181: Let’s Put a Smile on That Face! | With Captain Influence | Joker Review Oct 11, 2019

Show notes

The leaves are changing! Pumpkin Spice is in the air… We have our review of Joker today! Just like last week, we’ll start with the non-spoilery review and then move into the full spoiler version at the end of the episode! Is Joker worth seeing or not? There's a lot of controversy around this film AND... it isn't for the faint of heart. I'm not even sure I can recommend that anyone SHOULD see it... hmm... tune in for our thoughts!

ALSO, it’s time to get real… seriously… like really real… I have some questions for you that I'd really like answered. E-mail is below in the links.

Finally, we do talk a little about mental health, depression, tough times, etc. from a different perspective. We hope it makes you think a little and encourages you!

Show notes

Do you believe you have a choice in life? Let's say that something happens to you… do you believe you have the ability to choose how you respond to it? Let’s chat. OH! Did you know there’s a new Battlestar Galactica series and Matrix movie coming out? Whaaaaa…? And what do you think of gene editing? We’re gonna nerd out on that today! Plus this show just got significantly colder!

We welcome Miss Ice back to The Real Brian Show after a long, hard, almost 3 months. Today's discussion gets pretty deep into the idea of genetic editing/manipulation and then leading into the question of choice. It's a fantastic discussion and we'd love your input on it. So send us your thoughts!
