S1E25 - For Exposure

This week Jesse and Kevin talk about exploiting workers, protecting your privacy, weird copyright situations, movies and tv shows that are objectively bad, and some that are obviously good. Jesse updated how he does the links, so Kevin has even less work to do in describing the episode for these notes. Did you know Jesse edits each episode? And writes the Links section you always find below these notes? All Kevin does is upload the episodes, writes these short blurbs and manages the hosting. And I guess they both keep showing up to talk to each other. So that's where they share the load some. Also Jesse and Kevin both write things in the third person when writing about the episodes. I guess it gives everything a sense of being a part of something larger. Like if they had an unpaid intern who did all the grunt work, and Jesse and Kevin just show up. But no. It's just Jesse and Kevin, doing everything. Links Kevin blocks ads with EFF's Privacy Badger. Jesse blocks ads with Ghostery and 1Blocker. The DECK and Project Wonderful are cool ad platforms. Mozilla makes a dumb ad supported browser called Brave. Sarah Jeong gave a great talk about ad blocking at the XOXO Festival. The Toast was a cool website that Hillary Clinton wrote for once. You should not do creative work "for exposure". Jesse is divorced, but his wedding photographers were incredible. Stan Lee doesn't own the copyright for his Marvel characters. Kevin has opinions on copyright that might make Jesse's sister mad. A monkey took a selfie and the copyright got complicated. wikiHow artwork is terrifying and makes for a fun game. Cookin Good was a bizarre cooking show on Austin's public access. The Room and Birdemic: Shock and Terror are good bad movies. Kevin thinks Dude, Where's My Car? is a good movie. (It's not.) Trekkies made fun Star Trek fans. The Middle-Earth canon is complicated. Movies with Mikey made Kevin and Jesse cry about Serenity. Sci-fi universes get weird when authors die. Kevin is currently reading Fluency by Jennifer Foehner Wells and March by John Lewis. Jesse thinks Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt are too attractive to be in space. Jesse finished watching Battlestar Galactica, Luke Cage, and The Crown; is now rewatching Parks and Rec. Parks and Rec "grew the beard" when Rob Lowe and Adam Scott showed up. Unprepared officially recognizes Taiwan as a sovereign entity. Kevin lays out the timeline of the Star Trek TV shows. Bryan Fuller is no longer involved in the Star Trek: Discovery.
