The future is grim, folks. "Deepfaking" tech is here, and horny nerds are using it for evil deeds. But deepfakes go much deeper than that. On top of its its porn applications, we talk Hollywood, advertising, jobs and politics, and then in general ramble about AI and machine learning, during which, Caleb has an existential crisis. We end the episode with some sad farewells.Turn That Off! is a podcast that examines the spectacle of popular culture, exploring the bizarre relationship between humans and the (often terrible) media we consume.

Juggalos: unjustly maligned, or simply misunderstood? The subculture that started from the streets of Detroit is a hotly contested subject. Juggalos were estimated to have over a million members at their apex, and was even classified as a gang by the FBI. But their own members say they're more of a support group who share a common love of the band Insane Clown Posse. Join TTO as we explore the fandom, and ask the question: what is a juggalo?

DC's Joker was released this week to simultaneously thunderous uproar and acclaim. Early critics boasted the movie's brilliance, giving it an eight minute standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival. Audiences gave it a score of 90% on Rotten Tomatoes. However, there also seems to be a class of (often deeply cynical) pundits and critics who found the movie problematic, culturally tone deaf, and even dangerous, citing the mass shootings in Aurora and recent acts of Incel violence. Many critics vowed to not see the movie, despite writing about it at length. So, which is it? Is the film a misunderstood masterpiece, hamfisted Todd Phillips bro slop that stands on the shoulders of giants, or something else entirely? Shea, Kasey, and Caleb remote in for a special bonus episode discussing the movie and the hubris surrounding it.

Who are incels? Is it a subculture simply predicated on disenfranchised young men not being able to obtain intimacy, or is it something darker? Turn That Off! has spent the last year in deep cover, talking to incels and trying to understand what drives their culture. Join us for part one of a two part deep dive, where we go over a glossary of incel terms and explore the incel community's diluted origins.

Two weeks ago we teamed up with Chris Birkinbine from A Dash of Science Podcast! Chris serves his community by participating in STEM programs with the local schools, and the Chief Science Officer for the Organization of Space Flight Professionals. When he isn't podcasting or volunteering, he works as a Range Systems Engineer for NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center.  We have been fortunate to be able to have a knowledgable guest help us run through our research before recording day. TTO is collectively scientifically illiterate, but we are dedicated to stating our biases, and getting our facts right. So we brought a smart guy to give us dumb guy explanations. Chris, it was a pleasure to have you on our show. We look forward to working with you again!

Caleb grew the pony tail. Scott took his homework so seriously he turned into a UFO truther. Shea moved to Portland. Kasey paid money for the DVD box set of Ancient Aliens. We've all made sacrifices to pull this one off. This episode is the first of a two-part series on the spectacle of the UFOs, Ufologists, the truthers on Yahoo Answers, and an otherwise carefully curated selection of interesting sightings and reports. We sourced our friend, NASA scientist Chris Birkinbine, host of A Dash of Science podcast, to be our subject matter expert and fine tune our research. To hear his take on our research on UFOs listen to our bonus episode attached to this drop! In this episode, we discuss six UFO encounters in depth. They are:1. The Rosewell UFO Crash/Incident2. Japanese Airlines Flight 16283. The Ariel School Sighting in Zimbabwe 4. The USS Nimitz "tic tac" sighting5. Charlie Red Star6. The Minot Air Force Base incident, and associated sightings.

Finally, a topic we all can agree on! The boys tear into George R.R.

Scott bends the knee as we make him watch the Red Wedding, Caleb rants off on George R.R. Martin's lack of time management skills, Shea brings some spicy hot takes from R/Freefolk, and Kasey starts a discussion about delayed gratification and character deaths that quickly degenerates into an open forum on cum madness.      We are proud to announce that Turn That Off!

Why does the entertainment industry put more money behind milking an IP dry instead of investing in new ideas? Scott is this episode's QB this week as Shea, Caleb and Kasey each bring a TV reboot (Star Trek Discovery, Battlestar Galactica, Roseanne) to the table to compare and contrast it to the original show. The crew also takes turns pitching their own reboot to network executive, Scott George aka John NBC aka Stephen CBS aka Mr. Universal.      We are proud to announce that Turn That Off!

Shea and Kasey caught the measles so we decided to ask them to stay out of Studio A until the virus runs course. In the mean time, special guest, David Olivas joins us to pick apart the first month of the NFL offseason. We talk about Robert Kraft's game day tug-off rituals, Antonio Brown dumping his trade value, and question Scott's jock status with a lazy lightning round of starting Hogskin Quarterbacks of 2018-19.

Continuing off last week's episode (TTO's Vaccination Destination) Caleb delivers the results of a 5,000 response survey he posted on Pro/Anti-Vax social media. The crew turns the survey results into a game: How hard was Caleb brigaded and which group did it most? Join TTO as they unpack the toxic discourse of vaccinations, the irreparable damage done to Caleb's social credit, round table hot takes on personal responsibility, and a little bit of Carl Sagan in the finale of our two-part Vaccination special.    We are proud to announce that Turn That Off!
