UPDATE: This has been recorded! We'll be posting the full AMA on Thursday, June 20.

Hey everybody!We got a LOT of new patrons this week (in what we're unfortunately referring to as "The Gerbert Bump" or "The Gerbump") so we thought it was time for a long overdue AMA bobus episode! If you've got a question for us, go ahead and comment on the post below and we might just answer it when we record later this week. This one will not only celebrate the rise of Gerbert but also the third anniversary of this very podcast!And, as always, a poll for engagement.What did you think of the Gerbert episode?

Comments

Jordyn Clementi

My favorite part of the episode was when Gerbert shouted "STAND BACK I'M ABOUT TO GERB"

Workers' Lit

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?

howl's moving pictures by rush

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?

MagicalMarvo

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

S-lappin

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

Marty Shambles

What’s your favorite play that’s not a musical?

Izzy Gil

Best fan or community experience

Izzy Gil

Have any of you heard or listened to Chappell roan

Zipzapzop

Favourite animated films?

Skrank Morley

What have you been reading lately that you would recommend?

Codsternation

“An immersive sim, such as Thief or Thief 2.”

BrianAlflordIsGoodActually

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?

Marcel V

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

Nemo

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?

John Leavitt

Midnight in the Gerbert of good and evil

Workers' Lit

Famous for its good lighting

Fatt Mox

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?

Sammy Jammy

Do you acknowledge Kalamazoo, Michigan?

No one said you have to live on Bob.

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.

CamelGunner

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

Jack Drummond

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

JGE

As a listener, my favorite is the commercial that turns into a dad trying to connect with his son.

JGE

Anything else you want to see on AO3?

doodlemancy

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?

Adam Kelly

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.

Dergon

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.

Dergon

*spins chair around* You know, Jesus was killed so we could marry him as the bride of christ. Also, fuck marry kill: Whit, Tom, Jack lol

Dergon

Muppet movie but Jim Williams is the only human and Gerbert is Danny. OMG Can we please get an episode about Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil? 🙏 🙏 🙏

John Leavitt

Never had a movie needed a queer director more and instead got the Straightest Man In The World behind the camera

Ryan Healey

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

Léandre

Any theater anecdotes or future episode plans?

Samuel E McConnell

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.)

Samuel E McConnell

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!

Forebodingburger

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?

s

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?

tristan

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 😔 🇺🇸

The Cube of Orbus

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

Nasti Nati

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?

Nasti Nati

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

max graves

what is aj's all-time favorite horse

Noah Hinrichsen

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

theboredbird

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.

Kenzie Leigh

I second this request! Goon is somehow the best movie ever.

S.

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.

Bruce

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

Trevor Sheffield

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)?

Jorg2 - the one who slips FTL a tenner

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?

Regular Sized Horse (Small)

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

Förfäders spår

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?

Noah

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

Ben Schrager

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

LucindaCordelia

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

Trevor Seyfried

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.

Jacob Lowdermilk

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

Izzy Gil

Best fan interaction? Idk

Gorbant

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.
