Brazilian twins Fábio Moon and Gabriel Bá created Joe’s favorite comic ever, Daytripper. They call it “an honest meditation on mortality.”

How can a comic about death make a person want to live more and better?

"We did it, Joe: we listened to Bruce Springsteen's entire* discography!" - Steve, probably.

*Dude put out an EP literally on the day we recorded this episode.

No, we're not doing another one on it.

We conclude our Bruce Springsteen miniseries with conversation about his last(?) E Street Band album, Letter to You and his...singular R&B covers album, Only the Strong Survive.

Does Steve love The Boss the same way? Can Joe admit that he likes Bruce Springsteen?

Joe and Steve make their way through the tumultuous discography of Bruce Springsteen in the 2010s.

Is Wrecking Ball that destructive?

Does High Hopes live up to its expectations?

And on Western Stars, Bruce asks the question no one asked: What would it sound like if a man from New Jersey wrote a western?

You should go watch The Lorax.

Vampires, the blues, and social commentary, oh my!

What makes Sinners such a great and important movie?

Joe and Steve crack open some (non-sponsored) seltzers and dive deep into Sinners, Ryan Coogler’s genre-busting vampire period piece. To cap this episode, two very special ladies share some recommendations.

Liner Notes:

• Why Are the Sinners Vampires Irish?
• Spike Lee on Ryan Coogler & Why 'Sinners' is "The Greatest Experience"
• Yes, Sinners is THAT Good
