We talk about politics a lot because are political nerds, but this election season has been something else. In our latest podcast we talk about the recent crazy comments by Trump and the subsquent GOP panic as he starts to lose ground in solidly republican states and more and more republican insiders take a stand against him. We discuss the nature of punditry and how elections take shape in a democracy that is post-factual. We explore how media and education have fundamentally contributed to a weakening republic and the birthed populism. We spend the rest of the episode reviewing Suicide Squad (SPOILER ALERT). We also talk about the movie in the context of the DC cinematic universe, the comic book universe, and what it truly brings to the story of DC.
