Questions for Our Third AMA

Why are you so biased against Ong's Hat? More seriously, could you chat a bit about the process you use to make the interstitial musical segments (Boss Baby, Building a Lifeline, Waiting on a Song, etc)? I'd especially love to hear from guest vocal talents about their experiences humoring your crazy whims, as Eleanor absolutely killed those recent ones.

Best fan interaction? Idk

Will you please watch the movie The Grimcutty? Please for the love of all things good and holy please watch this movie.

Could you expand on your your theories surrounding Avril Lavigne? I feel like we get tidbits every other episode and the people deserve to hear the truth.

Would you rather look like Jar Jar Binks, or sound like Jar Jar Binks?

If you were to design an immersive theater experience/escape room around Odyssey, what would it look like?

How did everyone meet, and would you all still be friends if you met each other today?

For each of you in turn: what’s your attitude to food and to cooking as an activity? Independent of allergies or dietary restrictions, are there any foods you go out of your way to avoid?

Is there anything you've thought about covering that you've decided against because it was too obscure?

We all know about certain obsessions with certain video games (thief, thief 2, Deus ex, etc.) but what video game would the crew like to make if they had the time and money to do so?

For as much as it comes up on the show as a north star of Christian children’s entertainment (Gerb withstanding), have you ever considered doing an outright episode on VeggieTales or its feature film efforts? Otherwise, has there been any consideration regarding the deluge of knock-offs that arose in the series’s wake (I.E. Dorbees, Gaither’s Pond, Hermie the Caterpillar (starring Tim Conway and Don Knotts), The one with sentient rocks that form a Christian rock band, the Christmas-themed pilot for a Futurama-esc series about robots learning about god and fighting a Jewish stereotype cyborg directed by the guy who did Hoodwinked, etc)?

you guys wanna make an evangelical RPG Maker game or something?

For the purpose of analytics, it was the "There Will Be Cuckoldry" skit from the Doki Doki Literature Club episode that made me a patron. I laughed so hard I couldn't breath, and have not felt that in years.

What actually good games do you want to play with similar vibes to outer wilds, disco elysium etc next? You alluded to Tunic recently and I'd love to hear you guys talk about that at length.

Who is the most righteous evangelical superhero, and why is it Bible Man?

what is aj's all-time favorite horse

Different question: would you support my plan to return the city of Toledo, Ohio to it's natural state of being an uninhibited swamp?

Can I make you all watch Goon (2011) a movie about a guy who beats up a homophobe so well that he gets a pro hockey contract?

Any chance you would review the West Wing or the Battlestar Galactica reboot?

Fav western movies? any plans for more on the genre? Walker, Nope, weird west, etc 🤷‍♂️? One of my fav ways to look at America yee haw 😔 🇺🇸

Having enjoyed the interstitials, have you considered producing an audio drama of your own? Or have those scratched that particular itch. If not, provided you had the time/drive/resources, are there any additional TWOPW projects you’d be interested in creating?

hey, it's me, guy-whose-wife-got-mad-at-him-for-talking-about-making-light-of-Jesus-Camp-immediately-after-the-overturning-of-Roe guy. Can you all apologize to my wife?

Oh, and a question that's been bugging me. Why didn't you save Team America for your annual Pearl Harbor Day episode? There's limited Pearl Harbor IP!

Say that all of the episodes of Odyssey you have covered had to be summarized and adapted into one short novel. What would be the actual plotline? Main themes? Central conflict? Genuinely try to adapt Odyssey into a masterpiece! (I just like it when folks try to find grand narratives in episodic media.)

Any theater anecdotes or future episode plans?

What are some other non-awful conspiracy theories you find interesting, such as “there are no nukes”? (Mentioned in the Marble Hornets episode).

Can we get an episode about Sandman? The show is great and I'd be happy with that, but obviously the comic is such an important work. And it's time for a comic episode. Even if it's the weird Angels as superheroes for Jesus Christian comic.

I wanted to answer "The knowledge of the Gerbert has greatly affected my mental health (derogatory)" but that wasn't an option for some reason.

i took psychic damage from Gerbert but i'm not even mad tbh. i recently re-listened to the Deus Ex episode and i would like to know: if you could be Deus Ex in real life, what augmentation would you max out and for what nefarious purpose?

Anything else you want to see on AO3?

For AJ: What non-Odyssey interstitial are you most proud of?

What is your opinion of Pope Francis, especially given his recent hate sp- I mean comments?

Fuck marry kill: The holy trinity?

I love the dives into Christian media that I have repressed. I also like all the forays into musicals, games, and movies y'all do. The evangelical nonsense feels like the core of your pod, but all the other topics and explorations elevate it. Honestly I could listen to you guys deconstruct pope milk for a whole episode, you have a great dynamic, humor, insights, and analysis.

Do you acknowledge Kalamazoo, Michigan?

You've dropped a couple of Guptill89 references before, including in the Gerbert episode, so my question is this: what are some more your favorite obscure internet videos in the same vein as Top 10 Hottest Sonic Females?

Midnight in the Gerbert of good and evil

I found a Gerbert Bump after listening to the episode but the doctors still don't know what it is my questions: - What's a piece of Christian and/or conservative media you each think is genuinely good? - As writers or actors, what characters or themes do you find most compelling?

I did enjoy the episode, but Gerbert has ruined my life even in the short time since its release.

Are there any ideas the three of you had for video essays or for the podcast that didn't work out, but that you still wish you could've done/might still give a shot in the future?

What have you been reading lately that you would recommend?

Best fan or community experience

If you had to just focus on one type of media for the podcast, out of everything you have covered, what would it be? E.g. musicals, videogames, TV, radio

Any plans to one day tackle the titan of Christian programming AKA Christian batman AKA Bibleman? That would definitely make me gerb!

Do you have any works that are formative or important to you that you want to cover, but just won't work in a podcast format? And also, which of the hosts would win in a fight?

Bold of you to assume I didn’t already have knowledge of Gerbert My question: If you were going to design a video game and you could make whatever you wanted, what sort of game would it be?

I'm Gerbing out!
