luke on his deductive prowess.
These show notes are gonna be bad. Why? Cause I, Luke, am writing this. Devin is killing it with his business, so the sacred duty of these show notes rests upon my handsome shoulder (yes, I only have one, it’s a long story).

Teleporters...what are they? And are they destined to end all life on earth?
We are taking a break from our normal format… our 2 episode long “normal” format… I mean, if 33% of the episodes aren’t like that… I guess it’s still normal? But we're breaking down logical fallacies and discussing how to best reason.
Luke wanted to do this in the first episode but held back until the second. What an example of restraint. We're taking the trolley problem and taking it from the standard to the ridiculous. And Devin explains the Wim hof method to the incredulous Luke and shows how powerful the mind is in affecting the body.
In this episode, we discuss sonder, 12-year-scotch, how we think, and whether anything is even real.
