The Viper talking with old podcast guest Seth Goldsmith. Good friends from high school talk life, work and love. Shout out croutons in salads. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
LA is under curfew and so this week's episode was recorded remotely, with Charles in the studio, Isaac at home in downtown LA, and returning guest Seth Goldsmith calling in from the world's worst Internet connection! Please excuse our audio issues. The show could be about little else this week and the podcast stereotype of three white men talking about the issues is fulfilled! Discussed: the murder of George Floyd, the subsequent national protests and looting, the responsibility of police violence, the impact on small businesses, and the destructive power of the media. Additional coverage: Seth's new character Right Wing Seth, a clip from an ancient and embarrassing NAHF episode from four years ago, and more!

VGATWTOE dives off-brand with a bonus episode that's not about video games! Seth Goldsmith (@infiniteseth) joins Reese to do a full episode analysis of the late capitalism nightmare: READY PLAYER ONE. We sneer in disgust at the sea of references, take a moment to slag TJ Miller, and puzzle over the ambivilant ending. We soften begrudgingly in the back half of the episode as we discuss Spielberg's career and a possible secret message hidden in the depths of the film and, in a touching moment, Seth gently explains to Reese the concept of art. Beware, we spoil the hell out READY PLAYER ONE and every other Spielberg movie and we don't give a damn. Alton's not in this one but he says hello and that he loves you.VGATWTOE is a podcast that reveals the truth about video games that those other video game podcasts don't want you to know.

Part 2 of a political trilogy with returning guests Seth Goldsmith and Joe Aprill! This week is all about elections over the next two years: will the SJW crowd vote for a white president? Is the "SJW crowd" even a thing, or just a part of the fevered imagination of the right? Also discussed: whither Steve Bannon, the lunatic Teddy Roosevelt, predictions for 2018 elections, and nuclear near-accidents.
This week's topic: the most controversial and divisive film of the year! Pro-Last Jedi guests Seth Goldsmith and Joe Aprill argue the merits of The Last Jedi against haters Isaac and Charles, although soon the battle lines are not so clearly drawn. Also discussed are whether the prequels were racist, why people arguing about space movies always resort to physics arguments, and the age at which you first saw Star Wars determining whether you care about it or not. Furthermore, would John McClane have voted for Trump and why hasn't Michael Bay been hit by the Weinstein Effect?
A few minutes of fresh, topical content with guests Seth Goldsmith and Joe Aprill. The Babe Magazine article on Aziz Ansari's possibly bad behavior is out and our panel of dudes investigates! Was it sexual misconduct or just a bad date? Also, what is going on with the fingers in mouth thing? Also covered is Aziz's TV show Master of None and whether his character should be seen so sympathetically. This episode will assuredly age well.
In this episode there are not 1 but 2 guests! Right before we jumped on the phone with Charles Hood (Director of Night Owls) he told us that Seth Goldsmith was also available for the interview. What transpired was a conversation about "the creative process" held between 2 pairs of friends who love movies and have a blast talking about them!
Team Teaching by Charlie Harper and Seth Goldsmith making the church aware of our role in foster parenting, adoption and orphan care
Another round of discussion on the appropriateness of punching Nazis! In the pro-punch corner is returning guest Seth Goldsmith, who situates violence against Nazis as the only way Nazism has been defeated in the past. Isaac provides a definition of fascism that Charles and Seth disagree with. Charles posits the Westboro Baptist Church question again. Isaac makes an odd comparison, and things end with a religious freedom discussion. Music: www.bensound.com
Isaac has a popular article out called "If Trump is Impeached, It Might Be the End of America" (https://medium.com/@IsaacSimpson/if-trump-is-impeached-it-might-be-the-end-of-america-b7a2243399b7), and that serves as the core question of the podcast: would Trump's impeachment and removal from office cause his supporters to "check out?" Today's guest is writer Seth Goldsmith, and he and Charles probe Isaac's thesis. Also discussed: the perennial question of whether Trump has any plan for governing as well as Seth's film Night Owls (https://www.netflix.com/title/80091636). Music: www.bensound.com
