Constellation: Last Stand Media's Conversational Podcast

Welcome back to Constellation, the podcast that reminds you that there's so much in life to be grateful for! This week, Lockmort gets the conversation started with a discussion about the seemingly never ending glut of Disney remakes that we' ve all grown accustomed to over the past decade. As the controversial 'Snow White' live-action movie now looms on the horizon, we are once again reminded of the Mouse House's tendency to recreate their older franchises instead of inventing brand new characters and stories. Do we think it stinks? Next, the Dagster wants to speak with the gang about good ol' fashioned chivalry and what these ancient codes of conduct mean to us now in our modern world. Is helping old ladies across the street and holding doors for our fellow man still relevant today, and how has chivalry evolved since the days of old-timey gentlemen and virtuous knights? Last, Matty leads the crew in their reflections of 2024. As we prepare to close out another year, how do we look back on the last 12 months, and what are we looking forward to most in 2025? Also, we know "It's a Wonderful Life" was directed by Frank Capra not Billy Wilder, we were just testing you. Know it all.

It’s time for another episode of Constellation, Last Stand Media’s weekly conversational fever dream. On this week’s episode, the illustrious Gene Park (formerly known as Jeen “Mac Daddy” Parc) discusses “Masculinity” and how he and the crew feel about what it means to be a man in a modern world. We’re also joined by Ben Smith, the disgraced former mayor of Assassinland PA, who shrewdly used his inability to bring a topic AS a topic with “Writer's Block.” What a clever feller. Revoke his security clearance. He is dangerous. Chris Ray Gun, a straight man who thought Wicked was quote “fantastic,” hosts this week and gets a temperature check on the “Social Media Exodus” to BlueSky and Threads and whether it actually has a chance or serves any purpose. Enjoy the show while you can! Our planet’s magnetic field is temporary and very fragile and I will personally stop at nothing to keep it so.

ding-ding-ding! Let's get ready to podcaaaaaaaaast! Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome back to Constellation, the main event of conversational podcasts! For today's title bout, we've got three action-packed rounds for you. First, in this corner, hailing from Western Massachusetts, Mama Micah comes out firing with her topic about family heirlooms. Which important items and family relics hold the most sentimental significance for us, and what stuff do we plan to leave for our heirs when we bite the dust? Next to hop in the ring, Lord Cognito clobbers us with his topic, an exploration of our friends and family members that we would classify as 'ride or die'. Which people in our lives can we count on the most in both good times and bad? Last, the always scrappy Dagster Moriarty delivers a stunning blow with a discussion about the recent Mike Tyson versus Jake Paul fight. What thoughts do we have following one of the most hyped pop culture-meets-sporting events in recent memory, especially considering how it all turned out? Thanks for tuning in! You're the real champion for knowing a great podcast when you see it. Don King would be proud. I mean, he is proud because he's still alive, apparently. I just looked it up.

Thank you for joining us for another episode of Last Stand Media's Constellation! Your impeccable taste in podcasts has not gone unnoticed. This week, Summon Sign's Bradley Ellis chooses Pokemon as his topic, and the gang has a ball discussing one of the most successful media franchises on the planet. After decades of catching the hearts and minds of both children and adults the world over, what experiences have we had with the celebrated trading cards, video games and animated series? Next, Punching Up's Gene Park would like to digress for a bit of political discourse. Now that the 2024 presidential election is in our collective rear-view mirrors, Gene needs to get some things off his chest while also checking in with his cohosts concerning their post-election perspectives. Last, Dagan 'Dagster' Moriarty challenges his pals to a fun Pop-Culture Quiz! Two podcasting heroes find themselves locked in a bloody battle of nerdy knowledge, but only one can claim victory! (And of course, a special thank you to Jigglypuff.) Please keep in mind that our timestamps are approximate, and will often be slightly off due to dynamic ad placement.
