Ross and Ryan are joined by historian Max Felker-Kantor to talk all about anti-drug films and Max's new book on the history of the infamous D.A.R.E. program. Together, they look at how drug abuse awareness programs have changed in America, how they haven't, the role that these films have in shaping our relationships to policing, and which Teenage Mutant Nina Turtle is appropriate for a conversation about not using marijuana.

Ross and Ryan take a look at one really bad film starring one really good actor- the 1982 TV movie "Mazes & Monsters" with Tom Hanks. Were role-playing games really turning America's youth into Satanists? "60 Minutes" sure seemed to think so! Also, Ross shares his prediction for the end of "Stranger Things". This is a deeply unserious episode about a deeply stupid movie.

Ross and Ryan begin their multi-part series on the history of Japanese anime and its reception in the West by talking about one of their all-time favorites, Katsuhiro Otomo's "Akira" (1988). They go through the development of filmed animation in Japan and the United States, how the two cultures influenced each other, and the surprising cartoon icon who connects them. Honestly, this episode could have easily been about 14 hours long and there still would have been more to cover.
