      <title>The AI Doc that scared Me w/ Oscar Winner Daniel Roher | (VICE Culture Club Ep8 Pt.1)</title>
      <description>We sit down with Daniel Roher - Oscar winning director of Navalny. We ask him about the making of that movie and what it was like to be in the center of the world’s biggest story.  He also has two movies coming out.   “The Ai Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist” in late March.  Tuner in May.   Ai doc truly shook me and I am looking forward to picking his brain on it. I’ve never been more scared for the future and i’m glad he came in the studio to talk me down.   In May Tuner hits theatres, it’s a fun movie about a piano tuner turned safe cracker with Dustin Hoffman and Leo Woodall.   We ask him about what it’s like to transition from documentary to fiction and also to rank the best movies based off of America’s failed healthcare system.

      <description>We have an Ai double feature.  We got the director and main character of “The Ai Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist” in part 1.  In part 2 we get Oscar winning director and producer of Everything Everywhere All At Once and Swiss Army Man to chat about their roles in the Ai Doc.  They also have to perform a bit of a therapy session for Jackson as their film truly shook him about the future of humanity.    We also have some fun talking about a potential all Daniels adaptation of the book of Daniel from the bible.   We talk about what got left of the cutting room table for Swiss army man, spoilers, not much.   At the end we finish with a game of Do’s and Don’ts.

      <title>The Internets Last Great Music Critic Anthony Fantano  | VICE Culture Club Ep2</title>
      <description>We speak with Anthony Fantano, the internet's busiest music nerd.  He is one of the last great music critics left.  Love him or hate him, people want to hear what he has to say about their favorite bands' music.   We get into algorithms and the death of monoculture.  Fantano fights back about there not being a song of the summer and crowns a song for 2025.  We talk about the end of rap in the billboard top 40, boyband comebacks, hyper pop, and if ska will ever return.   Fantano breaks down what it will take for Kanye to come back and be reviewed by him.   In the end we play some games.  Fantano rates our host’s Spotify wrapped and plays real or fake with music genres.

      <title>Making $1 Million In 90 days Using Child Labor, Auctioning Sticks, and Selling Himself | Oobah Butler (Episode 1 Part 1)</title>
      <description>Oobah Butler is an international prankster/hoaxter/journalist/filmmaker.   He is known for his outlandish schemes that expose the nonsense of our modern society.  He has created many videos and schemes with vice in the past.  Most recently he took on Amazon.  Now he is putting out a documentary where he turns his sights on the money making, greedy, get rich quick schemes.   He puts aside his usual morals to attempt to make $1 million in 90 days.  Spoiler, he pulls it off.   He goes through several schemes.  Bank loans, asking for money outright, crypto, selling courses, selling outrage, child sweat shops, eventually selling himself and exposing in the end the tax free loop hole that many powerful people in America use known as "buy, borrow, die".    He also reflects in this interview on what it means to "Punch up" as a prankster.   He talks about pranks that didn't work out, how this all started, and why it's important to grab people's attention.
