Episode 34
The NFL championship was this week, and without fail the Macademia Nuts have opinions. Everything was fair game, including the halftime show, the game itself, and – of course – the commercials. The Nuts imagine who would be involved in the greatest halftime show ever. David argues Alec’s and Lindsey’s tastes when recommending the series Legend of Vox Machina. A discussion of the fate of Rick and Morty turns into a more serious discussion of abuse in Hollywood. Finally, the Nuts brainstorm what they’re going to do when Mickey Mouse becomes public domain after discussing the internet trolls' hot takes.
