Halloween, Sex and Violence in Media, Transhumanism, Being Grateful | Constellation, Episode 42

Yes indeed: It's time for another episode of Constellation, Last Stand Media's conversational podcast. This week, the Brothers Moriarty are joined by Defining Duke co-host MrMattyPlays and Sacred Symbols co-host Chris Ray Gun. Dagan brings a mighty topic this go-around, especially considering the time of year. Halloween draws near, after all. So how do we feel about it? Are we a fan? Were we as kids? Where do we stand now? Chris keeps things ethereal with his topic, one that will become more pertinent in decades to come: Transhumanism. Inspired by Cyberpunk 2077's recent expansion, Chris expounds on the many potential outcomes of a modified person, and wonders whether we've always been a little too eager to change ourselves. Like Dagan, Matty also taps the seasonal energy -- though a little further out on the calendar -- by asking what we're grateful for. But he has an important caveat, in that we should dig deep to find what we're really thankful for beyond the obvious. Finally, Colin wraps things up by asking the guys about violent and sexual content in the media we consume, whether via TV shows and movies, video games, and elsewhere. Has it all gotten out of control? He certainly thinks so.
