Heat Death of the Universe

092 - The Last Gasp of the Bush Years or: Where the Laughter Died feat. Boomer Death Squad

We discuss our viewing of the abysmal, terminally unfunny, conservative skewering of 2000s era liberalism An American Carol. We take a crack at what exactly it is that keeps certain political comedy from being funny and ideologically coherent at the same time, and what renders certain comedy toothless and painfully unfunny. Nevertheless, we keep things pretty loose and digressive in the spirit of mutually celebrating a year in podcasting with our pals Danny, Joe and Matt from Boomer Death Squad.
