Salutations! The video for our first episode 1: markwardo (1/?) went up two days ago, so here’s an obligatory post about it. You can check out the first episode of It’s Not That Deep but Let’s Start Digging from pretty much any podcast app minus iTunes/Apple Podcasts, and the video for this episode can be found on YouTube below:
Skip to 00:05:30 if you don’t care about us talking about midterms (spoilers: they suck). The rest of the episode is us talking about The Social Network (minus a few minutes of housekeeping and a few tangential discussions). THIS EPISODE IS NOT SPOILER-FREE. If you haven’t watched The Social Network and don’t want to be spoiled, this episode is not for you.
Highlights from this episode’s video include:
some photos Meghana found online. I don’t really know how to describe the visceral reaction I had to some of the photos Meghana chose (”you think too much” is a personal favorite of mine)
a screencap captioned “this is the pg13 version” which is funny when you consider the entire movie is pg13
the part where I (intentionally but also accidentally) edited out I was talking about It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia so Meghana had to put in context through the video
a superb summary of our podcast, by Meghana: “Let’s Start Digging: The podcast where we don’t get around to the title of the episode until 50 mins into the episode”
The upcoming episode this Friday is a guest episode with our friend Shaye! It’s not about video games, but you honestly could be fooled into thinking it was. It does start the running gag that I constantly am just reading essays I wrote when I was in high school. (It originally started in this episode, where I spend a good amount of time talking about how jarrich from Silicon Valley and markwardo from The Social Network are similar thematically, but then the audio got screwed up and we rerecorded this episode.)
Anyway, please check it out on your preferred podcast app! (I personally use Pocket Casts.) But if you don’t want to listen to ninety minutes of us talking about The Social Network, but you do want to talk about the movie with someone, DM us or send us an ask! We’re completely open to talk about anything whenever, and I (at least) can give you fanfic recs for The Social Network if you’re interested.
