Kenmily welcomes writer/director Joseph William Lewis to the show to discuss Joe Dirt, 9/11, and the magical art of disguise. Watch Joe's feature film A/V (starring Kenn!) completely free on his YouTube channel at youtube.com/ToastedSchizo.
Renaissance Man Kenn Edwards jumps on the mic with me to discuss the possibly(?) underappreciated episodes “Ted” and “Bad Eggs.” He brings with him his unique sense of...let’s call it whimsy, and his particular gift for finding a metatextual angle to every pop culture conversation. For example we talk about how Ted Buchanan represents the “programming” of entitled white males; how Buffy the Vampire Slayer knows we hate how clueless Joyce is and keeps on beating that dead horse intentionally to make us all feel as frustrated as her daughter does; we ask what’s up with all those upside down items in the school vending machine; and Kenn say I really need to look at the ultra-cheesy rubber monsters on the series in a completely different way. Bonus: I make a controversial confession. Cue the torches and pitchforks. Next: I’m joined by James Rocha, Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Fresno State and contributor to Slayage: The Journal of Whedon Studies. We’ll be discussing the one-two punch of episodes 213, “Surprise” and 214, “Innocence.” THE BREAKDOWN Intro / Guest (00:00:00 - 00:10:20) Main Topic (00:10:20 - 01:45:05) Outro / Next (01:45:05 - 01:51:52) THE LIBRARY The Sandman Companion, by Hy Bender THE LINKS The Alex Jonestown Massacre - “What We Do Is Stupid” The Joke, a film by Kenn Edwards A / V, a film by Joseph William Lewis, starring Kenn Edwards THE MUSIC “Conversations (feat.

KENN EDWARDS and JOSEPH WILLIAM LEWIS, great friends and former Debatable guests, return together to talk about the big questions! Starting as having no idea what we were going to discuss, we quickly found ourselves jumping into the worries & concerns that kind of plague adult life. We explore maturity, generational differences, what makes a man, how we define success, how marriage and kids fit into our life plans, being present for one's existence and a shitload of philosophical questions along the way. Later, we revisit the topic of filmmaker Kevin Smith, being a part of his coterie audience and what we thought about his new film, "Tusk."
