    Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 164 – It’s All About Style

    In this episode of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast, Eloy Escagedo and Mark Lindsay open with a couple of series Eloy has been enjoying on Netflix, one of which being Cobra Kai. In this series, based on the Karate Kid movies of the 80s, the perspective is changed from that of the good guy to that of the perceived villain. In the re-imagined series, we see the villain of the movies wasn’t actually a villain at all. This brings up the topic of producers, directors, and performers taking characters we hold dear, and re-imagining them, sometimes changing genre, other times just changing the perception of those characters from a different point…

    Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 137 – The Flat Pineapple Theory

    In Episode 137 of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast: Flat Earthers. Do they really believe their theories? Are they just trying to keep an argument alive? Are they just doing it for the lulz? Or are they just after attention? Eloy Escagedo and Mark Lindsay delve into it. A brief discussion of the Placebo Effect follows, which leaves folks scratching their heads.

    Trampled Underfoot Podcast – 135 – Hypothetical Island

    In Episode 135 of the Trampled Underfoot Podcast: Is there really such thing as nothing? Does light have weight?

In a desperate attempt to change the subject, Mark makes another movie suggestion, and Eloy reveals the fact that he finally saw a movie that has been recommended by several of his friends – The Princess Bride.…
